Stamping Bella - Babycarriageabella Digital Stamp Set

 Happy Thursday friends!

I hope you are all well!

I am back today with another gorgeous digital stamp sent from wonderful

Stamping Bella

Babycarriageabella Digital Stamp Set

I adore this image.

I always had a soft spot for the Bella V2.0 series of images and it is so lovely to see some of them now being released as digital stamps!

I have added some lovely touches of sparkle to this design but unfortunately my pesky camera/photography has not picked it up!

Make It Colour Blending Card by Elaine Hughes - Marker Geek

MFT Rectangle Stitched Scalloped Frame

Spellbinders Puffy Hearts 3D Embossing Folder 

Blue Striped Design Paper (ancient MFT I think)

White Organza Ribbon

Ranger Star Dust Stickles

...just incase this is useful...

I use PowerPoint to create my digital card designs,

I have a fairly basic HP printer and I set my ink settings on draft to print, the image comes out beautifully and there isn't so much ink that it smudges or is affected by pencils/alcohol markers.

Thank you for popping along today,

Happy crafting

Sending Big Hugs - Bonnie Loves Bows...

Hello friends.

Wishing you all well today, I can hardly believe what is happening in the world at the moment, it is truly shocking and more than a little scary!

It almost feels trivial to be sat here creating and sharing at such a time of stress for so many.  

I only hope that the colourful world we create is a break from the madness and gives some solace!

Stay safe and well friends!

I am sharing a card today created with a beautiful stamp from

Dies To Die For 

Stamping Bella - Bonnie Loves Bows 

I purposefully chose a deeper colour palette to challenge myself with the reds and the skirt folds!

Copic Colours Used

Hair - E47, E44, E43, 

Skin - V12, E93, E00

Reds - R59, R46, R27, R14, R14, R000, R00

Browns - E18, E19, E15

I added some Wink of Stella to her fluffy underskirt!

Although it can be a bit of a b**gg*r I do really enjoy colouring in red!

Fa La La Llama...

Hello friends!

While I'm on a bit of a roll with my card making catching up I thought it was time to make a start on stuff for 'you know what'!  (;

I decided a good place to begin was with these cuties by Krista -Heij-Barber for

Whimsy Stamps

Fa La La Llama Clear Stamps

You can say 'aaaahhhh'

(aren't they just the cutest and the fluffiest)!

I die cut three pieces of Kraft Card with a 

Tombstone Tag Die

I stamped these gorgeous images onto the tags and coloured them with Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils.

I used Mod Podge to add 

Glamour Dust to the yellow bows and furry hat.  (Such a shame the pics don't quite pick that detail up)!

I stamped sentiments from the

You're My Jolly Clear Stamps Set

onto Kraft card and cut them out into little rectangles and fixed them to the tags as shown. 

I die cut three more tags and embossed them with folders.

Finally I punched a hole in the tags with a red brag and fixed the image and the embossed card together with twine!

Yay- merry 'you know what'!!! (;

There's gnome one like you!...

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a happy Monday!  (I think there is such a thing)! (:

I'm here to day with some gorgeous gnomes -

because you can never have too many right!?

Whimsy Stamps

Gnomies Clear Stamps by Krista Heij-Barber

I enjoyed colouring these cuties so much that I made two cards with them - if time permitted, I could have made a hundred and two!

I simply die cut some Kraft card with a

Hand Stitched Nested Rectangle Die

and stamped the gorgeous 

Gnomies 

with black ink.

I then coloured them with an assortment of Caran d'Ache Luminance and Polychromos pencils.

I stamped a sentiment from the 

Gnomies stamp set and also used a sentiment from the 

Gnome Matter What Clear Stamps.

 I mounted the images on Kraft card decorated with an embossing folder and added some twine tied with a bow at the front.

Finally I added some enamel dots.

Something completely different...

Good morning lovely friends.

Hope all is well with you where ever you are and what ever you are up to.

We have a new challenge starting today at 

In The Pink

and it is 

Dies and/or Punches.

Our sponsor this time is lovely Tracy from

and the prize for the lucky winner is a £10 voucher.

My card today is something completely new and different for me.

I made a background with Copic Refills (in pink of course).

Then I die cut three sets of flowers with the die.  One on white card, one on a card I had rubbed with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons, and one on a piece of lovely dotty paper. 

I then stuck the outline on to the pink background.  

Then I placed the coloured petals, along with one dotty papered petal into the die cut outline.

Finally I added a die cut and embossed frame and some clear gems.  The last finishing touch was a Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker.

and here we are - something completely different... (eeeeeek)!
