You've touched my heart

Hi ladies, today I have this card to share; the stamp is one of the Beautiful Day Fairies from Paper Makeup Stamps - Sugarplum Fairy, coloured with Prisma pencils, the papers are from a First Edition paper pad, the flowers are made using Die-namics and the sentiment comes from a Paper Makeup Stamps set - ''When There's Nothing Left to Say''. This set has been sold out, but there are lots of other great sets, and this is the link to them.

That's all from me for today, please meet me next Sunday, same time, same place. Have a great week.

Hugs,

Alina

Make a Wish....

Happy Tuesday!! Sandie here and I would like to share a card I made using one of Kraftin' Kimmie's wonderful stamps which I have stamped onto Make it Colour blending card and coloured with Copic markers. 

The papers I've chosen are Jack & Jill Celebrate by Prima and I've stitched them down onto pink and green cardstock. The sentiment is from Paper Makeup's Dandy Wish set.

I've added some Make it Crafty Round Leaves lasercut chipboard which I pained with white acrylic paint and glittered, pearls, and flowers which have been stickled for extra sparkle.

Thanks for dropping in, I do hope you are even a little bit inspired :)

Icky Flubu

Hiya everyone. :) I've got another 'different' project to share with you today, in the sense that it isn't a traditional card. :) I always love finding projects and different ways to use envelopes, so when I came across a card over at Christinas Scrapkammaren, I just had to give it a go. 

Having a bunch of 'unusual' sized envelopes (because it's a little obsession I have on the side), but not being one to dedicate myself to making a whole mini album, little projects such as this are fab, and much quicker than an album.

So.. incase you haven't met him before.. I'd like to introduce to to Flubu, from Paper Makeup Stamps. Isn't he lush? Heehee. He put a right smile on my face when I came across him over at the Quixotic Paperie shop, and knew I had to have him. He'll come in terribly handy around this time of year, everyone is getting ill with some bug or another. Yuck.

HA! Don'tcha just wanna hug him till he dies?! Green with pink spots. Of course. I think next time round I'ma colour him up like that big fluffy monster from Monsters Inc. Know the one? Aqua with purple dots - beaut!! I've used some papers from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads collection. I've also paper pieced his little towel using the same collection. Ahhh. :)

This is the insert which fits inside the envelope. A space equivalent to the inside of a card. I think it's such a neat idea, don't know how I haven't come across it before. I used the sentiment which comes with Flubu. "Sorry you feel so icky" Perfect? No? Just to finish off the white panel I stamped Flubu in Memento Tuxedo Black, stamped it off once and then stamped it onto the panel - not such a stark black then. :)

This shows how it all goes together, sort of. Christina had left the flap of her envelope free, but I decided to fold mind down and adhere it under the front panel of the card. I used a 1/2" circle punch to cut a little piece out of the back of the envelope. The pink ribbon fits perfectly into the gap, so from the front it all looks flush. :)

Hope you've enjoyed this as much as I did making it. P.S This envelope measures approx 3.75"x2.75" give or take a few eighths. :)

A Monster of a Card

Hi everyone! Sandie here with a monster of a card to share with you ;) This is Argus with Teddy by Paper Makeup Stamps and he is too  cute for words! He's been coloured with copic markers - YG21, 23, 25. R07, 09. W1, 3, 5 and the teddy has been coloured using R15, 17, 19.

My papers are Old School from Pink Paislee, there are some wonderful 'boy' colours in this paper pack. There is 15% discount on these papers right now so it's a perfect time to stock up!! 

I cut my image out using circle nestabilities, adhered it onto a scalloped circle of coordinating paper and mounted them onto foam dots for added dimension. 

Thanks for popping in!

I'm here for you

Hi ladies,
Nice to see you on this Sunday evening!
Today I'd like to share this card, and I'm sure you've already met this beauty everywhere in the blogland. You can order her by Quixotic Paperie, together with other beautiful stamps designed by Sylvia Zet. She was coloured with Derwent pencils. The sentiment  comes from a Paper Makeup Stamps set - ''When There's Nothing Left To Say'' and I'm so glad I have them! I've used again my Die-namics to embellish the card and the papers come from a First Edition Paper Pad -Spring Feast.

I hope you like my card, I wish you a lovely Sunday evening and see you next week.
Hugs,
Alina
