hooray ...

 

Well I can finally share this card with you, first attempt at the black background colouring showcased by Stephanie Klauk.  Stunning effect, so elegant and very relaxing.  I opted to stamp this large MFT stamp; Harmonious Hibiscus in London Fog first using my stamping platform, coloured the flowers, re stamped in watermark and heat embossed in gold.  Finally coloured the black background.  A strip of vellum, hooray die, HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment and a few gems to finish.

Not a quick make but looks gorgeous, I will definitely be trying this effect again soon.

Happy Birthday ...

Another 'Outside the Box' creation, this time some male birthday fun.  I have used MFT 'Fast Track' for this one and MFT 'Better Together' for the balloons.  Coloured with Promarkers, Nitwit papers and some red gems.  I  have used Mama Elephant 'Little Signage Agenda' for the numbers.  A little glossy accents for the goggles to finish.

Have I said how much fun these are to create ha ha.

Stay safe, Jane x

# Smile ...

I saw these little bunnies and I was smitten, Somebunny by My Favourite Things (MFT).  Coloured with Promarkers,  hand stitched, paper, pearls, Kraft and more new goodies this time from Lawn Fawn Selfie Frame Dies.  Perfect Easter card, clean, simple & fresh.  Sentiment inside says 'hope your Easter is picture perfect!'

All Systems Are Go ...

 

Just loving the 'Outside the Box' dies from MFT, so much fun and super easy.

So today I have used the 'Blastoff Buddies', 'Best Friends in the Universe' for the sentiment and the  balloons from  'Adorable Elephants' & of course the 'Clouds'.  Digital paper from Pink Petticoat; Navy random dots. Coloured with Promarkers, white highlights & glossy accents.  A few gold star gems to finish.  Below a side view.

Thank you, have a good crafty day, love Jane x

May all your WILDEST dreams come true

Love these 'Outside the box' dies from My Favourite Things, super easy and so much fun.  So I have also used the 'Grass' add on and a couple of stamps sets; mostly 'Sweet Safari' also from MFT coloured with Promarkers, also I have used stamps; 'Adorable Elephants' (balloon), 'Sky High' (bird)  & 'Magical Unicorns' (sentiment).  A couple of dew drops to finish.

Thank you for popping by, take care, Jane x

Lucky ...

 

I just adore this image from the Colarado Craft Company and illustrated by the fabulous Anita Jeram; 4 Leaf Clover.  

Very simple really, stamped several times, coloured with Promarkers and then decoupaged using silicone gel.  I wanted to give the perspective that this little fella was literally in the clover, so pretty. The sentiment is included in the set which I have heat embossed in gold.

Happy Crafting, Jane x

Merry Christmas ...

 

Treated myself to the 'Outside the box' dies from MFT, sadly couldn't get hold of the 'snow drift' add on for now so improvised with the newly released 'clouds' add on.  Grabbed a few more stamp sets too, including this little cutie which I have been waiting for the restock for a while, just adorable.

These dies are super easy to assemble and very effective, love them.  So coloured with Promarkers, snowflakes, papers & gems to finish.  Take care fellow crafters, stay safe and have a Merry Christmas

Love Jane x

Who can't wait for Christmas ...

Well I just couldn't resist the first release of the wonderful illustration stamps by Anita Jeram in collaboration with Colorado Craft Company.  This one is from a set titled Christmas Presents, just adorable.  You will seeing plenty of this fantastic new release in the new year I am sure of that.

Treated myself to some watercolour brush pens for this one but I certainly do need some more practice and I did revert to highlighting with my faithfull Promarkers and my signature dotty style.  Something to play with more in the coming year me thinks.

So pretty clean and simple, mat onto Nitwit paper and finished off with some sequins and some snow.  

Thank you for popping by my blog today, stay safe 

love Jane x

 

sending LOVE and HUGS ...

I am still here, what a year, lost my mojo for some time and trying to get back into the swing of things with my Christmas makes.  I made this for a very special lady in lockdown, so a paper hug for now to brighten her day.

Slim card today, clean and simple, new brand to me Pinkfresh Studios; Eucalyptus Fantasy.  Shout out to alot of brands here, I have used the mat and layer from Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics, vellum, swirly die from Card Making Magic, coloured with Promarkers, the white flowers are from Sizzix; Bold Flora and some pearls to finish.

Do what you love, Jane x
