Hot Pink Eight Pocket Shaker

Hello.  Welcome.  I am guest designing over at the Doodles Paper Playground for December and January and today I am sharing an eight pocket shaker card using Flamingo Tropic Sparkle Blend and the new Winnie and Walter Peppermint Zone die. Love this die!

The Flamingo Tropic blend fitted perfectly with my pink and green scheme.  Can't beat a bit of warm pink and glitter on a miserable winter day.  I did think about adding an image and sentiment but decided it was too pretty to cover up!  Do pop over to the Doodles Paper Playground blog and check out how I put this beauty together.  Very pleased with the idea of having many small pockets to keep those sparkles in play.

Glitter My Heart

Hello.  Welcome.  The day started cold and bright and has ended cool and yucky.  It was so nice to see the sun earlier.  The days are already lengthening, about two minutes a day at the moment.  Seems blogland has moved from xmas to hearts so here's a little monochrome hearty offering.  

I used Paperbabes Mary Dee Kimono stamp and all inspired by their mood board I kept it red and white.  And CAS.  Cos I'm a CAS sort of girl.  Anyway........  I stamped the oriental lady with black archival and coloured the flower clusters and her lips with a fine red sharpie.  Then I masked her.  I cut a mask using a heart die and used 'new to me' That's Crafty Random Ovals stencil over the top and Rocket Red Brilliance ink.  I removed the Random Ovals stencil and using a small sponge I outlined the heart with the same ink.  Then I used irridesent glitter glue all over the heart and cut Gummiapan's Love from red card.  Done!!

Winter Princess

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy New Year everyone.   I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration with good food, good company and time to rest, relax and refresh.  So here we are, a new year, new chances and new optimism.   May 2019 be an awesome year for us all.  That said, I am creeping into the final hours of the Marianne Design challenge using a fun new to me Snoesjes stamp. 

The Marianne Design challenge is a colour board and I'm quite pleased with the final look of this card which I made to give to a friend with a little gift.  I started with a blue piece of MD patterned paper and one of my favourite MD embossing folders that also cuts those little details.  I mounted the embossed panel on a pale blue base card and smeared Stormy Sky distress ink to highlight the texture.  I cut the MD Pine Bough from green card and added them.  I stamped the girl and used Promarkers to colour her.  Then I fussy cut, added some glitter to her hair and a little blue heart that was given to me by a friend.

Cats, Doing What Cats Do

Hello.  Welcome.  Inspired by the lovely moodboard over at VLVS I stamped up this pretty cat image and split it between two ATC's.  

I cut two red ATC's using a Sizzix die and stamped and embossed the VLVS Blowing Dandelion image to cover them.  I stamped the VLVS Cats with Sewing Basket on pale blue card, added some shading with blue distress inks and fussy cut.  Then I split the cat image and added one part to each ATC.

Sweet Ginger

Hello.  Welcome.  Needed to play with the little ginger again. 

He's so cute!!   I used Papirdesign Pepperkake die, cut from brown paper and edged with Tea Dye distress ink.  I used white card cut with dies from the same die set and white half-pearls, also by Papirdesign, two which I coloured with black Promarker for his eyes.  The tag I cut from patterned paper using Stamplorations medium Luggage Tag die. 

I used Papirdesign's foam pads to mount the ginger on the tag and then I decided to make a second tag.  I used the small luggage die with the same red patterned card and then cut Papirdesign's God Jul (Merry Christmas) from dark brown paper.  

I added both tags to a bag of caramalised almonds I made, using a piece of gold and red twine with a couple of square wood beads on the end to attach them.   Love that ginger!!!
