Hanglar Girl ...

Although I have been playing with LOTV stamps and Adorables as previously mentioned they aren't quite finished so I thought I would show you this card I made a couple of weeks ago using a Hanglar stamp. This was a present so I don't know what she is called, sorry.
---
Papers are from MME and they were a magazine freebie. Flowers, pin & ribbon is from, you guessed it, who else but Wild Orchid Crafts. Martha Stewart branch punch. Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Coloured in Promarkers & hand stitched. The charm was also a present some years ago and the little bug I think came from Hobbycraft, again many years ago!
---
Thanks for popping by, I must go and finish the many cards I am playing around with before I start using my latest new goodies including some gorgeous Tildas from the new collection & a couple of the new Sugar Nellie stamps called Simply Sassy, amongst others.

Take care, Jane x

Let it Snow ...

As promised another card using the this fabulous Ted stamp from LOTV, this time I have coloured him in brown which works really well too.
---
Right onto the supplies, backing paper I think is a freebie from a mag (can't remember which at this point, sorry). The brown backing is Pink Petticoat Christmas. As usual I have used Rymans white card, stamped with Momento ink and coloured with Promarkers. Snowflakes are punches from Martha Stewart using the same technique on the previous card. Ribbon is from my stash, I think I have recycled it from an old top? Faux stitching (cheat I know), gems from Anitas and that lovely liquid applique white fluff stuff again as used before. Finally the sentiment is CG.

Thanks for looking, playing with more LOTV stamps and the Adorables stamps from Jayne Nestorenko at the moment so I hope to be back soon with my creations.
Take care, Jane x

Christmas Ted ...

Finally managed to photograph some of my latest creations so here is the first, as promised. Love LOTV, who doesn't & I have too many of their stamps to mention!!!! Seeing as he is in the snow I thought I would colour him in grey (just like everyones favourite Tatty ted). Also I thought this backing paper reminded me of a lovely homemade knitted jumper and hey presto a perfect combination. I couldn't lay my hands on a quickie glue pen when I glittered the snowflakes so used an alternative but I was disappointed that the glue remained blue, not the look I had planned but upon reflection I think it is what us crafters call 'a happy accident' don't you think?

Well onto the ingredients, stamp obviously LOTV, snowflakes are punched using good old Martha Stewart plus ultra fine glitter and that glue pen, finished with some Anitas gems. The ribbon is from Wild Orchid Crafts (fab suppliers) faux stitching this time plus a button from my collection. The sentiment is CG. Finally that fabulous paper is from Dovecraft and from a 6x6 pad called 'Contemporary Christmas'. UPDATE - Forgot to mention the fluffy stuff on Teds hat, I used Liquid Applique, you just squeeze it on and then heat it up. Had this product for must be over ten years but always comes out especially at Christmas.

Thanks for popping by and I be back to post another version of this gorgeous teddy in the coming days.
Take care, keep warm, Jane x

At the seaside ...


Well with all the rain we have been having, the water side of the seaside anyway. Still clutching onto Summer cards before the final push on Christmas cards.
Had this Tilda since its release & had used it with watercolour pencils but not used the good old Promarkers on it until now. I think I must have alot of stamps (well dahh, that is an understatement) that haven't actually seen Promarkers yet?
---
Lets get on with the receipe for Seaside Tilda. Liquid embossing from Anitas along with the gems too. Crystal Stickles for the top of Tildas summer dress. Rymans white cardstock & Momento ink for the image. Shell stamps as before from Magnolia & Panduro. Netting my Mum gave to me from Trago Mills in Liskeard. Sentiment is Craftwork Cards. Now backing paper is an online freebie I think from Zoe Pearn, really must learn to label the papers so I can let all you bloggers out there where to find the goodies! (Note to self, label freebies on download)!
---
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, I really do appreciate it & if you have the time to leave a message that would be great, I love receiving all the comments.

Haven't got round to photographing the other LOTV bear stamps I spoke about in my last post but I promise it is on the list!
Love Jane x
