For the one you love…

Morning All; today i thought i would share with you a Valentines card that i designed for a class that i taught earlier in the month using the You are Loved stamp set.

Now there is no such thing really as a manly Valentines Card but i did try by using the gorgeous midnight muse as my main colour its a lovely rich colour i have used it tons lately as i just love how well it co ordinates with so many different colour pallets. This time i paired it with rose red {so a tiny bit of pink!} and here’s a sneak peak of an upcoming Sale-a-bration can you spot the new item?  I have added a bit of bling with a couple of flowers from the Itty Bitty Punch i have used this punch so much and it comes in a set of 3 so they’re great value, and a butterfly from glimmer paper the perfect way to use glitter with out the mess!

Unfortunately my lovely husband has seen this card as i prepped for my class so i shall have to come up with another for him!

Blue Christmas

Morning all, another quick festive card today.  Like me do you have bits left over from other projects that you feel bad about throwing away??  Well i decided to use some of these bits up to make some Christmas cards.  A few weeks ago i cut a load of trees out of white card but i wanted the negative so i had loads of trees left over and i couldn’t bare to throw them away as it seemed such a waste.

 

So my waste has become a pretty jewelled tree with a teeny baker’s twine bow, mounted on a mat of Island Indigo DSP then a Whisper White mat then a Island Indigo card blank.  I think it looks quite pretty and blue makes a nice change with Christmas cards although mine are usually Crumb Cake with red lol so its nice to do a few different ones!

Deck the Halls……….

 

That has to be one of my favourite Christmas Songs i love the ‘fa la la la la’ bit lol.  Today i thought u i would share my Christmas Cards with you as most people will have received them by now.

I went for a monotone scheme of Old Olive with a bit of Very Vanilla.  I have embossed a panel of Od Olive card stock with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder {can you tell it was still out on my desk! lol} Then a Top Note piece of Very Vanilla which i stamped the family decorating the Christmas tree image from the Welcome Christmas set again in Old Olive and inked round the edges in the same ink.  This was mounted on Dimensionals and decorated with rhinestones and pearls for the baubles.  The sentiment is from the same set again stamped in Old Olive with a fold of Old Olive satin ribbon behind and mounted on Dimensionals.  It was then all spritzed with Shimmer spray made with SU’s Champagne Shimmer Paint.

 

I do hope that everyone liked them.

Contemporary Christmas Colours

Hello All, today i have a Christmas card to share with you.

I have used the poinsettia stamp from the ‘Season of Joy’ stamp set {110384}

but not with the traditional red, i have stamped it in Baja Breeze ink and the swirls are Crumb Cake this is one of my favourite colour combos.  I think it gives such a lovely feel to Christmas projects still elegant but slightly different.  I have just discovered a gorgeous card stock from Stampin’ Up! called Confetti this is Confetti White but it also comes in cream and has a handmade quality about it with all these tiny flecks in the fibres.

So what do you think??

Christmas Favour..

Morning all, Hope you are well?

Today i have a little Christmas table favour to share with you made using the Pillow Box Die {113466 £16.95} with the Big Shot

Made in Old Olive card stock, i quickly wheeled the Music Notes Wheel {120327} across the pillow box in Old Olive ink assembled it with Tombow adhesive stamped the Merry Christmas from the Season of Joy {110384} stamp set and run a line on basic rhinestones to add a bit of sparkle.  To finish i tied a little knot of Old Olive Satin Ribbon which is gorgeous and luxurious i love stroking it!

Dashing Dasher…

Hello! hope every one is well, just a quick one from me today using the gorgeous Dasher Stamp.

Dasher {116816} is in the a la carte section of the Idea Book and Catalogue where you can buy single stamps, and Dasher only costs £7.95 so is a complete bargain seeing as how completely gorgeous he is! I am planning on using him on lots of projects because his antler just cry out for bling!

So today i have a project which can solve the problem of the ugly gift cards you now get in stores.  Using the Scallop Envelope Die {113462 £18.95} which is exclusive to Stampin’ Up! to make a tiny purse in Crumb Cake card stock.

I have stamped with my Music Notes Wheel {120327 £6.50} in Crumb Cake ink before stamping Dasher in Rich Razzleberry ink.  Of course i blinged-up his antlers with a couple of Basic Rhinestones then punched a little handle with the Word Window Punch and tied a little piece of Crumb Cake Seam Binding to close.

The little purses would be great filled with chocolate on any festive party tables and so quick to make.  If you would like any products used to produce this project then please contact me craftylittlemoo@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you……

Hello!  How are you all today?  Good i hope?

Last week we was invited to dinner at Mr.C’s Nan’s house well we couldn’t go round empty handed so i rustled up a quick card;

I used my new Scallop Circle die for the Big Shot, and Springtime Vintage DSP with Rose Red Seam Binding and Button.  The base card was made of Crumb Cake card stock and i smudged ink all round the edges of the scallops with Crumb Cake ink and a Sponge Dauber.  To finish i added a buckle from the hodgepodge Hardware set and three tiny rhinestones (can you tell what’s been left out on my desk this week?! lol)

I think when i make a Scallop Circle easel card again i will put the button further back to hold the card front more upright.  Of course now the bottle we was taking with us looked rather bare so i prettied that up too!

i didn’t even measure and cut these bits it was all made of scraps on my desk i just sort of threw them together!  The scallop circle is out of my daughters stash of punches as i don’t have a scallop circle punch yet (its on my list) and the sentiment is from the Wedding Sweet stamp set.  I love this stamp set, i used it for my wedding invitations but i have also used it for so much more as it is so versatile.  

However when i got to Mr.C’s Nan’s House i realised i had used the same DSP as the card i had made her earlier in the week!! But at least she didn’t mind she loves to receive cards, which is one of the reasons i love card making.  Something so simple can really brighten up someone's day.

Until next time

A Parliament of Owls

Did you know that a group of owls was called a parliament?!?  I didn’t either until i googled it! lol

But, here is a parliament of owls that i have created this week using the two step owl punch from Stampin’ Up!  I always keep my owl punch on my desk and when i have a scrap of DSP that is big enough to cut a chest piece out, i do it there and then and file it away for next time that i want to make an owl, otherwise my offcuts build up and never get used.

So here they are;

They are very simple and easy to make i do think they need a sentiment but i don’t have one that is perfect yet so i am leaving the sentiment blank until i do. All made using scraps of card and DSP mounted onto a 4”x4” Whisper White square card blank and finished with a knotted length of Baja Breeze Seam Binding and a little rhinestone on the hearts on their chests.

Hope you like them

Until next time

Pretty Little Flutterby.

Morning All, hope you are all well?  So today my project to share is something you have probably seen on lots of other blogs but i just fancied making one to look pretty on my desk space.

A simple butterfly easel card made using the Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies die which i believe is exclusive to Stampin’ Up!

I used Very Vanilla cardstock for the base and the top smaller butterfly, and a small piece of Springtime Vintage DSP.  To make the wings stand away from the vanilla base i used half a dimensional just near the centre which i had secured with tombow.  And just because i seem to be addicted to them at the moment a small strip of rhinestones down the body of the smaller butterfly.

Until next time

Springtime Trio………. part two

Thank You for joining me again today, here is the second of my Springtime Vintage Trio.

Again i cut the base for this card from Crumb Cake, then layered up a square of Baja Breeze with a square of Springtime Vintage DSP, i then added a offcut of Crumb Cake.  I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink from the Trendy Trees Stamp Set onto a small strip of Baja Breeze cardstock and mounted it on dimensionals.  Finally i finished off with some rhinestones and a water scrunched Baja Seam Binding Bow.  I love that you can achieve this look so easily but dampening the seam binding and scrunching before letting it dry – and it stays like it!

I shall be back tomorrow with the last one

Until then

The Springtime Trio…

Before i succumbed to this awful infection i had spent a little time getting inky at my craft table while Mr.C watched something ‘’interesting’’ on the History Channel.  I came up with a Trio of little 4’’x4’’ square cards made using pieces of two of the blue toned sheets of DSP from the Springtime Vintage Stack.

I shall share them all with you and here is the first;

I cut the card myself from Baja Breeze card stock, and simply mounted a square layer of DSP (with Tombow), i stamped a thank you sentiment from the Wedding Sweet stamp set onto a scrap of Baja Breeze card stock and framed it with an oval frame from the Hodgepodge Hardware set. This was then mounted on dimensionals, and i added a little knot of Baja Seam Binding, and then a Rhinestone in each corner.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the next one.

Until next time

A Little Card…….

I made this card after finally cutting in to my Springtime Vintage Papers.  I had got these papers out looked at them, they’re so pretty, stroked them and then put them back, many many times so it was about time i cut into them and shared their prettiness.

I made this little card just to say we was thinking of Mr.C’s Nan as she had a bad day to deal with earlier in the week and i do hope that it cheered her up a bit.

I made a 4’’x4’’ blank from Crumb Cake card stock and cut a slightly smaller square layer out of a scrap bit of Whisper White card stock.  I covered the Whisper White Square with some DSP strips, as shown below;

I used the Whisper White Square so that i could wrap my ribbon around the join in my papers and have the ends hidden.  The DSP is the same sheet but the bottom strip is the other side of the sheet.  I then added some little Rhinestones to give it a little something extra.

Here is the completed card;

Well until next time
