Coredinations and Kraft card for the backing papers.

It was free with issue 65 of Papercraft Essentials a while ago.

For my regular followers you will know my most favourite thing on my cards is
the hand stitching and this one is no exception.
I have actually noticed ribbon is another favourite and at the moment
this is my favourite Tilda, well until I ink the next one up that is!

Together Forever ...

Today I have a card for Valentines Day using this gorgeous stamp from Lili of the Valley.

I have decoupaged the little cuties to make it pop, I think it works.

For this one I have tried out some different flowers using ribbon and a bit of bling!

The sentiment is part of the stamp!

Plenty of hand stitching & a frond punch.

Sizzix decorative accent die.

Thanks a bunch ...

Today I have been playing with this little cutie from LOTV  she is called Rosie Posey.   

I have had her a while but I think I have only used her once, so a little neglected.  

Lovely fresh spring colours for this one!

---

I have used Tulip papers, Papermania cardstock, Die-namics flower die.  I have dug out that butterfly punch

with no name (manufacture label has worn off) again! Anitas gems, pearls from stash, WOC ribbon, 

coloured with Promarkers, and some hand stitching for finish, 

well why change a habit of a lifetime!

Take care, Love Jane x

I love you more than cheese ...... (Joanna Sheen DT Card)

Time for the next challenge over on the Joanna Sheen Blog  and for the month of February 

the challenge is titled 'Love is in the air'.

---

I have used the gorgeous House Mouse decoupage pack called 'Just the two of us' which is 

jammed packed full of adorable little mice. 

I have taken this image from a wedding sheet and just used the groom for this one!

A few firsts for me on this make, my first decoupage using a Collall glue gel kit, 

my first 6x6 easel card, my first House Mouse decoupage and the first time 

I have used the fabulous Memory Box die called  'Cherised Border' available here.

The sentiment is computer generated as I don't have a stamp for this one?
The paper is from a free cd from a magazine a while back produced by Docrafts.
Still loving my hand stitching so this one has plenty!

Special Wishes ...

Today I have Tilda from the latest release 'Sweet Crazy Love' which was amongst my Christmas goodies!
I decided to go Cadbury purple, maybe I was thinking of chocolate at the time which would
explain the chocolate ribbon!  Very Spring like and makes a pleasant change from Christmas cards.

A Spoonful of Sugar ...

What do I have for my fabulous followers today, well I absolutely adore this stamp from LOTV,

it is just delightful for all ages, so I decided to have a play.

I have got plenty of other cards to be making but sometimes I need to be in the mood!

---

I have decoupaged the image for extra impact.  

I have coloured in Promakers with my dot style as usual.  

Backing paper is again from the Forever Friends Spring Time collection.  

The red paper was a freebie if I remember from a 

 magazine many moons ago from the depths of my paper stash!

The sentiment is CG, plenty of hand stitching.  Real plasters and some cheesecloth for the 

bandage attached with a safety pin.

---

Have a good week, happy crafting

House Mouse Baby Boy (Joanna Sheen DT Card) ...

Today we are at the half way mark for the 

Joanna Sheen Challenge this month which is

'Celebrations' .

I have once again used this cute little House Mouse stamp  and the sentiment 

included in the stamp sheet too!

I made a baby girl card first time round with this stamp so it was only fair

I made a little boy too, sooo cute and a delight to colour.

---

I have made a little felt heart by hand with some bells and a safety pin charm.

The stripe paper is from the Forever Friends Spring Time collection.  I have used some

Kraft card which has been embossed with the Swiss Dots folder, of course some hand stitching, buttons and  pearls.  The lace corners have been made using the Doohickey Tilda Lace Die.

---

Ur the best! ...

Today I have another image from the Pretty Tuff cd-rom and I think this image is my 

favourite of them all!  I have followed the sketch over at the 'Here come the boys blog' challenge

this month something I have never done before but I am pleased with the results.

----

Backing paper from the same cd, some kraft card and some coredinations.  

A little bit of twine and a star charm, a couple of polka dot buttons (turned over just as I wanted black)!

I have coloured the image with just Promarkers in my usual dotty style.

The sentiment is from the set as before.
