Cool Friend

Hi all,

Another wet and gloomy day here for me! After having the wedding, I now have lots of people's addresses in our family so now my plan is to send them all cards for Christmas - I am stockpiling! Today's card was made for new brand Strawberry Moon Designs...

I went for a clean and simple look with a splash of colour (pun not intended!). For this card I used the Strawberry Moon Designs (by Sue Taylor) Penguin Pals Stamp Set. I coloured all the images and cut them out. I created the ink splash with Salty Ocean Distress Ink spritzed with water. I embossed the sentiment in white onto black card, which is from the Christmas Sentiment Stamp Set. I added a strip of striped paper and a couple of enamel dots using Nuvo Drops. Strawberry Moon Designs Stamps will be launching on Create & Craft soon but in the meantime you can purchase them on the Facebook shop.

Supplies;

Strawberry Moon Designs Stamps - Penguins, Christmas Sentiments.

MFT Paper Pad - Black & White Stripes

Distress Ink - Salty Ocean

Nuvo Drops - Ebony Black

Copic Markers

Wow Embossing Powder

Versamark Ink

Thanks for popping by and I will be back with more creations soon.

Disney In Nature

 Today I am sharing a couple of cards that I made using one of the latest Disney Kits from Create & Craft. I was so happy that they decided to do this range as it had various characters in rather than just based on one character - I hope they do more like this...

For both these cards I used Disney Be In Nature Collection. I used the Papers, Dies and Colourful Creations Pad from this new collection. I love the sort of sketchy way these have been designed. I mounted everything onto light kraft card. I added some ribbon, lace,  die cut border and pearls.

Supplies;

Create & Craft Disney Be In Nature - A4 Paper Pack, Thumper Die, Simba and Nala Die

M&C Dies - Borders

Kraft Card

Ribbon & Lace

Adhesive Pearls

I stamped lightly over the top using MFT Brush Splatter Stamp and gently embossed it to create a vintage background.

Finally I added a strip of stripe washi ta,e some card and sentiment from the stamp set.

Hummingbirds

Hi all,

Today I am sharing something a bit different. I have loved Anna Marie Designs products for many years and I have quite a collection of her products. I don't often get the chance to play with them as much as I'd like to but this week I set aside some time to create a card with them. This is one heavy embellished card, maybe I should put it into a frame instead...

So I used lots of products on this card mostly from Anna Marie Designs. All the papers and images are from the Garden Bloom Lilac Paper Pad. I cut out some of the flowers and hummingbirds from the background papers so it all coordinated. I also used the Garden Bloom Post Cards & Tags. I distressed all the papers using my Tim Holtz Tonic Distress Tool and dabbed around the edges with some white paint. I used the Anna Marie Designs Bloom Flower Die to create the flowers and I added some pearls to the centres. I added some Nuvo Glitter onto painted mdf letters. I added some lace, ribbon with jewels, white lace material and natural fiber.

Supplies;

Anna Marie Designs Paper Pad - Garden Bloom Lilac

Anna Marie Designs Postcards & Tags - Lilac

Anna Marie Designs Dies - Bloom Flower

Wooden Letters

Nuvo Glitter Drops

Tonic Distress Tool

Natural Fibre

Voile Fabric

Pearl Embellishments
