Pop up Bella bear

 Hello everyone. 

Time again for another challenge over at PD blog, and you can win some of the amazing images NIkky has.  There are loads of new ones, and a ton of oldies but goodies to choose from!

I used an image from the Bella Christmas bear release called 'Santa stop here'. Once I had coloured and fussy cutout, I used a pop-up die to add it to the inside of the card making it feel really special for the recipient. . The outside is decorated using the papers from the same release. The Christmas trees I took from the paper and enlarged them. Backing papers are more than just an accent behind the main image, have a close look and see what you can use in different ways!

Love roo

Hello everyone

I made this card for my sons birthday last month, but just haven't got around to blogging it yet.

When my son was a toddler he couldn't say wallaby, so he called them "wobbalies" and the name has stuck ever since, so when I spotted this roo set from clearly besotted, it had to land in my basket!

Ingredients

• Die -  
• Mama elephant slim line scene builder
• tattered lace basic circle
• Stamps –
• clearly besotted – Love roo
• MFT lets stick together
• Coloured with spectrum noir tri blend brush markers
• Ink blending distress oxide inks
• Chipped sapphire
• Prize ribbon
• Antique paper
• Vintage photo

 I cut out of the panels for the shaped card and ink blended them all.  For texture I splatted each one with the same colours I had used to blend as well as black and white, with some shimmer pen in there too. For the circle back panel i used a large circle and chopped it in half in my trimmer to make a different backdrop.

I put these aside to dry while stamping and colouring all of my images, that I then put through my scan and cut and cut them all out.  I also cut out the word ‘Son’ in two sizes, one in black and the other in white

Now the background panels were dry, I glued them all together to form the card base, and placed my critters around the card to create a scene.  In the sky I adhered the ‘son’ word and stamped the happy birthday to room on the front panel.

He absolutely adored this – its still in his bedroom now.  His very own set of wobbalies!

So Sweet

 Hello crafting friends, welcome back to my blog.

Todays card is another 3d pop up style, made with my MFT outside the box die-namics and mama elephant stamp set.

I just think these critters are so sweet and added to the sugary goodness cake and milkshakes its just too stinkin' cute! !  I could just devour one of these milkshakes right now calories don't count on a Monday - do they? 

Ingredient list

• Mama Elephant - Milkshake stamps
• MFT - outside the box level up die-namics
• Coloured with copics and Spectrum noir brush triblend markers
• Lawn fawn gingham paper pad and alcohol friendly ink pads 
• stickles and glossy accents to finish

I cut out the card using white card and then used the accompanying dies to cut out of a lawn fawn gingham paper pad.

I stamped the images  and coloured with my pens, before cutting them out on my scan and cut.

I then assembled the card, before adding sparkle and some glaze on the sweet treats to finish the look.

Thank you Teacher

Happy Friday everyone

Its almost the weekend, thank heavens, it's been a long week and I am certainly looking forward to some craft time over the weekend!

For my first project post, I thought I would share a card I made for my sons teacher to say thank you.  The list of things I used is listed below.

My colouring was with a combination of Copic markers and the new Spectrum noir tri-blend brush markers.  I highly recommend them!

I wanted it to be bright and stand out among her other cards so I used primary colours to make it pop.  It was a tricky shape to photograph as I wanted to get in all the detail as well as the dimension... 

I just adore all of those cute characters, they are simply perfect, and Harry's teacher loved it too!

Ingredient list 

Mama elephant Slim scenescape builder die and  bookworm stamps

Lawn fawn - Good apple

Copics and spectrum noir brush tip triblender pens

Memento ink 

cardstock from my stash
