Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today :)
I have used a Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger.
They are very sweet aren't they!

 I have also used a new sentiment set by CC Designs called Happy Day and it's a great set.  The paper is Sweet Pea by Kaisercraft.  I have loved this sheet ever since I got the paper but it was too big for a card and I couldn't figure out a good way to use it.  Then I saw the great sketch at Sketch Saturday this week and realised that I could cut it into squares as they have done in the sketch and keep the nice border of flowers all around the card.  Yay!  I also used some flat-backed pearls and a Prima tea-thyme button.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger, Happy Day
Card : x-press it, black, crumb cake, Sweet Pea (Kaisercraft)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink
Other : pierced oval stax (MFT), hemp thread,  flat-backed pearls, Prima tea-thyme button, Copics

New Baby

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today.
I've used a gorgeous new Whimsy Stamp by Sylvia Zet called New Baby.
And isn't it adorable!

I also used the new Happy Day sentiment set by CC Designs.  I think this worked really well with the image.  It's cute and it meant the card could be used for a new baby or for a baby shower or when someone announces they're having a baby.  I have had a few occasions to make cards for people at work who are going on maternity leave and I like to give them something then, but don't know the happy details yet. This card would be perfect for that.

The papers are from a Crate Paper pad called Little Bo Peep and I also used the Magnolia Tilda Lace die.
I used a gem and a Prima Sun Kissed Button.

Ingredients :
Stamps : New Baby, Happy Day
Card : black, x-press it,  Little Bo Peep (Crate paper)
Ink : memento black
Other : pierced oval stax (MFT),  Magnolia Tilda Lace die, gem, Prima Sun Kissed Button, gold spica, copics

Birthday Cake Lucy

Hi,

I have some exciting news to share.  I am now a member of the CC Designs team :)  Yay!!!
I have loved CC Designs for a long time now and it's so wonderful to be a part of their team.
I've had lots of fun colouring and making cards with the new CC Designs April release.  All the stamps are so cute! They will be available to purchase from the CC Designs store on the 3rd of April.

For my first card I used a new  CC Designs stamp called Birthday Cake Lucy.  Isn't she gorgeous! The sentiment is also from a new set called Great Birthday Greetings.  It's full of wonderful Birthday sentiments and most of them are big enough to be a real focal point of the card.  I love them all, but I think this saying will definitely be used a lot :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Birthday Cake Lucy, Great Birthday Greetings (CC Designs)
Card : x-press it, black, crumb cake, Vintage Summer (Little yellow bicycle)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink
Other : big shot, opulent ovals (SB), pierced oval stax (MFT), subtles dots (SU), rhinestones, star dust stickles, copics

Copics used :

C 1, 5, 7, 9

I actually cut the cake out to and attached it with foam to give it more dimension. And if you haven't seen one before, the card is called a Tent Topper card. It's my first one - Super easy, but just a bit different :) There is a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial here if you'd like to try one too.

If you'd like to see what the rest of the design team created with one of their new CC Designs stamps please visit the Blog.
And please drop by again tomorrow to see another card I've made using a new CC Designs release.

Princess Of Hearts

Hi  :)

I have a card for Whimsy Stamps to show you today.  It is a design by Elisabeth Bell and it's called Princess Of  Hearts.  I think she is SO beautiful!

A week or so ago on my blog, I mentioned that I bought some cool grey copics.  Well this is what I really needed (that's really "wanted") them for.  I really wanted to colour her clothes black, red and gold (I did have to buy one gold copic too).  So it's my first attempt at using them and I'm happy with how it turned out.

I also used the Fairy Tale Dreams sentiment set, which is just perfect to use with this image.  I decided not to use the crown die this time as I wanted it to look as though it was the Princess' portrait hanging on the castle wall :)

Ingredients :
Stamps :  Princess Of Hearts., Fairy Tale Dreams
Card : black, x-press it, SU dsp
Ink : memento black, versamark
Other : big shot, opulent ovals (SB), oval pierced stax (MFT), pearls, black embossing powder, copics

Copics used :

C 5, 7, 9

R 00, 20, 27, 29, 30, 59

Tilda With Fantasy Flower

I have a card for Bunny Zoe Crafts to show you today.
I've used a Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Fantasy Flower.  She's very sweet isn't she!
You could use her for lots of occasions but I have run out of Thank You cards and I thought she would work perfectly on one.

The sentiment is a new one from Whimsy Stamps called Definitions Notables 7.  It's out of stock at the moment but just email Nikki and I'm sure she will get more in for you. It's a great sentiment set.

The beautiful blue papers are from a lovely pad by Echo Park called Head Over Heels.  I used the Magnolia Tilda Lace Die and the MFT Grassy Edges Die. And I also used star dust stickles, round gems and a Prima Tea-Thyme button.
Oh and my Copics of course :)

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges :
Magnolia Down Under Challenges - Hearts and Flowers
ABC Challenge - F is for flowers
Feeling Crafty Challenge - Dies and or punches
Sweet Magnolia Challenge Blog - love or hearts

Matryoshka Tilda

It's time for a new challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and our challenge this month is Stitching :)

I often use my sewing machine on cards now, I think it adds a little "something".  So I decided to challenge myself a bit more and add a little hand embroidery to it too.
I embroidered little roses onto the web ribbon simply by doing a french knot and a straight stitch for the stem and I was pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Isn't this stamp cute?  It's a new Magnolia stamp called Matryoshka Tilda.  I think I might just have to buy, a special little someone, one of these dolls to go with the card now :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Matryoshka Tilda (Magnolia)
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, Sweet pea (Kaisercraft)
Ink : memento black, antique linen and walnut stain distress ink
Other : big shot, Tilda Lace (Magnolia), opulent ovals (SB), Pierced oval stax (MFT), lt pink web ribbon, flat backed pearls, Tea Thyme button (Prima), linen thread, embroidery floss, copics

copics used :

YG 91, 93, 95

R 20, 30, 81, 83, 85

E 000, 00, 50, 53, 55

BG 0000, 000, 09, 10, 72, 75

Hopefully you can add some stitching to a card, in some form or other, and join in with the Bunny Zoe Challenge this month.

Thanks for dropping by for a look today :)
