Craft Heaven DT - A Boo From Me to You

Good morning!  I have another Halloween card to show you today, this time featuring the Trick or Treat stamp set from Magnolia.  The papers are from Maja Design. 

I masked the moon and stars stamp with Tilda and painted them with Distress Inks using the no lines technique before adding Stardust Stickles to the moon and stars.

The pumpkin stamp is also in the set and I have painted that with Distress Inks too.  The sentiments are from this set and the You Are My Pumpkin set and have been embossed with white embossing powder from Nuvo.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.

The cobwebs were cut from coffee filter paper using a Doohickey die from Volume 6 and the leaves are from my stash.

The cute toadstools were cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 9.

I hope you like it and have fun with your Halloween activities tomorrow!

You Are My Pumpkin

 

Good evening!  I have a Halloween card to show you today using the cute You Are My Pumpkin stamp set from Magnolia.  The background paper is from the Celebrations Collection by Maja Design.

I have masked the truck and Tilda together and painted them with Distress Inks before adding Stardust Stickles to the mirror and tail light of the truck.

I have used the toadstool Doohickey dies from Doohickey Volume 9 and added Stickles to them too.

I have embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder onto paper from the Celebration Collection by Maja Design.  The cute pig is also from the stamp set and painted with Distress Inks.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.  I have used paper from Maja's Little Street Cafe Collection for the purple liquid.

The 'here's a boo from me to you' and 'trick or treat' sentiments are from the Trick or Treat stamp set by Magnolia.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Exploding Box Card

 

Good morning!  I have an exploding box card to show you today using the gorgeous Maja Design Summertime papers.  I have used a Magnolia butterfly Doohickey die for the butterflies on each side of the box.

I have decorated the top with leaves cut with the Rose Leaf Doohickey, seam binding and flowers from Craft Heaven and a cute moped charm.

Inside Tilda is zipping through the streets of London on her moped!  I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks.  I have used the Magnolia Phone Box Doohickey die to create the iconic red telephone box.

I have stamped the taxi stamp from the Let's Go Collection onto one of the Summertime papers and behind the taxi the buildings were created with the Edwin's Town Magnolia stamp.  The signpost is a Scrapiniec piece and the bicycle was cut out of one of the Summertime papers.

I have used a Magnolia pennant flags Doohickey die to cut out the tiny flags and the clouds were cut with one of the dies from the Bella Notte Doohickey dies.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Brother Birthday Card

Good afternoon!  Today I have one of those tricky to make male birthday cards to show you.  I love Maja Design's Denim & Friends Collection for male cards.

I used one of the photo cut outs and mounted it onto the reverse side of the paper and used leaves from Lawerowe's Peony Leaves set.  Chipboard pieces are great for adding a bit of interest to male cards without using flowers.  Behind the image I have also added a strip of cream cardstock cut with the Grated Edge Doohickey die.

 I also love the decorative strips that Maja Design include on all of their papers.  I've used one here to add further interest and another chipboard piece.  The 'Brother' sentiment was cut with a die from my stash.

I made a little envelope to contain a money gift and used the Rich Rach Doohickey die to create a tear strip for it - love doing this!  I inked the edges of everything with Walnut Stain Distress ink.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lockdown Birthday Card

 

Good morning!  Today's creation is the card I made for my Mum's birthday recently, featuring the Tilda from the special Support the Artist stamps.  My mum was very amused that there is actually a stamp with a face mask on now.  I have used Maja Design's Denim & Girls paper collection - I love these papers!

As always I painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have used a white gel pen for the dots on her eyes and cheeks and also for the straps of her face mask.

I have used lots of Doohickey dies on this card.  The cake was cut with the middle cake from the three tier set and I cut the stand from the bottom of the cake stand to make it into a plate instead.  The banners were cut with a die from Doohickey volume 14.  I have also used the Sakura Background die behind the image.

The tree branch and lanterns were cut from the Sakura Lanterns Doohickeys and I have added some tiny pink roses from Craft Heaven.   As a finishing touch I have added white gesso here and there to the card.

 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - You Made It!

Good morning!  Today I have a card to share that I have made in advance for when my son receives his exam results.  It is always such a tense time waiting but particularly this year as the exams were cancelled and we are left waiting on the best teacher assessments possible.   Fingers crossed!  I have used paper from Maja Design's Denim & Friends.  This one was perfect with the maths workings on it!

The gorgeous image is Special 17 Student Edwin With Serpentines by Magnolia.  The placard is actually plain and I have hand written "Class of 2020" on it with a Distress Ink Marker.  I was so excited to receive the new Distress Ink colour, Speckled Egg, this week and have used it on Edwin's bowtie and the ribbon to his right.

The sentiment is another one from the You Made It kit, stamped onto a Tilda's Ticket die cut which I have torn in half and used either side of the image - like he's torn open his exam results envelope lol.  I have also added a pen nib from Tim Holtz - I love these - this one says Memoirs on it.

On the other half of the ticket I have used the postmark from the With Love From Paris stamp kit.  The gorgeous wooden "Follow your dreams" text is from Laswerowe.

I have used a heart doily behind the image and the "Son" lettering was cut with a set from my stash.

The star strips and You Made It! strips are cut from the bottom of Maja Design papers and the tags were cut with the Tilda Tag Doohickey from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Happy Father's Day

Good evening!  I have a pop up box card to show you today that I made for Father's Day.  I have used papers from Maja Design's Vintage Summer and Little Street Cafe Collections.

The stitched circles were cut with Crealies dies and the Dad sentiment is a die from my stash.  The edges of all the pieces were inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink using a blending tool.

I have used the banner from Magnolia Doohickey Volume 9 and the flags and flagpoles from the Flags Doohickey die.  The stars were cut with a Sizzix die.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!
