Christmas card.

Good morning.

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and I would like to wish you all a very happy 2018.

I has been a long time since I last posted as I have felt really poorly. My cold which I had for about 6 weeks ended up in my sinuses causing me to have bad headaches and absolutely no energy. The days I wasn't working I had sofa days just to try and get my strength back up for work.

Thankfully, I am ok now.

Because of the above, this is the only Christmas card I managed to make. It was lovely to get back into my craft room.

The shape of the card has been made using the Dutch Doobadoo Shape Art Bell.

The papers have been taken from the Frozen Forest paper pad by Studio Light.

The flowers have been made from Foamiran using the Lily/Poinsettia die by Whimsy Stamp. As it is a Christmas card, it goes without saying that I added lots of glitter and bling. The button is Genevieve

 and from my crafty stash I added silver ribbon, silver berries and pearls.

I added silver embossing powder to the one of the Frames from the Scrapiniec  Ribbon Set.

I would like to enter the following challenges.

Christmas at Sweet Stampin - Anything goes Christmas.
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
The Crafty Addicts - Anything Goes / (non traditional Christmas)

Once again, I wish you a very Happy New Year and I will see you in 2018.

Midway reminder for the challenge at All About Magnolia

Hi Bloggers.

I am here today to share with you my card for the challenge at 

All About Magnolia

the theme for this challenge is

All About the Season

For my card today I used Magnolia Stamp London Tilda.

I masked Tilda before adding the Water Rain Drop Stamp

by Inkylicious. 

The papers, Indian Summer, I purchased from the NEC this year and they are by Clarity Stamp. I have covered a lot of the detail on the papers but I can assure you, they are so pretty. I made the large flower on the left with Foamiran and the flower to the right using the papers from Clarity. Both were made with the Whimsy Lily/Poinsettia die. 

 I will come back very soon and add the rest of the products used. My computer is constantly disconnecting from the internet and I am going to shut it down before I throw it through a window!!!

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. 

Enjoy the rest of your week

Midway Reminder for Marvelous Magnolia.

It seems such a long time since I last posted. Well actually it is as a month has gone by. 

The only cards I have made have been for my DT commitments but I am raring to get back to card making on a more regular basis. I have had a lot going on in my life and I just needed some breathing space.

Anyway, I have returned for my midweek inspiration for 

Marvelous Magnolia.

As always, our theme is

Anything goes.

The chosen winner for this challenge will have the opportunity in joining us in an up and coming challenge.

I have not made a card this time but a bottle tag. I really love making these and they make beautiful keepsakes.

The bottle tag shape art is by Dutch Doobadoo.

 I have coloured with Distress Markers and Re-inkers, Magnolias Cause I love you from the Little Emoji Collection 2017 

 The pretty die underneath the image and around the bottle opening is Anja's Butterfly from Marianne Design. The large pink flower on the below has been made from Foamiran and coloured with chalks. The die I used to make the flower is the Lily/Poinsettia die from Whimsy Stamp. 

The Just for you is by Scrapiniec. There are two pieces in this set.

Thank You for stopping by today and for your lovely comments.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Midway reminder for All About Magnolia

Good morning.

I am here with my reminder for the challenge at 

All About Magnolia.

The theme for this challenge is

Fall/Halloween.

We are being sponsored by Magnolia Stamps of Sweden

and

Craft Heaven Shop

I have gone for an Autumnal card as I am not a great lover of Halloween and tend not to buy Halloween appropriate goodies.

 I have coloured  Sitting Cozy Tilda and Happy Swing with Distress Markers and Re-inkers.

 I love this cute swing and keep looking through my stamps to find images that will sit on it nicely.

The papers are from a Christmas paper pad by Whimsy Stamp but the colours are beautifully autumnal.
The leaf and mushroom die is by Joy Crafts

Yet again, I have made a Foamiran Flower with the Lily/Poinsettia die from Whimsy Stamp. Can't get enough of this die.

The Autumn die is from a set of Seasons Dies.

Thank you all for stopping by today.

See you again soon.

LOTV Wedding Couple

Good morning.

It has been a while since I last posted but it is nice to be back with this wedding card.

Life has been so hectic recently. I don't feel like I have sat down and relaxed for a long time so I am treating myself to a PJ day today curled up on the sofa with our two fur babies.

I made this card for a work colleague who attended a wedding at the weekend so I can now show it.

I used the gorgeous Wedding Couple from LOTV. 

I created the shape of the card using the Shape Art Heart from Dutch Doobadoo.

The image has been coloured with Distress Markers. I masked the couple and stamped the Magnolia Love stamp behind them.

I made some Foamiran flowers using the Whimsy Stamp Lily die which was designed by Bev Rochester. I have to tell you, this die has to be one of the best things I have ever bought - I love it. There are two sized dies in the set. The middle of the flowers I coloured with chalk and added the dots with a copic marker.

To the bottom I added the Rose and Chiffon lace.

Underneath the smaller flower above I added some vintage seam binding and twine.

Just above the flower is the Wycinanka Heart with Doves.

Because this is a wedding card I added the gorgeous Lauren button for some bling.

I would like to enter the following challenges.

In the Pink - Anything goes
Stamping Sensations - Photo inspiration
The Ribbon Girls - Anything goes

Enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you soon.

Roses in Bloom/Ephemera

Good morning.

I am sharing with you today a card I made using Pion Designs Where the Roses Grow papers. - Roses in Bloom.

I chose this gorgeous  lady from a selection of Ephemera images by Maja Designs, Sofiera. If you click on the link below you can view the rest of the images. These images are really suited to the Scrapiniec Chipboard which are the decorative borders from the Royal collection. 

The flowers include Blossoms, Roses in various colours and sizes, Rose Buds, Berries, Poppy, Chrysanthemum. Again, they are all linked at the bottom of the post. Added to the flowers are some leaves cut from the Studio Light beautiful flowers leaf edge die. This is still my all time favourite leaf die.

I added pearl string to the top and bottom of the image and let me tell you, it is driving me nuts looking at it as it is not straight along the top. I am going to try an unstick and re-stick it. Do you think I have a touch of OCD?

I tucked into the flowers above a bronze filigree butterfly and below is a bronze Antique leaf.

Thank you all for stopping by.

See you soon,

Hugs Sharon. x
