Tiddly Inks Fab Friday - My Last Design Team Post

Hello and good morning....

 

Sob...Sob...Sob!!!

Well today is my last official Design Team card for Tiddly Inks and I'm soooo sad :(
I've had a fabulous time on the uber talented DT, and had the pleasure of working with Christy's amazing images. Thank you to all the girls over at Tiddly Inks I've had a fab time and you never know I might be back in the future...mwah!!!

Good luck to the new interim Design Team (when you're appointed) I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time.
  

 So onto my last Tiddly Inks Fab Friday creation for you - I decided to use the ever so pretty Wryn digi stamp called 'Wryn-The BBQ Queen', which makes a great summer card...well if we'd actually had a summer that it. I actually gave this card to a friend who was kind enough to make my hubbie and I a fabulous BBQ lunch last Sunday. I used green for my colour theme as her living room and kitchen were super modern and all in lime green so I knew I couldn't go wrong really. Lol! The 'Thank you' sentiment was for both my friend, Christy and the Design Team.

 

 

 

Here's What I Did

1 used a white scalloped 5" x 7" card base which I matted with some green card.  I printed my image directly onto some colouring card stock, die cut it into a rectangle and coloured it with Copic pens.

Next I printed my sentiment directly onto my patterned paper and die cut it into a rectangle shape, and cut 2 strips off. The finished image and the strips were all added to the card base. Then to finish off I added a few die cut buttons, a pearl, crystal drops and a few punched out butterflies.

Here's what I Used

Sugar Nellie Design Team Card - Make A Wish

- Hello Sugar Fans -

Good morning, well I hope the weather is better where you are, because it's pretty rubbish in my part of the UK. That'll teach me to buy new garden furniture...Sob!!

Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie card with you.  This week I thought I would bring a little bit of fairy magic into your life - so for my card I used the fabulous 'Make A Wish' digital stamp from Funkykits. I just think she's such a pretty little thing, and I've been wanting to use her for ages but never actually got around to it. I also got to use some texture paste for the first time....I love it!

 

 

Here's What I Did
I used a 6" x 6" scallop card blank and matted it with deep blue card.  Firstly I printed my image directly onto some lemon card and die cut it into a circle, this was then stencilled with stars using glittery texture paste which gave it a pretty raised effect. When the paste was dry I matted it onto a blue die cut circle and added it to my card base, along with a blue stencilled strip.

I printed the image again onto my colouring cardstock and I coloured it with Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out, this was then added on top of the lemon circle and attached to my card base. To finish off I added glitter to her wand and wings, and added a few die cut buttons with a gem.

Here's What I Used

Digi Stamp: 'Make A Wish' from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Craftwork Super Smooth Digital CS, Topsy Turvy CS, Lemon CS
Copics: Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E02 / Hair - YR0000, YR000, YR00, E13, E18, E99, E37 / Dress & Shoes - B0000, B000, B00, BG01, BG72 / Wings - B000, B00, RV00, RV02, RV04 / Wand - Y00, Y006, Y08, Y17

Handmade Bliss Inspiration Card - Smarty Cat

-- Good morning everyone --
 

Hellooo, I'm here again showcasing one of my card using some of the many products you can find in the Handmade bliss store - check out the link below.

This week I decided to play with this gorgeous little character from Stamping Bella, it's called 'Smarty Cat'....don't you just love the glasses lol. I made her into a purrfect girly cat but you could quite easily made her into a Tom. All the Stamping Bella stamps are pre-mounted and stamps beautifully and cleanly.

 Here's What I Did

I used a 5" x 5" scalloped card base which I matted with some blue card and patterned paper.  I stamped my images and the sentiment onto some white colouring card, and then using a Copic Fineliner pen I joined the ball of wool to the sentiment.  The scene was then die cut into a circle along with a blue mat. I coloured the image with Copic pens and added a little distressing ink for the sky. A border strip was made from blue card using a punch and die and this was attached to the card base along with the coloured topper.

To finish off I added a stamped out tag, glossy accents to the cat's glasses and a few pearls at the bottom of the card.

Sugar Nellie - Autumn Girl

- Hello Sugar Fans -

Yoo hoo, it's good to see you again! Well it's Wednesday and Sugar Nellie day, and my turn to share a card with you.  So this week I thought I would make something very girly and glittery for you. This gorgeous 'All Dressed Up' stamp is called 'Autumn Girl' and she's available as a digital stamp from Funkykits.  I just think she's gorgeous, there's more of the 'All Dressed Up' digital stamps available to download in store. 

 

Here's What I Did
I used a 6" x 6" scallop card blank and matted it with deep blue card. I printed my image directly onto my colouring cardstock and I coloured it with Copic Markers, to add a little background I added various sized dots and added some sequins.

I then die cut 2 frames and 2 mounts in both blue and pink CS and layered them up. Using the left over squares from the frames I adhered some doubled sided sticky paper to them and die cut some flowers and leaves. I peeled off the backing paper and added some crystal glitter - these were added to my frames as embellishments. To finish off I added a few gems.

Tiddly Inks Challenge - Paws For Thought!

 - Good Morning Tiddly Inkers -

Hi everyone, I'm here to share my Design Team card with you for this week's Tiddly Inks Challenge #163. Our fab theme this week is 'Paws For Thought!' so grab your Tiddly Inks animal stamp (anything that has paws of course!) and join in with us.

For my card this week I used the gorgeous digital stamp called Wryn - Thank You Beary Much (grab it now it's only a $1 in the store). I've been dying to use it in a project for ages and well I thought teddies have paws so this theme is perfect.

I couldn't resist paper piecing her comfy chair and decoupaging everything else....I really wanted the teddies and Wryn to pop. I won't lie it did take me a while to print, colour and cut everything out, but I'm really happy with the result. I hope you like it :)

 

Here's What I Did

I used a 7" x 7" white card base which I matted with lilac card. Using my computer software I printed the image 4 times directly onto my colouring card stock, coloured sections I needed with Copic pens then fussy cut them all out.  The full image was printed again onto 2 different patterned papers and cut out. All the pieces where glued into page but I added foam tape behind Wryn and one of the bears to give dimension, to bring the bears to life I used glossy accents on their eyes and noses.

The finished panel was glued to a die cut scalloped square and added to the card base using foam pads. To finish off I added a touch of glitter and a few stamped and die cut paw prints, along with a die cut heart.

Here's what I Used
Digital Image: Wryn - Thank You Beary Much from Tiddly Inks
Stamp: MFT Die-namics  'From My Heart'
Cardstock (CS): Lilac, Aqua & Purple CS, Neenah Colouring CS, LOTV 'Promises' Paper Pad
Copics:  Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20 / Hair - X1, C2, C3, C5, C7, 100 / Bears & Chair Legs - E00, E11, E15, E21, E25. E29 / Shading - V00, V01, V04, BG000, BG10, BG13 / Ground - W1
Dies: Crealies XXL 'Stitched' Square, MFT Die-namics 'From My Heart', Memory Box 'Cross Stitched Hearts', Spellbinders Grand 'Scallop Squares'

Here's What I Did

I used a cut down sheet of A3 card for my white card base which I matted and layered with patterned paper. Using another piece of the white card I die cut it into a rectangle and then die cut into the centre using an oval die to create a frame. I laid the frame onto my patterned paper and stamped my image on top and removed the frame (this was for placement later).

The image was stamped again onto colouring card stock, coloured with Copic pens and fussy cut out. I die cut a selection of clouds borders from vellum and glued these behind my frame and added the frame to my card base. I attached the girl and balloons to the card directly over the top of the stamped image that I did earlier, I used foam tape behind the top of the balloons to add a little dimension.

To finish off I added white dots and clear glitter to some of the balloons, scattered a few sequins around the sky and added a few gloss dots at the corners.

Here's What I Used
 

Other items used are from my crafty stash: White Card, LOTV Patterned Paper, Vellum, White Pen, Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, Foam Tape, Copic Pens, Sequins, Crealies XXL Dies, Crystal Gloss Dots.
