Saturated Canary - Breeze on Sale!

Hellooooo! Hope everyone is having a happy Saturday, I love Saturdays, there's still plenty of the weekend left and this one is even better because I have a few days off work next week so I don't have to go back in until Thursday, so I have  the added bonus of a nice short week afterwards lol.

Anyhoooo, on to the reason I'm here today. It's my turn to host over at the LDRS Creative blog and I'm very sad to say that it's my last post for them. I have loved my time with them, but sadly I just have too much going on lately that's eating up my free time (of which there is an ever decreasing amount), as I mentioned in a previous post. So this is my final inspiration today, using one of my most favourite ever stamps, Breeze by Saturated Canary. This stamp,. along with many others is currently on sale in the shop and you can pick it up for the low low price of $2.99! I'd pick up a few while you're there because that price is mega cheap and once they're gone they're gone.


I coloured her to match these wonderful papers from the Maja Design Coffee in the Arbour collection. Just love these, it isn't often that I use yellow, but paired with pink like this it's lovely. Another thing I don't do too often is black hair, but I really wanted to see what she looked like with black hair and sun kissed skin.


I decided to make one of my shaped easel cards and to be honest I made her this way to film a video tutorial because a few people have asked for a tutorial on making these. Well in the middle of making the tutorial my iPhone just decided to stop filming and I didn't notice until I'd already glued a vital part together...there was no going back, so no tutorial this time. Oh well I will have to do another later.


I added some beautiful ribbon girl products to my card and all my items (apart from those from my stash), are linked at the end of my post.

Saturated Canary - Amber in the Arbour

Hello everyone!
Today I'm using one of my favourite Saturated Canary Stamps from  LDRS Creative.
This beautiful girl is Amber, from the Sweet N Sassy range. Doesn't she just have the sweetest expression?


I coloured her with my distress ink markers to match these pretty Maja Design papers from the Coffee in the Arbor collection, and gave her light golden brown hair.


I fussy cut the image and added back some of the butterflies I lost with this memory box die.


Love how this seam binding matches my papers.


and just to prove that even us DT girls aint perfect, I've just noticed that one of the large pearl embellishments I used had slipped while drying and is now wonky! Ooops. Oh well, we'll say it adds to the charm and leave it at that ;) 
That's all from me today, have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you here again on Sunday :) xx

Lisbeth - Winter Warmth

Hi everyone, I'm sharing a little make today using Lisbeth - Winter Warmth, from the new LDRS Creative release.

I thought I'd do a little b & w colouring, but for a bit of interest I added just a touch of blue to her cheeks, hairband, scarf and boots, to pick up the colour of the papers I used for my card. You can find links for the products below.


I used these lovely digital papers from Michelle Roo, I thought they were so perfect for this image!
I fussy cut my image and sat her on this double layered snowflake doily cut with a Whimsy die.


I added some lovely wintery embellishments.


I thought this sparkly bow went really well with the icy theme.


That's all from me today, but I'll be back soon! :) xx

Saturated Canary - Some Bunny Loves You

Hello everyone! Well It finally happened, I gave in and joined the latest craze.

Shaker cards, they're everywhere right? So I grabbed this little fellow Somebunny Loves You from the Saturated Canary - It's a Spring Thing collection and inked him up. I have to say he really was super fast and easy to colour.

A die cut a fuse pocket and tool and some sequins later and I had the base elements for my shaker card. Add some design paper, some cardstock and a few simple embellishments and voila, one card, shaken not stirred.
I've linked the products used at the end of my post.

Hope you like it! :) xx

Can I Ski Too?

Hello everyone. I'm happily crafting away at home, because today is a Bank holiday in the UK, so no work until tomorrow yay!

Well it finally happened, don't faint but I made my first Christmas card of the year, I know.....just a LITTLE later than I'd planned back at the beginning of 2015 lol.

Anyway this little image is just so cute I couldn't resist. This is I can ski too from the Candibean collection at Little Darlings Rubber stamps. She's coloured with distress ink markers and paired with some of the Vintage Frost Basics papers from Maja Design. I've put links to the products I've used at the end of my post.




All my edges are inked with Walnut Stain distress ink, and I've used lashings of Gesso too.

Well that's all from me today, enjoy your Monday! :) xx

Gothica Notebook

Oh my, I nearly missed my post for Little Darlings Rubber Stamps DT inspirations. I had scribbled all my dates down and I thought I'd put the 28th and it was the 26th, so I totally had to rush out something quick this morning, the glue isn't quite dry on this make lol!

So being short on time I used some great products to make a quick fun project.

I'd picked up a small cheap notebook (I think it cost me around £1.50 at most, it may have been less) in a supermarket stationery section, with a view to decorating it, so I grabbed that, the lovely Gothica stamp from the Saturated Canary Girl Power range by LDRS, some of my favourite Fika papers from Maja Design and some LDRS and C.C Designs dies.

This is what I made.

Gothica is coloured with my Distress Ink markers and I've inked all my edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
I cropped Gothica a little and sprinkled some frantage araound her (it's ages since I used Frantage!)
I layered up my paper and die cuts and finished off with some pearls and seam binding from the Ribbon Girl.

I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out and it was super fast!


Supplies

Cheap Notebook from Sainsburys





Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday! :) xx

Pastel Wings

Good morning and happy Friday!  Well I am very glad this week is over, I'm hoping for a relaxing weekend and a far less dramatic week next week!

I've been busy house hunting too, so not had a great deal of time for crafting and my mojo has decided to go walkabout for a bit, I'm sure it will be back soon though lol.

Anyway today's make is a card using Wings, from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  Products are listed at the end of my post.


I used this stamp for the blog hop, but I thought I'd colour her again in pastels this time.

Skin: Vintage Photo
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Clothing and Wings: Bundled Sage, Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet.


I've used a Joycraft die behind her, and my embossing mat has also gone walkabout too, so I had to forgo the embossing this time.


Layers are distressed and edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Love, love, love that Prima bling!

Products Used




That's all from me today but I'll be back again at the weekend with more inspiration and some candy.  Happy crafting! :) xx

Casey @ Little Darlings Rubber Stamps

Happy Sunday folks, I hope you're all keeping well, I'm still a little fragile but feeling a lot better than yesterday!

I had to whisk this card up super quick, because I had planned to make it yesterday, but of course I really did not feel up to it so I made the majority of it this morning! It is a bit of a rush job, but I think I just managed to pull it off by giving it a shabby vintage twist.

Anyway I hope you like her, I've linked the products used at the end of my post.  

The stamp I used is called Casey and I coloured her up to match these vintage looking Pion papers that I've had in my stash for ages.


I coloured Casey with Distress Ink and Aqua Tint markers colours are below.

Skin: Vintage Photo, Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Outfit & Background: Slate (AQT), Stormy Sky
I inked all my edges with walnut stain, popped some cheesecloth between the layers, and to finish after embellishing I added some daubings of gesso to add to the shabby chic/vintage feel.


That's all from me today, enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I'll see you soon! :) xx

Gwen at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps

Happy Monday everyone! It's my turn to start the week over at LDRS and post some inspiration.

As we have lots of new stamps to share with you from the recent release, I thought I'd colour up Gwen from the latest Dollhouse collection. Isn't she sweet? Love that little bunny she's holding too and her tiny little feet (my feet are only a size 3 so I can relate to having small feet, mind you if my feet were that small I think I'd fall over lol!).


I chose these beautiful LOTV papers from my collection, I've used them quite a bit but there are lots of sheets left, especially as I bought the matching solids pack and I absolutely love them.



I coloured Gwen with my Distress Ink and Spectrum Aqua markers to match the papers.

Skin: Vintage Photo, Spice (SA)
Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain
Clothing and Bunny: Slate (SA), Spun Sugar, Burgandy (SA), Shabby Shutters

All the papers are inked with Walnut Stain distress ink and stitched with Gutterman top stitch thread.


I popped a doily between my layers and a little cheesecloth behind my framed image. I was going to go all out for a triple bow to match her hair bow, but sadly I didn't have enough of  the right coloured ribbon, so a single one had to suffice.

I added a little flourish die cut (cut into 2), some pearls some liquid pearls, and finished off with some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

Links to products from my favourite stores:



That's all from me today, enjoy the rest of your week and I'll see you back here tomorrow! :) xx
