Warm Fuzzies ...

Just adore these little mammoth from Mama Elephant, such pleasure bringing them to life.  Coloured with Promarkers, digital papers, heat embossed gold sentiment and a little bit of hand stitching to finish.

Stay safe love Jane x

Spin Me Around ...

You may have noticed I do love an interactive card including this Turner Suprise die from the fabulous Mama Elephant.   And like many interactive cards they really aren't as difficult as they may first appear.  Kids, big or small, ha ha love receiving kinetic cards.  The sentiments are from Mama Elephant titled Circle of Friends, heat embossed in gold on black card.  The star die cut is also in the Turner Surprise set.

I have used the Turner Surprise with the Panda Agenda stamps also from Mama Elephant. I have created a background using TH Distress Oxide (twisted citron) and created a shaker card and popped in lots of sparkles, gold glitter, green hexagons & ice white circles all from Nuvo Confetti.

Summer ...

 Today I am sharing my 'Summer' theme inspiration as Guest Designer for

 A little something for me and my studio today.  The frame is a cutting file over on the Silhouette Design Store by Nilmara Quintela.  So I have covered it in Nitwit Collections papers, Gesso & TH Antique Linen distress ink for a shabby look.   The words on the back panel are CG and also added a back flap so I can add some larger memories; like a cork or two ha ha.

So Tilda of course, Tilda on the Beach, love this little lady, coloured with Promarkers.  Plenty of flowers, sand in a bottle, view finder, Doohickeys from numerous box kits, cheesecloth & clear dew drops. I have also used Tilda playing with water on the side of the memory box, I just couldn't resist using both!  Plenty of pictures from all angles.

Please do come & play along, looking forward to all your entries.

Stay safe, happy crafting, love Jane x

Happy Father's Day ...

I have used a scrapbook layout from the Silhouette Design Store for this one, by  Carina Gardner.  Nitwit papers, hand stitched as I haven't done that in a while.  CG sentiment, gorgeous new stamps from My Favourite Things; Festive Old Friend.  Coloured with Promarkers. Scraps of card, enamel dots to finish

Kick back, relax & take it easy ...

Shamefully I have to admit to owning this rubber stamp (now only available as a digi) for longer than I care to mention and this is its first inking, oops. So I came across this in my stash and decided to take care of Fathers Day. This card is a little interactive in that it has a 'tear strip' on the front which says "Kick back, relax & take it easy."  You then pull where the little crystal heart is to reveal the sentiment for Fathers Day.

I have cut all the elements on my Silhouette Cameo, Argyle embossing folder, papers & charm from my stash.  Coloured with Promarkers & pencils,  hand stitched and some pearls.

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.

Smile ...

 

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.
