Noor Design UK DT Cards - All About Love

Hello everyone I'm here todaywith a project for Noor Design Uk, I'm standing in as our lovely Fleur sadly stepped down as she is so busy........she will be a huge miss here :-(
So Ive stepped in to cover this week, although you also have to put up with me tomorrow as that's my normal posting day.
Ok so I've made 2 cards just using gorgeous Dies from Noor Design & fabulous Mask Arts from Dutch Doobadoo & lots of embossing ;-)
Lots of piccies today peeps, sorry ;-)
Both cards I've made using Ivory card & matted up with a bit of white.

The bottom layer I dry embossed using the 'Mask Art Flowers', I love these mask arts from Dutch Doobadoo they really are so versatile. I plan on collecting them all lol.

I also dry embossed the circle shape as well & layered that onto scalloped card in white & then onto the 'Square Frame die' which was heat embossed with Ivory Fran-tage on the raised parts only.

I used 2 different leaves dies, these are my favourite ones. I also used the 'Just Married - Wedding' die but just the wording part & heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then attached that to the larger banner die & created an arch with it across the frame.
I added gorgeous flowers & hearts shaped in each corner.
This is my 2nd card using the gorgeous new 'Heart Filled With Butterflies' die, again using Ivory card. On this card on the bottom layer I used the 'Mask Art A5 Grunge' from Dutch Doobadoo & dry embossed it onto the card. I matted it onto white card & then added lace & machine stitched around the edge.
On the 'Heart' die I heat embossed all the butterflies with Ivory Fran-Tage. I did this by using a rangers clear embossing pen.
This photo shows you it complete, tbh the photo does not do it justice as it really looks so pretty in real life & adds a new dimension to the die. I cut & embossed this die 3 times.........

...........2 of the hearts I matted onto scalloped hearts. The 3rd 'Heart' I cut & embossed I cut out all the butterflies & attached them just by the middles to make them 3D on the top heart.
I also added pearls that I cut form the lace so the hearts could be laid flat, it seemed a shame to throw them away...........so I recycled them lol.

I added the 'Sending Love xoxo & Carpe Diem' die to the top & bottom corners. I heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder.

The 2dn heart I glued on with Collall 3D glue, I also glued the bottom layer to the card using this glue to raise it all up. 

I added a Butterfly to each card using different dies & heat embossing them with gold embossing powder.
I really enjoyed making these cards & I was actually pleased with the way they turned out. They look better IRL..........its hard for our photo's to do our projects justice isn't it.

The gorgeous lace is from Live & Love Crafts which I've had for quite a while.........I was keeping it to stroke lol. The flowers are also from LLC.

Anyhoo's that's it form me, sorry about the long post & lots of photo's. Hopefully these cards have inspired you in some way.
Pop on over to Noor Design UK to see all these fabulous products & much MUCH more. Seriously I cant get enough of these products & all the products inspire me to make more than just my usual cards.

Take care & enjoy your day
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxxxx

Live & Love Crafts DT Card - Happy Birthday

Hello & welcome to the weekend. I'm here today with my creation for Live & Love Crafts & Sandy set us the theme of using the new Apples & Berries........... Well I can tell you I have a serious addiction to these since Sandy sent us DT girlies them..........I think they have gone on about 90% of my creations. Its an addiction I plan on getting no help for lol, I lurve them soooooo much. 
They really are so pretty & sparkly.......I even struggle putting gesso on them so I dont ruin the sparkle lol.
Links to items used at the bottom of the post ;-)
I have used the gorgeous Maja Design 'Nyhavn Limited Edition' collection, these are so gorgeous & the colours are lush. I've inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine sewn them as always. The shape of the card was made using a Go-Kreate die.

Ooooh I'm drooling just looking at this pic & seeing the gorgeous Pomegranate Apples & the gorgeous Beaded Berries.........seriosly peeps if you havnt got any yet....then grab them.....grab LOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've made a tag using a Magnolia Doo-Hickey die & the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from a Stempelglede 'Just A Note' stamp set. I added a 'Key' Charm, some seambinding, a metal hanger & a gorgeous bit of bling for the centre of the bow.
I've used a Tim Holtz die for the Doily on the side. Inside is decorated with the same papers & has a normal doily.
I have used one of the new stamps from the Magnolia Sakura Collection. This one is called 'Tilda With Kneesocks' & I've coloured her distress markers & refills. I've also added fran-tage around the image, inked the edge & machine sewn it onto the frame which was also inked with Tattered Rose.
I also added Stardust Stickles to her Bow & also along the bottom of her dress.

If you look at the top corner I also stamped 'Carte Postale' from the Stempelglede 'Vintage Garden' stamp set in Versamark & embossed it with white embossing powder.

I've added beautiful lace & a shabby bark star, which also has a small rose & a Pomegranate Apple on. Inside the large Magnolia flower I cut off the stamens & added a Pomegranate Apple in its place.........I'm telling you it's an addiction ;-)
Under the flowers is a Magnolia Doo-Hickey & Feathers.

That's it from me today I'm taking my beautiful grand-daughter to her first dance class at dinner time with her mummy...........so excited, she lurves dancing. It's took her mum & dad so long to find a dance class for her age as most dont allow them to start til they are 4.

Sandra has a 10% sale in her store this Bank Holiday Weekend & has new goodies.....so pop on over & make the most of the sale. Oooh you could get lots of these gorgeous Apples & Berries as well as LOTS of other gorgeous products that Sandy stocks. Go on spoil yourself, you are all worth it ;-)

Take care lovelies & enjoy your weekend.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxxxx
