Kit Kite Valentine

 


Today I am sharing with you the valentine's card I have made for my hubby.


There is a great offer on in the store of 30% off a purchase of 3 items or more so I would encourage you to head on over.



I have used the image Kit Kite Valentine and Heart Digital Papers from Pinksy Doodles. Please visit the Etsy store for an ever expanding range of papers, images and some fabulous SVG cut files that make me wish I had one of those fancy machines......



I used Sketch 492 from Try Stamping on Tuesdays for the layout and roughly designed my card on scrap paper before organising what I wanted to print out.


I printed the heart digital paper onto some glossy photo paper, it really makes the colours pop. I used 2 of the papers so I could add a contrasting strip.

The little kitty has been coloured with Promarkers and I used my Arteza coloured pencils to add some shading. The balloon has been covered with Glossy Accents and I added Glamour Dust glitter to this so it really sparkles. I fussy cut the image and added some sparkly gems to the cushion. This has been popped up on some thin foam squares.


The You Make My Heart Happy die cut sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. You get all the dies needed to create the layout and once I had decided what papers I was using I could cut the hearts out using the matching papers. I added double sided tape onto the back of the black cardstock before cutting the letters out which is so much easier than glueing the letters after they have been cut.

I added a strip of my absolute favourite ribbon to the underside of the pink central panel. I bought quite a big roll of it from Ebay years ago and have used it for so many cards over the years.

The sketch has 3 little dots on the bottom left so I used one of the rubber stamps from the Always & Forever set from Uniko and added some tiny red gems to either side. There seemed too much blank space above the sentiment so I cut a scalloped heart using an old punch from Woodware.


I had lots of scraps of the papers left so I decided to decorate the inside too. The central focus is the sentiment stamp from You Are Sentiments Outlined from Uniko. I had seen reference to this phrase at different times over the years but did not know where it originated. I really like to watch programmes on my Ipad when I am cooking and crafting and I am currently watching Grey's Anatomy and now know it is from this series. My husband is 'My Person' and has been for nearly 32 years so it is perfect for him.

I layered the papers together using Woodware punches to add a little more interest.

I am a full on romantic. I always say I live in a heart shaped world. You know some people see faces in images and everyday scenarios well I see hearts in all sorts of patterns and I truly believe that is because I have been in love with my husband for so many years. I know I am extremely lucky, he truly makes my heart happy just like it says on the front of this card.

I wish everyone who visits my blog lots of love and happiness and hope you are as happy as I am.

Heart Flower


This card has been made using the single flower image from the Heart Flower set by Pinksy Doodles. It is a lovely set with the main plant and the single flower. As soon as I saw this I just knew what I was going to do with it.



I printed the image 3 time to create layers. The back layer is the full stamp,  layer 2 follows the spiky flower petals and layer 3 is the heart flower petals and the centre.

All layers are coloured using a combination of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir markers. The final layer has lots of shading with Arteza pencils. All layers were fussy cut and raised up on foam pads.

I filled the centre with glossy accents to act as a glue base. I then used a combination of small flower beads and then filled in the rest with tiny accent beads. I added some tiny purple gems to the flower beads to add a bit of sparkle. You can see the centre in more detail in the image below.


I used a spotty patterned paper cut into 4 squares laid onto the lilac card base. These squares have been edged with a Pentel silver paint marker.

The sentiment is from Brenda's Sunny Sentiments pack from the Pinksy Doodles Etsy store. You get loads of lovely sentiments perfect to cheer someone up

I printed the sentiment, edged with the silver marker and added some tiny purple star gems in the corners.


This card is for a neighbour and friend who cheered me up with a bunch of flowers when I needed it. She is a teacher, working from home with 2 kiddies and I imagine she is a little overwhelmed at the moment. I wanted to thank her for her lovely gesture when I needed a boost and will be returning that with this thank you card and some pretty flowers. The sentiment on the front is particularly apt and I decorated the card centre with a typed sentiment, edged with the silver pen. This is a pre-bought card blank that I don't usually use as I think they are too thin so I added a white one on the inside as the 'insert' and then added some more of the patterned paper to the inside.


I do hope you like this card. I really enjoyed making it as the bold flower outline really lent itself to layering in this way. It took quite a while to do but crafting brings me so much joy and I know the recipient will appreciate the work that has gone into it.

Ellie with Kittens & Paw Prints

 


Over at the Outlawz Challenge there is a monthly Progressive Freebie Challenge. 
If you have taken part in the previous month you get a new image to play with.

This month we got the super cute Ellie with Kittens to play with from The Paper Nest Dolls. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added some white gel pen to the eyes. I used a Fiskars Shapecutter template to cut out the oval and used an inkpad to distress the edges.



Pinksy Doodles has just released a cool SVG that I thought would work really well as a sentiment. Paw Prints is available from the Etsy store for only £1.49 for the SVG cut file. I printed it out onto white card, cut with a Nesting Oval Tracks Cookie Cutter die and then mounted onto a scrap of brown card.


The layout of the card is sketch 484 at Try Stamping on Tuesday.  When I saw this image I knew I wanted to use my new stencil aptly named Pawprints from Newton's Nook Designs. I used a sheet of A4 linen texture card for the base and stencilled directly onto the bottom of the card using 2 shades of brown Distress Inks.


Following the sketch I used a brown spotty paper for the top section of the card and some plain gross grain ribbon. I inked all around the edge of the card and finished off with a bow I made from some spotty organza ribbon.

Sammy the Snowman

 



Any frequent visitor to my blog will not be surprised to know that I love making Christmas cards and especially featuring Snowmen.



Our talented creator Clare at Pinksy Doodles showed us Sammy The Snowman and I immediately asked to play with him. At that stage he was in his infancy and the stamp set wasn't finished. Since then he has an optional background as you can see in the example below. This is available from the Pinksy Doodles Etsy store. You get the complete image and also the snowman which can be used separately


I had found this background sheet which was from a paper pack that you get free with a magazine. I don't buy them like I used to as I found I was subscribing but not really using them. Paper quality on this one is really good. I love the little homes scene and knew it needed some snowmen and pretty snowflakes to make the scene come to life.

I printed Sammy out in different sizes to group together. They have been coloured with Promarkers and then loads of glitter glue on the larger one. I have fussy cut with my trusty Fiskars scissors and mounted the smaller ones on foam squares to pop them up.


I used the Let it Snow die cut from Sizzix. It is a nice size and against the printed background it really pops, especially with lots of glitter added to it.

I recently won a challenge at a blog and the prize was a gift voucher to spend at Newton's Nook Designs. As part of my prize I chose this Snowfall Stencil and used parts of it to add selective snowflakes with embossing paste. It has a bit of glitter in it but a I added some Glamour Dust loose glitter whilst it was still wet. It has added so much dimension and sparkle and has some lovely intricate snowflakes. I was impressed how crisp they came out with the paste. 


Finally I have added snowdrifts on the bottom using Ice Diamond glitter from Pinflair. It is made from real glass that has been crushed and tumbled to take the sharp edges away. I have had this for years and years and this is the first time it has been used. I am actually quite surprised it is still available.

I am really enjoying working with the Pinksy Doodles images. There are digital papers and cut files in the store too at excellent prices so there is something to suit everyone.

For Day 7 at Beccy's Place Month Long Holiday Cards Challenge the prompt is the letter F. 
I have chosen Frosty the Snowman. I have managed to keep up with the challenges day by day as last year I was late to the party joining in from Day 10 so had lots to catch up. I love making Christmas cards at the best of times but now we are on lockdown 2 in England it seems even more poignant to have fun crafting and inject a bit of sparkle every day.

Sunflower

 


In honour of the spectacular Autumn weather we are having I have made a card using the Sunflower image from Pinksy Doodles. 


I call sunflowers 'happy flowers' as they have the most wonderful smiley face. There are so many varieties and I have seen some amazing pictures recently of big fluffy headed ones that look stunning. I have even seen a photo of one on Facebook growing out of someones's chimney. 

This digital stamp set from the Pinksy Doodles store has the leaves and flower head as separate image, also a page which is suitable to decoupage as shown below. It really is a very versatile set  and amazing value for money.


I printed the image of the full sunflower 3 times as I wanted to decoupage the head and leaves. The bottom layer was left whole, the 2nd layer is the middle petals on the flower head and I cut the set of leaves from this. The final layer is the seed centre and I used the leaves to create an extra embellishment.

I have coloured the image with my beloved Promarkers. I then fussy cut the layers as required and they are mounted onto thin foam squares.


In the close up below you can see the bead detail I added to the centre. I put a thin layer of Glossy Accents down to act as an adhesive. I then carefully placed seed beads on the markings on the stamp. The rest of the circle was then filled with tiny Accent Beads. I then added a thicker layer of Glossy Accents on the top to encase it all. This makes it so shiny and the dimension on both the petals and centre makes this a very tactile card.


I used one of the sketches from the latest challenge at Cut It Up for the layout and rotated it to fit my image.



I used a sheet of A4 card for the base and covered it with the coloured flower paper from an old pad Woodland Folk from Papermania. This has been one of my most used autumn themed pads over the years. The colours on the flowers are a perfect compliment to this Autumn themed card.

The second paper is from an old Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine freebie Home Grown by Hot Off The Press. It dates back to 2014! All my patterned paper pads have been split up and organised by colour and the type of pattern. I simply went into my section of 'orange/small flowers' and experimented with patterns and colours until I found the combination I was happy with. I have never been afraid to mix and match suppliers and collections of paper that are intended to go together. I use Evernote to organise my supplies and have a photo of the contact sheet on the front of the paper pad which is useful for matching up which pad the paper has come from.

I cut the image and the mat layer using dies from the Rococo Frames set from Crafter's Companion. I love how ornate it is and that you can see a lot of the papers through it. It is quite large as well which is perfect for me as I tend to make more larger cards. Digital images are especially perfect for this is you have the flexibility to make the image as big as you need.

With the spare leaves I made a corner embellishment using some 3d flower stickers I bought from the poundshop a million years ago. I am sure many UK crafters bought the same ones. The sticky pads gave up the ghost a long time ago but that is easily replaced. I added a sentiment banner that was mounted on a scrap of the brown card and finally I added some tiny glittery butterfly stickers because what sunflower would be complete without a little butterfly or 2?

Head on over to the Pinksy Doodles store to check out the digital images, papers and cut files. The collection is ever expanding and you can be inspired and see the examples from our amazing Design Team.
