Baby Shower Card

I have another card to share today using the gorgeous dies from Doohickey Volume 25, Bella Notte.  I love this set so much!

How cute are these little clouds?  I have combined them with the moon and hanging star that I used on my last card.  Again I have cut the hanging star in glitter cardstock and patterned paper so that I could create a two colour die cut.  The white panel is also cut with a Magnolia die, the largest die from the Vintage Frames and Tags die set.

I have embossed the Baby Shower sentiment, from the You Are Invited Collection, with silver embossing powder.  The pink paper is from Maja Designs Vintage Summer Basics paper collection.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Halloween

 Good morning!  Today I am back with another card for Craft Heaven for our Halloween theme.  As I don't have any of the new Halloween stamps I wanted to find a Halloween use for another stamp.

This Masquerade Tilda, I decided, is perfect for the job.  I've seen lots of Halloween themed masks like that when I've been out shopping.  The backing paper is from Maja Design's Celebration collection.  I used masks of letters to ink around to create the ghostly looking Boo! sentiment.

I've used the pumpkin Doohickeys from Volume 6 along with a swirling vine from the same collection.

The cobweb diecut is also from Volume 6 and I've added a spider charm from my stash along with lots of cheesecloth to add to the cobweb look.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Anniversary Card

Good evening!  I have a wedding anniversary card to share with you today for Craft Heaven using the stunning Mrs & Mr Magnolia from Magnolia's You Are Invited collection.  I have used papers from the gorgeous Denim & Girls paper collection.

I have painted the image with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added some subtle sparkle to Tilda's veil using a Wink of Stella pen.  I have also added Startdust Stickles to her crown.  The gorgeous chipboard circle is by Scrapiniec.

The seam binding and heart key are from Craft Heaven and I have used the Heart Background Doohickey either side of the image.

The flowers were made using the Orchid Doohickey die and the centres have been inked with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - You Are Invited

Good afternoon!  This week on the Craft Heaven blog we're showcasing stamps from the You Are Invited collection and Celebration papers from Maja Design.

I have used the Happy New Year text stamp.  I have stamped it onto vellum and embossed it with a mixture of copper and gold embossing powders.

I have also used the Big Clock stamp and dies from the Tilda in Wonderland collection and embossed the hands in the same way.

 I have used the Invitation die from the You Are Invited Collection for the base of the card.  As it wasn't quite wide enough to support the clock image I have cut it out twice and glued it together.  The leaf from the invitation set has also been embossed.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Mr & Mrs Magnolia

Good morning!  It is time for our reminder post over on the All About Magnolia Challenge Blog and our theme this month is 'Shaped Cards'.  I love making cards using the heart Doohickey frame from Magnolia's Vintage Box 5.  It was perfect for making my parents a special anniversary card for their 50th wedding annivesary.

I painted the stunning Mr & Mrs Magnolia stamp from the You Are Invited Collection with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.

I was so pleased with how the painting turned out that I didn't want to detract from it with too many embellishments, so opted for a few sequins and the golden, glittery number 50 cut with a Tim Holtz die.

The bow was also cut with the Tim Holtz Bow-Tied die.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at All About Magnolia Challenge this month.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations.  Thanks for looking! x

Craft Heaven DT - Spooky!

Good evening!  Our theme on the Craft Heaven Blog this week is Halloween/Spooky projects.  I have created a sugar skull shaped card and painted Wonderful Tilda from the You Are Invited collection with her face painted for Dia de Muertos.

I painted Tilda with Distress Inks as always, using the no lines technique.  I used Distress Inks and a fine black pen to create Tilda's face make-up, a white gel pen for the highlights in the flowers and eyes and a silver gel pen for the flower details on her dress.

 I used Doohickey dies to create the details on the sugar skull.  The heart nose is an off-cut heart from the heart tag from Volume 9 and a leaf Doohickey from Volume 9 to create the swirls near the nose and mouth.

The swirls on the forehead are actually the balloon string from the balloons Doohickey in Volume 5 and the heart is also from the heart tag.  The flowers around the eyes were cut with a flower Doohickey from Volume 6.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Pop over to the blog for more spooky ideas from the rest of the team.

1st Birthday Card

Good morning!  I am back with another card for a little cutie's first birthday using lots of Doohickey dies and Magnolia stamps.  When I received my Doohickey 19 kit I was particularly inspired by the gorgeous accordian card by Jiwon.  I have never made one of these so thought I would have a go.  It was surprisingly simple to do!

All of the papers are by Maja Design from the Denim and Friends Collection.  I have used Adorable Edwin from the You Are Invited Collection and the Sweet Moon from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  I have painted both with Distress Inks before cutting them out to mount onto the centre panel of the accordian card.

I have used lots of Doohickey dies from the Volume 13 kit, Sweet Pea.  They are all perfect for baby cards.

When you open up the card it looks like this!  I love how it opens up so unexpectedly - expect to see more of these from me from now on!

The front panel swings into the middle of the card as you can see.

On the back panel, which also swings into the middle of the card, I have used the stars and cloud Doohickeys from Volume 13.

I have also used the sweet little elephant, tag and nappy pin...

...and the cuter than cute whale!  The one is from my stash.

 Here is what the back panel looks like when the card is closed.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Tilda Throws Away Hearts

 Good morning!  Today I'd like to share my card for the Craft Heaven blog using papers from Maja Design and the sweet Tilda Throws Away Hearts from Magnolia.  The card shape was cut with a Doohickey frame die from Vintage Box 5.

 I painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique as always.  I've added some lace details to her dress using a white gel pen.

 The sentiment is from the Stempelglede Just a Note stamp set.  The butterflies were cut with a Martha Stewart punch and the rose and the flowers were cut with Doohickey dies.

I also added some lace and a chipboard piece from Craft Heaven along with some button twine and a white and pink rose.  The flowers were made from ecru foamiran and pink stamens. 

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at Craft Heaven for this month's challenge.  Pop over to the blog for more inspiration.

You are Invited!

 
Good morning!  For today's Craft Heaven post I have an afternoon tea invitation that I made for my Mum for Mother's Day.  I have used papers from Maja Design's Denim & Friends collection.

 I used the cake stand and doily Doohickey dies along with the cakes from the oven Doohickey die set.

I had fun making the tiny cakes and biscuits look more realistic with sprinkles and icing using a white gel pen and chocolate drops using a Walnut Stain Distress Ink Marker.

 The sentiment is from the You are Invited collection and the gorgeous heart lace is from Craft Heaven.

 I added a little tear in the paper with some cheesecloth and a pale blue rose.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
