Little Maya

Hi Everyone,

It's Friday and it's been a hot week, not that I realise that until it's hometime, as I am lucky to be in an airconditioned office.  The weekend is predicted to be nice too, woo hooo, although to be honest there's lots of jobs needing doing around the house, but you just can't when you get a weekend of fabulous weather predicted, can you?

Don't forget Nikki at BunnyZoe currently has the Marianne Design Dies on sale at the moment and I have used one of the MD leaves dies, always handy to have.

My card today features the gorgeous Wee Stamps by Whimsy Stamps, I sooooo love these cute little images.  Her name is Maya and you can find find her HERE.

The papers are from the New Bebunni Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  So as you can see not just for Christmas but there are some gorgeous papers in there that match the new Bebunni stamp range.

Here's a close up of Maya, she's coloured in distress inks, which you can purchase from BunnyZoe HERE.  Nikki carries the pads, markers and re-inkers, so a one stop shop.

The Lace, Pink trim and flowers, twine, pearl are from The Ribbon Girl

The Edging is a Noor Design by Joycraft Border Die.

The wooden chicken wire/honeycomb is from Dutchdoobadoo

The Prima Tap, cheesecloth and white gesso to paint the chicken wire are from Live and Love Crafts

Have a good weekend.

Emily

Hello Everyone,

Oh I have a lovely image today for you called "Emily" by Whimsy Stamps and I decided I wanted Emily's swing to swing through the Marianne Design Birds Pergola.  I cut out the image and added some twine as the swing rope.

I have also used the Marianne Design Collectables Garden Set CR1346.  You can see the garden sign on the left hand side and the spade and fork to the right.

The paper is by Magnolia and many are on sale right now at BunnyZoe, the paper shown through the Pergola is the new Marianne Design release Belle Fleu paper bloc.

Flowers are all available from Live and Love Crafts.

Rowan Fairy

Hi Everyone,

I have a gorgeous image to share with you today by Sylvia Vet of Whimsy Stamps, she is called Rowan Fairy and is so so beautiful.  I love Sylvia's images. She is due into stock on Monday at BunnyZoe, so if you want to ensure you get one, pop on over here to pre-order.  She sold out as quick as she came in last time so this is a re-stocks that Nikki is expecting in, so if you want to ensure you get to colour her up for Christmas, pre-order is the way to go.

The papers are by MME called Vintage Christmas 6x6.  The star banner is a die by Whiff of Joy called
Stars Festoon.

Flatback pearls have been added to the centres of the snowflakes.

The green gingham ribbon is wired and will do what it's told, lol.  The large red flower is a Ruffle Rose and the text is  Christmas Sentiments by Kaisercraft.

It isn't showing up well in the photo but her wings have a coating of Diamond Stickles

The lampost is a magnolia doohickey die called Paris Night Dies.

Sweet Sparkle

Morning,

Well I thought I was in for a good night's sleep last night as it had finally cooled down but I was wrong, been awake on and off all night, I know what will happen....... I won't want to wake up in the morning to go to work, but then again only this week to go and I have two weeks off, bliss.

Today is my DT card for BunnyZoe and a guest DT for the Colour Challenge for the fabulous Ribbon Girl, thank you Mary and Andrea, loved making this card.  All links to all the products used in both stores are as usual at the end of this post, just click on the thumbnail to be taken directly to the product.

Here's the photo for the inspirational colour challenge, yum, one of my favourite colour combo's, but yes I know I have soooo many, but I think this one might just top my list.

So, just look at what I came up with using this darling Whimsy Stamp called Sweet Sparkle by Sylvia Vet, love Sylvia's designs.  I have coloured with distress markers. I have been struggling to actually get a decent picture and I have to say that the card looks so much better in reality, one of my favourite cards.

The text is from a Kaisercraft set called Flora Delight and fitted perfectly in the Resin Cameo Frame.  Love this set as you can use the frames it comes with or just the text or both, so versatile.

The beautiful flowers are a combination from the Ribbon Girl and the silver one is from Prima's Natures Garden at BunnyZoe.

The postage stamps are froma Marianne Design Mail Around the World, love this set.  Love the new charms in at the Ribbon Girl, this one is called Daisy May with Flowers.

I have also added some new cards to my Etsy Shop HERE including this gorgeous one.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Esme

Morning,

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, isn't it hot hot hot here in the UK, almost makes me want to go to work to be in the air conditioning, lol.  My card for you today is completely the opposite of hot as the DT have been lucky enough to have been given some digi's from Crafts and Me to play with and I have taken the opportunity of getting ahead and made a Christmas Card using the image  Esme, and I certainly wouldn't mind a few snowflakes at the moment to cool me down.  Speaking of snowflakes, I used the Whimsy snowflake die to create the edges on this card and distressed with walnut stain distress ink.

I printed the image and embossed several  times using the ultra thick embossing powder.  I then bent it in several directions to create the cracking to give it that extra vintage look.  I stamped the Fronz text onto accetae using timber staz-on ink so that I could place it over the image.  A little shabby white frantage was added to the image and it worked well on top of the ultra thick embossing, so something else you could try with your frantage.

I have used Maja Design's Spirit and Inkido Forever Santa Christmas Music papers.

I added a Vintage Findings Pearl Centre to the poinsetta.

For the smaller poinsetta I have used the cream stamen for the centre. I also added some corrugated card and added some shabby white frantage and some fragments, you can just about see them in this picture.

As usual please click on the photo thumbnails at the bottom to the taken to the products.

Sweetest Flower Fairies

Morning Crafters,

Oh I have such a real cutie image or should I say images for you today, these are the flower fairies by Whimsy Stamps, aren't they sooooooo gorgeous.  I have used the Prima Fairy Rhymes 6x6 paper pad and combined with some Magnolia Hydrangea paper, love the result.

The wooden corners are wooden embellishments by Kaisercraft and I have added some shabby white frantage and a flat backed pearl.

The two tone paper blooms are beautiful and are also available at BunnyZoe. The lavendar spikey stamens and beaded twirl are available from The Ribbon Girl, and speaking of which the fabulous fairy door charm is also from The Ribbon Girl and was just the perfect accompaniment for these Flower Fairies.

The Stamp set comes complete with sentiments and I have used the "For You" on the Magnolia Doohickey Wrapped So Lovely tag.

A close up of the tag and fairy door.

Before I go BunnyZoe has 15% off the store, just click on the picture below to go shopping or click on the thumbnails for the products used to make this card.

Have a good weekend.
