Christmas Launch Sneak Peek no.2 - Lili of the Valley DT!

                 Good Afternoon!
I'm a little late in posting this, yesterday I had a migraine and then this morning I tested positive for Covid so it's safe to say I haven't felt my best recently lol  

As I mentioned in my previous post, next Tuesday at 12 noon LOTV will be showing their new Christmas launch over on Create & Craft TV! The collection includes 6 A5 Stamp sheets and today's card is using one of the designs from the Christmas Gnomes sheet.
Don't worry though they will be available over on their etsy store the week after on the 9th of August, however these designs will only be released as stamp sheets, not digi's.

Today's card is showcasing another of the designs, this time from the Penguins sheet. This time I have used a non traditional colour scheme of sage green and purple, I think it works!
Really annoyingly though I realised just after photographing the card that I'd forgotten to add the frantage to my image for the snow effect lol

INGREDIENTS -
LOTV '002 Snow Cute' Stamp Sheet
Tim Holtz Sentiments Dies
Maja Design Paper
Doodlebug Sequin

Winter Wonderland

          Good Morning!
We're in the middle of a heatwave right now in the UK and how did I spend it yesterday? Making a Christmas card obviously! I'm really not a fan of hot weather as it causes pressure headaches and migraines so I spent yesterday afternoon hiding in the craft room. I won't lie I can't wait for Wednesday to arrive when this heatwave should be over lol 

Today's card is using another design by Mel Jens Designs that I came across whilst transferring my digi's, yet again I've embraced the Clean & Simple style!

INGREDIENTS -
Penguin Digi Stamp by Mel Jens Designs
Christmas Words by Tim Holtz Sizzix
Tree Digi by Magnolia

A Happy Panda!

         Good Morning!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned, it's set to be a scorcher where we are in the UK! I'm not the biggest fan of heat so after pottering around at either the allotment or in the garden early this morning and probably tomorrow I'l more than likely be sheltering from the heat the rest of the day lol

In my previous post I mentioned that I'd been transferring all of my Digi's across to my laptop, well today's card is using one of the designs that I came across which I hadn't seen for years! In fact I don't even think the digi company are still going which is sad :( So this card was simply made for fun!

July Challenge - Creative Inspirations!

        Good Morning!

Today's card is for our new challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS which is 'Summer Sun!' 
Last week I finally got around to transferring all of my Digital Stamps across from my old laptop to my current one which meant I had also a bit of a stroll down memory lane whilst looking at the designs. I was quite surprised to see so many names of companies that are no longer with us anymore :( 
However I did come across this Sunflower digi which I bought a year or so ago and couldn't wait to ink it up!

Sunflower Digi by Power Poppy
Embellishments and Ribbon from stash

July Challenge - Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

        Good Morning!

It's the first Saturday of the month so it's time for a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. This months challenge is 
'Anything Goes or Spots and/or Stripes!'
I played along with the Spots aspect of the challenge as you can see that there are some amongst the design paper design, stamped image (the pooch) and of course by adding a single embellishment in the top left corner. I have used one of my wooden PB Stamps that I don't think has seen ink in over 10 years! In fact I think it was one of the first that I bought when I first started cardmaking.

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamps
Magnolia Papers
Star Embellishment from Prima & Ribbon from stash
Gold Doodlebug Sprinkles
