Lili Of The Valley - Oh So Mice #2

Afternoon Friends

Today I'm sharing the last of my cards using the new October release from Lili Of The Valley. The new collection included a mice, cats and dogs set which are now available in their Etsy store (see links on each of my recent posts) as well as Create and Craft.com. 

For my card today I used the 'Oh So Mice' stamp set, my card could easily be used for many different occasions eg birthday, baby, baby shower or simply to say hi.

 

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

Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of blue dotty patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6"card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. A pretty circle doily shape was die cut from white card and glued flat to the front of the card. 

A small circle was cut from white and blue distress ink was added in the centre, then mounted onto a blue scalloped mat. The mouse was stamped in black ink onto colouring cardstock, coloured with Copic pens and fussy cut out.  The mouse was glued onto the circle topper, along with a few glittered stars and clouds. Funky foam was added to the back of the circle topper and added to the centre of the doily circle. To complete the card, blue pearls were added to the bottom of the card.

Lili Of The Valley - Oh So Mice #1

 Afternoon My Friends

Today I'm sharing one of my cards highlighting the new mice stamps from Lili Of The Valley. There are 8 mice and a balloon in the A5 'Oh Mice' stamp set plus a few sentiments. They are available from Create & Craft.com atm (link below) but will be added to the LOTV Etsy store very soon. For today's card I used one of the sweet mice with a cosmic sky backdrop. I hope you like it. The links to the stamps will be added once they are stocked in the Etsy shop.  

 

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

Here's What I Did & Used

First, I created 3 black frames from 2 arch dies (using a large arch die and a slightly smaller one inside and taping them together). I glued the frame shapes together (to give it depth) and added it to the front of a black 5" x 7" top fold card font. I die cut another arch shape from white card using the smaller of the 2 dies. I created a cosmic sky on the white arch card using distress ink (see the colours and order applied in the 'Other's section). To add a little more interest to the sky I used white shimmer ink through a starry sky stencil, than added splashes of white paint over everything. I inserted the shape inside the frame. 

Using the smaller arch die I cut out the shape again from white card, then cut of the top section with a curved hill die. I applied distress ink to the shape to give the illusion of a hilltop. The hillside was glued on top of the background inside the frame. 

The cute little mouse was stamped onto white colouring cardstock, coloured with Copic pens in grey tones and fussy cut out. The mouse was then stuck on the top of the hillside, inside the frame. To finish the card, I added die cut words ' Dream Big' 3 times, glued them together and added black glitter over the top. When dry the sentiment was glued in place in the sky.

Amanda Jayne Designs - Halloween Cuties Bundle

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest card using one of Amanda Jayne Designs images.  For my card today I used cute little dragon from the 'Halloween Cuties Bundle' - the bundle includes 8 character digi stamps and 32 digital papers. Daisy the dragon was coloured with Copic pens and added to a 3D haunted house card base with flying bats.

For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.

Using my Silhouette cutting machine design software I created a card base for the haunted house cutting file I had already had; everything was cut out along with an orange background to go behind the house. Using a couple of Copic pens I added extra colour to the door and windows. A couple of bats were also cut out using the cutting machine, and acetate strips were attached to the back of them

The black cut out house and orange background were stuck to the card front, with the bat acetate strips inserted in between them. To finish the card both the sentiment and dragon were added to the card front.

As I mentioned in my previous post the new sets include - Little Ghosts, Hello Pumpkin, Cute Witches, Spooky Silhouettes, Halloween Gnomes and Autumn Sentiment Tags. 

For my cards today I used the 'Little Ghosts' stamp set again, I love these little ghosts as they're a lovely size -approx 2"-2½" high, and so easy to colour up. I decided to create a couple of Halloween party invites as they're really good for batch making. I used Prismacolor pencils and grey card designed for pastel pencils, to give them a little texture.

Next the cute ghosts and a couple of sentiments were stamped onto grey card and die cut using a square die. The images were then coloured up using Prismacolor pencils, and finally mounted onto fancy edged black die cut squares. The completed toppers were glued to the front of the card blanks. Glossy accents was added to all the eyes on both cards to make them shine. 

To finish the cards, I added die cut black stars and a little glitter to the pumpkin and wand.

Lili Of The Valley - Little Ghosts

CARD #1

Here's What I Did & Used

The process was the same on both cards. I stamped the cute ghosts and a sentiment onto colouring cardstock at different angles. When everything was stamped, it was die cut with a rectangle die, and in some cases the ghosts had a little cropped off to add a little extra interest. The images were coloured using Copic pens using only 2 colourways on each card including a little grey. The scenes were then mounted onto a black die cut rectangle and then onto their respective colour mats - either purple or orange. 

The completed toppers were mounted onto 5" x 7" top fold black card blanks. Glossy accents was added to all the eyes on both cards to make them shine. To finish the cards, I added die cut stars and glitter to all the main focal points. 

Polymer Stamp Set: Little Ghosts

Copics Pens: Ghosts - C1, C2 / Accessories - YG01, YG03, YG17, E31, E35, C2, C3, C5, C7, Y15, Y17, YR07, YR15, YR16, V12, V15, V17

Here's What I Did & Used

I stamped the cute witch and a sentiment onto colouring cardstock and die cut with a square die. The image was stamped again onto masking paper and fussy cut out, the mask was placed over the top of the witch and her moon. I added distressing inks all over the paper to create the sky (see the list below), then splash a little water over it. To add a little more interest I watered down some white and black chalk paint, then splashed a little over the sky area as well. I did add a few extra dots using a black and white pen. I repeated the inky process again to create a sheet of galaxy paper which I trimmed down add to the front of a black card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

Once everything was dry the paper mask was removed from the witch/moon, and it was coloured using Copic pens. The scene was then mounted onto a black die cut square and funky foam was glued to the back. The complete topper was glued to the card front. To finish the card, I added a few die cut stars and a little glitter to the wand.

Amanda Jayne Design - Chloe Christmas Bundle

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest card using one of Amanda Jayne Designs images.  I used a fabulous Christmas bundle called 'Chloe Christmas Collection' - the bundle includes 49 digital elements such as Chloe in different poses, papers, wreaths and frames. Chloe the cow was coloured with Copic pens, the green wreath was pre-coloured. (For sale - £4.50 + P&P - requests by email please)  

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did

I imported the wreath and Chloe with her little wreath, along with a sentiment from my digi stash into my software program. I resized all the images collectively to fit my project. I printed out everything onto Copic friendly card, then coloured it up using my pens. The completed scene was die cut into a square and matted onto green scalloped card. To finish the card, I added red gems and glitter around the wreath.

Lili Of The Valley - Snow Globes

Hi everyone

Today I'm sharing the last of my sneaky peaks of the new Lili Of The Valley Christmas polymer stamps launching this Saturday (10th) at the Crafterama event in Harrogate. The stamps will then be available in the  LOTV Etsy shop on the 12th September.

For my 2 cards today I've used the fabulous 'Snowglobes' stamps. The set includes an empty snowglobe and 6 images to going inside plus a load of sentiments, obviously the images and the sentiments can be used independently of the snow globe if you wish. I have included the details for each individual card for your information. All the links will be added after I return from my holiday, but don't forget you can simply go to the LOTV Etsy Store to and search under the polymer stamps listing from the 12th Sept onwards. I hope you like them.

CARD #1 - Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of red card and attached it to the front of a DL white card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. A white scalloped rectangle was glued flat onto the card front.

I die cut a rectangle of the same red card and stamped snowflakes all over it using white ink, and going off the edge in certain places. When it was dry this was glued into the centre of the white rectangle. 

The snow globe and house was stamped onto Copic friendly card, coloured with Copic pens and fussy cut out. Two empty snow globes were stamped onto card and then fussy cut out slightly smaller than the image, these were glued to the back of the coloured version to add a little extra dimension. The finished snow globe was added to the bottom section of the card. Glitter was added to the snow in the scene.

To finish the card a festive sentiment was die cut twice and stacked up, then added to the top of the card along with a few sequins. 

Polymer Stamp Set: 'Snow Globes' - to be added

Copic Pens: Snow Globe Base - E31, E33, E35, E37 / Background - B0000, B000 / House - R17, R37, E31, E33, E35, B0000, B000, BG10, BG11 / Trees - YG03, YG17, YG67 / Snow - BG10, BG11

CARD #2 - Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of blue Christmas patterned paper and attached it to the front of a 6" x 6" white card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. A die cut festive frame was glued flat in the centre. 

The snow globe and snowman scene were stamped onto Copic friendly card, and coloured with Copic pens, then die cut into a square. The fished scene was matted onto a blue scalloped frame. Funky foam was added to the back of the topper and glued into the centre of the white festive frame.  To finish the card I added a little glitter and a few pearls.
