Lili Of The Valley - Happy Couple

 Afternoon everyone

I'm back today with a beautiful digi stamp from Lili Of The Valley that helped launch their new wedding collection and their 18th birthday. To celebrate this, myself and all the current and old Design Team members have all joined up to colour up the same wedding couple digi stamp. If you haven't seen them yet, why not join us in the 'We Love Lili Of The Valley' facebook group. 

The digi stamp we used is called 'Happy Couple', which I partnered with an older sentiment. I watercoloured the image using distress re-inkers and pads, I'm still finding my way around the inks so be gentle. :) Hope you like it. (For Sale - £4.50 + P&P - please email me your request)

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

I cut to size a piece of pretty lilac patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6"scalloped card blank, leaving a slim border around the edges.

Using my software I imported the gorgeous wedding couple and sentiment - I added the 'On Your' myself. I resized everything to fit my project. The image was printed onto watercolouring paper using my laser printer. Distress re-inkers and pads were used to colour the stamp, my main colour palette was lilac.

When the image was dry I die cut it into a square, then matted it onto a lilac square mat and followed by a white fancy die cut square. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper, and then glued to the centre of the card front. To finish I added tiny white pearls in her hair and lilac pearls to the bottom section of the card.

Lili Of The Valley - Wedding Bunnies

Morning everyone

I'm sharing my latest Lili Of The Valley card using the gorgeous newly released 'wedding' collection. The new collection are not just perfect for weddings but also engagements, anniversaries and Valentine - basically all 'love' occasion. for my card I used the digi stamp version with watercolour paints, but the image is also available as a pre-coloured Simply Print. 

The stamp I used is called Wedding Bunnies; I partnered it with a sentiment from the Simply Sophisticated collection. I used Distress Re-inkers for the bunnies and distress inks in the background. I hope you like it. (For sale - £4.50 + P&P - requests by email please )  

I want to say a big thank you to my lovely friend and fellow Design teamies Annette for all her help and advice with the re-inkers. Please check out her cards and colouring as they're all stunning (https://nettyscards.blogspot.com). 

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

I cut to size a piece of blue watercolour effect patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6"card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

Using my software I imported the cute bunnies and the sentiment, then resized them both to fit my project. The scene was printed onto watercolouring card and die cut into a circle. The bunnie image was printed again onto masking paper and fussy cut out. The bunnie mask was placed over the images and blue distress ink was apply around them. When the ink was dry the mask was removed and the scene was coloured with distress re-inkers and distress pens. A blue scalloped frame was glued onto the circle around the bunnies, and then onto a white scalloped circle. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper, and then glued to the centre of the card front over the top of a lacy frame which I glued flat to the front of the card. To complete the card glitter and pearls were added.

Lili Of The Valley - Floral Frame

Afternoon everyone

I'm sharing another of my Lili Of The Valley wedding cards to celebrate their 18th birthday and  wedding collection launch on Thursday 12th May. Again I've used the same technique as yesterday. This time I foiled the digi stamp 'Floral Frame' which is beautiful and coloured it using Copic pens. The frame is blank on the inside so you can add whatever you like to it, on this occasion I added my own faux wedding congratulations card information to give you an idea of how it can look. Font information on request. The link will be added after the launch. 

As I mentioned in my previous post I do plan to create a tutorial on how to do foiling using a laser printer and laminator, this will be either in a written or video format...or possibly both. When the tutorial is completed I will add it to my Tutorial page (on this blog), the Lili Of the Valley website, and the 'We Love Lili Of Valley' facebook group.   

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

I cut to size a piece of pretty pink patterned paper to fit the front of a 5" x 7" top fold card blank, leaving a slim border around the edges.

Using my software I imported the gorgeous floral frame and add the faux wedding card sentiment and resized everything to fit my project. The image was printed onto colouring card using my laser printer.  A piece of gold foil was placed over the top of the image and text (shiny side up), and slotted inside a folded piece of copier paper and put through a laminating machine. When the card was cool I removed the sheet of foil, then coloured in the frame using Copic pens. 

The whole image was die cut into an indented rectangle, and mounted onto pink card. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper, and then glued to the centre of the card front. To finish the card pink and white pearls were added around the frame, plus a little glitter. 

Here's What I Used 

Digi Stamp: Floral Frame

Simply Print: Floral Frame

Copic Pens: Flowers & Hearts - RV02, RV10, RV13, RV14 / Leaves - YG01, YG03, YG17

Lili Of The Valley - Wedding Frame

Morning Everyone

Sorry I've been AWOL for a few weeks, but I've had my wonderful daughter visiting and I've not seen her for about 6mths due to work and Covid. We spent a wonderful time catching up, baking, cooking and sewing. She's now safely back with her partner, so it's time for me to do a little catching up of my own. As it happens Lili Of The Valley are celebrating their 18th birthday and launching a gorgeous wedding collection on Thursday 12th May. 

So today I'm sharing 'Wedding Bouquet' digi stamp which I coloured with Copic pens. The happy couples names were then added afterwards and foiled. I do plan to create a tutorial about how to foil using a laser printer and laminator, it will either be in a written or video format...or possibly both. When the tutorial is completed I will add it to my Tutorial page (on this blog), the Lili Of the Valley website, and the 'We Love Lili Of Valley' facebook group. The link will be added after the launch. 

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

I cut to size a piece of pretty lilac patterned paper to fit the front of a 5" x 7"card blank, leaving a slim border around the edges.

Using my software I imported the pretty bouquet and wedding date and resized everything to fit my project. The image was printed onto copier paper for placement information later. The image was printed again onto colouring card using my inkjet printer, then coloured in with Copic pens. I left the image/text on screen.

To add the foil - 

In my software I added the wedding couple's name 'Emily & Paul' in a script font directly over the bouquet image, then removed the bouquet image. The previously coloured image was taped onto the copier paper where it had been printed out before; this time I printed it out using a laser printer. A piece of gold foil was placed over the top of the printed text and slotted inside a folded piece of copier paper and put through a laminating machine. 

When the card was cool I removed the sheet of foil showing off the beautiful foiled text. The image was die cut with an oval die and mounted onto lilac card. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper, and then glued to the centre of the card front. To finish the card purple pearls were added to the top and bottom.

Here's What I Used 

Digi Stamp: Wedding Bouquet

Simply Print: Wedding Bouquet

Copic Pens: Flowers - V01, V04, V12, V15, RV02, RV10, RV13, RV14, Y15, Y38, B00, B02, YG01, YG03, YG17, YG63, YG67
