Tip Toe Fairy

Tip Toe Fairy coloured with watercolour pencils.

After colouring the fairy I cut the topper using a Spellbinders die.   I used another Spellbinders die to cut a mat in some purple card.   I layered the topper onto some flowered paper then some dark purple card and finally a white card blank.  I used a Lili of the Valley circular sentiment and some Marrianne flourish die cuts to finish the card.

Winter fairy

Another lovely stamp from Wee Stamps called Winter Fairy.

I coloured her in with Spectrum-noir markers and cut her out using one of the Spellbinders label dies.  I layered it onto another Spellbinders die cut to make the topper.  I glued some snowflake paper onto a card blank and added the topper.  I also cut out two snowflake borders and bent them around the topper.  A die cut sentiment finishes the card.

Dandelion girl

I love the Wee stamps by Silvia Zet.  Dandelion girl is one of my favourite ones and she reminds me of my granddaughter Hailey,  she loves watering the flowers in the garden.

I coloured her with Copic pens but I put away the pens before I made a note of the ones used.  I cut her out and glued her to a die cut mat, I also cut out the dandelion seeds and added them.  I glued the die cut mat onto some floral card and then to a white card blank I had made using a Crafters Companion Happy Birthday die.  I made some paper flowers to finish the card.

A card for Dad using a digital image.  I find I am using digital images more often these days.

A cute image from a Crafters Companion CD.  I coloured the image with Copic pens.  I came across the Dad stamp in the range last week, it is from the Docrafts Papermania range.  I can see me using it a lot.  Spellbinders Labels two die was used to cut out the image and the card to mount the image.  Card from the Camden Town range was used for the backing card and I also stamped the Dad word on a scrap piece from the Camden Town range.

Winter Fairy

Another one of the lovely Wee stamps, this one is calle Mountain Lily.  I wanted her to go on a winter card so used blues.  The main card is an 8 x 8 and I used Broken China Distress ink around the edge to match with the fairy.  I embossed some white Centura Pearl in a Crafters Companion Embossalicious folder.  The Mountain Lily fairy and the square behind her were cut out using Spellbinders Adorning Squares set.  I have not added a sentiment, maybe later when I send her to someone but probably not as I like her as she is.

My first challenge card for a long, long time.  I have missed entering all the challenges.

I used  Dandelion Girl from Wee stamps, she is coloured with Copic pens and Spectrum Noir pencils.  The Butterfly and stamens of the flowers were also coloured with the Copic pens to match the girls dress.  The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

I know the flowers I have added are not dandelions but I like them and she is a cute stamp.

Terrible weather

What terrible weather, deffinately not the weather to have a holiday.

Back to crafting.  I have not made a card for a couple of weeks but I will be back to normal soon.  I have a few to show you using my new dies and some toppers I have had for a few years.  Why I bought so many I don't know as I have hardly used any but they cannot stay unused.  

The topper is a Kanban one from a few years ago and she is matted onto the Spellbinders Lacey Squares die and the Poinsettia is also a Spellbinders set of dies.  I think the Poinsettia one is going to be well used this year.  The backing card is also from Kanban.

Another Kanban topper put behind a window die from Cottage Cutz.  The sentiment is also from Kanban and put ontop of a Spellbinders die and the flourish's are cut from a Marianne die.  I printed the card used to make the base last year and I think it was from a Crafter's Companion CD.

I have LOADS more toppers and I am determined to use them this year, well maybe not all of them but I will use a good number of them.  They make good quick cards especially with the dies I have.

Garden of Wishes Fairy

Bingo on the The Stamping Boutique blog this week.

I have chosen the top line Flowers, Bling, Image and Sentiment.  My bling is glitter on her wings.

The fairy is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Copic's.  I think the backing paper is from one of the Crafter's Companion CD's not sure which one as I have loads that I printed of over the years and I am trying hard to use them all up before I print more.

Cute Card Thursday  Here Comes Summer

Raise the Bar   There challenge is Summer


The sun was shining in my garden today although you would not know it was Summer, the wind was blowing a gale and it was cold.  I did have a visitor today, it's not often I see butterflies these days but one came in today, I think he was sheltering from the wind and he stayed still long enough for me to get my camera and take a photo.

Color Me Copic  and  Crafty Creations Challenge

both have the same theme Babies

I have used a Popcorn the bear stamp coloured with ProMarkers and the sky was created using a blue ink pad.  Not sure where I got the flowers from I think they are Kanban.  I have also used Spellbinder dies, a cuttlebug folder and a leaf punch.  The flowers have a gem in the centre to finish them off and a heart shaped gem for the pram.

Been playing with my new Copic's and loving them.  Just going to finsh colouring a Sarah Kay image so maybe using it for my next card.

Hello Mr. Frog

One for the boys challenge on Delightful Challenges 

When you look at the challenge blog make sure you pop into their shop, there is so much there.  I am new digi stamps and only have a few at the moment but I will be buying some from there, so many to choose from.  Not only do they not take up crafty space but you can re-size them to fit your project.  I really must get more of them.

My card today is not made from a digi stamp but one from Artstamps, it was one of the first stamps I brought and I have used it many times.  The branch stamp is separate and is from Carolines.

It is coloured with ProMarkers and made into an easel card.

Punch Drunk

Cute Card Thursday  blog has 'punch drunk' as the challenge this week.
You can either use punches or drink (punch) inspired card.
I have used some daisy punches and a stamen punch on this card with a cute stamp from Sheena's A little bit sketchy range.

The main card is cut using a Spellbinders Grand labels One die and I have coloured the little girl with ProMarkers and I think the backing paper is from one of Joanna Sheen's Cd's.  I have loads of paper that I have printed from Cd's that I am trying to use them up before I print more.  I also used some cloud backing paper that I had printed to make the daisies and used some pearlescent card the same as the base card for the stamens and mat for the stamped image.  A Lili of the Valley sentiment stamp finishes the card.
