Lili Of The Valley - A Year Of Flowers

 Good Morning

There is some new stamp polymer launching over at Lili Of The Valley towers on advanced order. There's a combination of flower tags, recipe tags, and vases of flower and they're all very pretty - I will link to them below. 

The stamp collection I've used today is called 'A Year Of Flowers' and they come as a duo pack of A5 polymer stamps. They are available as advanced order in the LOTV Etsy store, and will be shipped from the 2nd June. I'm in the process of creating a desktop calendar and have included a month to a page display with the flower tags stamped along side it. The tags were coloured using distress re-inkers. I will be working on the last 6 months of tags later this week, then I will be ready to put the calendar together. So watch this space.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I designed the layout in MS Publisher to included monthly pages with space to stamp the appropriate monthly tag. The calendar pages were printed onto mixed media card and die cut with a 5" x 7" die. The flower tag were stamped, then coloured with distress re-inkers. The finished pages were punched with my Cinch machine. I constructed the built-in stand from strong 300gsm card and punched holes in the top of that, to complete the calendar Cinch wire was added to join everything together.

Lili Of The Valley - Cute Elephant #4

Hi there

If you live in the UK, I hope you enjoyed your May Bank Holiday. I'd love to say the weather was great here in the north East...but as usual is was rubbish! Anyhow back to cardmaking. Lol

I'm back to share the last of my Lili Of The Valley 'Cute Elephant' cards. For today's card I used 'Balloon - Elephant' and coloured her up using pastel pencils again. I hope you enjoyed the preview of all the gorgeous little characters. For all the cards I've made over the past few days I used the polymer stamps and might I say the elephants are quite large, but there will be digital versions of the stamps if you prefer to resize them or flip them - the links will be added this week.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I covered the front of a 5" x 7" card blank with dotty lilac paper. The sentiment was printed onto pastel colouring card first, then the elephant was stamped with black ink just below it and die cut into a rectangle. The scene was coloured with various pastel pencils, and mounted onto a lilac mat. The topper was glued flat onto the front of the card. To finished the card I added a few pearls around the sentiment. 

FYI - I used a paper stump to blend the pencils and a fixative spray to stop the pencils from smearing.

Lili Of The Valley - Cute Elephants #3

Good Afternoon

Hi there, I'm back again with my 3rd Lili Of The Valley card highlighting another of the new 'Cute Elephant stamps. As mentioned the collection will be available as both polymer and digi stamps and will be available in the LOTV Etsy store later this week. The stamps are a real joy to work with and colour up. 

So for today's card I used 'Dreaming Elephant' and coloured her up using distress re-inkers and pencils. I will be sharing the last of my cards using 'Balloon Elephant' which I've coloured up using pastel pencils again, later today, I hope you like them all so far.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I cut to size a piece of pretty dotted paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6"scalloped card blank, leaving a slim border around the edges. I stamped the elephant and sentiment onto mixed media card, and coloured it using distress re-inkers and pencils. When the image was dry I die cut it into a circle, then matted it onto a pink fancy frame. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper, and then glued to the centre of the card front. To finish I added a little glitter to the flowers, and a few pink pearls to the bottom of the card.
