Mountain Lily

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today that I made quite a while ago using the gorgeous Whimsy ‘Mountain Lily’ stamp.

The gorgeous papers are My Mind’s Eye ‘Lavender’…I just can’t get enough of this pad…so soft and feminine!

I’ve used two sentiments on this card: Whimsy ‘Ticket Notes’ and Wild Rose Studio ‘Circle Greetings’. The Memory Box ‘Frostyville Wreath’ has been cut from Bazzill ‘Fawn’ which co-ordinates really well with the pinks in these papers.

Here’s a close up of the image coloured with copics:

Recipe:

Stamps: Whimsy ‘Mountain Lily’; Whimsy ‘Ticket Notes’ and Wild Rose Studio ‘Circle Greetings’ (in the sale)

Christmas Teddies

Hello and welcome to the blog today. Edna here with my card for this week 

and I've chosen this gorgeous group of teddies from Wild Rose Studio to play with!

Stamp - Wild Rose Studio - Christmas Teddies

Papers - Teresa Collins - Christmas Cottage

Dies - Memory Box - Frostyville wreath; Frostyville border

Ribbon - red satin

Pearls - 5mm snow white

Pearl brads - snow white

Gems - clear

Sentiment - Molly Bloom - Happy Christmas

Art Institute crystal glitter

The image is coloured with Promarkers (PM) and Copics (C)

Bears - Putty (C), Pastel beige, satin (PMs)

Mummy bears hat and scarf - Sand, Chamois, Light Walnut (Cs)

Dad's scarf - Burnt Sienna, Walnut, Umber (PMs)

Baby bears hat and scarf - Burgundy, Berry Red, Poppy Red (PMs)

The texture on the teddy bears is achieved by dotting some drops of blending solution onto a piece of cheesecloth (you could use gauze) and dabbing it over the sections you want to look 'furry'. I usually do this after colouring in teddies or dogs etc and before I add the other colours. Allow the blending solution to dry thoroughly before you continue colouring. :)

I hope you enjoy today's card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Bildmalarna Scarf



Hi all,

I have a little treat for you today...a beautiful card from June...although sadly, it is her last card as guest designer for The Stamp Basket...how time flies!

June has used a stamp from Bildmalarna called 'Scarf'.

How cute is this stamp? I just love Mimosa's sweet expression...aah...the innocence of childhood!

June has very cleverly combined a mix of papers...GDC Studios 'Joyful Peace', Papermania 'At Christmas Time' and a piece of Bazzill Kraft Card embossed using one of our Spellbinder embossing folders which she has then inked around the edges to give a distressed look.

As June said on her lovely blog "I would like to thank Janet for being so lovely. I've really enjoyed myself using the lovely DT pack"...ah, June that's so sweet of you...we have really enjoyed having you on the team and will miss your beautiful cards so much! We hope you'll feel much better soon.  

The ingredients for June's card are...........

Craftwork scalloped card

Stamp... Bildmarlana little winged friends scarf

Marianne creatables holly branches

Papers....GCD Studios Joyful peace

and Papermania 'At Christmas Time' 

Memory box frostyville wreath

Beresford super sheer white ribbon

Vintage style ribbbon moss

Small red button from the Christmas Button mix

Rhinestones and pearls

Before I go, just a gentle reminder about the special offers on Wild Rose Studio stamps, papers and printed panels over at our online store. Offer ends at 9-00a.m. GMT on Wednesday 21st November 2012.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hugs,

Janet xx

Christmas Birdie (and a bit of red!)

It's Saturday, so it's Annette here to share another card to share today on behalf of The Stamp Basket.  This one is bright red, a colour I don't usually use, but I was inspired by the cute papers and gorgeous bright ribbon that I'd picked out.  Plus the girlie in the image looked like she needed a red coat and hat.

I really love the holly paper in this card.  It is quite soft, and because it is quite a busy pattern, it does not show up the imperfections in my cutting around the shaped card.  Here's a tip guys, never,  I repeat NEVER, try to cut around a shaped card with a plain backing paper. Oh my word, it shows up EVERY little imperfection in your shape, however careful you might think you're cutting around it.  A busy pattern seems to hide them all.  Love it !!

I've used some gorgeous shimmery red ribbon as an accent on this card, and some super cute snowflake dies.  I really love the Memory Box Frostyville Wreath.  It looks fab against the deep red papers.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Nellie Snellen Christmas Birdie
• Card base - Elegant Square
• Papers - Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Christmas & Papermania At Christmas Time
• Circle die - Memory Box Frostyville Wreath
• Corner die - Memory Box Snowflake Corner
• Snowflake dies - Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant
• Ribbon - Berisfords Satin Ribbon Red
• Pearls - 5mm, 4mm & 3mm Snow White pearls
• Brad - Hobby House 8mm Pearl Brad
• Glitter - Glamour Dust Crystal
• Liquid Pearls - White Opal

Happy crafting everyone. Have a fab weekend.

Hugs

Annette

Sharing a Biscuit

It's Annette here again today with card to share on behalf of The Stamp Basket.  I know I only posted yesterday, but I couldn't help but be inspired by these beautiful Nitwits papers.

This card is so 'me' with the soft blues and white snowflakes.  The backing papers are from the Nitwits Joyful Hearts collection and the quality is utterly amazing.  When I call it backing 'paper', it is even thicker than my card base and just feels gorgeous.  I really had to force myself to use it because it just felt too good to cut up with its lovely fabric appearance.

The adorable image is from Nellie Snellen.   I've not coloured her before and I know she is already one of my favourites from the collection with the cute little squirrel.

I am also addicted to Glamour Dust. It is so much finer in texture than stickles and looks fantastic.  You need some clear wet glue (I use glossy accents) and sprinkle it on, and you get a stunning sparkle.

Hope you like my card.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Nellie Snellen Sharing a Biscuit
• Card base - Elegant Edge
• Papers - Nitwits Joyful Hearts Swirls Blue
• Circle die - Memory Box Frostyville Wreath
• Snowflake dies - Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant
• Ribbon - Vintage Style Limoges
• Pearls - 5mm, 4mm & 3mm Snow White pearls
• Glitter - Glamour Dust Crystal

Happy crafting

Hugs

Feeding Robins

Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying the great weather we are having at the moment!! I have a contemporary card to show you today using an image from the Wild Rose Studio Annabelle’s Christmas collection called ‘Feeding Robins’…this is such a lovely stamp...(sorry about the quality of the photo)

 

 

The papers are again from the Annabelle's Christmas Collection...I just love the rich colour of these papers! I’ve decorated the inside of the card using the same papers, too...unfortunately, I didn't notice the wonky matting until after the glue had dried...and by then it seemed such a shame to waste these gorgeous papers in the bin!

 

 

The sentiment is from the Wild Rose Studio ‘Christmas Circles’ stamp set layered onto one of the snowflakes from the Spellbinders 2012 Snowflake Pendant set (just arrived in store) which I’ve blinged using glamour dust! I’ve also used one of my favourite Memory Box dies on this card, too…the Frostyville Wreath…this die adds such a lovely delicate touch to cards!

...all the stamps and papers used on this card are on special offer this weekend over at The Stamp Basket!

Recipe:

Stamp: Wild Rose Studio ‘Feeding Robins’

Papers: ‘Annabelle’s Christmas’

Card: Bazzill Emma

Tools: Memory Box ‘Frostyville’; Spellbinders ‘2012 Snowflake Pendant’

Embellishments: 3mm, 4mm and 5mm The Hobby House Snow white pearls; Berisfords Super Sheer White ribbon; Deco Art Glamour dust; Ranger Stickles – star dust; Ranger Liquid Pearls – white opal; Inkssentials white opaque pen. 

Many thanks for stopping by….hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs,

Janet xx
