Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this month is...

FLOWER GARDEN

 So we want to see all those beautiful floral creations...in PINK of course!

Apologies for the wonkiest photo ever, it was just one of those days!  I have crammed in the flowers though, on the image, the DP and some lovely 3D flowers too :-)
I have had some hessian ribbon for a little while now and decided it was time to use it, and I do love it teamed with the seam binding and twine - both rustic and pretty.

I have just started the skin and hair colouring class at Kit and Clowder and whilst I have a long way to go I feel I have made some improvements already...like the hair on this little lady...what do you reckon?
This is just one of the many gorgeous new fairy stamps at LOTV; I could so have bought them all but had to resist!

Scrap n' Art with All Dressed Up

Hello lovely people,

Thank you for stopping by and I have a very special project to share today as one of my cards has been published in the latest issue of the Scrap n' Art online magazine.

Scrap n' Art is an electronic magazine packed with articles, tutorials and inspiration all the paper crafter and has a reader base of over 20,000.

Wendy Burns and three brand new, exclusive All Dressed Up images are being featured in the current issue plus several of the design team have submitted projects.

The three exclusive digis are:

Love My Teddy

Princess for a Day

Too Good to Eat

These three digital images are currently available only by subscribing to Scrap n' Art.  Your subscription entitles you to a monthly magazine for $24/year or you can try it for $5 for one month and you can access tutorials, inspiration, editorials and downloads.

For my card, I used another cute image currently available in the All Dressed Up Etsy store called Little Flower Girl.  I went for a taste of summer with this design, choosing bright colours and florals.

I just LOVE this little lady's gorgeous huge sun hat although it was a little bit of a challenge to colour!  I cut out an extra flower for her hat and popped it up on a 3D pad, then added liquid pearls to the middle of the flowers in the basket.

I've used my fave twine and flowers combo to embellish; I'm still loving the 3D flowers right now!

One more shot from the side so you can see the stepper design I used;

Sew shabby

Hello lovely people,

Well, we haven't seen much sunshine so far for our cottage holiday in Dorset but have still enjoyed some lovely walks and a visit to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, which were beautiful.

Now it is of course time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this time is...

VINTAGE / SHABBY CHIC

I have been enjoying making cards with a slightly shabby chic feel lately and the one I am sharing today was actually requested by my hairdresser for her Mum's special birthday.
It is very similar to a layout I did recently and it was so good I just had to use it again, but this time with a sewing machine image from Pink Petticoat.  It's a sweet and simple design but perfect for dressing up with lots of pretty embellishments.

And how timely that one of the magazines I subscribe to had a free gift of sewing themed charms so I added one on here!
I added extra prettiness to the digi image with liquid pearl dots on the flower centres and Frantage round the edge.

I've popped a little tag behind the image with the special greeting on it; it's a cute way to add an interactive touch I think.

Card recipe;
Image: Material Girl (daisies) - Pink Petticoat
DP: Vintage summer basics - Maja Design
Corner swirl stamps: set 68 - Corners - LOTV
Frantage: Shabby white by Stampendous - from Live & Love Crafts

Garden fun

Hello lovely people,

Oh my word, that weekend went so fast and now it's almost halfway through the week!  It was such a fabulous weekend with almost wall to wall sunshine here in Gloucestershire :-D
Dr Hubby and I did lots of gardening and popped out for a little spin in our Caterham Seven with the roof off; it was glorious!
After all that I didn't actually spend that much time in my craft room but I do have a card to share that I made for a special friend who also enjoys being in the garden.

This is the second outing for this image and this time I cut it down slightly to work better with my intended layout.
I very nearly didn't put flowers on this one but in the end I couldn't resist adding a few as they are so pretty!

Shabby Tilda

Hello lovely people,

I am back with my second card of the day and it's a mid-way reminder for the current challenge at A Little Bit Crafty.  If you are looking for my card for In The Pink then just scroll down :-)

So, just to remind you, this month's theme is...

FLOWER POWER

This Tilda stamp recently 'appeared' in my craft room so I thought I'd show her a little ink!  I am quite liking the shabby chic look of late so I have distressed and inked the edges of the DP.
Strangely considering the challenge theme I didn't add any extra flowers as I liked the clean layered look.

I tried to keep the colouring soft to match the DP and added teeny dots of liquid pearls to the bunch of flowers.

Card recipe;

Image: For you Tilda - Magnolia

DP: Vintage Spring basics - Maja Design

Seam binding / twine: from The Ribbon Girl
Dies: Leaf and swirl, Tilda lace - Magnolia

Flower girl

Hello lovely people,

Woohoo, it's new release time at All Dressed Up and once again we have an amazing selection of images for you.  Just take a look at these cute wedding themed images...

Just Married

Mirror Mirror

My Little Flower Girl

To Have and to Hold

I know these are all going to be very popular with wedding season coming up but I think the little flower girl also works well for a more generic card, as you can see...

I have had a hard time finding the right Copics for colouring cream but this combo worked quite well and I love the deep red against it.  This feels like a really happy card to me :-)

Flower Power

Hello lovely people,

I am back with my next belated card share from Thursday and it's my guest DT card for A Little Bit Crafty where this month's theme is...

FLOWER POWER

This is the card I sent to my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day and it's a fairly CAS design.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on the relatives tags from LOTV to match the general sentiment ones I already have and they are so useful!

I love this sweet Tilda and have gone for springtime colours and little dots of pearl pen for a subtle touch of bling.

Polaroid fairy

Hello lovely people,

Sorry for the delay while I was poorly and thank you for your get well wishes.  I'm not feeling better yet but have finally got to the bottom of what was wrong with me and started antibiotics so am hoping to feel better soon.

Since this post was almost ready to go I thought I'd quickly finish it off and will be back with the other 2 belated DT posts tomorrow.

First up, it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this month is...

FLUTTERING ON BY

So, we would like to see some butterflies on your creation.  They don't have to be the focal point as you can see on my card...

Here's a closer look at the cute fairy and yes, that cloudy background is a first for me.  I did it with chalk following a super tutorial from Netty which you can find here.

I cut the inner shape of the polaroid frame using my Cricut and then trimmed the outer shape with my guillotine.

Happy 10th Birthday LOTV!

Hello lovely people,

I took the opportunity of the extra crafting time over the Easter break to make a card to celebrate LOTV's 10th birthday and for a couple of challenges.  I decided on a shabby chic look so the edges of the DP have been distressed, inked and stitched.  I also stamped a little scroll detail in 2 corners.

I experimented with a few new things on this card, one of which was adding a little pull-out tag.  Its a great way to add an extra little message and makes the card more interactive :-)

I also added lots of pretty flowers and another first for me... some pins to add to the shabby chic look.

This is one of the older LOTV stamps in my collection but I like to go back and make sure the older ones get loved too!
Of course, the shabby chic feel wouldn't be complete without a little scattering of Frantage so that's in there too!

Spring flowers

Hello lovely people,

This is my second post today so if you are looking for my guest DT card for A Little Bit Crafty then please scroll down :-)

It certainly feels to me like Spring is well and truly here with all this lovely sunshine and everything growing away in my garden, so now I have to split my time between gardening and crafting.  What about the housework?  Hmm, best not go there!

Anyhoo,  we have a new challenge for you at All Dressed Up and our theme is...

SPRING

I bet you never would have guessed that with all my waffle about Spring at the start of this post ;-)
I've gone for pretty spring shades and flowers... oooh yes, those flowers are from my newly acquired (and quite enormous!) stash of WOC flowers.  I got all sorts of types, sizes and colours and am having lots of fun using them :-D

Of course, I will just have to share a closer look at this little cutie.  There is a touch of Stickles too but in very small dots so it's mostly invisible in the photos!

A special pink card

Hello lovely people,

For those of you wondering where I have been, it has just been a busy week and a fab weekend with family.  I have a couple of days off at the moment though and am enjoying a little me (craft) time :-)

But now it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme is...

MOTHER'S DAY OR SPECIAL LADY

We know that not everyone will be making Mother's Day cards so any card for a special lady will do and we'd love it if you told us who it's for.
My card is for my mother-in-law's birthday but I always struggle to put names on cards so you can't tell from looking at it - lol!

She enjoys gardening so I bought this stamp with her in mind and of course, it works so well in pink!  I used the out-of-the-box technique to cut it into a circle to match the doodled frame of the stamped image.

Card recipe;

Image: Sunny Days and Smiles - LOTV

DP: Always and Forever - LOTV

Dies: Die-namics circle stax, Anja's vintage swirls - Marianne Designs

Lace: from stash (East of India brand)

Challenges I am entering;
1.  As You Like It (fave 3D texture object - mine is more of a combo than 1 item as I love lace layered with twine tied in a bow with a flower on top - it just looks so elegant)

3.  Totally Gorjuss (happy birthday)
4.  The Ribbon Girl (birthday)

Let's go shopping

Hello lovely people,

I'm all recovered after my hectic weekend and ready for another busy one with more family this weekend :-)  Just two more days of work to go first...

In the meantime, we have a new challenge for you at Crafty Little Fairies and our theme this week is...

SHOPPING

Our lovely sponsor this week with a prize of 4 digis of the winner's choice is...

I fancied another play with my Go Kreate dies and this time I have followed a suggestion from the lovely Christine to draw round the inside of the largest die and cut it out by hand to mat onto the base shape - it works a treat!

I have used one of the fabulous 'Love to Shop' girls from ADU - I do wish I looked this glamorous when shopping but not a chance!
