The Big Day by Noelene

Hi all
Noelene here today to share with you my latest card! 
Today I am using this beautiful wedding stamp called The Big Day, which was inspired by Christine's 25th Wedding Anniversary. 




I coloured the image using Copics. I wanted to create a romantic feel with a brides wedding dress as my inspiration.




I created the card base using some border dies on cream & gold card stock. I then embellished with pretty pink & ivory flowers and used lace & pearls to decorate. 




The Big Day is available in digi format which can be found here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Be(e)autiful Shakercard


Hey crafty friends, Sandra here today with cute Lulu Bee on a bright springy shakercard.


I created the background with an Harlequin Stencil and Distress Oxide. 
Then die cut from coloring paper a lot of leaves, grass, butterflies and the tulip border and got everything colored with my Copics.


My shaker element is made from a Pierced Scalloped Oval Die Cut, a Double Stitched Oval Die Cut, some Acetate and a few golden sequins.


I glued the sun below the shaker and affix some leaves, a twig and Lulu Bee on it.

The grass and tulip border, mushrooms and butterflies were sticked to the card with 3D foam tape to achieve a more plastic look.


And after all...start shaking with a bright smile on your face!

A #stayhome Message by Ildi

Hello everyone, it's Ildi here with a card inspired by the situation around us. I have a little mission to convice as many people as I can to stay in thier homes. For my card I used this great rubber stamp set Superboy Owen which includes his super cute dog as well. As I don't have any special ink for no-line colouring I simply used a black ink pad. With third generation stamping I got super light lines, good enough for this special kind of colouring technique.


Thank you for stopping by, stay home, stay safe and happy creating!
Hugs,
Ildi

Pot O' Gold by Noelene

Hi all
Noelene here today to share with you my latest project! 
St Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I'm not Irish but I thought it would be fun to make some St Patrick's Day themed goodies.




I started off by colouring the cute PND images Lucky Jack & Lucky Lulu with my copics. I then created these Pots O' Gold using an SVG file with my Silhouette.




I then decorated them with some pretty St Patrick's Day themed paper from Doodlebug, flowers & last of all added the yummy chocolate coins for the treats.




Both these stamps are available in digi format. Lucky Jack & can be found here & Lucky Lulu can be found here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bunny Wagon By Cat

Hi everyone!
Cat here with my DT Inspiration for today! 

I have used the image 'Bunny Wagon', which you can purchase as a digital image here


This little image is perfect for an Easter card! This is a 5x5 card and I have created the background to almost fill the card to create a scene! The image and the background has been coloured with Promarkers, and white pen to create the little details on the dress. The clouds I have used Tim Holtz Distress inks 'Broken China' and a cloud stencil. Finally I added a bit of sparkle to the flowers and around the 'Hoppy Easter' sentiment. .

Aren't those Rabbits super Cute! 
Hope you like it!

Farmer Owen by Sean

Hello and welcome back fellow crafters! Sean here to share my card for Christine at Paper Nest Dolls!

This is the SUPER CUTE new Farmer Owen digi stamp! When I saw this image I just had to color it and turn it into a card! I hope you feel the same way too!!


Isn't he just the most adorable thing ever!?! He comes with the cow! I added the corn stalk from my stash of stamps and masked it to be in the back of the cow.


I just love lots of layers and my favorite thing to do to a card is sew it. So I pulled out my trusty Singer and did some stitches around the red gingham print and then some zig zag stiitches here and there throughout the card. They didn't come out perfect but I kind of like that about it, it's handmade!


I hope you enjoyed him as much as I did making him and jump on over to the Paper Nest Dolls website and see Farmer Owen as well as a couple other new releases!
