Maya and Kitty Writing Santa's List

Well it's the last day of March, so naturally I've got a Christmas card to share with you today !!!   :0)

The papers are actually from the gorgeous new Wild Rose Studio Antique Library pad, and along with being really versatile for any occasion, this script one also seemed appropriate for the image of Maya the Elf, checking the list of who's been naughty or nice for Santa.

Kitty Picnic

I'm in summer mode today with an image called Kitty Picnic, and summery papers from the new Wild Rose Studio Peach Blossom pad.  The dies are also quite summery with the rose circle and bird tree. The image was actually quite a large one, so there wasn't much space left for me to splatter the card with too many embellishments, so I just sneaked in a trio of pearls into the bottom corner!

Bluebell with Friend


Morning everyone,
I have a very simple ‘thank you’ card to show today using one of the gorgeous new images from Wild Rose Studio called ‘Bluebell with Friend’ which I‘ve teamed with the gorgeous WRS ‘Peach Blossom’ papers.

 


I’ve also used one of the new dies, too, from WRS: the gorgeous ‘Floral Frame’ which was just the right size for this image! There are two dies in this set…both equally gorgeous and they really do provide inspiration for crafting…I found I was planning future cards whilst I was using them!

I’ve kept the design simple for this card to show off the image and the pretty papers. The ‘Thanks Script’ is a Memory Box die-cut – currently available in our clearance sale, along with a range of other Memory Box dies! 

                                       Card Recipe:
Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Bluebell with Friend’
Papers: Wild Rose Studio ‘Peach Blossom’
Card:  Craftwork Cards Straight Edge; Neenah Classic Crest Colouring Card
Ink: Tsukeniko Memento ‘Tuxedo Black’
Pens: Copics; Ranger Ink Essential ‘Opaque White’ (spots on scarf)
Tools: Spellbinders ‘Floral Ovals’; Memory Box ‘Thank You Script’
Embellishments: Mixed Rhinestones; Ranger Stickles ‘Star Dust’

Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,

Janet xx

A Cupboard Full Of Surprises

Good morning everyone, and a happy Wednesday to you!  It's my DT day for The Stamp Basket and I have  an absolute cutie to share with you.


The following ingredients are available from The Stamp Basket store
Stamped image:  Stampavie (Penny Johnson) - A Cupboard Full of Surprises
Colouring Medium: Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Stamp Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Design Papers: Dovecraft Curiosity Corner
Card Base: Craftwork Cards Straight Edge Size 6

I was a little bit daunted by the detail on this stamp, but honestly, once I got started it was a breeze, so don't let the intricacy put you off, it was great fun to use, and as always with Stampavie products, a great inked impression.

Don't forget, there are still bargains to be had at the Spring Clearance Sale.

Hugs to all, Squirrel xx

Mariella


Morning everyone,
I have a card to show today that doubles up as both a Mother’s Day card and a birthday card.

I’ve used the delightful image by Crafter’s Companion called ‘Mariella’ which I‘ve teamed with pretty Wild Rose Studio ‘Flights of Fancy’ papers.

 
 
The lettering of ‘Mum’ has been stamped using Papermania ‘Vintage Notes - Sentiments’. Both of these stamps and the papers are currently available in our Spring sale!
The image has been coloured with copics
 
 
 
I’ve used two of the new dies from the new Wild Rose Studio Spring Woodland Collection for this card: the gorgeous ‘Leafy Branch’ and the ‘Corner Flourish’ – in fact, two corner flourishes which I’ve joined together!
 
The flower and leaves have been made using the Memory Box Norrland Flower and Fabulous Flox.
Both have been coloured with copics.               
 
The single large butterfly is a Memory Box 'Vivienne Butterfly' die-cut and the 'Butterfly Border' is by Joy Crafts!
                          
                         
                                         Card Recipe:
 
Stamps: Crafter’s Companion ‘Mariella’; Docrafts Papermania ‘Vintage Notes - Sentiments’ (‘Mum’ lettering) (available in the Spring sale)
Papers: Wild Rose Studio ‘Flights of Fancy’ (available in the Spring sale)
Card:  Neenah Classic Crest Colouring Card

Picked Sweet

I'm using my first pages of the lovely new Wild Rose Studio Antique Library Paper pad today, and all I can say is every page in this set is going to be used (and that's quite unusual for me, because there's usually some pages that I am not so keen on).  Not so with this pad, they're all lovely.

I've also used my new Wild Rose Studio Corner Flourish die, and boy, does this die cut well.  All those fiddly bits inside the flowers just fall out so easily, it is lovely to use.  I've used two of the die cuts, and they just overlapped by a few millimetres, so I snipped off a small smidgeon and you can barely see the join as they shape around the card base.  I've popped different sized pearls into the middles of each flower.

Mouse on Bluebell

I'm back in full Wild Rose Studio mode again today (another hat trick with image, papers and dies all from the WRS new release).  I'm also back in purple mode so prepare yourselves for some purple overload!

I wasn't sure how to use the new Flower Circle die at first, then I realised I could put a circle sentiment inside it, so I printed out a sentiment to fit, and it's perfect.  :0)

I also wanted some purple seam binding to match my colour theme, but didn't quite have the right shade, so I improvised, using some cream and running a purple copic over the top (using the wedge end of the marker).  It coloured really easily, and because I could use the same copic as I'd used in my image, the colour matched perfectly.

OK, brace yourselves.  There's a small sprinkling of purple coming up ...




Don't forget the Spring Sale at The Stamp Basket that's still running. Pop over to grab a crafty bargain or two!
