Summer Time ...


Summer Time, I know, wishful thinking right now, the weather? so I hope this makes you smile.

So this yummy Tilda is called 'Tilda with Big Ice Cream', coloured with Promarkers, sentiment on my Silhouette, Doohickey Antique Lace die, have to say when it comes to Tilda the lace die has to be one of my all time favourites.

Today I want to share a Lawn Fawn Camera and add on dies, camouflage style.  I even took the photographs myself with a little help from my Nature Cam, really pleased with how this came out if I am honest & perfect for the lucky recipient.  Really love being in the garden, growing my own fruit & veg and watching the wildlife, very rewarding & to incorporate my garden in my craft, well perfect.

To achieve this you also need the Let's Toast die along with the Selfie Frames for the 'Smile' die cut.  The embossing folder of ferns is one of my all time favourite folders, so very pretty and works well with this card.  Happy Birthday sentiment, enamel dots and a shaker to finish.

Happy crafting, love Jane x


Racing to wish ...


Another 'Outside the Box' creation, another male birthday, can you spot the car numbers; a big kid this time around.  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.



My regular followers will note a similar one of these, it went down so well I just had to recreate it, I suppose we are all young at heart ha ha.

Stay safe, Jane x

Thanks so much ...

Just a couple of thank you cards using the gorgeous free stamps in Papercraft Essentials Magazine issue 168.  So pretty and lovely to colour, I used Promarkers along with what I think is called the eclipse technique using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks die and co-ordinating card stock in layers.  Hand stitched onto black cardstock. My faithful old Dymo machine for the sentiment.  Some glitter on the central flower, butterfly & pearl to finish.

I would like to enter these into the following challenges -

Allsorts Birthday Challenge - Bright Colours  (I Won)!

Happy crafting love Jane x

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.

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!'

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

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
