Elsie With Daisies

I have some very exciting news to share.  I have been asked to stay on at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and become a permanent member of their Design Team!   WooHooo!!!  I am so excited!!! Lucky Me :) 

I get to be a part of this very talented team and they are the loveliest ladies to work with too!   

Thanks so much Nikki :)

 It's new challenge time at Bunny Zoe's Crafts!  And this month the challenge is:

Love/Hearts

I used this adorable image from Wild Rose Studio called  Elsie With Daisies, isn't that kitten soooo cute!!!
She reminded me of my cat Indie, so I just had to colour her white and grey too.

I also used a new Whimsy sentiment stamp called Definitions notables 7. It actually has a definition under the word "Love" but I used it like a tab behind the image so you can't see that part :)
I used an older Whimsy sentiment set too; Birthday Letter Seals.

I used the Frilly Banner Die by CC Designs, I love this die, it adds a really sweet touch I think and I added Antique Linen Distress Ink to the edges.

The paper is by Echo Park and is from a pad called Head Over Heels.  I especially love this hugs and kisses paper and there are a lot of other great love/valentine papers in it which are very cute. It is double- sided though and there are lots of  patterns and plains that you could use for any occasion.

I coloured it with my copics of course and added some Star dust Stickles to the centre of the flowers.

This is a photo of  Indie when he was a kitten, he's a bit bigger and greyer now, but he's still very cute :)




I hope you'll join us for our Love/ Hearts challenge this month at Bunny Zoe's.  It's not just about Valentine's Day :)

Banner Kiki La Rue

I made this card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts using the super cute Banner Kiki La Rue by CC Designs.
Isn't she adorable!!!
My youngest daughter loved her because of her hair (it's just like hers) and she LOVED her boots - she said she wants some just like them! (But that's a "no")  :)

I also got to use a die by CC Designs called the Frilly Banner Die, which of course worked perfectly with her :)  I also added the Bow Die  by Whimsy stamps to the banner and they look great together I think.

All the papers are from a Kaisercraft pad called Sweet Pea and there are some gorgeous designs in it.
Some of them are even embossed and glossy, like the dot paper I used here.  The scalloped piece is a die-cut from the pad too.

Marshmallows and Coffee

 I have a card to show you today using some gorgeous Whimsy products.  The stamp is by Time For Tea Designs and is called Marshmallows and Coffee.  I really love this stamp, it's so beautiful!

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I'm an Irish Breakfast Tea addict.  But I'm kind of imagining she's having hot chocolate with marshmallows instead.
The paper is from Whimsy too and is from a beautiful collection of blue papers called Winter Frost.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Marshmallows and Coffee, Birthday Letter Seals
Card : crumb cake, x-press it, Winter Frost
Ink : memento black, crumb cake
Other : copics

These Whimsy stamps can also be purchased at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

I hope you get some time today to enjoy a coffee, tea or hot chocolate and cherish the moment :)

Cherish Wyanet

The challenge on the Whimsy Stamps Blog this month is to make a card which is Shabby Chic or Vintage.
I don't tend to do that style of card very much.
Possibly my card is a Clean Shabby Chic one?  I'm not sure that's even possible but perhaps I've created a new style! :)

This stamp is called Wyanet (Beautiful) and it's by Syliva Zet.  She really is gorgeous isn't she!
I thought I might colour her with my warm greys (there is just hint of pink on her cheeks) and try to bring a vintage, sepia photo feel to it.

Hopefully you'll join us in the challenge this month, and you may even be lucky enough to win a prize :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Wyanet, Birthday Letter Seals
Card : suede, crumb cake, x-press it, SU dsp, subtles core'dinations
Ink : memento black, crumb cake, baja
Other : big shot, circle nesties, double scallop doily die, fancy fan ef, crumb cake seam binding, subtles candy dots, fran-tage, copics

Enjoy it

 

I made this card using a really beautiful image from the Little Cottage Cuties Collection by Elisabeth Bell called Summer Ice Cream.  It is a new August release stamp available now at Whimsy Stamps.

I just love this stamp it is so very sweet!  It was lots of fun to colour too!

I paper-pieced the two patches on her jeans with the same paper I used for the background.  I cut that into squares too and zigzag stitched it to mimic the sewn patches.

I would like to enter the Sizzling Summer Days challenge at Elisabeth Bell’s World  with this card too.  I have only just discovered this challenge blog and it looks like it has lots of inspiration there.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps :  Summer Ice Cream, Birthday Letter Seals

Card : crumb cake, x-press it, subtles dsp stack SU, blue paper ?

Ink : memento black, pool party

Party Cow

 

This super cute cow is another wonderful stamp from the Whimsy Stamps July Release.  It is by Crissy Armstrong and is called You Moove Me.

I coloured her with my copics and I cut an extra head out and stuck it on top with glue dots so that I could give her a little extra dimension.

The sentiment is from a great set called Birthday Letter Seals.  There are lots of great sayings in this set but amazingly it doesn’t have “Party ‘til the cows come home” in it!!! :)  So I used this birthday wishes seal but I made the cow part myself on the computer and coloured that part in too.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : You Moove Me, Birthday Letter Seals

Card : x-press it, black, subtles dsp stack (SU)

Ink : memento black

Other : copics, gold spica pen, big shot, woodgrain ef, bakers twine, subtles button, subtles candy dots (SU)

 

I really loved colouring this gorgeous cow.  I think I will be making lots more cards with her and using lots of cow puns too!  If you have any good ones please write and let me know :)
