Get well

Hello here is my card from the Seven hills crafts blog today.

I have been playing with the fabulous new felt we have in store.

I have used dies from Paper Smooches and no stamping.

I have kept the design very simple to show off the felt die cuts.

I have used the hickory leaf die with green felt and the used big blooms in white and yellow felt.

I simple used some fabric glue a bit like pva to adhere them together and to the card panel.

The panel has some distress ink to make the white flower show up more.

I have used the get well die and had coloured the card with distress ink and perfect pearls.

To finish i added a button from my stash and some enamel dots.

The felt cuts beautifully first time and makes a nice change from paper.

A whimsey snowdude christmas

Hello here is my post from the Make the day special stamp store blog.

I'm still making my Christmas cards and today I reach for some paper smooches stamps.

I still haven't got a Santa stamp can you believe that? So i had to use Jerome the gnome from paper smooches instead.

I have kept this very simple as I'm planning on making a few.

I made the background using a Lawn fawn stitched rectangle die and some distress inks. 

My favourite mix at the moment is peacock feathers and chipped sapphire.

I then splashed with some glittery mist that i have,

I have Jerome as a single stamp but he is now available in the forest whimsey set.

He is coloured with copics to look like Santa and then fussy cut.

The robin and snowman are both from swanky snowdudes and again coloured with copics and fussy cut.

They are all adhered on foam tape.

The sentiment from joyful greetings is heat embossed in platinum.

Thanks from the bottom of my he(art) Tara

Hello.

Hope you are enjoying our blog hop the team have done a fantastic job. 

I have another card for Tara and Rick this time with a funny cat from Paper smooches nine lives.

I started by making a smooshed distress ink background with peacock feathers on a die cut panel.

I then water coloured the cat and easel with inktense pencils.

Once they were all dry i fussy cut and added to the panel.

Because the cat has such a funny eccentric look i thought it would be fun to make it look like he was painting so i used the painted palette die set.

And to finish i of course had to add some clear sequins.

The full hop list is here and your next stop is Keren

Happy mail

Hello.

I have to post something to a crafty friend and i decided to spice up and recycle an envelope to use.

The envelope was already used so i removed the stamp and then got happy with Paper smooches reflections 2 stamp set and lots of distress inks.

To cover the address that was already written on the envelope i just used a circle die cut which i will write my crafty friends address onto.

After all of the stamping i added some liquid pearls just for an extra detail and one that shouldn't be ruined by going through the postal system.

I am entering this at Paper smooches sparks anything goes challenge.

Paper smooches sparks, get well

Hello.

An almost last minute entry for the paper smooches sparks picture perfect challenge.

I have used Paper smooches stamps and dies with distress inks to create a water colour effect.

I had to go with these flowers from pretty momma set, as they are perfect for the inspiration picture.

I stamped them with distress inks and using a water brush puled the colour from the stamped image. 

In some places i added some extra ink that i had on a acrylic blog

I added the get well word die in gold card as my sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

Tag you're it #15

Hello.

Quick post this morning so i can join in at the current tag you're it challenge.

The awesome  Donna Mikasa is providing this weeks inspiration.

I have used paper smooches stamps with distress inks to make these colourful watercolour effect butterflies.

The tag is from reverse confetti.

I masked the tag so that just the scallops could be coloured with black distress ink.

The die cut sentiment is from paper smooches.

Thanks for looking.

Dazzling divas #62

Thanks x 

Hello.

Dazzling divas challenge #62 is a colour challenge all the design team have used dark chocolate and scarlet red craft metal sheets from Add a Little Dazzle.

For my card i have used products from Paper smooches, Lawn fawn and Winnie and Walter.

I have used the rose dies from Paper smooches to make the inlaid flower on the balsa wood tag.

The rose part is scarlet red metal and the stem is dark chocolate.

I didn't want anything to steel the show from the metal so kept the sentiment white and used clear sequins.

I think the red really pops nicely from the wood.

Dazzling Divas #59

Hello.

Welcome to Dazzling divas challenge #59. 

The Add a Little Dazzle design  team have the challenge of "Music".

Or you can take inspiration from the picture.

And you don't have to use craft metal sheets to enter.

As our theme for this weeks challenge is music i reached instantly for my paper smooches be boppin set.

Its the only musical type set i have and has some fun images such as the retro cassette tape that i have used with some diamond black craft metal sheets.

I stamped the image in versa mark and used some puffy white embossing powder before fussy cutting from the metal.

The keyboard is heat embossed in platinum just for a little extra shine.

The top panel is raised above the card base which has some musical notes stamped in grey ink.

As i felt the card needed a little pop of colour i added the stars from the same set in red and covered them with glossy accents.

As its anything goes week at Paper smooches sparks I'm entering my card there.

Thanks friend

Hello.

I have a card over at the make the day special stamp store blog today.

I took my inspiration from the paper smooches sparks  picture perfect challenge.

Rather than my normal clean and simple look I have gone for some layers.

Love this layered look but find it really difficult to do.

I have layered up some patterned papers that i have had for ages.

Then I have used the paper smooches roses die, which holds some twine in place.

The thanks word die is cut twice in black and silver, the black underneath kind of grounds the word.

I stamped the friend stamp from sentiment sampler in black archival ink straight onto the paper.

I finished with some clear sequins from neat and tangled.
