Welcome Little One ...

 

Not often I make baby cards but I do have the complete set of Stamping Bella Hey Baby stamps; this one is titled Sprouted Baby, just waiting to for a little one to arrive, hooray.

Coloured with Promarkers, sentiment is from Betterpress; Always & Forever foiled in silver.  Mat & layers along with a star, cloud & sun from a Doohickey Club kit.  Little blue pearls to finish.

Happy crafting, Jane

Count your rainbows ...

 

Once again I am the Guest Designer over at Simply Magnolia and this months challenge is 'Birthdays' using the gorgeous Tilda or lets not forget Edwin.

I have been wanting to make a lollipop card for a while and thought it would be perfect for this new edition to my collection; Unicorn Pyjama Tilda.  So I have used a variety of Sizzix Surfacez cardstock, Rosette file, coloured with Promarkers, flowers, cheesecloth, clear dew drops, ribbon & bells from my stash.  The sentiment in the Sizzix shaker reads; count your rainbows not your thunderstorms with some beads. Star, sun, clouds & heart are all Doohickey dies from various club boxes. Finally gold foiled sentiment from Spellbinders.

Please do come and play along with us HERE

Especially F O R E you ...

Sharing a slider/shaker card today, I have used Kraft for the base/structure of the card.  I used the gorgeous 'Playing Golf' stamp (from back in the day) from Lili of the Valley for the main image &  the 'Celebrate Quotables' stamps (back in the day) for the inside, heat embossed in gold. I made a little shaker for the golf bunker, complete with a lost golf ball!

So of course a double slider, just pull from the right and both sides are revealed, the magic is simply a strip of plastic?  Coloured with Promarkers, grass, flags, clouds & star. Birthday sentiment, Fore' sentiment is cg on Safmat, Argyle embossing folder, hand stitched, sand from Porto Santo, lovely colour don't you think.  

That is all from me today, thanks F O R E popping by peeps

get whale soon ...

Loving the Magic Picture Changer from Lawn Fawn, so much fun.  Another stamp & die I have had a while with someone very special in mind.  Combined on this occasion with the Get Whale Soon before 'n' afters stamps.  Coloured with Promarkers, the waves are from MFT the Pop up wiper components, two in blue tones and a third in vellum which I have them embossed with one of my favourite folders which is actually titled Softly Falling from Stampin Up, I have used for snow, water on this occasion and also lemonade bubbles on a magazine make too, very versatile.

The cloud is from a Doohickey Club set.  The background is simply TH Distress Oxide (Salty Ocean) which I have then splattered some water on.

And the big reveal and I was so pleased with the placement of my whale, almost perfect.  If you look very carefully you will be able to see some little fishes behind the vellum these are from the MFT Gill Friends stamp set.  Thank you for popping by today, much appreciated.

Bye for now, Jane x

Perpetual Calendars ...

This year I have made some perpetual calendars as presents as the recipients like to keep their special makes out all year long and Christmas doesn't always look good in June, ha ha.

  

So the first one has Tilda with flower in her pocket/For you Tilda on the reverse as another option.

The second one has Up up and away Tilda/For you Tilda again.

Reverse side option shown below.

I have cut all of the elements on my Silhouette using a file from the Design Store by the lovely Lori Whitlock to which I have added sides/back and a acetate window pocket.  I hope to stamp/colour a couple more next year so they have a choice of images to look at. I have coloured with Promarkers, plenty of ready made flowers from my stash, several Doohickey dies from the club kits.  I have again cut from the Design Store a mini bird box.  The papers are from Nitwit Collections titled  Cottage Charm. Gesso distress, A3 kraft card for the main structure.  Cheesecloth, pearls, ribbon and clip.

didn't cut very well on my Big Shot.  Not forgetting some hand stitching, well it wouldn't be me would it.  Gems & sequins to finish.

Under the weather ...

I am back, long time no see, soz.

Just busy busy, living life and I lost my mojo ha ha!

Mojo well and truly found after receiving the 13 Nights of Halloween from Magnolia,

couldn't wait to play and here is the result.

Today I am sharing a 'box in a card' using the gorgeous new goodies from Magnolia.

So Tilda is under the weather, so I have put together a box of goodies to cheer her up!

Inside the top is a pocket for some sachets of honey & lemon or maybe some hot chocolate.

Then the box beneath has room for some more treats, but also contains a little shaker element, get well sentiment, a plaster, blister strip and the little hearts (tablets) as the confetti.

I have used Tilda stamp, both sentiment stamps, heart beat die, plaster die, blister strip die & cross die from the Doohickey 13 nights of Halloween  which will be coming out for general release very soon.

The heart flourish (Doohickey Box 3/Oh La La), tree & fronds (Doohickey Box 16/Fall in Love), sun (Doohickey Box 10/Buzz Buzz), clouds (Doohickey Box 13/Sweet Pea) dies.

Coloured with Promarkers, pink organza ribbon, umbrella charm & completely hand stitched.

I have mat & layered the elements on my Silhouette Cameo.

Finished off with some bandage in a bow.
