Noor Design UK DT Card

Hello everyone I'm here today to show you my DT card for the Noor Design UK Blog.

I've used a Wild Rose Studio stamp today & a new die, well a new die for me lol.

Ok so how darn adorable is this mouse.....I coloured this little fella with distress ink markers & refills. The poinsettia also had white gel pen added to highlight & I put platinum stickles to the centre.

Colours used are..................

Mouse - Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Spun Sugar, Candied Apple, Wild Honey

Poinsettia - Fired Brick, Pine Needles, Vintage Photo

 on Fabriano Watercolour paper then cut out with Little Darlings Fancy Rectangle.

I added some double ruffle trim along the side.......this I stitched on, yeah I made sure it wasn't coming off lol.

Ok so this is my new die......its the Creative Expressions Classic Poinseetia die. Its out of stock at the moment but if you ask Tracy she will order one for you....I LOVE this die its fabulous!!

I cut the Poinsettia's out of Flocked Paper & then once glued together I shaped the petals slightly by bending them. The leaves came with the die set & you also get centre dies but I used the silver pearl string instead.

The red seam binding is from my stash but the green is Tracy's shabby seam bidning & is soooo gorgeous!!

I added 2 silver bells with brown waxed cord & a gorgeous bit of bling to the centre......we gotta have out bling........even more at crimbo time ;-)

This is the inside which is exactly the same layout as it is on the front. I've used the latest Pion Christmas Collection........the colours on every sheet are beautiful!!

As alwasy I've machine stitched each layer & inked the edges with pumice stone.

This photo is to so you can see the snowflake border better at the top. The snowflake I also cut out separately using the matching snowflake singular die & added another beautiful piece of bling to the centre.

The poinsettia at the top I made with just the 2 smaller layers.

Well thats it from me, all links to items used are at the bottom & each item will take you directly to the store. Remember whatever is out of stock Tracy will get it back in for you wherever possible.

Check out the new pre-order for the new Maj Design Christmas collection.......oh my I think all the DT girls have already pre-ordered their's.........they are stunning again!! Maja Design never fail to please us do they ;-)

Thanks for stopping by, take care

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

La La Land Crafts DT Project - Baby Gift Bag

Hello everyone, (she says waving like a loon)

Ok so its Fridays & that means 2 things.........1st its nearly the weekend....she sings merrily lol.

Secondly its time for my La La Land Crafts Project & this week the challenge is.......

ALL SHAPES & SIZES

......so I made a gift bag, a baby gift bag :-) I lurve making baby things.....I can do cute, I can do foofy & I can try to stretch my imagination a wee bit......

Can you guess what papers I used........yes of course I used Maja Design Vintage Baby......these are my absolute favourite baby papers...EVER!! The sentiment in the centre & in the bottom corner are also from the collection.

This is the reverse of the bag.........yeah even bags I cannot only decorate one side lol. I've added in a card to write baby's name, date, weight.....that kind of thing. This is totally removable so the recipient could keep this bit in a baby album or something if they wanted to.

How fabulous is that Stork die, its one of my favourite LLLC dies!! The tags are my favourite LLLC dies.......I think lol........well I love them all!!

Ok so this is where I stretched my imagination a bit! With the LLLC Rattle die I made a real rattle & its removable as its just tied on with seam binding available from Noor Design UK.

I cut it out lots of times to give it strength, added a baby girl to the inside, cut out with a Stitched Nested circle die from the same paper collection & then added eyelets to the handle to thread some seam binding through.

I added pink flat backed string pearl all around the edge which gives it even more strength.

I have to say I soooooo love this & I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

It can simply be tied & untied to the handles at the top. I added just a small flower display & added a plastic dummy in from my stash. Of course I had to add the Rocking Horse.......another of my favourite dies.......I do love LLLC's baby dies!!

Blue and White at La La Land Crafts

Hello everyone I'm here today with my DT card for La La Land Crafts & this week us ladies were set the theme of Blue & White.

I decided use another one of the fabulous new release Christmas images as I lurve Blue & White crimbo cards....

So here is Marci.........

Now there is something different about this card on the first & last photo.....see if you can spot it ;-)

I have used my favourite dies, the 3 christmas trees & North Pole.........just lurve these!!

The sentiment Marci is standing next to are Life Cards from Authentique, they are fab. Of course I machine stitched around mine & thought it would be perfect use as a focal point with Marci.

The papers I've used are First Edition 'Silent Night' 8x8, I saw them last week & ordered them from Amazon on Prime so were here the next day. As I wasn't crafting properly last christmas I didnt get them.......I didnt get anything. It WILL NOT be the case this year lol.

The silver chrsitmas tree Marci is standing next to I fussy cut around one side of the paper so the tree stood out a bit more & wasn't hidden by Marci.

So did you see the difference?? Well I couldnt decide if the Bark Star in the first photo looked right on the card, so I didnt glue it in & took pics with & without....what do ya think??

Rubber Stamp used........

Winter Coat Marci

LLLC Dies used.....

North Pole

Ornate Border Small

Three Christmas Trees

Distress Markers & Refills......

Skin - Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks & Lips - Spun Sugar, Fired Brick

Hair - Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

Coat & Hat - Weathered Wood, Black Soot, Pumice Stone

Shoes - Hickory Smoke

That's it from me, I'm off looking for new bedding & wallpaper today for my bedroom, it got done last summer or just after & I let hubby pick the colour........to say I hate it is an understatement lol. He chose blue.....I hate blue in the home, yet its one of my faves in crafting....strange isn't it lol.

Anyhoo's lovelies enjoy your day &; hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Take care & big hugs to all

Summer Joy at Noor Design UK

Hello everyone, hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm actually typing this post on the friday before the weekend & while my card is reminding me of summer........well through the window is murky, misty & grey.

Thank goodness for Maja Design for bringing sunshine in when skies are grey ;-)

Now I made this card just before the red card last week......my Maja Design papers came & I couldnt decide which ones use first......so I used my DT ones first.....its easier to get over the loss then....mine I can stroke & stroke & stroke.........kinda like my own paper pet & she's called Maja ;-)

Seriously if you dont have these papers yet then rush to get them NOWWWWW....here's the link ;-)

I have made some little banners going out the side there from the strips along the bottom that are on the back of each 12x12 sheet.....love these!! I cut out one fo the little postage stamp doo dah's & give it a bit of distressiing. The die at the top is the fabulous Fence die, all links at the bottom of the post.

 I have used one of the images from the Summertime set & then sat Frenchy Tilda at the bottom.........she has been sat in my coloured up box of images now since I first got her when she was released........she was the first one I coloured.......guess she was waiting for the perfect paper ;-)

The Bicycle is her's lol.

Can you see the beautiful lace peeking out.....mmmm totally gorgeous!!

As you can see inside is decorated as always. All papers have been distressed a bit & inked with pumice stone & then machine stitched.

All flowers of course are form Noor Design UK, as are the pomegranate apples. I also put a string bow in amongst them............our Bev does inspire us all ;-)

Well that's it from me, hope you saw this months challenge, if not scroll down to the post before this one.......looking forward to seeing all those yummy creations.

Thanks for stopping by

Challenges I'm Entering........

Midweek Magnolia's - Summertime

As You Like It - Favourite Paer & Why.......

OMGoodness I am a paper fanatic, collector, hoarder whatever you want to call me, however my favourite paper HAS TO BE Maja Design, its what I've used on this card. I love that each collection comes in 12x12 & 6x6, I love the variety of pattern, the variety of colours in each pack, the quality & thickness is the best ever.......I know I can do anything to these papers & they will withstand it, even a good bashing ahem I mean distressing lol. I love they come with tags & images & even the littlw strip along the reverse of each 12x12 sheet so nothing gets wasted. I love how each release can go with another release...... I always buy LOTS because I need some for stroking....over & over. Yes they become my paper pet........& she's called Maja ;-)
