One for the Boys

Hi Everyone,

So sorry I have been a little quiet lately, but I am back today with a boy's card.

Now I would like to enter this in the Lili's Little Fairies Challenge of Anything goes and if you know me I normally would avoid a boys card at all costs lol. So this was my little challenge to myself.

I have had this super cute LOTV image for a while now and he hadn't seen any ink so I just had to give it a go!

It's not that I don't like boys, it's just that I find the girly card so much easier, but I'm very happy with the way this card turned out.

This little guy is called Astronaut and you can find him HERE along with all the other gorgeous LOTV stamps. The image coloured with copic markers and prisma pencils and  is cut out with SB labels three.

The DP is from Nitwits Spaced Out Collection, and the ribbon is from my stash. Can you see the little stars ? they are chipboard and I painted them and then while the paint was still wet I sprinkled some white hologram embossing powder over them and used my heat gun to melt it. They don't seem to look much in the photo , but irl they are really sparkly and pretty.

Here is the inside designed to match the front. All the sentiments and the little stars are from Gina K Designs stamp sets.

A Baby Girl

Hi Everyone,

Well it has rained here almost all weekend , sooooo what to do? craft of course hehehe. I received my order from LOTV this week and thought I would have a go at the challenge of Pink , White & Silver I have used Special Delivery from there latest release.

As soon as I saw this image I loved it, and the sentiment comes with it, I love it when that happens lol.  But then again I loved all the baby images in this release, and they are all on my wish list lol. The silver CS is like a brushed metal , very pretty irl, didn't show up so well in the photo though. The lace , pearls and DP are all from Kaisercraft , the DP is called Bundle of Joy , how appropriate!

The image is cut out with  my new die from Nellie Snellen Multi Frames and the Border is from Cheery Lynn Dies  which I purchased from Bizzy Bec's Online Store . The scalloped circle is from Spellbinders. 

The edges have been inked with Memento Angel Pink, and the little bib is from my stash.

I have done the inside to match the front , and just added "congratulations" .

Here is a close up of the cuteness ! I coloured the image with copic's only this time, to give it the softer baby look, I used R0000, R81, N2, C00, E50, E51 , E53.

I hope you have all had a great weekend, my Embellishment Candy is still on so enter HERE .

Little Ballerina

Hi Everyone,
Today I have made a card for my sister to give to her 5yr old grand daughter who loves ballet & butterflies, and this Lily of the Valley stamp is just perfect I thought.

She is called Little Ballerina isn’t she adorable, I coloured her using copic’s and added some hot pink kindy glitz for her head gear. I sponged around her with memento angel pink ink while still in the die, the very pretty papers are digital from nit wit collections called butterfly kisses too. LOTV has a challenge this week with the theme Fun & Games I think she certainly looks like she is having both. The die I used on the corners is nellie’s choice and the little ballerina charm both come from Bunny Zoe’s Crafts online store. The lace and pearl trim are from the Craft Queen and the rhinestones are from Kaisercraft, where would we be without those little extra’s.
Here’s a pic of the inside the cute lacy butterfly is also from the Craft Queen, the sentiment is my own creation.

And here’s a close up of the little sweetie, you can’t see her sparkles very well in the photo, but it looks great IRL, trust me lol.
Copic’s used – R81,83,85 RV0000 G20 YG 03 , E0000,000,00,50,42.
LOTV has a new release coming out on 25th July, and they have teamed up with WOC so there is big celebrations happening, so jump over and check out the fun & games!
Ok that’s it for me today, thanks for visiting, I would like to enter the following challenge
LOTV Challenge 106 – Fun & Games

Good Friends

Hi Everyone,
Today I have a card for you with a new stamp of mine, I placed an order with Lily of the Valley stamps and this one is Milly Me and my dog, I think it is cuteness overload!!! What do you think? A Spoon Full of Sugar wants to see Pink & Brown this week and I always love these colours together so I went to work and come up with this…..
I used copic’s & prisma pencils to colour the image, the DP is Kaisercraft Chanteuse Collection which was perfect for this colour combo. The Flowers are from WOC and the sentiment is from Gina K Designs. That pretty edge is a Magnolia doo hickey die and I went a little crazy with Kaisercraft pearls, I just love pearls so much I can’t help myself lol. The die with the sentiment is spellbinders fancy labels, and the ribbon is from my stash.


For the inside I made a little pocket for maybe cash or a gift card, I think gift cards are great then the person can buy what they need. I left plenty of room to write a personal message.
Allsorts Challenge Blog are still having there Free & Easy July Challenges so I thought I would enter this card.
I hope you are all having a great Monday and enjoy the rest of the week. Sorry that I havn’t got the colours I used for this one, I must have got side tracked I think and forgot to write them down.
