Many Thanks

Hello there, hope you are all well? Today I have a card made using three stamp sets from Clearly Besotted Stamps - Leafy Accents, Butterfly Wishes Additions and Once Upon A Time which are now all back in stock :0)

For my card today I have made a video showing how I made it. I have had requests to do these kind of videos so thought I would give it a go. I apologise for the black borders around the video - quite annoyingly I edited it in the wrong format (I have noticed a few of my other videos have that too) but for me to re-upload I would have to edit my whole video again and it would take too long. So for now I have the borders but hopefully they will be gone on the next one!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hope you liked the video, is it something you would like to see again?

Hello - DTDF

Hello there, today I have two notecards to share that I have made for the DTDF Blog. I have used the beautiful new Memory Box stamps now available in the DTDF shop - Meadow Flowers and Luminous Poppies and inked them with Memento Inks. They have been simply stamped to make one layer cards. The way the stamps are made lends themselves to more of a water coloured finish, not a perfect impression. Not my usual style but I think they are very pretty. The sentiment is stamped at the bottom from the MFT On The Line Stamp Set.

Thank you for visiting me today. I spent the day yesterday filming and editing a new video. I have had a lot of requests to make some card making tutorials/videos and yesterday I finally made one! It should be up tomorrow.

Fabulous Day & CBS New Release

Hello there, hope you are all well. Today I have a card to share that uses the new Clearly Besotted Stamps Just Fabulous stamp set. I have used the outline image and coloured with Copic Markers adding a little Spica to their centres. The sentiment is from the same set and has been cut using a MFT Fishtail Flags Stax die - LOVE these!

SUPPLIES:

I also have a video here showing you all the new products released this month from Clearly Besotted Stamps. Hope you enjoy ...

 

Thanks so much for visiting me today, it's warm and sunny here in Surrey. Hope it is nice where you are!

Blooming Lovely

Hello there, happy Monday to you all! I have wanted to take part in Jen's CAS Mondays with LOTV for a little while now as I love LOTV stamps but don't use them enough and as you know, my style is pretty CAS. So today is the day! I have used the very cute Blooming Lovely stamp for my card and coloured with the usual Copic Markers.

SUPPLIES:

To those in the UK I hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday weekend. To those outside of the UK I hope you all have a lovey week! Thank you for visiting me today.
 

Oh and if you say my post on my supplies links - they should all be fixed now hopefully. So if you use them and see one that doesn't work, please can you let me know.

New Home

Hello there, a friend of mine recently moved house so I wanted to make her a little card to wish her well. I have used the PTI house from the Love Lives Here die collection and added little clouds behind to make kind of a scene. I have wanted to use those clouds since I bought them over a year ago! :0)

Thank you so much for visiting me today, I hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Beautiful Butterfly

Hello there, unfortunately I haven't played along with Less Is More for a little time now. I often miss challenges because I make the card and then link it after the challenge date but for this current challenge, a fab sketch by Jen, I just had to play and on time too! I have used Clearly Besotted Stamps for the card which is LIM's sponsor this month - I love it when things come together like that! I have used Leafy Accents for the background and added a little butterfly from the Butterfly Wishes Additions set cut out using the coordinating die. The sentiment is from the Once Upon A Time set.

Thanks you so much for visiting me today, have a great day!

Birthday Balloon - DTDF

Hello there, today I am sharing with you the card I have made for the DTDF Blog. For my card I have first taken the PTI Stamper Select CS and made an aperture in it using one of the hexagon dies from the MFT Die-Namics Hexagon Stax set. I have then popped the Echo Park Dots & Stripes Homefront paper behind and added this panel to  the card base with 3D foam pads. I have taken a CC Balloon Cutter and cut this using Bazzill Kraft CS and added inside the aperture with more 3D foam. I have drawn a string from it with a black Copic multi-liner pen. I have also added a little Glossy Accents to the top for a little highlight. The sentiment (a retired Cornish Heritage Farms one) has been stamped and cut out using an MFT Die-Namics Sentiment trip die.

SUPPLIES:
 

+ Cornish Heritage Farms sentiment stamp - retired

Thanks you so much for visiting me today. I am off out to lunch to see a friend I haven't seen for a long time today and really looking forward to it. Hope you have a lovely day whatever you are up to!

Anniversary Wishes

Hi there, here is a card I have made using the gorgeous Clearly Besotted Stamps Love Hearts stamp set (back in stock very soon) and coordinating dies. I could not resist that polka dotted heart! This layout is one I have used a lot in the past but I think it is nice for cards with just a small element being used, in this case the hearts.

SUPPLIES:

+ button from old stash

Thank you so much for visiting me today. Hope you are all well. Have a lovely day!

Card Making Haul - April 2013

Here is my card making haul for the month of April. I made a large order of Hero Arts Shadow Inks again. I love these inks - they give a nice even colour and are great with stamps that need a block of colour. I also bought the new Doodlebug cardstock ... any thoughts on it? I am not sure about it at the moment. I also made a couple of ebay purchases of some older Doodlebug items ... couldn't resist!Anyway here is the video:

 

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

+ Doodlebug CS which you can find here

 

This is my second post of the day (I know, shock horror!), my latest CBS card is below along with info on the new release. Have a lovely evening!

Buzzin' By

Hello there, not very good scheduling on my part but I have another bee card to share with you today. I saw this cute card by Debra Currier on Pinterest and it inspired me to make this card using the Clearly Besotted Stamps Build A Bug set. The greeting has been made on my PC using the Leftovers font. Oh and just have to say I am in LOVE with that dotty paper by Doodlebug!

SUPPLIES:

Thanks so much for visiting me today. The CBS sneak peaks start tomorrow for the new May release. Make sure you head over to Stephanie's blog tomorrow to see them! Hope you have a lovely day!

Happy Bee Day!

Hello there, I usually make cards for a certain occasion i.e. family Birthday or for DT work but I don't often get to just make a card because I wanted to. Well here is a card just because. I used the very cute SSS Circle Friends set, kept it very simple adding a little Spica to the bee's wings.

Thanks you so much for visiting me today, hope you have a lovely day!

Product Links

Hi there, I just wanted to put a little quick note up to say that I apologise quite a few of my products links do not work. When websites revamp themselves their old links to products no longer exist. This means that a lot of the older links to two of the shops that I shop in a lot - Papertrey Ink and The Glitter Pot no longer work. I do apologise and I am trying to go through my links on InLinkz to change them. The major benefit of InLinkz is that it will automatically change it on my blog but if there are products that I can no longer find, they will disappear off the supplies list, sorry.

 

This may take a while though as I have a LOT of products to change! Please bear with me. Thanks!
