Happy Anniversary

Hi

Its my turn on the blog today and its also my wedding anniversary so 

I decided to make a card to give to Hubby.

I love this stamp set from Whipper Snapper designs called Taodally in Love.

I've kept the card really simple and coloured the stamped image with Copic Markers.

The shape cut out for the shaker box was made using the memory box die Cupid Heart and 

fun foam.

Supplies used:

Whipper Snapper stamp : Toadally in love

Memory box Die: Cupid Heart

Avery Elle: Wonky Stitches 

Lawn Fawn Die: Everyday Sentiment Banners

Thanks for stopping by

Merry Christmas To EWE

Hi Lou here to wish a very merry Christmas :)

I hope you are having a lovely day with your families and for those of you in Oz and NZ, I hope your BBQs are hot and the weather warm.

When I saw this Baah Humbug Christmas stamp and dies set I knew they would be perfect for sending out this years Christmas Salutations.

I stamped the images with alcohol marker friendly ink then die cut with the corresponding dies.

Once they were cut I coloured them and glued them down.

The sheep is adhered with foam tape to add dimension.

I added the bakers twine and drew lines around the white mat to finish the card.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you are having a fabulous Christmas Day.

Holly with Reindeer

Hi all, 

Christmas is just around the corner.  Almost time to have all those 

Christmas cards made and ready to post.

There's something especially cute about Holly with Reindeer from 

Bizzy Bec's Christmas Collection of Digi Stamps. 

You may have noticed sometimes I like to create scenes.

The background Embosser is a  Cuttlebug - Snowflakes

PoppyStamps - Curbside Mailboxes

Cheery Lynn - Victorian Picket Fence

Impression Obsession - Snowflakes

CottageCutz Elites Die - Merry Christmas (resized a little)

Digi Stamp image was coloured with Copics and Gel Pens and fussy cut .

The white around Holly's outfit is done with Stampendous - Fuzzy Fun Flock

Have a great weekend.

Crafty Hugs, Carol

Layering dies - Memory Box Glowing Candles Die

Hi again everyone - Shaz here, with another tutorial!
This time on layering dies. You can find more details on my blog here.I bought this die  some time ago - Memory Box Glowing Candles (available Bec has it at a really great price over here!). Saw a great card with it - here,and this one has a video if you want to watch it!

Cut three different shades of cardstock, gold, red and green. Added double sided tape on the back of card first.

Remove the tape layers with pricking tool, remove the die pieces you want in other colours on the top - gold layer first, as shown.

Added red to candles centres and centre of the flame which is also red.

Removed the gold leaves, adding the green on top.

Cut the top two colours of red and gold stems off the edges. Under the layers, adhere the green so it shows green stems. Add red bling for holly berries.

Stamp is from Our Daily Bread "Joy to the world" stamp set (ODB stamps are available from Bizzy Bec's upon request). Gold embossed, added die cut centre from Spellbinder, inked lightly around edge in gold.
Spellbinder die, I bought from Bec, is cut in gold - 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy, a gorgeous die and great size.

Thanks so much everyone for popping over and saying hi, hope you enjoyed this card, as much as I did! Think might try another colour-way!!

May God bless your day,

Shaz in Oz.x

Make a Wish....

Hi everyone Karen here, I am  popping in today to share with you my latest card.

For this card I wanted an oceany feel to compliment my image.  I die cut a circle through the two top layers  using a die from Lawn Fawn - Large Stitched Circles, then die cut two circles with a Memory Box Die - Shaker Circles (not currently listed in store), these were then nestled inside the circle to create the illusion of a Porthole.  I then attached small pearls around the centre.

For my image I have used a stamp from My Besties called Steampunk Mermaid Dreams (not currently listed in store), which is so cute and have coloured her with Copic Markers.

I have inked part of the background which was stencilled  and then coloured with Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough and Salty Ocean (not currently listed in store).  I have also used Frantage Shabby Blue embossing enamel for some of the background stamping, together with Momento London Fog for other stamping.

The sentiment is a die from Penny Black and is called Celebrations.

Please if you see something you like and it is not currently listed in store, pop an email to Bec and if it is possible she can get it into store for you.

Thanks for looking, have a fabulous week.

Happy Crafting
