LOTV Christmas Snooze

Happy day everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying a marvelous week...and we are getting closer and closer to another weekend, which I hope will also be a very nice one for you!! It has been so HOT in these mountains that I just can't believe it!!! It is supposed to be temperate and pleasant in the summer here....sigh!!!!

For my card today I used another of those little darlings from the latest release over at Lili of the Valley--Christmas Snooze...and isn't he and his trusty doggy the cutest little things?!?! The image was colored with Copics, adding a touch of gold glitter to his crown and some Glossy Accents to the cuppycakes and pitcher before cutting it out with triple Nesties. The base and all matting is Bazzill, the DP is from the BG Jovial Collection, and all background panels are machine stitched.I used a diecut from Memory Box to hold down the light olive satin ribbon which was tied into a double flat bow to hold a gold wreath charm. The double matted sentiment is from the LOTV Christmas Circular Sentiment Set. Finally I added some Small Gold Filigree Corners.



The inside is just a few matted Nesties, more satin ribbon, a few WOC Pearls, and that sweet holiday sentiment from the LOTV A5 Verses Set.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you will come by often!! It is such a joy to know that you have visited! Have a wonderful day and until the next time, I send big hugs!!

LOTV Christmas Puppy

Happy Thursday Everyone!! I hope you are all having a magnificent week! We are having extremely HOT weather here in the NC mountains...but no complaints yet...lol...as I remember the snow and ice and cold and no electricity last winter!!

My card today uses one of the cutest stamps from the Latest Stamp Launch at LOTV which includes 21 darling Christmas/holiday images! And it won't be long until the next Christmas Launch. You can see the upcoming collection in the catalog on the LOTV site. This image is Christmas Puppy and he looks like he is in doggie heaven, sitting on all of the cushions with bright packages all around him! Because the image is so colorful I decided to use only one layer of a very simple patterned paper. He was colored with Copics, adding a bit of Glamour Dust to his Santa cap. I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting; the DP is from the Polar Expressions Collection by Imaginisce; and all panels are machine stitched. I used a small snowflake ornament to back the double matted sentiment from the Christmas Circular Sentiments set. To finish the front I added some polka dot satin ribbon tied across the corners, and a few red pearls.



The inside is very simple--on the first panel I added a large snowflake ornament with a knotted ribbon, and smaller snowflake ornaments to anchor the jotting panel.

Thank you so very much for dropping by today and I hope you will let me know what you think of this little puppy card. If you haven't visited the LOTV site to see the cute new stamps, you are in for a real treat. Have a fun rest of the week and come back real soon! Sending a big hug your way!!

Feathered Friends from the LOTV New Release!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!! I hope your weekend is going exceptionally well!! Thank you all so much for the many birthday greetings and good wishes!! You are such a joy to me!!! BIG SMILES HERE!!!!!

And, for another little Sneaky Peek of the new release about to hit Cyberia from LOTV!!!!! I used Bazzill for the base and for all double matting; the DP is from the Mistletoe Collection by Memory Box; and all background panels were machine stitched. The cutest little image is FEATHERED FRIENDS from the new LOTV Christmas Release which will take place on July 25 at midnight UK time. The new collection has 21 of the most darling stamps you have ever seen!!!! This image was stamped on Cryogen white and colored with Copics, adding Prisma Glitter for the snow, Crushed Velvet for the fur, and a touch of Spica for the bird feeder. It was then double matted with Nesties. I found some matching checked trim in my stash and used it for both the horizontal and vertical--for the horizontal I braided the trim...and used as the vertical the flat bow holds a gold bird charm. The floral treatment is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: 35mm Mahogany Trellis Rose, 25mm Light Mocha Wild Roses, and Carnations resting on some Mulberry Paper Holly Leaves that I touched with some gold leafing paint. The front was finished with Self-Adhesive Pearls.


The inside of my card is very simple and floows the design of the front, using the very same supplies. I did add a very sweet sentiment from the Set 5-Christmas Circular Sentiments cut out with triple Nesties on the first panel.

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I hope you will let me know what you think of my little creation today. Remember to scroll down for the SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious posting!! Have a wonderful day and hope to see you again real soon!! Big hugs!!
