SCS Love Fest Day 4 + House Mouse Challenge Reminder :-)

9799436783001615634

Hi all :-) I made this Mid Week Reminder for the ‘ I Love you SEW Much’ challenge over on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge and combined it with the Day 4 of the Love Fest Event over on the Splitcoast Stampers Website

 Day 4 is hosted by Score-Pal and are asking for Flip Flap or Oodles of Folds :-)

I used this very cute Happy Hopper image called ‘A Stitch In Time’  and thought it would be perfect for making a little box to keep my embroidery threads in ,,, not that I embroider ,, don’t misunderstandy :-)

019

I have had this very thick, strong card for eons and thought it would be fab for making a strong box and then I made an easel style card to pop on the top.  I coloured the image with Copics and added star dust stickles here and there. The papers are from the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit 
( Did I tell you how much I LOVE these kits !! It’s like having a birthday every month when the postie arrives !! :-))

019-001

I cut a little bit of Cottage Red Felt using a Sizzix Hexagon die and stitched the edges of this, and all the papers on my machine. I finished with some White Hemptique Twine, a button and a Jillibean Soup Card Sentiment Sticker, I printed the text on my Silhouette Cameo.

021

Thanks for looking :-) Some of the DT have also joined in with this mid week reminder so hop on over and see what they made too ! :-)

006

I coloured the image with copics and layered and paper pieced her apron and the little pouch, slotting the spoon and spatula in there :-) The papers, hearts and sentiment are all from the Simon Says February card Kit.

Hi All :-) I hope you have a lovely weekend planned and hope you manage to find some crafty time too :-)
It is now Day 2 of the Love fest Event over on the Splitcoast stampers website and I am trying to join in every day :-) there are lots of companies involved and lots of prizes on offer !! 
Sweet and Sassy Stamps are hosting today’s challenge and we have this fab sketch to follow
LOVEFEST2013B-sketch
And here is my take on it
003

I used papers and products in the new Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit Friendship Flowers’. I LOVE the papers and stickers in this kit, I am not generally a sticker person but I love these ,,, :-) I used the flower one ,,, isn’t it cute ! :-) They are the new Daphne’s Closet pack from Lawn Fawn :-)
I stamped and embossed the sentiment and then randomly stamped flowers using various colours of brilliance inks, adding a few gems in the centre of the flowers. The ribbon is Tim Holtz Crinkle Ribbon, coloured with a YR02 copic marker.

this is the card kit ,,, isn’t it GORGEOUSSSS :-)

Hi all :-) there is a fabulous stamping and crafting Love Fest event happening over on the Splitcoast Stampers Website and I am intending to join in every day !! :-) There are lots of fun challenges to enter and lots of fab prizes to be won !! ( keeping my fingers crossed here ,,, lol )

Simon Says Stamp is one of the companies involved and I am not going to tell you which day they are sponsoring ,,, that will be a surprise !! :-)

Anyways ,,, I am already a day late with this so I had better get a move on ,,,, :-)
The theme for day one was to incorporate items into your card that begin with the letters L, O, V, and E.

007

L, ,,, LOVE banner
O,,,, Opaque Embossing Powder
V,,,,, Valentine’s
E,,, Embossing

I will link all the products I used at the bottom of this post. Just to add that I used the Curvy Heart Die to cut the aperture, it is a lovely big size :-)

Close Up :-)
