Live & Love Crafts DT Card

Hello everyone yay its the weekend, ya gotta lurve the weekends.
Ok so I'm here with this weeks theme which is Checks/Stripes, I have gone for checks. I actually made the base of this card beginning of this week but only finished it last night when I finally chose an image lol. Its usually the other way around for me lol.
I have used gorgeous Maja Design papers for this one.

I have added a beautiful resin charm which you can just see, for some reason my camera hasn't picked things up very well. On the tag there is a 'Butterfly ClipS' which are on special here right now.

A better look at the papers inside the card. For the shape I used a Go-Kretae die.

I have used a Saturated Canary image for this one, I lurve this image, She is a Little Darlings stamp called 'Puppy Luv' but I've just used one of the stamps. I coloured her with distress markers.

There is also 'Cheese Cloth' under all there somewhere lol. The tag also has a Stempelglede sentiment on it. All links to products used are below.

Well thats it for me I'm off to the gym now build some mus-kulls ;0)
Tatty bye & hope you all have a creative weekend our lovelies

Live & Love Crafts Challenge - Wings

Hello my lovelies how are you all? Well its time for a new challenge over at the Live & Love Crafts Blog.......wow these months are flying by!! It will soon be time for the jolly fella in red to come woo hoo. Tbh I brought the first crimbo present beginning of August...........I dont normally start til September but.........well grandchildren need to be spoilt by grandparents........ ;0)

Ok back to the challenge where the thewme this month is...........
WINGS
.............how super easy is that. I have the card I was gonna use last wednesday for my inspirational post...........so yep its another LOTV image..........its an addiction that I dont plan on having treatment for ;0)
I have again used the new gorgeous Pion Winters Day papers, they really are lush. These ones are 'Christmas Eve' 6x6 & all have been inked with walnut & machine stitched.

The poinsettia I made with a La La Land die & it got inked with pumice stone then sprayed with lots of Glimmer Mist then added a silver Metal Rose to the centre from Live & Love Crafts.

I added Pom Pom trim to the side & all the flowers are from LLC, including the 'Frosted Berries' which I love. I also added a 'Fir Cone' & bits of 'Snowtex' over all the flowers. 

This darling LOTV image is one of the latest christmas ones & one of my faves, it's called 'A Little Prayer' & again I did Elise's effect with the embossing but this one I coloured with Copics. I did this & the snowman family the same night & wanted to compare with copic vs distress ink ;0)
Colours used are........
E11, E21, E00, E000, RV21
E29, E25, E23, E21
RV99, RV95, RV93, RV91
C5, C3, C1
I also added Tim Holtz Picket Fence glitter to the bottom as snow, I love how thick this glitter is. Of course I also added White Fran-Tage around the image ;0)

The lace along the bottom is gorgeous 'Crocheted Pearl Lace 22mm', I lurve all the little pearls on it. I also added a 'Silver Snowflake' on the end, again with a touch of Snowtex. I added a beautiful 'Resin Angel'  to the bottom as well, I chose this one as she is praying aswell.......perfect together.
The banner I made myself using a LOTV 'Christmas Handwritten Phrase' stamp.

Well thats it from me peeps, for most of these yummy goodies used on my card & much MUCH more pop on over to Live & Love Crafts & feast your eyes on the gorgeousness that Sandy stocks. Think I'm due for a shopping trip as well mind............I've not brought any crafty goodies for ages!!

LOTV Guest Designer Card

Hello everyone I'm here today with my last card for LOTV as their Guest Designer for August, boo hoo :0( I have to say I'm so proud, honoured & extremely thankful that I got chosen to be a Guest designer & totally loved it. Thank you soooooooo much LOTV for having me. Ok as I'm running late I will make this a quickie post.
Ok so onto my last card & again I've used James Bear..........this is my favourite James stamp :0)
I've used Maja Design papers, inked the edges & machine stitched. 
The top layer I cut into a flag shape to add some interest & also stamped 'Love You' with LOTV 'Handwritten Phrases' sentiment stamp.


I decorated inside to compliment the front, again with the flag shape. A space will be added to write a personal message on.

I've added gorgeous lace & tulle to the side. The sentiment is LOTV 'Pretty Grunge Relations' & I added a couple of small pearls to it.

The fabulous stamp is 'James Umbrella' & I coloured him with distress markers & added pearl dots using a pearl pen. I also added glossy accents to the puddle but you cant see it in the pic :0(
The fences are 'Lovely Fence' from Magnolia.

The 'Sister' charm is from my stash. The leaves are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns'.
All of the flowers, the lace, the tulle & the Maja Design papers are all from Live & Love Crafts, who have a relaunch sale on til midnight tonight if you want to go shopping for the most beautiful shabby chic & vintage products there is.

Ok thats it from me hope you have enjoyed my cards for LOTV, I certainly enjoyed making them.
Thank you sooooooooooo much for stopping by.

Huge hugs to all mmwah
