Craft Consortium - Woodland Collection

 Hi everyone

I'm sharing a sneak peak of the new collection being launched by Craft Consortium (in partnership with Clare Therese Gray). If you loved the Noel, 'Circus' and 'Farm Meadow you will love this 'Woodland' collection. The collection is full of sweet animals and birds native to the Woodlands of the UK. The collection includes beautiful paper pads, stamp sets and embellishments. 

I'm sharing all 5 of the cards I made using the beautiful stamps and papers. The collection will be launched on Create & Craft TV tomorrow (1st December) at 12noon (GMT). The collection will also be available on the Craft Consortium website, and in good craft shops later in the week. You can watch Create & Craft on either a TV,  online via a device through or through their facebook page. I will add the product links after the launch.

This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. In the USA, it will be distributed by Notions Marketing. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches.

Lili Of The Valley - James & Jenny Bear #2

Hello again

Hi I'm back again with another new digi stamp from Lili Of The Valley, this time I opted for one of the cute James Bear images. The new stamps were released yesterday (12th November), and are now available to buy in the LOTV Etsy store. 

For my card today I used 'James With Heart Bouquet' and colour him with Copic pens; I teamed him up with a sentiment from the 'Mix 32 Sentiments' that was released earlier in the year. I hope you like him. 

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stampsand the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.


Here's What I Did
To start with I added a piece of pretty floral paper to the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. 

Using my graphics software I imported the sweet James bear stamps and 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 Copic pens and mounted onto a lemon scalloped die cut square. Funky foam was glued to the back of the topper and attached to the centre of the card front.  To finish the card I added glitter and a few pearls. 

Here's What I Used
Digital Stamp: James With Heart Bouquet

Copic Pens: Bear - E321, E33, E34, R20, R30 / Flowers, Leaves & Stalks - Y02, Y15,Y35, E29, E33 /  Bouquet Wrapping Paper - B0000, B000, B00, B02 / Ground - W0, W1, W2, W5

Lili Of The Valley - James & Jenny Bear #1

Hello everyone

I hope you're all doing ok and staying safe and well, and for those of you living in the UK I hope you're surviving the 2nd lockdown. As for myself, I'm keeping body and soul busy by crafting. :) To give you some light relief I'm back with some new Lili Of The Valley loveliness, in the form of James and Jenny Bears. The digi stamps are being released today (12th November) in the Etsy store. 

For my card today I chose ' Jenny Floral Border' and colour her with Copic pens. The link to the new stamp will be added after the launch. I hope you like her. (This card is available to buy in my Etsy store)

The image was printed directly onto colouring cardstock and die cut with doily circle die. The image was coloured in using Copic pens and mounted onto a pink scalloped die cut circle. Funky foam was glued to the back of the topper and attached to the centre of the card front on top of the white lacy frame. To finish the card I added glitter and a few pearls.
