Amanda Jane Designs - Little Witches

 Hi everyone

I'm with another of my (Guest Design Team) GDT card made using one of the digi stamps from Amanda Jane Designs (AJD) Today I have a lovely little witch for you, now I know we're a long way off to Halloween but it doesn't hurt to get ahead. :) So I'm sharing one of the witch digi stamps from the 'Little Witches' bundle, which I combined with my own sentiment and swirls. I used pastel pencils and coloured pencils to colour with. I hope you like it.

Here's What I Did
I trimmed down a sheet of Halloween paper to fit the front of a 5½" x 5" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. This was attached to the card front.

I imported the little witch into my software and resized her to fit my project and added my own typed sentiment. The image was printed onto mixed media cardstock, then die cut with a square die. The image was coloured with pastel pencils, then coloured pencils were added over the top for extra dimension. I added black dotted swirls with a fineliner and black die cut stars.

The completed picture was glued to a black die cut postage stamp mat, and glued onto the centre of the card front. To finish off the card I added glitter to the stars and the hat buckle.

Lili Of The Valley - Woodland Fairies (Dew)

 Evening Everyone

Today I'm sharing my last card (no.5) highlighting the polymer stamp set 'Woodland Fairies for Lili Of The Valley (LOTV). In this card I used the gorgeous fairy Dew plus a few friends, which I coloured with Copic pens. As previously mentioned you can buy the fairies and extra element individually as digital stamps.

What I Did
I printed a sheet of a lovely blue digital paper from LOTV, and trimmed it to fit the front of a 5" x 7" card, leaving a slim border around the edge and adhered to the card front. 

Next I printed a digital fairy sentiment onto a piece of colouring cardstock. The fairy, flowers, rabbits and butterflies were hand stamped near it to create a pretty scene, then trim down to 14cm x 9cm. I drew a grass line across the bottom section and coloured the whole scene with Copic pens. 

The finished scene was matted onto a piece of 14.5cm x 9.5cm blue card, then onto a piece of 15cm x 10cm white card. Funky foam was glued to the back to give it dimension. The topper was added to the centre of the card front.

To finish, I added glitter to the fairy’s wings along with a few pearls.

Lili Of The Valley - Woodland Fairies (Sprite)

 Evening Everyone

Sorry for the delay in post my 3rd card of the week for Lili Of The Valley (LOTV), but unfortunately I've been poorly. As I mentioned in my previous posts I'm showcasing the pretty polymer stamp set 'Woodland Fairies, remember you can buy the fairies and extras individually as digital stamps. For my card today I'm using Sprite, which I coloured with Copic pens. I hope you like her. x

But don't forget you can simply go to the LOTV Etsy Store and search under the polymer stamps listing for many of the other sets which are also on offer atm.

What I Did
To make the scalloped circle card blank, I first cut down an A4 sheet of white card to 14.5cm wide and folded it in half. Next I placed a 13cm scalloped circle die slightly over the folded edge, and die cut it. Using the same die I cut out another scalloped circle from pale pink card, then glued it directly onto the front of the scalloped card base.

The fairy, butterflies, and squirrel were all stamps onto colouring card and die cut with a 10cm circle. The scene was coloured using Copic pens, then matted onto a 11.25cm scalloped circle cut from blue card. The completed topper was glued into the centre of the card front, then glitter was added to the fairy’s wings along with a few pearls.

Lastly I printed out a sentiment, matted it onto deep pink card with a few pearls, then added it to the card front with foam pads.

Here's What I Used
Polymer Stamp Set: Woodland Fairies (Willow)
Digital Stamp: Sprite - Woodland Fairy
Digital Sentiments: Fairy Sentiments

Other: 
Copics, A4 White Card, ‘Make It Colour’ Blending Card, Large Scalloped Circle Die (Spellbinders), Dot Circle Die (Crealies), Scalloped Circle Dies (Creative Expressions), Light & Deep Pink & Blue Card, Fine Biodegradable White Glitter (Hobbycraft), Pearls, Foam Pads, Glue, Double Sided Tape, Black Ink

Lili Of the Valley - Woodland Fairies (Eva)

Happy Belated New Year

Sorry I've been quiet, but I sustained a hand injury just before Christmas which totally put me out of action. My injury involved ring finger on my dominant hand which has meant no crafting, typing, but at least meant no housework. Lol Tbh it's still painful to do those things, but it's healing more and more each day. 

So today, and for the rest of the week I will be highlighting the previously released polymer stamp set 'Woodland Fairies' by Lili Of The Valley (LOTV). The A5 stamp set is available in their Etsy shop at the reduced price of £10 atm, which is amazing. You can also buy the fairies individually as digital stamps - see the links below the photo. You will see that I used the same colour scheme for each of the cards - pink, blue white and green. For the first card of my five cards I have used Eva, which I coloured with Copic pens. I hope you like it. x

But don't forget you can simply go to the LOTV Etsy Store and search under the polymer stamps listing for many of the other sets which are also n offer atm.


What I Did
First I printed out a sheet of the 'Snow Princess' digital paper and trim it to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. This was adhered to the card front. 

Next I printed the sentiment onto a piece of colouring card and die cut it into a circle. The fairy and butterfly were stamped around it. The stamps were all coloured with Copic pens and the completed scene was mounted onto a pink scalloped mat. Funky foam was glued to the back of the topper to give height, and added to the card front. Glitter was added to the fairy’s wings and the butterflies.

To finish the card, I added a few die cut flowers and leaves, along with a few pearls and gems.

Here's What I Used
Polymer Stamp Set: Woodland Fairies (Eva)
Digital Stamp: Eva - Woodland Fairy
Digital Sentiments: Simply Cute
Digital Paper: Snow Princess
 
Other: 
Copic Pens, 6" x 6" White Card Blank, Make It Colour Blending Card, Pro Print Paper, Pink, Blue & Green Card, Stitched Scalloped Circle Dies (Creative Expressions), Camilla - Complete Petals Dies (Creative Expressions), Fine Biodegradable White Glitter, Black Ink, Pearls, Gems, Glue, Double Sided Tape, Funky Foam, White Pen
