Here is the the card I have made:


I got me a Copic Air Compressor as I thought it would be great to use as I generally use an Ink Duster and Distress Ink to go around my image.  This is the first time I have used it and I think I definitely need a bit more practise that is for sure ;o) but I was pretty pleased how it turned out.

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 (cheeks)

TOTALLY GORJUSS - NEW!

Hey Everyone

Did you all have a nice Christmas and get everything you wished for?

I hope so - we went to my Sister's this year as it's the first Christmas they have had off for 10 years (they are both in the medical profession), so it was really nice and just to put the icing on the cake we managed to get a few minutes on Skype with my Nephew who is serving out in Afghanistan. Got to say it brought a lump to my throat when his little 18 month old daughter was telling him how much she missed him and was blowing him kisses and telling him she loved him - awww!

I'm going to be cleaning out my craft room this weekend - gulp - as I have so much stuff I either can't find anything or forgot where I put it - so wish me luck! ;o)


Well it's Saturday again - already - so that means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week the challenge is "New" and our generous sponsor is Lili of the Valley.

New can mean pretty much anything - a new house or a new baby or just anything new you have that you have used on your card.  So, to be in with a chance to win £10 to spend in the Lili of the Valley on line shop get your creations made and posted over at Totally Gorjuss and don't forget to check out what the lovely DT ladies have made to whet your appetite.

TOTALLY GORJUSS - NOT SQUARE

Hi Everyone

Firstly I need to apologise for my lack of commenting; I have been having horrible problems with blogger and the 'comments' section over the last couple of weeks, (even though everything else on there seemed to be working fine), so much so I had to get one of our IT bods at work to finally sort it out for me which he did today - thank you Rich - you are a lifesaver and I hope you enjoy your bottle of wine!

So I will be getting round to see you all over the next few days - I have been looking I just haven't been able to comment - weird :os - but thank you all for your comments - you really are the best.

I would like to say a big "HELLO" to my new follower - thank you - I'm very flattered that you have chosen to follow my work :o)



It's Saturday again (where did the week go too?) and that means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week the theme is "Not Square" and our super generous sponsor is The Hobby House.

Now I have to admit, I really struggled with this challenge as everything I seem to make is square so I decided to make the square a little bit bigger at the sides and made a rectangle - ha ha ha ;o)

Here is the full card:


I've had this fab stamp from Sugar Nellie for quite some time but just never got around to inking her - a bit like all the other rubber stamps sat in my cupboard un-inked - bad Hazel!  I keep telling myself that I will rectify this and I will use the stamps I have bought before buying any others, but as always, I end up seeing some stamps that 'I just have to have' and the cycle continues!

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Stamp:  Sugar Nellie - Fifi Goes Shopping
Papers:  Carta Bella - Winter Fun
Big Snowflake Die:  Cheery Lynn - Snowflowers Set 2
Small Snowflake Die:  Cheery Lynn - Snowflakes
Corner Die:  Whimsy - Corner Die Set
Banner Die:  Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags Stax
Border Die:  Doohickey - Mini Zig Zag & Scalloped Lace
Sentiment Stamp:  Papertrey Ink - Signature Christmas

The image has been coloured with Copics:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  E27 E25 E35 E34
Jacket, Hat and Doggie Jumper:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N0 (shading)
Boots:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N7 N5 N3
Presents and Bags:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 / B01 BG000 BG0000 /
E43 E42 E41 E40 / N1 (shading)
Dog:  E35 E34 E31 E30

I have outlined the image with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
The papers have been edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink
I have used absolutely oodles of Glamour Dust on her hat, jacket, boots and doggie jumper and all over the snowflakes but as usual you can't really see it on the picture due to my rubbish photography skills!

If you like the scalloped die there is a whopping 40% discount off it - and it comes with another border die too - click HERE to go and have a look - what a bargain!

One final picture where you can see I have copied the layout through to the inside of the card:


And that's it.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for all your lovely comments.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Take care

Toodle Pip

DIES TO DIE FOR - SPRING - DIE-ING FOR A CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Hello to my new follower - Michelle Lawson - thank you so much for visiting me, I am totally flattered.

How are you all?  I have my main man down poorly, my little man down poorly and my Mum is poorly - I'm running around like a headless chicken!

I had a great time at the GNPE show in Harrogate; I got to meet up with lots of lovely ladies from Blogland and spent a whole load of money too - we are worth it though aren't we ;o)

Now this is a long post so I hope you will stay with me.



There is a new challenge over at Die-ing for a Challenge where the theme this week is "Spring".
Don't forget you can bag yourself a whooping £25 voucher to spend in the fabulous Dies to Die For store.  Wouldn't it be great to win with lots and lots of new products in the Dies to Die For store; but as always you have to be in it to win it so dig out your dies, Big Shots, Sizzix, Cuttlebugs, Grand Caliburs and starting crafting.

Now there are a few rules to observe which are:

* You must link back to the Dies to Die for Blog

* Only 2 Entries per person please
* Entries which fail to observe the above will be removed and will not be eligible for the prize

 So what are you waiting for?  Get your entries in over at Die-ing for a Challenge and make sure you check out what the lovely DT girlies have made - beautiful as ever.

Today I would like to share with you a card I have made using one of my favourite stamps from Wee Stamps called Spring Bringer; she is just adorable and I'm hoping she will bring some Spring weather for us really soon.

Here is the full card:


The recipe for the card is:

Papers:  My Minds Eye - The Sweetest Thing - Lavender
Stamp:  Whimsy - Wee Stamps - Spring Bringer
Corner Die:  Magnolia Doohickey - Cute Corner
Flowers Die:  Memory Box - Fancy Blossoms
Butterfly Die:  Cheery Lynn - Mini Dimensional Butterflies

The image has been coloured with Copics, Promarkers and Flexmarkers:

Skin:  E11 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  E34 E53 E51 E50
Clothes and Wings:  RV00 RV000 RV0000 / Satin (PM) / Antique White (FM) / E0000
Flowers:  R27 R22 R20 / YG63 YG61

I have outlined the image with Phthalo Blue Tint Pan Pastel
The papers have been outlined with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
I have used a generous amount of glitter on the wings

Here is a close up of that gorgeous Magnolia Doohickey die:


As you can see I have covered over all the little holes with pearls.

And here is a final picture of the flowers:


To make these I die cut them out on normal white textured card and then coloured them with the Pale Pink Promarker and the darker colour is a Copic R22 - easy peasy huh, you can create whatever coloured flower you like.

Have a great week.

Did you all have a nice Christmas and get everything you wished for?

I hope so - we went to my Sister's this year as it's the first Christmas they have had off for 10 years (they are both in the medical profession), so it was really nice and just to put the icing on the cake we managed to get a few minutes on Skype with my Nephew who is serving out in Afghanistan. Got to say it brought a lump to my throat when his little 18 month old daughter was telling him how much she missed him and was blowing him kisses and telling him she loved him - awww!

I'm going to be cleaning out my craft room this weekend - gulp - as I have so much stuff I either can't find anything or forgot where I put it - so wish me luck! ;o)


Well it's Saturday again - already - so that means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week the challenge is "New" and our generous sponsor is Lili of the Valley.

New can mean pretty much anything - a new house or a new baby or just anything new you have that you have used on your card.  So, to be in with a chance to win £10 to spend in the Lili of the Valley on line shop get your creations made and posted over at Totally Gorjuss and don't forget to check out what the lovely DT ladies have made to whet your appetite.

Here is the card I have made:

MINI MIMOSA

Hello Everyone

I hope you all had a good weekend, not long now until Christmas finally arrives - gulp - I still have so much to do - including lots of Christmas cards still to make! :oO


Today I would like to share with you a card I have made using the just oh so cute Mini Mimosa Snowflake.  These stamps are just amazing, they are as they say 'mini' with all the same fabulous detail of a normal sized stamp.

Here is the full card:


The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Bildmilarna - Mini Mimosa - Snowflake
Papers:  Bildmilarna - Frosty Christmas - Mr Snowman
Snowflake Die:  Memory Box - Frostyville Wreath (I just snipped it to make a border)
Image Border Die:  Spellbinders - Floral Ovals
Corner Die:  Cheery Lynn - Lace Corner Deco A (I snipped this one to make it smaller)
Tag:  Magnolia Doohickey - Memory Tag
Sentiment Die:  Go Kreate - Rectangle Frilly #1
Flowers and Lace:  From My Stash
Sentiment Stamps:  Lili of the Valley - Christmas Handwritten Phrases

I have coloured the image with Copics, Promarkers and Flexmarkers:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  E53 Y21 Y11
Hat and Dress:  B01 B00 B000 B0000 / R27 R24 (heart on the hat)
Gloves, Boots and Scarf:  Satin (Promarker) / Antique White (Flexmarker) / E0000
Shading:  W5 W3 W1 W0

I have used a Cool Grey 50% Prismacolour pencil for shading on the image

The image has been outlined with Iced Spruce Distress Ink
All the papers and everything else has been edged in Walnut Stain Distress Ink

I have used Glamour Dust around all the edges of pretty much everything that you can see on the card and for the snowflake on the image

Here is a picture of the inside of the card where you will see that I have followed the layout through to match the front:


And one final picture of the tag:


Phew - and that's it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

TOTALLY GORJUSS - NOT SQUARE

Hi Everyone

Firstly I need to apologise for my lack of commenting; I have been having horrible problems with blogger and the 'comments' section over the last couple of weeks, (even though everything else on there seemed to be working fine), so much so I had to get one of our IT bods at work to finally sort it out for me which he did today - thank you Rich - you are a lifesaver and I hope you enjoy your bottle of wine!

So I will be getting round to see you all over the next few days - I have been looking I just haven't been able to comment - weird :os - but thank you all for your comments - you really are the best.

I would like to say a big "HELLO" to my new follower - thank you - I'm very flattered that you have chosen to follow my work :o)



It's Saturday again (where did the week go too?) and that means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week the theme is "Not Square" and our super generous sponsor is The Hobby House.

Now I have to admit, I really struggled with this challenge as everything I seem to make is square so I decided to make the square a little bit bigger at the sides and made a rectangle - ha ha ha ;o)

Here is the full card:


I've had this fab stamp from Sugar Nellie for quite some time but just never got around to inking her - a bit like all the other rubber stamps sat in my cupboard un-inked - bad Hazel!  I keep telling myself that I will rectify this and I will use the stamps I have bought before buying any others, but as always, I end up seeing some stamps that 'I just have to have' and the cycle continues!

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Stamp:  Sugar Nellie - Fifi Goes Shopping
Papers:  Carta Bella - Winter Fun
Big Snowflake Die:  Cheery Lynn - Snowflowers Set 2
Small Snowflake Die:  Cheery Lynn - Snowflakes
Corner Die:  Whimsy - Corner Die Set
Banner Die:  Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags Stax
Border Die:  Doohickey - Mini Zig Zag & Scalloped Lace
Sentiment Stamp:  Papertrey Ink - Signature Christmas

The image has been coloured with Copics:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  E27 E25 E35 E34
Jacket, Hat and Doggie Jumper:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N0 (shading)
Boots:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N7 N5 N3
Presents and Bags:  BG78 BG75 BG18 BG72 / N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 / B01 BG000 BG0000 /
E43 E42 E41 E40 / N1 (shading)
Dog:  E35 E34 E31 E30

I have outlined the image with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
The papers have been edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink
I have used absolutely oodles of Glamour Dust on her hat, jacket, boots and doggie jumper and all over the snowflakes but as usual you can't really see it on the picture due to my rubbish photography skills!

If you like the scalloped die there is a whopping 40% discount off it - and it comes with another border die too - click HERE to go and have a look - what a bargain!

One final picture where you can see I have copied the layout through to the inside of the card:


And that's it.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for all your lovely comments.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Take care

Toodle Pip
