Final card for the Love Fest Event ! :-)

Hi all :-) It has been a marathon week of crafting for me and I have really enjoyed it ,,, lots of fun ! :-)

The final challenge is hosted by The Greeting Farm and they have asked us to use a  die and make a love themed card.

I decided to make a Christmas card using the Simon Exclusives ‘Falling Stars’ die. I used some navy card, die cut it and then popped it on the card using pop dots, I love the way shadows are created doing this :-)  I tore strips of white card and embossed one using a Sizzix Dots Embossing Folder and glittered another with Hero Arts Prisma Glitter, and I added a strip of Washi Tape across the bottom.

I used a stamp set from The Greeting Farm, called ‘Warm and Cozy’, I coloured the snowpeople with Copics and cut them out, popping them on the snow drifts with pop dots. I added glossy accents to their nosed and black diamond stickles to their buttons. The sentiment is from a Wild Rose Studio sentiment set.

Thanks for looking :-)

I followed the sketch but made it rectangular instead :-)

I used the fabulous Simon Says Stamp ‘March Card Kit. I stamped the stems using Hero Arts Grass Chalk Ink. I then stamped, coloured with Copics and fussy cut the flowers. I inked the edges with stormy sky distress ink and then stitched them all on my machine, I  wrapped some twine around the card ( in keeping with the elements on the sketch ,, sort of :)) and popped the whole panel up on pop dots.  The cute little bee is a new die from Memory Box ‘Jolly Bumblebees, and the sentiment is from the stamp set in the kit :-)

Splitcoast Stampers Love Fest Day 10 :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you’re having a fab weekend and maybe managed a few hours of crafting :-)

I am here with my card for Day 10 of the Love Fest over on the Splitcoast Stampers Website and today’s theme is a colour challenge hosted by Verve Stamps.

Aqua / Brown and either Pink or Yellow :-)

I don’t have any Verve products so I made my card using products in the Simon Says Stamp March card Kit :-)

I used a Sizzix Lovely Flowers die and embossed the flower with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder, then added a Doodlebug Button and twine. I also used a Simon’s Exclusives Mini Hearts Die and cut lots of hearts, smothering in Star Dust Stickles to finish :-)

Love Fest Day 9 ,,, A Little Love :-)

Hi all :-)  We are already up to Day 9 of the Love fest Event over on the Splitcoast Stampers Website so I am sort of almost keeping up :-) 

Day 9 is hosted by Taylored Expressions and they are asking us to make a small set of cards no bigger than 3" X 3"

I don’t have any of the company’s stamps so I decided to make a set using the very cute Simon Exclusives Boston Terrier Love stamp and die set :-)

I stamped and die cut the image and coloured with copics, I used his little accessory stamps and gave 2 a rather dashing dickie bow and 2 a fetching scarf , these were cut from Fabscraps Classic paper. I LOVE these papers ,, they are a bit more expensive ,, but sooo luscious :-)

I used some not very patterned designer paper and inked the edges with stormy sky and forest moss distress ink. I used the fence die from a Where The heart Is set to cut some Woodgrain Card and inked this with Vintage Photo ink.  I stamped some grass using a Hero Arts stamp and added my fave Star Dust Stickles The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I used a Simon Exclusives ‘Talk Bubbles’ die to finish :-)

Which do you prefer ?? Scarf or Bow ,,, lol :-)

Thanks for looking :-) You still have time to join in the fun over on the SCS site :-) Simon Says Stamp hosted a ‘Die Crazy’ challenge a few days ago and we would love to see you over there :-) CLICK HERE for more details :-)

Love Fest Day 8 :-)

Hi :-) I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend :-)

Day 8 of the Love Fest Event is hosted by Unity Stamps Co and they have this fabulous photo inspiration for us to follow ,,,

I really liked the photo and wanted to try to copy it as much as possible onto my card.

I used a piece of delicately patterned paper and stamped over it using the large rose stamp from the set and embossed with versamark ink and clear powder. I then used  Peacock Feathers, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo Distress Inks over the top, before distressing the edges. I used a Memory Box Honeyblossom Sprig die, some gems and a liberal sprinkling of star dust stickles. I coloured a strip of Crinkle Ribbon with the same inks, tied a bow and popped on there with glossy accents.  I finished with a ‘Hello’ from the same set.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one  :-)

 I just have one more card to make now for the Love Fest and then its finished !! ,,,,, back soon ! :-)
