Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello again this is my 2nd post today providing that my first has published........in fact I'm hoping that this has published lol. Scroll down to see my Noor Design UK card.

So its time for a new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges this fortnight & the challenge is.....

Hearts

.......Yep another heart one.........seems we are all in love this month lol....so show us that love baby ;-)

So my card to show is one I made for hubster's birthday which was last week on the 2nd. I actually made his cards last year but then one I kept looking at & couldntdecide if I liked it so decided to quickly make him another........yep in the dying hours the night before lol.

On the morning though I then couldnt decide if I liked the new one or not....argh!!! Was gonna give him them both & let him decided.......then was gonna pop the shop & buy one lol.

However I bit the bullet & gave him the new one.......

Luckily he loved it.......think he may be a bit bias though lol.

Papers are Maja Design Vintage Autumn.....I love these papers.....what do you mean I say that about them all.....noooooo that doesnt sound like me ;-) sssshhhhhh lol

The centre bit I cut & then the bit that was left I fussy cut the 2 balloons off & popped them onto foam pads. Of course all papers were machine stitched.

This adorable image is from LOTV & is from the Odd Dog range....I've kept looking at these & then decided to get some....however as I wanted quite a few it was cheaper to buy the whole lot for £15....yes £15 for 21 digi images...how fab!!!

I coloured Odd Dog Balloon with distress ink refills & added Glossy Accents to his heart balloon.

The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Bold Banner stamp & die from Noor Design UK. 

The 'Love You' text is form one of my new dies hubby got me the other week from CC Designs....its from Make A Card 12 Smoochies set.........love these make a card sets.......brilliant for simpler cards & foofy cards. I cut the Love You out twice & glued them together.

A very simple card.........hopefully I do a better job with the rest of the Odd Dog images....though they are perfect for the simpler cards lol.

Pop on over to see my teamies creations & why not join us.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Bit Of Wine Maybe

Hi there how are you all? Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Well this is my 2nd scheduled post as I'm currently away on a short break until Friday.

So my post today is for Noor Design UK & I'm showing you a card I made for the show that Tracy is next at, showing one of the new Magnolia stamps from the Recipe Collection........OMGoodness I love these sooooo much!!

I was hoping to have the tutorial this week but I completely forgot about my little holiday & making things for the show......yep brain freeze!!

I've used such pretty papers for this pink card today, they are Lemoncraft 'Heart Painted' & I inked the edges & machine sewn them....sooooo pretty & perfect for shabby chic cards as well.

How beautiful is that large flower.....swooooonnn. I cut the leaves off it separately then glued them down with my paper leaves made with 2 different dies, a Rosy Owl die & the thinner one is a die from the 'Rose & Heart' dies from the Recipe Collection.

The leaves were cut from Pion Design Palette Green l/

Of course I added some beautiful lace from Tracy's store........swoooon again!!

The Magnolia stamp is 'Wine Tasting Tilda' & I stamped her onto Fabriano & coloured her with distress ink refills & then gave the image a covering of Tim Holtz Glaze to protect the image. Tracy will be adding this to her store soon.........its fabulous stuff & my teamie Barbara uses it all the time & I think its a must for images coloured with distress ink.

I also covered Tilda's glass with Glossy Accents.

The sentiment next to Tilda is a Stempelglede Stamp set. 

The dies are Little Darlings, another one of my favourite dies. I cut off the scalloped pearls & added single ones on the image & a row of 3 in the top left corner.

I think this is one of my favourite stamps from this collection as she can be used for so many occasions. I have made a card using the Oven & Chef Edwin for the show but I will show you that another time ;-)

Ok thats it from me I will love ya & leave ya. Will hopefully be back later with another scheduled post.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK Febuary Challenge

Hello there & welcome to Febuary lol........wow a  month has passed us already.......I'm still waiting for the days to be extended to 36 hours instead of 24 but parliment seem to be dragging their heels.....mmmm what couldpossibly be the hold up ;-)

Ok enough of my jibber jabber I'm here today with my DT card for Noor Design UK.......its the 1st of the month so you know what that means.........yep new challenge. An easy one again this month as its the month of lurve & we all need lurve...this month the challenge is...

'HAVE A HEART'

......perfect for Valentines which is around the corner. 

Ok so yesterday I showed you the seaside chair form magnolia......I actually meant to put a sentiment on that saying take it easy lol......then ended up with something different...how I dont know. Anyway here is the chair again but someone's butt is on it today ;-)

Ok the shape is made with a Go-Kreate die but everything else is from Noor Design UK & all links are at the bottom of the post.

Here is the seaside chair with Frenchy Tilda's butt on it lol. Frenchy Tilda is from the Spring Fever Collection 2016 which you can get here.

They were both stamped with Stazon brown as its very rare I use black ink for stamping images & they were coloured with distress ink refills....I love the refills. I also added something else which you cannot see as I've taken inspiration from my talented DT buddy Barbara & I've added Tim Holtz Glaze all over the image.

This stops any smearing, smudging & seals & protects the image & waterproofs it. I cannot tell you how many images I have ruined by accidents but now I have this little magic pot I wont yayyyy.

The papers are again Maja Design Summertime & I've stitched all around the edge.

The oval die the image is on is actually a winter die from Find It Trading but you gotta love dies that can be used all year round & this certainly can.

The Winter die & a lot of the Magnolis stamps including the chair are on sale over at Noor Design Uk.....we all love a sale dont we peeps.

I've also used my favourite leaf die........I love leaf dies & have a few....what I mean is I'e never got enough lol. This Rosy Owl Varigated one is my favourite though & looks fab if you bend the leaves to give them a bit of life.

Ok I'm gonna stopp my babble now as we have a appointment at 9.30.....thankfully its in our home so I dont have to rush off travelling as its 9.15 lol.

Pop on over to see my uber talented teamies & we hope to see lots of hearts & love at our challenge this month. So come along to here & join the fun for a fab prize.

Also I will be doing a tutorial next week so keep looking ;-)

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK - A Gift To Say Thankyou

Hello everyone how are you all?

Have you seen the fabby new products Tracy has recently added here & the new Magnolia Recipe collection is in her store now here.Not forgetting the darling new Little Darling release that is on pre-order here.........I know yumminess overload at its best!!

I'm here today to show you a little giftbox thing I made as a way of saying thank you to someone, or it could even be to say sorry or a get well soon kinda pressie......we alllove pressies when we are poorly.....I was recently poorly so hubby even got me some, he's such a gem;-)

So this is a little boxto hold something sweet inside....... Of course I've used Maja Design Summertime paperswhich are soooooo darn gorgeous.....yes I know they all are arn't they.

If you had to choose a favourite what would it be? 

There is not one bit of this I didnt decorate & as usual I machine sewn all the edges, except the trims going around the edge.........I did think about it but then decided against it.

This is the back & I used a Joy Crafts die cut twice & then added a border from the bottom of one of the Maja Design 12x12 sheets & cut the ends.

So this is the inside which holds a nice bar of chocolate.

I added a pocket for a tag for somewhere to write so you dont have to squash the front down.

I decorated inside the pocket so everything co-ordinates & added the same lace on the front & back to the pocket as well.

I know the choccy is not that yummy but we all decided to eat healthily since the 2nd week of january so this chocoalte is the only one you are allowed......so the only chocolate in my fridge is 5 bars of 85% cocoa lol.....not that nice & 1 chunk is usually enough lol.

I

The image on the front is a Magnolia stamp from the seaside collection & is the Sea View chair........its great to be used alone or with another image... I do have this coloured up with a Tilda sitting on it but will be on my blog in a few days time, its also coloured in a different brown.

I coloured it with distress ink refills onto fabriano paper & then I cut it out using one of my favourite dies Little Darlings Fancy Squares only instead of looking like a square I turned it.

I also used another Joy Crafts die cut it in half & placed half either side.

 The flap I made with dies from Little Darlings Fancy Rectangles, I've also used some of the button dies.

Of course I had to add bling & fancy flowers & a Whimsy sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by & your lovely comments on this blog.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
