MilkCoffee Showcase – Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas one and all. Here in the UK it is Boxing Day which usually means turkey sandwiches for dinner and a lot of clearing up. I had my family over which meant there were eight mouths to feed not including three very excitable dogs! Phew!

Anyway before I roll up my sleeves and start getting things back to some kind of normality I need to let you know that it is showcase day over on the MilkCoffee Blog  and our theme this time is Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

So my card today features the ever glamorous Tiffany and she is dressed to party with a festive glass of champagne in her hand.  She is a new image from MilkCoffee and isn’t she gorgeous.

Can't really see the glitter here but it is on her dress and necklace too!

I coloured her,for only the second time in my life, with Distress Inks and added glitter ‘fireworks’ for a New Year party feel.

The flowers are Spellbinders Bity Blossoms and Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch and the vine leaves and cocktail glass are from Tonic.

Please pop over to the MilkCoffeechallenge blog to see all the amazing creations by my fellow team mates.  And to the shop to check out all the gorgeous images.

Hope you are having a very happy Christmas and that the New Year brings you all you could wish for! And a special payer goes out to all in the UK effected by the severe weather we are experiencing at the moment.  My heart goes out to you.

See ya!

Only Snowmen Allowed at the Cutie Pie Challenge!

Hello, it’s me again. Hopefully with Miss Mojo back from her hols now!

 

Today I would like to share my DT card for the Cutie Pie challenge this fortnight and our theme is Only Snowmen Allowed! So dig out those cute snowman images and play along.

This time we are sponsored by the wonderful Di’s Digi Downloads.

And one lucky winner will win some adorable digi stamps from their online store here.

So for my snowman creation I chose to use an image that came with a magazine CD. I coloured these guys with Promarkers and cut them and the base out using Spellbinders 5x7 Elegant Labels 4.

The sentiment is from Crafter’s Companion and I thought was rather appropriate for the image.

The wooden snowflake was a magazine freebie that, due to me being more than a little heavy handed getting it off the carrier sheet, broke! So after sticking it together I covered it with Stampendous Chunky White powder and Silver Halo Glitter.

Clear dewdrop gems and a dotty bow finish things off.

Check out the Cutie blog for stunning snowman creations from my team mates and have a jolly snowman time with us!

See ya!

MilkCoffee Showcase – Red and Green Must Not Be Seen

Hello there and how are you doing? 

I am here to let you know that it is showcase day over on the MilkCoffee Blog 

And our theme this time is Red and Green Must Not Be Seen (so no red and green on your creations please). This was good for me as I prefer purples and blues and silvers for my Christmas cards rather than the traditional colours.

So how did I interpret the theme? Well…….…you know when you have a design in your head and it all looks fab and you just know it’s going to be great, and then when you begin putting it together it all goes a bit Pete Tong?  Well I’m afraid this card is a case in point. If it was part of my school report it would definitely be marked as ‘Could do better!’

I chose to use the super sweet Lisbeth and Winter Matches available here and failed to do her justice.  She is such a cutie and of course reminds me of the achingly sad story of The Little Match Girl (sniffing noisily as we speak). I coloured her with Spectrum Noirs (quite badly as it happens, poor love, but I blame bad light and migraines. Well I’ve got to blame something!)

So the idea was pretty simple really. Christmas tree with baubles! Go Jane!

To create the background (my Christmas tree) I used a branch stamp by Chloe, stamping several times down the card then heat embossed with silver sparkle WOW powder (love, love, love this stuff).

I cut Lisbeth and my sentiment out using Spellbinders ornament dies and inked the edges to give them as little dimension.  I got some free stamps with a mag the other month that match the SB ornament dies so I used some of those as well.

So I stuck them on; I stood back and …… oh. Ok, don’t panic. What can I do to rescue it?

So my ‘rescue package’ consisted of silver bows, liquid pearls and glitter domes.  However, I think the ‘rescue’ failed to save the patient!

I blame the Bee Gee’s quite frankly. What? The Bee Gees? Yes the blumin’ Bee Gees.  They have been my almost constant mojo motivator since I started this blogging adventure! (“You should be daaaaaaciiiiin’ Yeah!”)  And I don’t seem to be able to craft without them. Grrrrr!  But I turned my back on them to listen to Christmas tunes! (So my fault really!) I’m sorry Slade and Wizard, you just don’t quite cut it!  Saturday Night Fever here I come.

Any road up please pop over to the MilkCoffee challenge blog to see all the amazing creations by my fellow team mates.  They have excelled themselves (as always) with the gorgeous MilkCoffee images while I am currently sitting in the naughty corner!

See ya!

Cutie Pie Challenge – For a Special Friend

Hello, hope you are well?

Today we have a brand new challenge over at the Cutie PieChallenge Blog  and our theme this fortnight is ‘For a Special Friend’. Awwwwww!

This week we are sponsored by the wonderful CraftyRibbons 

and one lucky winner will win a voucher to spend in their gorgeous online store.

So what did I do? Well I recently bought some shaped cards and thought I would use one of those.  I chose a shadow box type card as I really admired the one recently made by Sue Bearhouse that you can see here.  (Considerably superior to mine but I gave it a shot!)

The image is LOTV called Me and My Cat which is available here  and I coloured using my Promarkers and fussy cut her out so that she would sit outside the frame.

I embossed the card with an Embossalicious folder and coloured it with Pan Pastel. The vine dies are Marianne Creatables and the tree is a Spellbinders Die D-Lite.

I made the flowers using an X-Cut punch and accented the whole thing with pearls and a bow.

Pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see the amazing inspiration created by my teamies and get creating that card for your someone special.

See ya!

Ladybug Crafts Challenge – Christmas/Winter

Hello, how are you keeping?

Today I am here to show a card I made for the current monthly challenge starting today over on the Ladybug Crafts blog and the challenge is….. Wait for it……Christmas/Winter! Yay!

I was asked to join the Ladybug team a little while ago and of course I said yes.  No flies on me you know!

So here I am, doing my best to inspire you!

My card is quite CAS (I absolutely love this style but never seem to try it too often, why? no idea!) and I have used an adorable stamp from LOTV called Trimming the Tree available here I coloured the little people and their adorable doggie in greyscale and added colour to the tree and decorations only.  I really enjoy colouring in this way.  It’s a good way of teaching yourself about shadows and depth. I’m learning slowly (I would describe it as a snail’s pace) but loving every minute of it.

The sentiment is also LOTV and I drew a bauble underneath, why? no clue. I used just a few gold glitter domes and a touch of gold Stickles (this is CAS after all) to embellish and there you go, all done.

Pop on over to the Ladybug blog and join in the fun and see all the wonderful inspiration from the design team.

See ya!

MilkCoffee Showcase – Christmas is Coming

Hello there and how are you doing? 

I am here to let you know that it is showcase day over on the MilkCoffee Blog 

and our theme this time is Christmas is Coming, and you know what, it is! (Trying to contain ridiculously high pitched squeal of excitement!!)

So today I have chosen to use the gorgeous Lisbeth and Mr Deer available here a stunning image that begs to be coloured so I was happy to oblige with my Spectrum Noirs. 

I admit to being a bit nervous about attempting this; I mean that is a lot of deer!! But my teamie Samantha did such an amazing job with this image on a previous showcase (check it out on her blog  here) that I thought I would give it a go.

I created a wreath using Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and stuck Spellbinder poinsettias and glittered snowflakes all around it. There are some All Occasions dies and Tonic punched snowflakes in there too, somewhere!

The paper is Kanban (I think) and the sentiment is from LOTV. 

I added pearls (the liquid kind too), clear dew drops and a bow to finish things off.

Why not pop over to the MilkCoffeechallenge blog to see all the amazing creations by my fellow team mates.  They’ll knock your Crimbo socks off!!

See ya!

Create a Scene at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog

(And by ‘Create a Scene’ I don’t mean jumping up and down yelling and screaming and stamping your feet!  I’ll be the one doing that thank you very much!!)

Hello, how are you keeping? Hope all is well with you and yours and you are keeping warm.

Today launches a brand new challenge over at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog  and our theme this fortnight is Create a Scene (please read opening paragraph for clarification). 

All we want you to do is create a background that goes with a cute image in the foreground. So it could be a cloud background or grass and flowers or even a snowy scene.  As long as you put your image within a scene you’ll be sorted.  But don’t forget to include a cute character in your design. The Cutie Pies live to see cute on your creations and I am sorry to say that them’s the rules! Anyway if you are still a bit stuck pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see what my talented teamies have created to inspire you.

This week we are sponsored by the wonderful

and one lucky winner will win a $20 voucher to spend in their online store.

So to my scene.  Well I recently bought a set of stamps from Hobby Art called Country Scenes available here and thought I would play around with them to create a winter landscape.  So, several ‘dress rehearsals’ later I came up with this.

I stamped my scene onto Neenah Solar card and coloured it sparingly with BG Spectrum Noirs, using 2 CT markers for the sun and IB1 & HB1 for the sky.

I then used my so far un-inked Wild Rose Studio stamp Building a Snowman which I purchased here and coloured with LV and TB Spectrum Noirs (that super cute snowman is the reason I bought this stamp, luv him) and added Pinflair Snow Dust to the little girl’s furry hat and coat.

Isn't that snowman just the cutest ever!!

I used a pre-scored stepper card (me and measuring and not on speaking terms) and added some ripped pieces of Centura Pearl card to create a snowy ground for the characters to stand on.

The papers are LOTV, the tree is a cut down Spellbinders die and the snowflakes are an All Occasions die.

And there you are, a few gems and a liberal dose of Stickles later and my scene is done!

See ya!

In the Spotlight!

Hello. Hope this finds you well.

Today I would like to share a card I made in response to the current Passion for Promarkers challenge which is ‘In the Spotlight’.

Now I had heard of this technique but never tried it so I was keen to give it a go. 

So this is what I made.

The papers and sentiment are LOTV as is the gorgeous image which is called ‘Wedding Couple’.

I stamped the image twice and then from one of them I cut a small section (their super cute little faces) using a Sizzix Framelits die.  I then coloured it in with Promarkers, backed it with a small edge of pink paper and then mounted it onto the complete uncoloured image, which had been cut using a larger heart die. I also drew on some faux stitching for added interest.

The pearls and lace are from my stash and I took three long pearl topped pins, coloured one with a Watermelon Flexmarker then attached on a few more beads to 'posh' them up a bit.  I then tied a bow from white Silky Crush ribbon (my absolute favourite) and stuck them into the knot.

The pink roses and buds are created from a Britannia die and the white ones are a Sizzix Bigz die. 

And there you are.  Throughout the whole process (and even now) I couldn’t stop singing “Going to the chapel and we’re going to get maaaaaaaried!” (A song by the Dixie Cups).

Just be grateful this doesn't come with a soundtrack!

See ya!

MilkCoffee Showcase – Shaped Cards

Hello and how are you? 

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to those who have taken time out of their busy days to leave me comments.  I am so grateful for your kind words; they are a huge confidence booster I must say, so thank you so very much.

Ok, so what’s going on today then?  Well I am here to announce that it is showcase day over on the MilkCoffee Blog and our theme this time is Shaped Cards (oooh ‘eck!).

Now I don’t do shaped cards that often.  I have a lot of pre-scored square blanks and I only own a couple of the larger dies to make my own so I struggled with this a bit.  My only option was to get out my trusty EK Success Circle Scissor to make my base from Centura Pearl.  And that’s as far as I got really.  Until that is I got this little fella to work with.   He is called ‘Pilgrim Boy’ and he is available here and he is the sole inspiration for this project. So you know who to blame!

Now we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK (even though I personally have an awful lot to be thankful for) so I had to do a bit of research so I got it right.

And this is what happened.

Well to be honest with you I’m not too sure what happened!  This card kind of acquired a life of its own and I could do little to stop it. The whole harvest/Thanksgiving vibe just took over.

I coloured ‘Pilgrim Boy’ with Spectrum Noirs on Neenah Solar White card ( I love his hat and his buckled shoes) and cut him out.  I then found a free pumpkin digi on-line and printed it out twice on orange card and added some shading with pencils. 

I used a brayer on my circle base to create a sunset with Rusty Hinge and Dried Marigold DI, using a stencil to make the ‘sun’, then stamped a flock of birds to add to the scene.

The leaves are various Spellbinders dies and the acorns and twigs are made from a Martha Stewart mould and air-dry clay. I t was at this stage that I had to hide my glue to stop myself adding any more to it!   I ended up with more of a ‘sculpture’ than a card but there you go. 

Now watch me try and get it in an envelope! :{

See ya!

Little Cuties at the Cutie Pie Challenge

Hello, how are you keeping?

Today launches a brand new challenge over at the Cutie PieChallenge Blog  

And our theme this fortnight is Little Cuties, so that’s babies and very little people.  Now at this stage I would be asking you not to forget to make your entries cute, but I don’t see how they could fail to be cute with this subject matter!

Anyway, just in case Madam Mojo refuses to play along pop over to the Cutie Pies blog and check out the wonderful inspiration created by my teamies.

This week we are sponsored by Stitchy Bear and one lucky winner will win 3 of the wonderful Digi stamps from Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet to the value of $10

So what did I do?  Well I chose to use an image from our sponsor called ‘A Mother’s Love’ which can be found here. 

As soon as I saw it I knew I had to colour it and that it would be in greyscale.  I even knew the colour I wanted to go with it and how it would look!  It happens like that sometimes, doesn’t it?  The image and the card just design themselves really.

I coloured mother and child with Ice Grey Spectrum Noirs and cut then out using Spellbinders Floral Oval.  I also shaded around the image with Turquoise Tint Pan Pastel, which is not too obvious in the photo I’m afraid.

The small flowers are cut from a Tonic punch and the larger flower is from the SB Jewelled Flowers & Flourishes set.

I added pearls from my stash and cut a SB Ribbon Banner in half (shading that with Pan Pastel too) and stamped my sentiment, which I wanted to be simple and to the point.

And there you go, I hope I have done such a gorgeous image the justice it deserves.

See ya!

Starlet Tiffany!

Hello, hope all is well with you and yours.

Today I would like to share a card I made for a friend of mine who is a vintage film fanatic.  Her husband wanted me to make her a card that reflected her mild obsession with movies of the 30’s and 40’s.  So this is what I came up with.

 

The 'pin' is a silver piece of Card Candi; looks multicoloured here though(?)

The image is from MilkCoffee  and is called ‘Glamorous Tiffany in Her Night Gown’ .  I thought she had the look of a black and white movie starlet so I coloured her with my Promarkers in greyscale and made her into a photograph pinned to a wall, well a piece of embossed and sanded Core’dinations to be precise.  

The 'autograph' is my untidy scrawl.  

I printed the clapperboard and filmstrip free from the web, stamped a script onto a piece of vellum and I made the roses using a Sizzix Bigz die.  The idea is that the roses are fading and losing their petals.  Not too sure if that’s how it looks.

And there you go.  I hope she likes it.

See ya!

Smiling always (!)!

MilkCoffee Showcase – Winter/Christmas

Hello and how are you?  I hope that the UK storm did not affect you too much wherever you are.  We had one flower pot blow over in the garden and that was it!  How lucky were we?! My best wishes to those who didn’t fare so well.

So what am I up to today then, well I am here to announce that it is showcase day over on the MilkCoffee Blog.

And why am I telling you this you ask?  Well I have been asked to join the MilkCoffee design Team.

 

What?  No-way!

Well yes-way actually and I am as proud as punch!  I’m still in a state of disbelief to be honest.  When I read the announcement and saw the name ‘Jane ‘ I didn’t for a second think it was me!  I am beyond thrilled to be able to be part of this amazing team. MilkCoffee digi stamps are out of this world and a joy to colour.  Check out all the cute images here but be warned you will be spoilt for choice!

So what did I make?

Well I chose to use this uber sweet image called Charlotte and Candy Cane  (isn’t she just adorable!) and I coloured her with Spectrum Noirs.

The poinsettias are a Spellbinders die and the snowflakes are from All Occasions.  Charlotte was cut out using a Sizzix Framelit die and the swirls are from Tonic.  The gorgeous blue snowflake paper is by LOTV.

So there you have it.  My first MilkCoffee Showcase card! Yay!

(Hope it won’t be my last!! Tee Hee!)

Well have a good day.

See ya!

Embellishment Bingo at the Cutie Pies Challenge Blog!

Hello, how are you keeping? Hope you survived that storm. Crikey that was scary!

Anyway, today launches a brand new challenge over at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog  and our theme this fortnight is ‘Embellishment Bingo, and make it Cute!’

So here is the bingo board:

Our sponsor is the wonderful Crafty Ribbons and our winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in their amazing store here. 

I always enjoy embellie bingo but it is so hard to choose just three of all the wonderful things we find in our stash.  So I decided to go FULL HOUSE!  Gosh!

I decided to stick with all things Halloween and make a card for a friend of mine whose birthday just happens to be 31^st October.  Apparently, because of this, a rumour circulated when she was at school that she was a witch and could put a spell on anyone she didn’t like.  Needless to say she rather enjoyed the notoriety and only wore black for much of her teenage life.  She never owned a cat though as she’s allergic but she did have a black goldfish called Starsky (only the over 40’s will know who this is) but unlike a cat I don’t think he could sit on a broom.  So this one’s for her. 

I used a digi I won from Digi Stamp Boutique called Halloween Freya and coloured her with Promarkers. I cut her out using Spellbinders Labels 4 and mounted her into SB A2 Filigree Delight, which (no pun intended) in turn was mounted onto glitter card.

The papers are from my stash and the roses are from The Hobby House.  I cut a purple flower using Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur and put a Papermania mini button in the middle.

The only thing I did not have from the bingo board was a charm so I had to make my own (oh eck I hear you cry). So I drew a ghost onto some shrink plastic punched a hole in it and… well…shrank it.  He is so dinky!  I love him! Not scary at all!

BOO!

So there you are, a witchy card for a lady born on Halloween! But do pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see the amazing inspiration created by my teamies.  They are fab!

See ya!
