New Stamp At Bunny Zoes

Good evening everyone how are you all? Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We certainly did although yesterday we didnt remember about the clocks going back til 5pm.........so when we thought we were eating at the usual time, it was actually an hour later doh!! lol.

Anyhoo's I'm here with a quicky post to show you a new stamp over at Bunny Zoes. 
This is one of the new Pollycraft rubber stamps, isn't she a cutie ;0) Yes I've also done a CAS card, a proper CAS card ;0) Although if I'm being honest I think any of my cards that dont have foofiness on are CAS..............a girl needs her foofiness lol.

I have used a Whimsy 'Friendship Tickets' sentiment & stamped onto ribbon with Stazon & added a Kaisercraft 'Pearl Brad' to attach it to the card.

This cutie is called 'Queenie' & I coloured her with Copics, colours used are below..........
E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20
E47, E44, E43, E41, 
YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Y28, Y26, Y21
C3, C1, C00
W5, W3, W1, W0

The papers I've used are Carta Bella 'Wildflower' & these 2 I thought went perfect together, I' love em ;0) The card blank is from my stash, its not very often I use them as I prefer to use thicker card but they are good for the whole low postage thing to go with the CAS look lol.

Well thats it from me although let me tell you this wasn't as quick as I would have liked. No I have a certain young lady sitting next to me in her wheelchair who is giggling her pants off..........seriously Natalie has the most infectious laugh & you end up laughing with her. I'm useless when I laugh & can never do anything lol, so its took a tad longer............but I say enjoy the little things, although as Natty cant talk her laugh is a big thing to us...............

Am half way round to a lot of you, I will make it to all of you eventually lol. See you soon. Thank you so much for stopping by it means the world.

Tatty bye & big hugs to all mmwah

This is the inside that you pull out, the baby feet are from a Magnolia stamp from the same collection. The verse is a Stampendous wood block stamp from my stash. On the reverse side I've added somewhere to write your own personal message.
The totally gorgeous paper is Pion 'Pink Forget Me Not 12x12' & the inside is 'Baby Girl 6x6', both from the Sweet Baby Collection. The strip at the bottom of the image is also from the 'Baby Girl 6x6' sheet. All papers have of course been machine stitched & I have also sewn the gorgeous lace to it which is called 'Madeleine' from LLC. The yummy ribbon is from my stash.

Well thats it form me this post has took me over 2 hours to do as every time I do some Payton comes to play.............of course I just love to play with Payton ;0)

Crafty Little Fairies DT Card

Hello everyone I'm running a wee bit late today I have a certain young lady who has kept us up all night...........believe she has a set of lungs on her like you wouldnt believe. Yes she was a bugger, so thats it...........the only solution is to put her on ebay ;0)
Kidding of course & as I'm typing this & telling her what I've said she is now giggling at me.......

Anyhoo's on with the post & its time for a new challenge over at Crafty Little Fairies & this week its the pink fairies turn.........yes I know I'm blue ssshhhh I'm challenge crashing ;0) The theme is..
ADD A TAG
.........simple as that, just add a tag somewhere. Remember please that you have to have either a stamped or a digi image, it can be of any company as long as its an image you coloured.
Here is my other James Bear finally on a card, its only took what 2 weeks I think since I coloured him, poor thing, isn't he so darn cute!!

I used gorgeous Pion 'Phlox' from the lush Vintage Garden collection. I cut out one the little images & made a tag with it. I cut the top off a 'So Wrapped Lovely' tag & attached it to the image & added string, 'Cheesecloth' & a small LOTV 'Sentiment Tag'.

The inside I also decorated as always, added the same frame & Doo-Hickey 'Swirl' thats on the front of the card.

The gorgeous stamp is called 'James Big Heart' & I have to say this is one of my faves of LOTV, he's just gorgeous!! I coloured him with my distress markers, I lurve LOTV images when they look soft :0)

I used a Grand Spellbinder die for the second layer & as always machine stitched all the papers. All the flowers except the tiny ones are WOC from LLC & the leaves are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns'. I added 'Pearl Rose Organza' & some gorgeous lace from LLC which Sandy doesnt have anymore :0(Also added another LOTV 'Sentiment Tag'. The pink fabric flower is from my stash.

Well thats it form me today its took ages for me to do this post as my lappy running slow for some reason ggggrrrrr!!

Ok now for my card lol.............
Ooooh Lace & Tulle..........heaven!! Yeah ok I'm easily pleased lol. Though I have to say the lace on here is my last bit from my stash...........although I will tell you a secret........ I made a gift bag last year with a SC image on, now the image I loved, the bag however.....well that was kinda erm.........CRAP!! So I ripped it apart so I could have this lace back lol.

The banner of course is La La Land Crafts 'Heart Banner' & I added letters on it from some Pion paper.

The gorgeous paper is Prima 'Romantic' I think its called, I would pop & have a look but I have a dog lying on me asleep..........so dont want disturb him lol.........excuses, excuses eh ;0)

The gorgeous stamp is 'Love Is In The Air Tilda', I actually think this is the first time I've inked her up....shame on me. I coloured her with Distress Markers, oops I forgot colour her cheeks, better get that done later. I also stamped around the edge in places with my LOTV stamp

Of course inside is decorated as always. Most of the flowers are WOC & the lighter pink is from LLC. The beautiful Tulle around the image is also from LLC, I absolutely love this stuff but do shed a tear when I use it :0( There is also a doily under there somewhere lol.

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone how are you all? Hope you all had a lovely weekend, didnt it go fast, I'm sure we were robbed you know...........we really didnt get a full weekend...

I know I said I would be here yesterday with a DT make but I got my sundays mixed up & its this sunday coming lol. However I remembered today that I still hadnt posted this card which I made about a week ago..........its for a MALE!! What I hear you say lol. Yeah it doesn't happen very often but we do them.........I think men should like foofiness just like us women you know ;0)

Ok here is my male card & its with the best stamp company for male images....the first one I turn to ;0)
Yes of course its LOTV, I lurve their male stamps, well I love ALL their stamps how can you not!!

I've also used one of my favourtie MME pads, this one is 'Lost & Found - Breeze' & I've machine sewn all the layers & matted them onto teal card.

The stamp is called 'Cheers Bear' isn't he a cutie in his little shirt & tie. I coloured him with Distress Markers & I also added Glossy Accents to his beer ( yes beer cus he's all grown up, hence the shirt & tie lol) but its hard to see that :0(

Inside is of course decorated as always.
I die-cut 2 stars out of the pad & matted them onto card, because of the type of paper it is I think you can get away with even less embellishments. The sentiment is also LOTV & its one of their 'Sentiment Tags' I lurve these, my favourite sentiments tbh.

Well thats it from me I'm clock watching ready to go shopping for those fabulous new LOTV stamps.........well its law to have them ;0) 

Thank you so much for stopping by it really means a lot.

Crafty Little Fairies DT Card

Hello everyone how are you all? I am running extremely late with this card, I totally forgot to put it on my blog...........yes I've slapped my wrists :0(
So it will be a quick post as I'm running so late lol.
We have a brand new challenge over at Crafty Little Fairies this week & the theme is.............
DOWN ON THE FARM
...........so it basically means 'Farm Animals' or 'Farms'. I'm not great at animals so found this a bit daunting lol. However I have done an animal that is always found on a farm ;0)
Please dont look too closely lol. I went with a simple kinda card with some brighter colours.

The sentiment at the top I made up myself & stamped the letters so they were not perfect, especially the Y's. The 'Tiles' are Whimsy sentiment tiles.

The image is a digi image from Whimsy called 'Birthday Cow' & I coloured it with copics. Sorry I didnt write the colours down :0(

The papers are Fancy Pants, cant remember which pad though sorry. I've machine stitched all around the layers.

Well thats it form me, told you it would be a quick post. Hope you will bring your farm animals & join us this week, pop on over here to see my super teamies creations.

Thank you for stopping by will see you tomorrow with another DT card & another animal on that lol.
