Your Love

 

I have a card to share today featuring a gorgeous new stamp from Dreamerland Crafts called Your Love Lifts Me Up.  

It does come with that beautiful sentiment but I decided to just use the girl and bird so that I could use this card for any occasion.

This is such a gorgeous stamp set and I loved colouring them.

I decided they were so sweet that they would work really well with this heart border die and I kept the card nice and simple.

Kisses

It's Day 2 of the sneak peek at the new releases at CC Designs.
Today the Design Team are showcasing images by Roberto's.
When I first saw this stamp I actually did a little squeal of delight!  Actually it was probably quite a big squeal! :)
It's called Kisses and this little girl is just so much like my Granddaughter Layla.  And it is exactly how our cat Indie looks when he's trying to cope with her cuddles and kisses too!
I just love this image SO MUCH!

I also used the CC Designs Heart Border die and the Sentiment is from the Happy Harvest set that was released last month.

Bubble Heart

A friend of mine is having an engagement party this weekend and of course I wanted to make a card for her. But when I looked through my stamps (and I have quite a few!) there didn't seem to be anything quite right.
So I decided to do some shopping :)
I found this gorgeous stamp by Mo Manning called Bubble Heart and just had to have it! I thought it was so sweet and would be perfect for the happy couple :)

There is a wonderful sketch over at Sketch Saturday this week and it's definitely a "keeper".  I love the clean and simple design of it and just had to play along with their challenge.

Card : x-press it, crumb cake, winter fun (carta bella), vintage summer (little yellow bicycle), head over heels (EP)

Shopping Nancy

I have a card for CC Designs to share with you today.  This one is using a new release Roberto's image called Shopping Nancy.  She's very cute isn't she :)

I also used a new release CC designs die called the Baggie and Tag die.  I cut the Bag from velum paper and the tag from kraft.  One thing I love about the tag is that the hole is cut for you too. No more trying to punch a hole in the right spot!  And the bag is also just the right size to fit a gift card!  :)
The papers are from a MME pad called Kate and Co and the sentiment piece on the bag is also from this pad .  The little hearts are cut from the CC Designs Heart Border Die.

I coloured her with copics, trying to match the colours in the paper.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Shopping Nancy
Card : x-press it, black, naturals ivory, kraft, vellum paper, Kate and Co (MME)
Ink : memento black
Other : Baggie and Tag die, Heart Border Die, pip taffeta ribbon, hemp twine, copics

Monet's Butterfly

It's time for a new challenge over at the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Blog and this time the challenge is to use Lots Of Layers. 
I used this gorgeous stamp by A Random Fan called Monet's Butterfly.  It was my first time using a Random Fan stamp and I really loved it.  She is so sweet and cute and lots of fun to colour.

I also used the Happy Day sentiment set by CC Designs.
The Heart Border Die is also from CC Designs and adds a really sweet touch I think.
The pretty paper is by Magnolia and is called Dot Roses.  I also used 3 pink buttons and some light pink web ribbon.

Copics Used :

R 30, 81, 83, 85

Beach Ball Birgitta

It's new release preview time at CC Designs and I have made a card with a gorgeous new stamp called Beach Ball Birgitta.  She's so very cute isn't she!

It's not exactly beach weather here, we're heading for a top temperature of 15 degrees C. and it's raining too :(  But it has been lovely colouring her and making a beach card and dreaming of sunshiny days :)

To make the scene, I brayered pool party and tempting turquoise inks onto white card for the water. The waves are made using the CC Designs Cutters Heart Border Die.  Hopefully they look like waves anyway, pretty heart waves. And I used cork paper for the sand.

I coloured her with copics and used glossy accents on her sunglasses.

The sentiment is from the Happy Day set.

The Design Team are highlighting the new CC Designs images for June today so please head over to the CC Designs Blog to check out their fabulous cards using this and other new images.  And you could also win a voucher to spend in the store :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Beach Ball Birgitta,  Happy Day
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, cork paper, pool party, silver glimmer paper, Uncharted Waters (Glitz)
Ink : memento black, pool party, tempting turquoise
Other :  CC Designs Cutters Heart Border Die, subtles dots, glossy accents, brayer, copics
