La La Land Crafts DT Card

Ahoy There...........how are you all? Yay its Friday once again & here comes the weekend but first I will show you my creation for the La La Land Crafts Blog & this week us girlies had the theme of Nautical.....Ahoy There!!

Now the style of this card was totally inspired by the uber super talented Camilla.......OMG I love ALL of her creations, even if I dont get time to see them all I'm so glad I saw this one....love at first sight ;-)

Now shamefully I have no nautical dies by LLLC so I've had to improvise the best I can......its also why this style card was perfect ;-)

As you can see the front is cut on an angle......

........to show the sail inside which was drawn & cut freehand.......I made a stencil for it as I will be making more of these.....I really really enjoyed making it :-)

I changed the sail a wee bit & decided to add a little pocket at the back for a tag, the tag & all papers are from Maja Design Summertime........I love this collection so darn much!!

Anyway I added eyelets & blue waxed cord to a handmade straw & at the mo I dont have any paper straws :-( Upside to that was the pattern matched lol.

The little boats on the place for writing were fussy cut from the Maja Collection.

I used the Icicle Border die that was recently released & cut out some green & turned it upside down & cut bits from it & inked it up quite a bit to make it look a dirty kind of green......well nothing stays clean under the sea ;-)

I have used the Stork dies but cut off the baby, sang & rocked it gently to sleep before placing down carefully........rock a bye baby from a storks mouth ;-) So the stork has become a seagull now.........ssshhh it does. Although the seagulls coming into my garden dont quite look like this but its ok.........things are different in the world of La La Land lol.

Added shells, tiny glass bottle & some Natural Moss....behind all that is my hand cut sea with white Structure Paste along the top like waves. Maja Design paper is from Noor Design UK.

Deep Ocean Challenges DT Card - Bingo

Hello again....I'm here again with my 2nd DT Card. This time its for Deep Ocean Challenges & this fortnight we have a fab Bingo board....

you can choose a line or choose the colours.....or you could be brave & go for the full house........ dont forget to mention which line you are doing in your blog-post. 

Also one extra winner will be chosen who plays the full house.

I went for nearly the full house............unless butteflies are animals lol.

So I have, Button, Lace, Chipboard, Flowers, Die-Cuts, Pearl, Sentiment & Charm.

I have used some extremely pretty papers & ones that I've shamefully neglected......terrible thing is they are in my favourite colours argh what is wrong with me!! I have used the gorgeous Pion Design 'Scent Of Lavender', I've used 'Preserving The Scent' & the bottom layer 'Fields Of Purple'....all have been inked with pumice stone, slightly distressed & machine sewn.

The shape is from a Go-Kreate die.

Here you can see the lace & the charm there on one of the tags. The tags slide into a vellum pocket which I made myself. The oval the Magnolia stamp is on is a Memory Box stitched oval die. The magnolia stamp is Tilda with Heart Rice & she was coloured with distress markers & refills.

In the top right corner is the chipboard, this is Scrapiniec Inidian Summer Dream Catcher but over the circle I cut out a circle from the Pion Scent Of Lavender Tags sheet & attached a cabochon thingy from my stash lol.

I've added a Tag from the Pion sheet & the other tag is from a Magnolia doo-hickey with a sentiment from the Stempelglede Just A Note stamp set.

Flowers are form Noor Design UK.

This is what this part of the card looks like without the tags in.

I also cut butterflies from the Pion Scent Of Lavender Borders & covered them in Crackle Accents.

You can also see some CheeseCloth under there I think as well lol.

The seam binding is from my stash as is the lace. The gorgeous Brass & Pearl button is from Noor Design UK.......love these things!!

The leaf die cuts are a mixture of La La Land Crafts & Craft & You.

As always the inside is decorated to match the front of the card.

Hope you will play along with our Bingo Board this fortnight I had such fun with this. Pop along here to see my fabulous teamies creations......I really do work with super talented girlies.

Enjoy your night peeps & thank you for stopping by.

Take care & big hugs to all.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Post

Hello everyone. Well are your kiddies back to school this week....my grandson starts nursery & my grand-daughter starts all day.....omgoodness they grow too fast & I will miss seeing her in an afternoon........although she does have to walk past mine to school & back so maybe I can nab them both for tea lol.

Anyhoo lets get on with my card & I've made a christmas card, yes another one....but its hard not to when Tracy stocks lush papers & fabulous Christmas dies.....not to mention all the other yummy scrummy stuff ;-)

I have used the lushious Pion Greetings From The North Pole papers & inked around the edge with pumice stone then machine stitched all around. I also added Cheesecloth between the 2 layers on the top.

For the shape I've used Find It Trading Christmas Card set.....I have to say these dies are awesome & cut perfectly....Im really impressed with these & I'm a fuss-pot when it comes to dies.

The Spirited Birds are also a Find It Trading die as well which I also added green moss & pomegranate apples to. I used another sheet of North Pole for the birdies & branch.....

So the scrolly bit........yeah my technical term for the die-cut is from the Christmas Card Set die, its the centre one. I added green moss again to the leaves & a little bit of Natural Moss & pomegranates apples, a flower & a little fir cone (cone from my stash). This die is out of stock but you can still order it & Tracy will get it in.

Down the bottom corner I made 2 bows with white seam binding & one from green seam binding(from my stash but Tracy does a much nicer one here) & added some gorgeous bling to the centre.........yeah more pomegranate apples sneaked in there too....& a fir cone ;-) There is also a wee bit of Natural Moss there as well. 

On the blue top paper inside the inner frame I added a sprinkling of shabby white fran-tage & then added the Scrapiniec words Merry Christmas........these I left natural & just added a touch of Pumice Stone ink to them. 

The bottom I added a Little Darlings Gilded Oval die & one of my favourite leaf dies.

Thats it from me peeps. Thank you for stopping by & hope you have a wonderful day......

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

We took our family to an Authentique Steakhouse when we went away this last weekend as a treat for them..........it was fabulous, truly enjoyed it. My son took some pics of my grandchildren so I thought I would show 2 of them to you...

Here is Payton making a silly face & getting her eyes to do this........

We nearly wet ourselves when she pulled this face........its so funny lol.

This is my handsome Arjay who had that huge struggle before & after he was born & still has a struggle now, but look at him here eating his ice-cream....happy little chappy he is. Would you believe he turned 3 in June......see how fast time goes!!

I love my family & its a blessing to be a grandparent to 2 very awesome children, I truly am so so lucky :-)

I'm away for the weekend in the caravans with the whole family.....we have probably left by the time you are reading this.......

Ok the other fab reason its friday is its La La day ;-) Yep I get to show you my creation for La La Land Crafts & this week our theme was to use Kraft.....

I made a pretty in pink card for this pretty lady.......though she would suit all colours dont you think...

I used 'Summer Fun Marci' & coloured her with Copics.....yeah still trying get back in the swing of them, getting there slowly.

I love her hair bunches, reminds me of my grand-daughter Payton when she has her hair like this :-)

The frame Marci is in in the remnant of a Scrapiniec chipboard & I used it as a frame......waste nothing lol. I also popped a Happy Summer sentiment from Maja Design Summertime Die-Cuts in the corner.

The pretty paper is Studio Light No.17 6x6 pad & I machine stitched all layers. The pen nib in the centre of the butterfly is from Noor Design UK, also the flowers & pomegrantae apples are & the Gessso. The lace & blingy button I think were from Live & Love Crafts.

Noor Design UK Challenge 22

Hello how are you all?

Well its the 1st of the Month so that means its time for a brand new challenge over at Noor Design UK & this month its a super easy one that lots of you will love....

FLOWERS & LACE

.....see told you lots of you will love it ;-)

So I decided to make a christmas card as Tracy sent me some fabulous Pion papers in my DT pack.........

All links to items used will be at the bottom of the post

I love these images they are fabulous. I placed this on a Scrapiniec Chipboard frame which got a coat of white spray then sprinkled with glitter........christmas means bling, right ;-)

I added Lace Grace but cut in half....the fabulous thing about this lace is you can either keep it wide which looks gorgeous or cut it in half....which then gives you double the amount for the same price........now that sounds good doesnt it ;-)

I used some seam binding from Noor Design UK but put it through the GSD straightners to straighten it.......I like it both ways wrinkly or straight lol. Have you seen the gorgeous droolworthy button in the centre......OMGoodness its so so pretty.

You can also see the sparkle off the glitter on the Scrapiniec frame on this pic a bit.

Of course I decorated inside to compliment the front as always & machine stitched all layers.

The holly leaves I added spots of Glossy Accents to make them look like water droplets. The spots on the Reindeers I made using Gesso.

All of these fabulous products & much MUCH more can be found at Noor Design UK.....go on treat yourself or better still get your partner to treat you ;-)

LOVE THAT DRESS

Hello everyone how are you all? Hope those in the UK had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, the weather up here in the North East was beautiful all day.....made a nice change for a Bank Holiday lol.

Ok you havn't come here to hear about the weather here by the sea have you.....so how about seeing one of the fabulous new stamps Tracy has in her store over at Noor Design UK......

She is called 'Love The Dress' & is a new rubber stamp from Little Darlings....all links below.

She comes with a sentiment & a few other bits which I didnt add........good thing about these stamps is you can mix & match ;-)

I coloured her on Fabriano.........seriously if you have not tried this watercolour paper its the bomb as they say lol....my old favourite was Langton but this is loads better!!

I added beautiful pink lace Estelle & pink rose trim. The papers are the beautiful 'Just Love Me' by Lemoncraft & I inked all the edges with pumice stone & machine stitched.

The image is cut with Little Dalrings Gilded Oval & I added the scrolly bit at the bottom, I cut this twice, one in white card & then layered it up in the same paper I've used on the card. I then added one of the fabulous new centres Tracy has in.........this really is so pretty.

Of course flowers from Noor Design UK & I added Moss in as well which adds a perfect touch.....love this stuff, so beware you will be seeing it lots!!

Around the image I also used the Dutch Doobadoo Mask Art A6 Stars, I used pumice stone ink but dabbed the excess off on a scrap bit of paper so it was lighter & didnt overpower the image...love the effect it gives & thought she deserved the extra ;-)

Thats it from me but pop on over to Noor Design UK here, Tracy has added some wondeful new items over the weekend, truly yummy. Also my favourite paper Maja Design, well Tracy has the Vintage Romance now available in 12x12 in her store......yes I'm getting it all :-)

Thanks for stopping by lovelies, tatty bye.
