Lili Of The Valley - Vintage Boys #3

Hi there

I'm back today with more Lili Of The Valley cuteness. The card I've made was part of the 'Vintage Boy' launch but didn't get time to share. For this fabulous male card I used Copic pens to colour with and I layered it up to give it dimension. I used the digi stamp 'Racing Green', 3 of the digital paper from the 'Dusty Pastels' collection and another of the sentiments from the 'Grunge Stamp' set. The image is available as a digi stamp and a pre-coloured, pre-sized versions as a Simply Prints PDF's. All the links are below the photo section. I hope you like it. x

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

Here's What I Did  

A piece of grey patterned paper was trimmed down and added to the front of a DL white card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. 

Using my graphics program I created a rectangle slightly larger than the die I was planning to use and layered up 3 of the pastel papers to create a background scene (minus the clouds). I added the racing car and the sentiment on top of the background and resized it accordingly. FYI - the 'Husband' sentiment was recoloured white. The scene was printed directly onto colouring card and die cut into a rectangle, the driver was then coloured in using Copic pens. The panel was then mounted onto a deep red scalloped mat and added to the card front.

The racing car image was printed out again and coloured with Copic pens apart from the driver, then fussy cut out. Foam pads were added to the back of the car, and placed over directly over the car printed on the card front. To finish the card I added a few die cut clouds to the sky and glossy pen to the headlight and goggles.

The image and sentiment were resized to fit inside the square I created, everything was then printed onto toned tan paper. The image was coloured using  Prismacolour pencils. FYI, I did film my colouring process, and hope to create a video of it very soon, so watch this space. 

The completed image was backed onto thin card and die cut into a square, then added to a brown die cut scalloped square. Funky foam was glued to the back of the topper and added to the card front. To finish the card I added a few die cut cogs to the top and bottom of the card.

Lili Of the Valley - Vintage Boys #1

Hi everyone

How is everyone doing? Well I celebrated my 60th birthday since I last posted, and thanks to my daughter and husband I had an absolutely fabulous day - full of surprises, love and laughter. The day wasn't totally perfect as my daughter, who is still protecting herself at home couldn't share the day with us in person. FYI I haven't seen her in person for almost a year and a half due to the pandemic. Anyhow, but hopefully that will change very soon....fingers crossed. :)

Right that's the 'catch up' stuff done. Lol 

So today I'm sharing a sneaky peak of one of the new Lili Of The Valley vintage boys, they are all just so adorable. For my card I have used one of the Vintage Boy Simply Prints called 'Wallpaper Paste', one of the 'Dusky Watercolour' papers and a sentiment from the 'Grunge Stamp' set. All the new digi stamps are also available as pre-coloured versions in Simply prints PDF's. The whole collection - Simply Prints, digi stamps, papers and sentiments all launch in the LOTV Etsy shop on Monday (17th March).

I hope you like it. (This card is for sale - please email me).

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

Here's What I Did

To start with I printed the Simply Print vintage boy image onto 300gsm white card and trimmed it down to fit my 5" x 7" black card blank whilst leaving a slim border around the edge. I used a fancy edge die on the bottom section, then glued funky foam onto the back. The digital paper was taken into my graphics program where I placed the sentiment over the top. The paper was printed straight onto smooth printer paper and trimmed it down to match the width of the card topper. The paper was glued to the card front first, and the topper piece was glued over the top of that. To finish the card I added a few glossy dots on both the top and bottom. 

Here's What I Used

Simply Print: Vintage Boy - Wallpaper Paste (also available as part of a set here)

The digi stamps of this image can be found here

Digital  Paper: Dusky Watercolour

Digital Sentiment: Grunge Stamps

Lili Of The Valley - Men/Boys Collection #3

Hi everyone

Today I'm sharing another of the new digi stamps from the 'Men/Boy's collection along with one of the new sentiment collections, both were launched last week by Lili Of The Valley (LOTV). 

Today's card is using the 'Birthday-Saurus' digi stamp which I coloured with Copic pens, and one of the 'Embossed Labels' which I digitally re-coloured.  The dinosaur stamp set includes 2 versions of the same stamp - the boy and his dinosaur and the boy and his dinosaur with the 'birthday boy' sentiment. The 'Embossed label collection have 82 separate Dymo style sentiments, and a PDF sheet of all the same labels so it can be printed off in one go and the labels cut out as required.  

The 'Embossed Labels' sentiment digi stamps come in black and white, but can be re-coloured in Word or a graphics program. To help with this I have uploaded an instructional sheet to 'We Love Lili Of The Valley' facebook group on how to re-colour digital stamps like the 'Embossed labels'. I hope you find it usueful. x

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

Here's What I Did

First I trimmed down a piece of purple/blue grunge paper, and added a little purple distressing ink. When the ink was dry I covered the front of a 5" x 7" white card blank.

Next I imported the cute little boy and his dinosaur digi stamp with sentiment into my graphics program, then added a box design around them. The full image was then printed directly onto colouring card stock and coloured in using Copic pens. With a white pens I added 3 dots to each cheek. I die cut the image into a round cornered rectangle and attached it to a purple scalloped rectangle mat, then glued it to the front of the card blank.

The 'Have Fun' embossed label was imported into my graphics program and re-coloured to compliment the image, this was then printed onto white card and fussy cut out. Foam pads were stuck to the back of the sentiment and added to the card front. 

To finish my card I added 2 purple punched out stars, and a little glitter to the yellow stars.

Lili Of The Valley - Boy's/Men #2

Hi everyone

Today I'm sharing another of the new digi stamps from the 'Men/Boy's collection launched by Lili Of The Valley (LOTV) last week and previously released sentiment stamp. So for my card today, I've used one of the cute boy images which I like to call a 'huggable' image from the 'A Big Gift' set.  The stamp set includes 3 version of the same stamp - the boy on his own, the boy with a big gift box with a blank name tag, and finally the boy with the gift box with a tag 'To Dad' on it. 

For my card I used Copic pens to colour the image and included a sentiment from the 'Spring Mix of 32 Sentiments' collection. I hope you like it. x

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

Here's What I Did

I trimmed down a piece of green patterned paper, and covered the front of a 6" x 6" white card blank.

First I imported the cute boy digi stamp and sentiment into my graphics program, then created a box design in which I added the sentiment. The boy stamp was added onto the edge of the box. The full image was then printed directly onto colouring card stock and coloured in using Copic pens. I cut around the box with my trimmer, then fussy cut around the boy. 

I trimmed down a piece of strong white card, and die cut the centre with a square die to create a frame. Funky foam was added to the back of the frame to give dimension, and then glued to the card front. 

The boy and the sentiment box was glued into the centre of the frame.

To finish my card I added green punched out stars to the box, and enamel dots to the bottom of the frame.

Here's What I Used
Digital Stamp: A Big Gift

Digital Sentiment Stamp: Spring Mix of 32 Sentiments

Copic Pens: Skin - E000, E00, E11, R20 / Hair - E13, E99 / Cap & Socks - YG00, YG01, YG03, G94 / Jumper - B00, B01, B05, YG00, YG01, YG03, G94 / Trousers - B00, B01, B05 / Shoes - B00, B01, B05, W1, W3
