Ironing Fairy -La Pashe

Hi all, Happy Friday!

Today's card is one I made recently using the 

Gomes & Faries CD from La Pashe

Hands up who has the Gnomes & Faires Too CD on order?

This is the Ironing Fairy, if you hadn't already guessed!

I think we could all do with one of these!

I cut her out with a Spellbinders Grand Circle Die & matted on to a

Scalloped Circle. The base card was done the opposite way round.

The paper & sentiment is also from the CD & I've added a ribbon bow to embellish.

A little side view to show the dimension! 

Here's a little heads up, La Pashe will be on Create & Craft TV tomorrow,

I'll post more details then but keep the 10am & 2.00pm slots in your day free!

Thanks so much for popping in today! 

I hope you like my little card!

I'm Not Square

Happy Fridayn all!

I thought I'd share this little card with you today!

I often print out two images when I make cards so I can replicate

or create somehing different with it, whatever takes my fancy!

So, this time, I came up with this!

This is Marilyn in Pink!

The image has been very lightly coloured with flexmarkers then

cut out with a nestie before being matted on to a piece of the 

Dottie Card by Anna Marie Designs

Some self adhesive "diamonds" from my stash & a faux silk ribbon bow to finish!

(I loved that ribbon but that's the very last of it!)

Thanks for popping in! I hope you like my card!

I sure had fun making it!

Don't Be Square

Hi di hi everyone!

I'm back with another card to share!

This is my DT inspiration card for the new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons, where the theme this fortnight is 

Don't Be Square

Here's my little card!

I made a little rocker card which features an image from our sponsor

Stitchy Bear Outlet

This is Marilyn by IkesArt, isn't she stunning! 

I was tempted not to add any colour but wasn't sure of the TOU

so thought it best to add just  little touch of colour to the skin & hair

with my flexmarkers.

I cut the base card  with a Scalloped Circle Grand Nestability, then

cut the DP using a plain circle. The image was cut with smaller nesties.

I was going to add some flowers then I spotted the little butterfly

with it's little diamante's & decided to use that on top of a triple bow.

The sentiment was done on the pc & the ribbon I have used is recycled 

from a gift. So, although my card is black & white, it's green too! lol

Thanks for popping in, it's always great to see you!

I hope you can play along in the challenge this time & look

forward to visiting you!

I coloured the image with Flexmarkers, trying to keep the colours muted

 to give a real vintage feel! I used an oval nestie to cut out the image, 

then inked the edges with some distress in in Antique Linen

The flowers are from a border trim, I cut them out & added a

 pearl to the centre of each one. The flourishes were cut using Marianne Creatable dies

& the sentiment panel was a Spellbindes Die (I trimmed off the ends).

Here's a side view! If you have read on & now want to hop on, you need to

Enter The Dragon

Hi folks,

I have a little Chinese New Year card to share with you today!

I had to make a couple of these, but as they were for totally unrelated parties, 

I was able to use the same design for both! 

 A great time saver!

I trawled the internet looking for a suitable image to use but I just

couldn't find anything I liked.

Then I remembered Dilbert Dragon from The Crafty Pad Designs!

He's a cute little dragon is he not!!!

I didn't intend to go cute but there you have it!

I couldn't stop singing "Puff The Magic Dragon" as I was making these!

I made the sentiment up in my graphics programme

then added Dilbert to the centre.

The base card was cut using a Grand Scalloped Circle Nestie which I 

then scored & folded in half!

I cut a smaller scalloped circle of gold mirror card with a regular nestie.

I cut Dilbert out using an Inverted Scallop nestie & inked the edges.

The image was coloured with Promarkers & I added a touch of Glamour Dust

to Dilberts wings &  horns!

I added a couple of Oriental Peel off's which are supposed to represent water,

also a feature of this Chinese New Year I am informed.

The numbers were die cut but I can't remember the name of the alphabet!

Thanks for stopping by!
