JOY

Well here we are again 

so glad these Tuesday's come round quickly 

another one very different for me

I used for this card

Honeycombe template

Dylusions Ink  Spray

BEAUtanicals Ferns

WORDage Joy Lg

Distress Inks

First I made my background with the Dylusion ink sprays 

I then lay the template over the background and used the distress inks over that

I then stamped the fern round the edge of the background

I then added the ribbon

I stamped the sentiment onto white card and used a die cut to cut it out

I added this to the background 

as well as the flower which is also a die cut

I then mounted it all onto a green card then mounted onto 

  6x6 main card

I would watch this space because I think this would be great as in

Christmas colors 

so pop along to

and have a look

see you next week 

We are off to see the Wizard !

Good Morning Everyone, 

Kelly here again today, these Mondays do come around so quick. 

Today's card is a little different for me, I don't normally like steam punk or anything to do with it, and this card some probably wouldn't class it as steampunk, but for me it is as close as it is going to get. 

Firstly I used Wizard of Oz Tinman, I stamped him in a well used black momento ink pad, so that it wasn't grey but wasn't tuxedo black either. I think he come out pretty well. Originally I was going to colour him in using greys and shading, but when he stamped out, the detail that was on him, I decided to show it all off and leave him "plain" I stamped him on 300gsm stamping card, matted it to silver mirror card and then to a thin layer of black card. I added faux stitching with a 0.1 fine liner black pen.

 To create my card I used a black A4 card stock folded in half, and added a backing paper of grey cogs. I used my Cameo machine to cut the cogs out, and then coloured them in using Warm Greys from my promarker collection. I then ran it through my embossing folder.  I certainly think you could get the same result with any cog die, or stamp.

I finished it with adding a sentiment from the Wordage collection, and matted this onto black card and again faux stitched around the edge.

Thank you for taking the time to have a read, I hope you have enjoyed. Don't forget to pop back each day to see more creations from each member of the design team. Up tomorrow is Sue. 

See you next Monday

If you're not under my tree...

...on Christmas Morning I'm going back to bed!!!

Hi Everyone

Hope you've all had a good week.

Who has started their Christmas cards yet?  Someone told me the other day they have finished theirs!!! Madness but perhaps I am just jealous not to be so organised?

So for this weeks blog post I have used two stamps from the Yuletide range and another from the Backdrops.

I took some Mint and Chocolate coloured cardstock adn stampeed the Bark Positive Backdrops on there in Walnute Stain Distress Ink.  Then inked the edges with the same using my Blending Foam.  I chopped this up into 3 pieces and layered it up onto the dark chocolate coloured card with just a small enough edge for it to make a lovely contrast. 

Doing the same with the  Fir Tree made a lovely way to top the card I stamped this in a slightly darker shade - Vintage Photo.

I had some spare cardstock so made the long Rosette Tail finish to place under the layered up Fir Tree.  Stamped out the Under My Tree (small) in the same colour and layered it too - and put it all together.  

I really like the simple effect of this one hope you do too.

Take Care

Marleen DT - Glad Lg

Morning everyone.. 

Its once again wednesday and my turn to share a bit of inspiration here on the blog.

This week, like last week, I have used the stamp called "Glad Lg". You can fin it in the STORE..
Last week I made a a srappage using the stamp so this week I thought I share a little card I made.

I dont own many big sentiment stamps, most of the ones I have are the little greeting ones so it was really nice to be able to make my sentiment the center point. 

Here is what I have made:

 For this card I took a card blank and covered with pink glitter card, leaving a little border of the card blank showing. I then cut a second piece of white card, to fit inside the pink layer. Before attaching that piece I ran it through my big shot in an embossing folder.

I stamped my sentiment stamp and cut it out using the die. The die is a Marianne die and cuts the middle circle out (with my stamp on it) and leaves you with the flower circle. Before I took the cut pieces out of the die, I gently added a bit of distress ink through the die to add to the flowers as well as the edges of the circle sentimen.

I layered them both on my card, the sentiment flat on the card, and the flower circle added on foam pads.

 My little flower in the corrner is really 2 pink flowers I just added together. They really are pink, as are the distress ink, but for some reason the pictures shows up more of a peacy colour.

I finished the card with a few diecut leaves and beads.

And that is is from me for today. I hope you like what I have made.

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments left behind

then added the spare card on top matching up the circle

and went over the circle area with red ,orange and yellow 

Distress Inks

Rose Garden Abi

Good Morning Everyone, 

Kelly again today. 

Today's card is a card I have made using the "Rose Garden Abi" stamp. 

 I stamped her in memento ink and coloured her with Promarkers.

 I matted an layered her on to dark purple card, which I used a white gel pen on and used fake stitching around the image.

The completed card is a 6x6 card blank, matted with a light purple layer, and matted again with a dark purple layer, I embossed the top layer and added a light purple strip. I used a die cut of a garden fence and put this behind the image. 

I added a little flower to the corner, three pieces of card candi. 

The sentiment "Flower Power" is also included with the stamp, this has been stamped and embossed using a silver embossing powder. 

The items I used are:-

Rose Garden Abi

Promarkers

Maidenhair ...

...fern of course!

Morning you beautiful lot how are you???

Its been a funny old week since I saw you last, lots going on....lots of rain too - bleugh!!!

Anyway more importantly how about this for something different - Altered Dictionary. Are you a liker on our Facebook page? If so you will have already seen this but if not have a look as we are doing some open sessions on this topic starting in June.

So this is it before I did anything..

So this is the Maidenhair Fern stamp from the BEAUtanicals range.  I realised afterwards that I used this particular range last week but it is totally fabulous so why not!

I used blues and greens in distress ink to lay a background and used a £2 coin as my Moon as I couldn't quite lay my hands on my circle punch.

I sporadically placed the stamp all around the page in no particular order but enough for it to make sense to me.  The word in the dictionary is highlighted with the Wink of Stella pens

, the Green and Black over each other to get the colour I wanted and I am pleased with it.  For no particular reason at all I used the black to give some of the ferns what can only be described as eyelashes but I am really pleased with how this looks.  

Hope you like it too

Marleen DT - "Glad Lg"

Hi guys..

Once again wednesday and its my turn to share a bit of inspiration..

For this week I have chosen to play with the "Glad Lg" stamp.

I have made a 12x12 scrappage this week as scrapbooking is a real passion of mine.
I dont scrap half as often as I would like too, but its something that, when I do, I really enjoy. I find it the most relaxing of all my crafting.

The papers Ive used are some I had in my stash.
My stamp is the "Glad Lg" and can be found in the STORE

Here is what I have made

With this, apart from loving scrapbooking, I wanted to show, that a sentiment stamp can be used for more then just a card. The words on this stamp just fitted perfect for this picture of me and my oldest daughter Emma. 

And that is it from me for today. Ill be back next week with a card also using the "Glad Lg" stamp.

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments left behind.

Fern Today

Good Morning Everyone, 

Kelly again today. 

Today I have a card I have made for you, using one of the Beautanicals stamps called Fern. 

This stamp you get two lovely ferns. 

I decided to create my own background using two different coloured inks and using both the ferns to make it. 

This was a simple white piece of card that I stamped randomly over with the different ferns and the different colours.

I took the larger fern stamp and stamped it with a clear ink pad, and embossed it using green embossing powder.

I did this three times, matted and layered each square with green and white card, then mounted the three on to a larger section of green card. I placed this across the middle of the card.

To finish the card I used one of the sentiments from the Sentiment and Phrases set from the Wordage collection. I used a die cut to create the frame, and finished with card candi.

The items I used are:-

Beautanicals Polymer Stamps - Fern

Green Card

White Card

Green Embossing Powder

Card Candi

Thanks for looking Sue will be back tomorrow with another lovely creations.

Hugs 

Kelly
