Lili of the Valley Design Team - Just Married!

        Good Morning!
As many of you I'm sure will know, finding time to craft when you have a little one isn't that easy! However I seemed to be on a roll the other weekend when I managed the cards for my previous two posts and I even managed to throw in a third!
One of my friends got married last week so it wasn't the perfect opportunity to create something using one of the recent designs from LOTV.INGREDIENTS -

Creative Inspirations April Challenge & LOTV DT!

                 Good Morning!
This month's challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS is 'Easter/Spring!' 
This month the prize is from myself so the DT have all used images of their own choice for the challenge. This meant I was able to combine the challenge with making something with one of the new LOTV designs released last month. This design is called 'Bird House' and I kept the card sentiment free so that it could be adapted to a birthday / thank you card in the future if needed.INGREDIENTS -

   Good Morning!

I'm back today with a card using another of the Digi stamps from the latest release from LOTV ... a fabulous Christmassy bundle! I felt that this stamp was more suited to a clean & simple style so I kept the layers and embellies to a minimum.

Now remember that if you purchase this bundle between now and the 25th of December then you will also receive ALL of the LOTV Digi Stamps on the website ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's over 680 DIGI'S FOR FREE!
Equally if you purchase the Simply Prints version you will also receive ALL 460 Simply Prints for Free ... what more could you want for Christmas?!

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Cosy Penguin

 Good Morning!

Here's another card from me using an older design by LOTV which can still be purchased as both a Simply Print & Digi. I decided to make a layered card but not to add too many chunky layers from foam tape & embellishments as I wanted to see if it was still possible to make a layered card that could still be sent using a regular postage stamp ... it is.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - A Little Gift

            Good Evening!

Tonight's card is another one that I've made recently using an older design by LOTV ... this time however I have double checked and it is still available to buy from the online shop, both as a Digi and a Simply Print. I have used the Simply print version which is ideal for making cards in a hurry if you don't have time to colour.

           Good Morning!
Today's card is using an older design by LOTV which is sadly no longer available (although I didn't realise this until after I'd made the card).
I've paired it with some gorgeous new Maja Design papers due to the fact the cute characters are busy decorating their tree.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - The Biggest Cake!

             Good Morning!
I'm still churning out the birthday cards and today's card is one of those. In fact it is the other half's birthday this weekend and this is the card that I'm planning on giving him. I haven't used any floral embellishments with this in mind so I think it can just about pass for a male birthday card! lol
The stamp I've used is an older design by LOTV called 'The Biggest Cake'.

Today I just wanted to share one more card with you all, I'd had this image inked up for a week or so but hadn't had chance to make anything with it so thought I'd get something made this morning ... the first card to add to my 2024 stash!

Lili of the Valley Design Team - A Trio of Pugs!

 Good Morning!

I've still got a few more Christmassy creations left to share with you so I'm trying to get them all squeezed in before the big day, I can't believe it's less than a week away!

As you will know I haven't had time to make as many of my usual layered cards this year so when I was sending out my Christmas cards I made a few which were of a more C&S style. I do enjoy switching between the two styles as it's always fun to mix things up a little bit!

Today's post is sharing a trio of cards that I made using some pre-coloured images from LOTV, perfect for this style of crafting. 

I kept it simple by mounting them onto cardstock before adding to a 3x3 card blank and then finishing them off with some embellishments.

These designs can be bought as Digi's or Simply Prints if you click HERE.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Twinkling Star

            Good Morning!

Yes I'm still enjoying my gold theme but as you can see it's been jazzed up with some red on today's card lol. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Twinkling Star' and I've also used the shabby embossing powder again too on the main image.
The sentiment I've used is actually from the bottom edge border strip that goes along the bottom of 12x12 sheets, the sentiment was repeated 4 times and the perfect size to be cut up and used on cards!

           Good Morning!
Here's another card form me continuing with the Gold theme however this time I added a little bit of silver too. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Christmas Delivery'. 
You might spot as well on the cards that I've used the colour Gold on that I've also used a different embossing powder for the snow effect, the shabby white one which I've used today also has speckles of gold embossing powder and glitter in it too.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Angels with Crib

          Good Morning!

I haven't made as many Christmas cards as I'd of hoped by now so yesterday afternoon I had a bit of a card-making frenzy, something that hasn't happened in years and I must say I really enjoyed it!
One that I'd managed to make a couple of days earlier is today's card and it is using one of the older designs by LOTV called 'Angels with Crib'. For me the colour scheme just had to be Gold, there's just something about Gold cards too that seme to make them feel extra special at Christmas!

Today I'm sharing another card that I've made using the most recent release from LOTV.
