Lovers Swing 40th Anniversary

Hi Everyone

I was asked by a friend to make a 40th Anniversary card for her parents.  She had a poem all picked out to go inside and chose this gorgeous image from Digi Doodle Studios called Lover's Swing for me to colour up which I did with Copics.  I then used a Go Kreate die to cut it out and layer it.

The Card is a 7" Square and the patterned paper is from WRS.  I typed the sentiment on the laptop before printing the image.  The heart die is an unnamed die and I finished with Clear Red Heart Gems.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges

Green Hydrangea

Hi Everyone

Today is the start of the new challenge over at CCC Digi Creations 

The theme for this month is Monochrome and we are being sponsored by Delicious Doodles  I hope that you can come on over and play along with us

I chose to work with this image called Hydrangea Flower and I have coloured this with CopicsI used a very pale green to colour the flowers but it didn't show up very well in the photos.  

The Card blank is a 6" Square and the patterned papers are from a Wild Rose Studio Paper Pack.  Ihaven't used a doily for a while so thought would add one on this card.  The sentiment I typed on the laptop before printing the image.  I added some green pearl gems to finish off

Lollipop with a Tutorial!

Hi Everyone

It is the start of the new challenge over at Unicorn Challenge 


 The theme for this month is Stitching Real OR Faux (Not one of my favourite themes but we have a Stitcher on the DT and she chose this one lol!) She does some fabulous X Stitch if you would like to visit her blog HERE and leave her some comments she would love it. 

The iamge I used for my project is called Baby Words from Paper Nest Dolls

I have made one of my favourite types of cards for my DT project this time which is a Lollipop Card.  I have been asked several times how I make these so I am going to attempt to do step by step instructions for this post.  If I have missed anything out or you need to know anything else about how I made this then please feel free to email me at ljanners@hotmail.com or leave me a question in the comments and I will get back to you. I have never done a tutorial before so bear with me lol!

Step 1. I Cut out the image out using a Go Kreate circle die and then two larger circles one for layering and one for the reverse


                                                                                                                                                                                            






Step 2. I glued the frill onto both the front and back





 
 


 Step 3. I used red tape (double sided sticky tape) to attach the straw to one side.  I put some more on the top side ready to attach the back.  I also glued around the frill on both sides so that when they are sandwiched together they are secured with two layers of glue









Step 4. I pressed the back onto the front sandwiching the straw between both












Step 5.  I glued on the image.  If you have a message or info to go onto the back like baby's weight etc then print this info and cut out in a circle the same size as the image and glue on now






 

Step 6. I Added embellishments , bows, Roses etc




Step 7. My Lollipop is now finished!



I hope that you found this helpful in creating your own Lollipop Cards.  I love seeing the different ones around Blogland.

Annoying Wife!

Hi Everyone

Today I am sharing with you the anniversary card I have made for my Husband for tomorrow.  We have been married 11 years tomorrow and the sentiment that came with this image which I placed inside the card is so perfect lol.

The Image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is called Young Couple - Person to Annoy and I have coloured with Copics

I followed the current sketch at Catch The Bug (One of Bugaboo's Challenges) 




My Card is a 5" x 7" and the patterned paper is from a Joy paper bloc.  The sentiment on the front is hand stamped using a Memento Tuexedo Black Ink Pad and is from Stampingallday.  I used a Tonic Studios die to cut the banner and finished by adding blue pearl heart gems just to decorate up a bit!

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges

Batty About You!

Hi Everyone

It Tuesday and my last post this month for Digi Doodle Studios 



For my inspirational project this time I have used Going Batty and coloured it up using Copics.  Am in CAS mode at the moment lol.  I go through these phases every now and then where I see lots of lovey CAS cards and it gets me in that kind of mood. It happens to me with colours too.  I see lots of nice cards made using a certain colour then I go into that colour mode. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me??

As my Card is CAS there isn't much to say about it really.  It's a 5 x 7 " Card and I typed the sentiment when I Printed the image.  I layered the Image and a White layer onto Black Card and also mounted the sentiment onto this too.

It's a Red, White & Blue Theme

Hi Everyone

It is the start of the new challenge today over at A Gem of A Challenge 



The theme for the next fortnight is Red, White & Blue.

I used one of the fabulous Hand Bag card kits that are available in the store together with this cute image called Thoughtful Chloe which I coloured using copics, fussy cut and sat on one of the buttons.  This hand bag card kit is British Handbag Card but there are lots of different ones to choose from.  You just print them, cut them out and glue them up.  

Visit the store to see them all HERE

I used some of the printed embellishments that came with the kit.  The buttons I punched out, the flower I cut out.  I added some small blue buttons from my stash to finish off.

I would like to enter this Hand bag card into the following Challenges

Monochrome Purples

Hi Everyone

It is time for the new challenge at Monochrome Magic 


The theme for this month is Anything Goes Monochrome or Monochrome with a TWIST of Purples

Here is my DT card. Slightly different for me as there is no image. I hardly ever make a card that has no image but I really like how this one turned out.

The card is a 7" Scalloped Square and I cut the butterfly using a Wild Rose Studio Die.  I stamped the sentiment which is from Inkylicious and cut it out and layered it using a Cheery Lynn Banner Die.  I added Paper Flowers and finished off with clear flower gems.
