Hi everyone

In life there's nothing better than giving a gift to that someone special in your life, or for a special occasion, such a birthday, anniversary or Christmas etc. Well the new collection from Craft Consortium (in partnership with Helz Cuppleditch) echo this. The collection includes paper pads, 6 stamp sets and embellishments. The paper pad includes beautiful luxury paper, some of which are pearlised or have glossy accents.

So today I'm giving you a sneaky peak of the cards I created using the brand new collection, and will be featured on Create & Craft TV in the launched on Friday 31st July at 6.45am (GMT) and 2.45am (EST) live on Create & Craft TV. The artwork is sweet and the little scene are adorable and can be used for many celebrations. There is also another show at 1.30pm, and this will showcase the Polar Pal collection which I shared earlier this year. So make sure you set your TV planner to record so you don't miss them. 

Today I'm sharing all 6 of the cards I made using the fabulous stamps and papers. As soon as the collection has been launched I will add links to the products used. Here is the link for the 6 Polar Pals cards - Polar Playtime card #1, card #2,  card #3, card #4, and card #5.

Lil Of The Valley - 'Old but New' Stamps #2

Hi everyone 

I hope you're all keeping safe and healthy, and now starting to venture out. I've had some strange experiences over the past week, which really shouldn't be weird but just feel that way eg having my hair cut and coloured for the first time in 4 months, travelling in a car with my friend (be it with a face mask on) and going out for lunch. I have to admit to feeling pretty vulnerable and scared to start with, but felt happy that I did it. Anyhow make sure you continue to stay safe and healthy. x

Right, onto my card for today. The one I'm sharing with you was made using 2 previous launched digi stamps from Lili Of the Valley (LOTV). Both stamps were launched about a month ago and are available in their Etsy shop (link below). Today's card is a CAS one using the 'You Are My Sunshine' stamp, which I coloured with Prismacolor Pencils (no blender).

Here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps and products available, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

To start with I totally covered the front of a 6" x 6" card blank with some beige dotty paper.

Using my graphics software I imported the cute little bear image and a sentiment into it, then resized it to fit my project. The image was printed directly onto colouring cardstock and die cut into a square. The image was coloured in using pencils and mounted onto a brown scalloped die cut mat; funky foam was glued to the back and attached to the centre of the card front. White pen was added to the centres of the flowers.

To finish off I added a few gems to the bottom of the card.

Here's What I Used
Digital Stamp: You Are My Sunshine

Prismacolour Pencils:
Bear - White, Cream , Burnt Ochre, Sienna Brown, Terracotta, Light Umber, Crimson Lake / Flowers - White, Lemon Yellow, Canary Yellow, Spanish orange, Pale Vermilion, Goldenrod, Orange, Crimson Red / Stems & Leaves - White, Chartreuse, Lime Peel, Dark Green / Butterfly - White, Lemon Yellow, Yellowed orange, Pale Vermilion   

Other: 6" x 6" White Card Blank, Desert Storm Neenah Card, 'Lullaby' Paper Pad (Lemoncraft), Stitched Collection - Scalloped Square Dies (Creative Expressions), Brown Card, Gems, Glue, Double Sided Tape, Funky Foam
