Lili Of The Valley - Men/Boys Collection #1

Hi everyone

I'm sharing a sneaky peak at one of the new digi stamps from the 'Men/Boy's collection, and something from one of the new sentiments sets, both are being launched  by Lili Of The Valley (LOTV) next week. The new digi stamps include lots of fabulous stamps suitable for men/boys of all ages plus a sentiment set, in addition a new embossed sentiment collection is also being released and it includes lots of really cool and useful words. You will love them all. x

So for my card today, I've used one of the cute pirate images called 'Portholewhich I coloured with Copic pens, the sentiment is from the 'Embossed Labels' collection. I will add the links to the new stamps once the launch has taken place.I hope you like it. x

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
I trimmed down a piece of textured brown card and aqua patterned paper, and added them both to the front of my 7" x 7" white card blank, leaving a border around the edge.

I imported the cute pirate digi stamp and sentiment into my graphics program, then resized them both to fit my project. The image was then printed directly onto colouring card stock and die cut into a square. The image was coloured in using Copic pens.

The completed picture was added to a die cut scalloped square, cut from brown card. The topper was mounted onto the front of the card using foam pads to add a little height.  To finish my card I added a die cut pirate's sword and hat to the card front.

Lili Of The Valley - Spring Collection

Hi everyone

I hope everything is good with you, and you're keeping safe. So today I've created a variation on a theme. I took the pink Lili Of The Valley Easter card I created for my previous post and literally turned it round. Basically I created a larger card using the same digi stamp 'Spring Bloom', same dies but used a different colour palette, used watercolour pens instead of Copics and added a different sentiment. Tada! I now have a pretty 'Thank You' card instead of an Easter card. So easy! I hope you like it. x

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
First I trimmed down a piece of pink patterned paper and attached it to the front of a 6" x 6" card blank. Next I die cut a fancy square from white card and added glitter to the corners, then rotated it and glued it flat to the centre of the card front.

I imported the sweet little bear digi stamp, then resized it to fit my project. The bear image was then printed directly onto watercolour card, and die cut into a circle. The image was coloured in using watercolour pens and finished off with a few pencils. The completed images was attached to a aqua coloured fancy die cut circle, then funky foam was glued to the back. The completed topper was added to the centre of the white die cut square.

The 'Thank You' digi sentiment was printed onto white card and cut out, a die cut framed was placed over the top mounted onto the card front. To finish the card I added a few pearls.around the card.

Here's What I Used
Digital Stamp: Spring Bloom
Digital Sentiment: Spring Mix 32 Sentiments

Zig Clean Color Pens: Bear - Beige, Light Pink, Blue Grey / Dress & Butterfly - Cobalt Blue, Pale Green / Flower & Plant Pot - Cobalt Blue, Pale Green, Light green, Brown, Yellow, Bright Yellow

Other: 6" x 6" White Card Blank, Watercolour Card, 'Promises' Paper Pad (LOTV), White Card, Aqua Card, Double Dot Circle Dies (Crealies), Stately Circle Die (Spellbinders), New York Collection - Union Square Die (Creative Expression), Oval Word Window Frame (MFT), Prismacolor Pencils, Glitter, Glue, Double Sided Tape, Pearls, Funky Foam, Gold Glitter Pen

Hi everyone

I hope you're all doing ok, and have managed to escape the virus so far. If you haven't, then I'm sending you a big healing hug. If you have, then keep doing what you're doing. Stay safe. x

Anyhow, I'm sharing my latest card using another new Lili Of the Valley Easter digi stamp, this one is called 'Juggling Bunnywhich I coloured with Copic pens. Don't you think the bunnie and his little friends are really cute. II hope you like it. x

Here's What I Did
I created a card blank by die cutting into a pre-made DL card with an arched window die; the same die was used again to cut another arched window shape,  but this time from yellow card and it was glued to the card front. Using the next size down in the arched window dies I cut out another one from green patterned paper and added it into the centre of the card front. 

I imported the sweet bunnie digi stamp into my graphics program, then resized it to fit my project. The image was then printed directly onto colouring card stock, and die cut into an arched window shape. The image was coloured in using Copic pens, then glitter was added to the Easter eggs. The completed scene was glued into the centre of the card front.

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