Live Laugh Love from Swedish House Crafts

Hi everyone I'm here today using one of the new Magnolia stamps from the Sunbeam Collection along with an older Magnolia background stamp from my stash.

I've used a Magnolia Tag die & added words on it from Gummiapan, Live, Laugh.......I've stamped them with Versafine black ink & stamped onto Maja Design Monochrome 'Muted Fuchsia', cut them out & then attached to the tags.

For the 'Love' part of the Gummiapan text stamp I stamped it onto Maja Design Celebration 'The Table Is Set' & cut it out using Gummiapan Stitched Banners Thinner dies. I cut out the 2 lowest sizes & used the same paper just the larger one is the reverse side.

To create the scene I have used 2 Magnolia stamps, Sunbeam Tilda from the latest Sunbeam Collection & Barbed Wire from the Summer Memories collection I think. Suha has the mini version of this background stamp in her store.

I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform which makes masking images together a breeze. I then coloured them with distress ink refills.

I also added 2 chipboard wood fences either side of the image. These I painted white with some white paint from my stash. I also added a few small flowers from my stash.

The leaves were all cut with Magnolia Dies.

The main paper used on the card is Maja Design Celebration, I've used 12x12 sheets 'The Table Is Set' & 'To The Party' reverse side. I've also machine stitched all the edges as always & decorated inside to match the front.

I cut out the image using Gummiapan Stitched Rectangles Dies & then attached that to Maja Design Monochrome Muted Fuchsia cut out using Gummiapan Rectangle Postage dies.

Flowers, lace & doily are from my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by & hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone, yay its the weekend, my favourite time of the week as it's quality family time.

My head has not been screwed on right this week at all and not just crafting! 

I've used "My Own Key Tilda" from the You Are Invited collection and I coloured her with distress ink refills and covered her bow on the key in glitter to give the girl a bit of bling.

Behind her I have added a House using Magnolia House Tag dies from the same collection. You get a little house with it as well as a key, I didn't use the key but the little house I added in co-ordinating design paper to act like a door, the roof also matches. The butterflies are from the same paper collection as I have used on the card. The tiny white butterfly at the bottom of the card is a Gummiapan Stamp which I stamped onto vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder and fussy cut out.

I have added two more Magnolia DooHickey dies at the top. The first one is the Dream Tag from the Butterfly Dreams Collection, which I cut in the co-ordinating paper. The butterfly is from my stash. I've also added a key which was cut using another Magnolia die, Vintage Keys from the Sweet Rainbow collection.

I've also used the Magnolia Love Typewriter dies from the You Are Invited Collection. There is also a brand new die used on here from Gummiapan. It's the Postage Stamp Rectangle Nesting dies and they are fabulous. They are also available in a Square too. Pop on over to see the yummy new products Suha has got in and more coming.

The yummy scrummy paper is Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics Collection........oh my I lurve this collection and a little part of me cries when I have to cut it....I cannot hoard it forever though can I lol! The tag is also from that collection and I stamped "Home Sweet Home" on it and added a charm from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

AUTUMN

Hello everyone how are you all?

Sorry I've been missing in action I've been quite ill lately & then had to have tests took. So have not had energy to even blog, let alone craft but I finally made this card.....only took me 4 days lol.

Anyway I'm late with not 1 but 2 DT cards oops, so I'm combining them both...yep I'm cheating lol.

Ok so the new challenges have started over at All About Magnolia & Deep Ocean Challenges & luckily for me their themes are nearly the same.......phew!!! Lol.

AUTUMN COLOURS at DOC or AUTUMN/HALLOWEEN also at AAM

I've gone with Autumn colours to suit both challenges. I absolutely love Autumn, I love all the changing colours of the leaves & trees & love the rustle under my feet when the leaves have fallen on the ground. Its a beautiful time of year.

I thought I would use a Halloween kind of stamp but make her more Autumn orientated ;-)

This is Witch Tilda With Small Pumpkins but I thought rather than her being a witch she could just be sitting amongst the trees enjoying Autumn.

The papers are Maja Design 'Walking In The Forest' 6x6 pad from Swedish Houe Crafts. I have machine stitched the both layers & the top layer I cut out using a die from Magnolia Doohickey Club Kit Volume 11........you can get these Magnolia Volumes from Swedish House Crafts at a great price & they are soooo worth the money.

I also added gesso to both layers to soften them & give them a shabby chic look.....Autumn the shabby chic way lol.

I have cut the envelope from the Maja Design 6x6 pad & then cut the tags from it also & added eyelets & waxed cord & popped them inside the envelope to write little messages on them.

I also cut the shaped larger tag form the same pad & added Autumn to the top, the Autumn I cut from the front cover of Maja Design 'Vintage Autumn Basic's' 6x6 pad, I have 2 pads & 1 is nearly gone so used that cover.......recycle recycle lol ;-)

The tree's are Doohickey dies from Swedish House Crafts called 'Birch' from the Animal Of The Year collection. I cut it out of Kraft cardstock & then gave it a painting with gesso. The second tree I popped onto foam pad to give it a 3-D effect.

The Magnolia stamp I coloured with distress ink refills, I also added stardust stickles to the pumpkins.

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

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose - Skin

Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs - Hair

Rusty Hinge, Hickory Smoke, Carved Pumpkin  - Dress & Band on Hat

Frayed Burlap - Boots & Hat

Ooops I forgot to add colour to her lace at the bottom of the dress......better fix that :-/

Flowers are WOC, the leaves are Magnolia Doohickey dies & I added some small leaves made with foamiran & Magnolia dies from Volume 11 to the larger tag. I used a peachy coloured foamiran & coloured them 3 colours with oil pastels.

Lace is from my stash.

Well thats it from me, please pop on over to both challenges & give my DT members some love, they are all so talented.

Thank you for stopping by.

Huge hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Cards

Hello there I'm here today with 2 cards featuring a Wild Rose Studio stamp from their latest release. They are both the same stamp, 1 has been coloured with Distress Inks & the other has been coloured with Copics.

I made this card 2 weeks ago & meant to show it to you last week but forgot lol.

Paper are Pion Design 'Songbird's Secret' & I've machine stitched all around them.

All the flowers except the small roses & the buds I've made from Foamiran. The centre flower I have coloured using Oil Pastels......I cant remember what colours, I know I used 3 lol.

The smaller ones down here are made using Ivory Foamiran & the inners are Yellow Foamiran.

The stamp is called 'Bunny With Teddy' & is perfect for soooo many occasions, here I've used Bunny for Friendship, he could be used for Get well. Sending Hugs, Easter....so so many.

This one I coloured with distress ink refills, I also added stardust stickles to the inner of the ears, nose & the white stripes on the jumper. 

I then fussy cut Bunny out, popped onto foam pads & stuck onto this postcard which is from Pion Design.

The sentiment is from Little Darlings sentiment stamp.

I've also added lace & a Joy Crafts die to the top & bottom of the postcard. The top left corner I've used the new Fantasy die & cut it out of the reverse of Memory Notes.

The smaller sentiment is a Magnolis stamp with a Little Darlings sentiment stamped onto it.

For this card I have also used Pion Design papers but these are from Scent Of Lavender. For the shape I've used a Dutch Doobadoo Card Art template.

I've added gorgeous lace with pearls along each side & then also cut a single flower & leaf from the Rosy Leaf lace. Sentiment is from Whimsy & I've used the co-ordinating die to cut it out.

I've agina used Bunny With Teddy but coloured this one with copics, added stardust stickles to inner ears, paper pieced the top & added pearl dots for the nose & around the image.

I then fussy cut it out & stuck her onto a piece of Pion paper cut out using Little Darlings Gilded Oval die.

This was coloured a week ago & I actually wrote the colours down....yay me lol.

W7, W5, W3, W1, W0 & Grey prisma pencils - Bunny

E39, E37, E35, E33, E31 - Teddy

I've matched this side up with the left side & again used a Whimsy sentiment.

The centre flower at the top I made from Foamiran & added a pearl to the centre.

On the inner panels I added Joy Crafts die-cuts, the bottom one is actually from the Joy Crafts Train die & I cut it from Pion paper. I also did the same to the bracket dies at the top & then cut a bit of pearl to add to the centre of the point.

Thats it from me why not pop along to Noor Design UK & look at the totally yummy stuff Tracy has recently added to the store, including new Fantasy dies....sooooo yummy ;-)

Thanks for stopping by, lotsa hugs
