Christmas Joy!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday... and Christmas:)! The new Greeting Farm stamps have put me in Christmas mode and given me the perfect excuse to use my all time favourite Make It Crafty backgrounds and to make a little scene! 

I stamped Dollie With Gifts in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Make It Colour Blending Card, masked her, then stamped Make It Crafty Pine Trees three times, using both trees that come in the set. Those trees are also part of the Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds Collection - a must have for all your winter cards! I coloured my scene in Copics and added one of the sentiments that comes with the Greeting Farm Dollie With Gifts stamp set.

Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone! I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend! I'm back to share a simple Birthday card using one of the latest Make it Crafty Rubber stamps perfect for the occasion.

I stamped the adorable Toni Heart Balloon by Make it Crafty on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured her with Copics. I die-cut my image with an MFT die and added a Tiddly Inks sentiment from the Ellie Says Happy Birthday stamp set. I put my image on foam squares onto a piece of heart DP to match the heart balloon.

Spreading Sunshine!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope today's little card will cheer you up - for my scene, I have chosen an image which screams happiness to me and puts a smile on my face!

This cutie is Lil Orphan Annie by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I stamped her on Make It Colour Blending Card, masked her legs and stamped the Make It Crafty Spring Pebble Ground. I then decided to add a few branches to fill the upper space of the scene and used my Make It Crafty Spring Branch three times. Please note, these two Make It Crafty stamps are available as single stamps or as part of the Spring Garden Collection Set, a must have to create scenes. I added a sentiment from the Tiddly Inks Beach Babe Stamp Set.

Special offers and New Make It Crafty stamps!

Hello everyone! Have you seen all the special offers at the store, valid until tonight? And what about all the Make It Crafty stamps that have just been released? Lots of rubber happiness, with new characters and new backgrounds and even an exclusive stamp at Quixotic Paperie! I picked the super cute Sarah today, she is already one of my favourites for birthday cards!

One of the joys of rubber stamps is that you can stamp on absolutely any paper you want, so I went for a very dark blue card. I stamped Sarah in Versafine Onyx Black and coloured her with my Polychromos. I only added two little swirls in two corners, stamped with white ink. Very simple! 

You still have time to take advantage of all the special offers valid until tonight - 30% off Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, 10% off The Greeting Farm, Some Odd Girl, SCACD and Make It Crafty including the new stamps! Enjoy! 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day! Hugs,

A Make It Crafty Garden and an Anya!

Hello everyone! It's hot and the sun is shining here, so time for "summery spring" inspiration! I have combined some of my favourite Make It Crafty background stamps with an Anya by The Greeting Farm for a little scene in Copics...

I used Spring Branch by Make It Crafty - available as a single stamp or as part of the Spring Garden Collection stamp set - and Make It Crafty Garden Fence. I coloured my background with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card, and on another piece of card, I stamped an Anya by The Greeting Farm, from the Miss Anya Summer set which includes three adorable Anyas. I cut her out and put her on foam squares. I added a sentiment and a Make It Crafty Mini Butterfly Chipboard colored in acrylic paint.

Take Flight!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I am back with a simple Fairy scene today combining Copics and watercolour, Some Odd Girl and Make It Crafty stamps!

I stamped Fairy In Flight by Some Odd Girl on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured her with Copics. On watercolour paper, I stamped Make It Crafty Petals And Palings - a fence I love because of its shape, perfect to add something in the middle. I coloured all the background using watercolours. I then cut out my fairy and put her on thin foam squares. I stamped one of the sentiment, coming from the same Fairy In Flight set and also added a little cloud from the set, stamped in white ink. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely Sunday! Hugs,

A Make It Crafty Portrait

Hello everyone! Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies celebrating today! I'm back with a gorgeous lady for the occasion by Make It Crafty!

So this lady is Anastasia by Make It Crafty and I think it is one of the most beautiful portraits available as stamp.

My scene is coloured with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card.

After Ellie, meet Chloe!

Hello everyone! I am back to share some more Tiddly Inks inspiration today, this time with the second totally new character of the release - the adorable Chloe! There are three different sets with Chloe and I have chosen to use two of them, to make a little scene.

This super cute Chloe is from the Chloe and Her Friends Set, so is the sentiment, and the mushroom and Chloe's two Friends are from the Chloe Darkwing set. They are different elements, you can use only the mushroom if you like, or just one animal... which is what I like - you can have fun and combine them the way you want! 

My scene is coloured with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card and I have added a punched border and a Make It Crafty Chipboard from the Love Heart Swirls Set. There are still a few chipboard sets available, but these are the very last... once they're gone, they're gone!

Stop and Smell the Flowers...

Hello everyone! Spring is not here yet but I am already completely in spring mode. I have flowers and sunshine in mind and the store is full of beautiful spring stamps, so I could not resist making a little scene combining a very fresh Some Odd Girl stamp and my favourite Make It Crafty Spring background... and combining watercolours and Copics.

I stamped Smell The Flowers Tia with Adirondack Cloudy Blue Ink, masked her, then stamped my Make It Crafty Tree Of Love to create a no line scene. I did not try to render the tiniest details but kept the main elements of course, and I coloured the background with watercolours and used my Copics for the adorable Tia. I also used a little bit of white acrylic paint on the cloud. Here is a close up of the scene:

Tia: Skin: E0000, 000, 00, 02, 11

Hair: E49, 55, 59

All Roads Lead Home at Christmas

Hello everyone! December is here... So are you ready for Christmas? Well, if you are like me, you are still frantically making Christmas cards... I have another one to share today, featuring Make It Crafty and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (which are 30% off!) this time.

For the background, I used two stamps from the Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds collection (available as a set or individually) - Little Village and Winter Fence - very convenient since you don't even need to mask them to make your scene. I stamped Joy by Kraftin' Kimmie on Make It Colour Blending Card as well, cut her out and put her on foam squares. I coloured everything with my Copics and added the sentiment which comes with Joy. In the corner, I added a Make It Crafty Chipboard - a Delicate Snowflake, coloured with Copics and glittered.

That's all from me today! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Hugs

Warm Wishes

 

Hello everyone! I'm here to share some more wintry inspiration today, with a simple scene combining one of my favourite Make It Crafty winter backgrounds and a cute Anya by The Greeting Farm.

I stamped my Anya from the Greeting Farm Miss Anya Rain Snow Shine set onto Make It Colour Blending Card, masked her, then stamped the Make It Crafty Winter Seat (available individually here or in the Winter Backgrounds Collection Set). I coloured my scene with my Copics and added a sentiment from another Greeting Farm set called Keep Cozy - I only used the sentiment but this "old" set includes the most adorable snowmen, simply perfect for quick CAS cards.

The DPs are from the Echo Park Very Merry Christmas pack and I added a Make It Crafty Snowflakes Chipboard, as I like doing on my winter cards. There are lots of different MiC snowflakes chipboard still available from the store, but remember, once they are gone, they're gone!

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 23

Hair: E08, 17, 29, Y11, YR24

Outfit: E40, 41, 42, 44, 47, 49, R35, 37, 39, 89, W0, 1, 3, 5

Winter's Night

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today with some Sunday inspiration. But first, to celebrate the reopening of the store, there are some fantastic special offers - at least 10% off everything, 40% off Whimsy Stamps, MFT are 25% off, Kraftin' Kimmie 20% off... A great time to go shopping:)! 

For my card today, I have used a Gorjuss Girl stamp combined to a Make It Crafty background to make a winter card. I really like how adding just one background element can really "change" the image.

I stamped The Winter's Night Gorjuss Girl stamp onto Make It Colour Blending Card, masked it and then stamped a Make It Crafty Pine Tree from the Winter Backgrounds Collection (available as a Collection or as individual stamps) and coloured my image with Copics. I added a Greeting Farm sentiment from the Sparkling Season set and a Make It Crafty Chipboard - a Snowflake Star - covered in acrylic paint and stickles.

Copics used:
Sky: B34, 37, 39
Snow: C0, 1, 3

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here with a little Fairy Scene today, combining Make it Crafty backgrounds and Tiddly Inks stamps!

For this scene, I have used the super cute fairy from the Tiddly Inks Thanks Fairy Much clear stamp set with one of the sentiments included, and two Make It Crafty backgrounds- Petals And Palings and Peaches of Plenty. My scene is coloured with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card.

I hope you like it! Thank you very much for your visit! Hugs
