Noor Design UK Challenge

Hello everyone we are away in the caravans this weekend the whole family so I'm hoping this has published.

Its the first of the month..........July can you believe it.....where is this year going??

Anyway 1st of the Month means a new challenge over at Noor Design UK & this month is easy peasy lemon squeezy :-)

DIES

...........see easy peasy right!!

I didnt go die mad for this one, simply because I ran out of time making my other card so used this back up I had made just incase I didnt have time finish the other thing....wow what a lot of babble lol. Anyway here is my DT card.

Still havnt got my light area set up so excuse the pics peeps.

 I've used Pion papers & a Pion image, for all links go to the bottom of the post.

The image is from My Dearest Sofia 'Images From The Past'. I cut it out using a circle die & attached it behind a Wycinanka chipboard frame. I then glued pearl trim around the centre & added pearl dots using a pearl pen, white & pink.

 I love the effect the pearls have added to this frame.

As always I've decorated the inside. The die cuts along the top & bottom of the centre piece are from Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 9.

I've machine stitched all around the edge of the papers. All flowers are WOC & the die-cut leaves I used 2 dies, one is a Magnolia die that coame with Lemon Tree Tilda & the other a Rosy Owl die. Also added 2 tassels using the Marianne tassel dies.

I also added some pretty lace & a charm & added a bit of glitter to the centre. I also added a couple of bows using organza ribbon from my stash & addeda brad to the centre.

Well thats it from me, hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Cards

Hello everyone hope you all had a fabulous weekend. To all those in the UK hope you enjoyed your long weekend.

I'm here today with my post for Noor Design UK & I'm here with another shabby chic kind of card.....not so much shabby though lol. This time pink.

I've also tried out another new flower die on the foamiran..........OMWord I love it.....

I've also used a new paper pad that is new to Noor Design UK, all links to items used are at the bottom of the post.

The pad is Craft & You 'Bird Song' which is so pretty, so soft & full of pinks, blues & greens....all soft & pastel. Of course I machine stitched around the edges as always.

The flowers I made myself from a new die by Whimsy Stamps & this die set was designed by our lovely crafty buddy Bev Rochester. Its fab, honestly its gonna be my favourite Foamiran die & so so easy. You can either have your Peony Roses closed in or I like mine with the leaves spaced out... 

I used pink & white foamiran for the flowers & used Pentel oil pastels to add colour.....

The leaves I used green & then added colour again with the same oil pastels.....leaves are not one colour. I used pink & white stamens in the centre.

You really should try out these dies they are awesome!!!

I used all 3 sizes on my flowers & did big, medium & small peony flowers. I also used the leaf die that came with it.

What is also fabulous is they make a wee little hole in the centre of each flower to put your stamens through.......I didnt think this would make much difference but seriously soooooo much easier.

I've been digging through my Scrapiniec & added bits of that, the bird is form my stash. I also cut a piece of lace off & scrunched it up to make another flower at the top next to the larger peony flower.

The Antique Bronze Leaf Swirl peeking out form the bottom flowers I gave the ivory frantage treatment to soften the bronze but I wiped some off before heating it so I still had some bronze peeking through.

Well thats it from me, thank you so much for stopping by.

Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello everyone here today with another DT card, running a bit late might I add.

Now with this one I cheated as I knew I still had cards that I've not shown on this blog yet & because I was ill I didnt have chance to make one.......so thankfully this one fits the theme.

Ok so the new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges this month is.......

SPRING

.......so super easy, bring on the sunshine ;-)

 I made this I think back in January for an order & my instructions were just 2 things, Vintage & Yellow.......eeeekkkkk yellow was the scary part lol. However I like to make whatever people ask for..........so here it is

Yep since making this card I have made a few yellow themed creations......yellow is actually my new friend now....no fear here lol.

Of course yellow is easy when you have pretty paper like this from Pion Design The Songbird's Secret. I decorated inside as always but decorated both sides....somwtimes I just do 1 side. I added somewhere to write but took photo's before it was added.

I added this little verse also from the same Pion Design collection. As always all papers were machine stitched & the edging ws done with a MS punch.

I added Lace Grace across the centre & also 2 cream laces along the top & bottom, these were from my stash.

I made a cabochon using one of the motiffs from Pion. The charms underneath are from my stash as is the seam binding.

The chipboard bird is from Wycinanka.

Both tags are removable & both are cut from the Pion Design A Singbird's Secret collection, & on the smaller one I also added a Happy Birthday sentiment also cut from this collection.

The image is from the Image's From The Past sheet & I layered it up onto a Joy Crafts frame die. 

I also added WOC flowers & the leaves were cut out with a Rosy Owl die & bent into shape.

Please pop on over to see my fabulous teamies creations & hope you will join us in our Spring themed challenge.

Thanks for stopping by

Maja Design Mood Board

Hello there everyone how are you all? Last week or 2 weather had got pretty mild for winter but these last couple of days I'm absolutely freezing :-(

Anyhoo you havnt come for a weather report have you or have you because I reckon I could do a decent-ish weather impersonator lol.

Ok just kidding I'm gonna show you a card really lol. Now yesterday I was going to show you a new stamp brand, new for me. Erm well you will have to wait til tomorrow as although its in my drafts I completely forgot its the last day for Maja Design Mood Board & I sooooo want to enter you know I lurve their papers..........I think I tell you everytime I use them lol.

So this is there Mood Board this month....

..........isn't it pretty. I love the colours yet rarely use these colours together. My nan always said 'Blue & green should never be seen unless something is in between'........so I did ;-)

I have used papers from 2 collections, both blue papers are from Vintage Romance, top layer is 'Wedding Day' & bottom layer is 'Forget Me Knot'. The middle layer is from their latest relese Sofiero.....oh Sofiero is sooooo darn pretty I'm already going to buy another set....no I'm not running low but the sheer panic if I did would be unbearable ;-)

Ok so the green sheet is 'The Elegant Wine House' I also used this sheet for the leaves.

Ok now as my nan said to put something in between....so I did. So in between the bottom blue & the green I added doilies to either side & in between the green & the top layer of blue I added CheeseCloth........I always listened to my Nan <3 nbsp="" p="">

Made 2 bows, 1 with cheesecloth & one with shabby seam binding & then added this gorgeous pearl bling to the centre. I've had this for ages & I think it was originally from LLC, isn't it gorgeous!!

I added lots of gorgeous WOC flowers from Noor Design UK. The leaves were made with Rosy Owl Elegant Leaves die. The bird is form my stash.

As always I decorated inside. The card shape was made with a Go-Kreate die & I inked all the paper edges with pumice stone before very lighlty distressing them & machine sewing all layers.

The top 2 layers were cut with Fantasy Stitched Rectangles die.

The chipboard is Wycinanka. 

Well thats from me I have such a busy day today.

Thank you sooooo much for stopping by & listening to me babble on lol. You all totally rock!!

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
