Craft Heaven DT - Ice-Skating Card

 

Good evening!  I have another shaker card to show you today - but this time it is a shaker card and a slider card!

As usual I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have also used a white gel pen for the dots on her cheeks and eyes and Stardust Stickles on her ice skates and hat tassle.

Inside the shaker I have used the cute winter scene from Doohickey Volume 7 and pretend snow from my stash.

Watch the video to see Tilda in action!

Behind Tilda I have used the Winter Tree Doohickey die and used some of the pieces to make little drifts of snow too.  I have added touches of Glitter Snow around the edges of the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Life is a Rollercoaster!

 Good evening!  I am excited to share today's card with you.  It is one of those cards where the idea in my head actually turned out exactly how I imagined!  I have used Maja Design Celebration paper for the background of the card and I have cut the top with a die from Doohickey Volume 9.

I have painted Rollercoaster Tilda from the Class Trip Collection with Distress Inks using the no lines technique as always.  I have also used a white gel pen for the dots on her eyes and cheeks.

 As soon as I saw this fun image I thought that the Insta Film Strips Doohickey would look great as rollercoaster tracks - I'm so pleased with them!

They really make it look like Tilda is on a huge rollercoaster!  This card features a fun surprise for the recipient - click on the video link below to see how it works.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Commissioned Whiff of Joy card

I was really thrilled when my Brother's girlfriend asked me to make a card for her to give to someone after I gave her the "Gorjuss" bottle of wine. So this is my second "commission"!!

It has taken a lot of work as I decorated the inside and the envelope but I feel it has been worth it, I think this is my best card so far.

complete with matching envelope.......

The inside I'm really proud of. I can't remember where I've seen the idea, it was on the front of someone's card on their blog but I've looked and looked and can't find who's it was sorry, but suffice it to say it isn't my idea! I did it out of necessity really as the sentiment was too long and I didn't feel it would look right cut up. I had already planned to decorate the inside with the same image as on the front so it all sprang from there really, threading the sentiment onto some ribbon through the image panel. I'm so chuffed it worked! So when you open the card all you can see is "We're so" and then you pull the ribbon to reveal "proud of you". Will definitely be using this idea again.

Here are some details of the front. I have used my first charm and also you may notice that wahing powder net is back again this time coloured aqua with a few liquid pearls added. I also used my favourite New Year swirl stamp from Magnolia on the sentiments as they looked too white. I have done a yellow "candle glow" on Melinda's face too which I didn't think of doing before when I have coloured her.
