Hello lovelies - hope you are all OK. So today I'm sharing a card I made for the launch of a brand new Tonic Studios kit - we are up to kit #42 now. If you haven't seen these, they are a boxed kit which you can either buy with a monthly subscription or you can buy as a one off. And each month you get dies, stamps, cardstock and some Nuvo goodies. They go like hotcakes and are very popular. So this month it's a Spring theme with a pretty pink, gold, lemon and yellow colours And this is one of…

LOTV - The Perfect Tree by Ann Lomax

ok then, I have internet .. .. but not sure how long it's going to last so I'll be quick sharing this simple little card with you. It was made for the CCT blog one layer challenge back in October and I used one of the cute LOTV stamps that I got at the Bodmin craft fair. I've not been crafting much recently, what with more decorating, family ups and downs and now a new member of the family taking up so much of my time - but more about him later! I've coloured the image with my Copic pens…

Good morning all, time for Theme Thursday and I thought we’d have some Christmas cards today I haven’t even started on mine yet, I made myself a New year’s resolution that I wouldn’t buy any cards and so far this year I haven’t Wether that will extend to my Christmas cards remains to be seen as time is quickly running out… but I am going to try!!

It’s not too bad here at the moment …there is just enough to be an inconvenience I remember when I was young thinking my Mum was a real misery because she didn’t like the snow but I’m saying just the same now and my kids think I’m a misery lol …I’m getting old!! *** This gorgeous card was made by our clever Moni and I thought it was perfect to share with you on this snowy morning, I’m sure this is what all the children will be…

Good Morning... Today's card is the first of my August Design Collective cards for lovely Lili of the Valley I used one of the beautiful new Christmas stamps from the latest LOTV launch - Heavenly Christmas To colour the image, I had another fiddle with Distress Inks - I'm still not sure about them, (I love the artwork some of you lovely talented ladies create - but I need more practice I think before I am completely happy with the result). I die cut papers from Lili of the Valley's Woodland…

This week’s Lili of the Valley challenge is a sketch provided by me. AND there is more than 2 layers, woooo get me lol. I have used one of last year’s Christmas stamps from Lili of the Valley, I just love these angels, this one is called Angels Flying. I have used non-Christmassy papers for this card, they are My Minds Eye Out and About. LOVE this pad, the colours are so yummy and the papers are glittered and very blingy. I have used the Tilda Lace Doo Hickey die for the top layer. The…

Good Morning Everyone, I have a quick card to share today using one of the gorgeous returning friends from Lili of the Valley. This is..... Christmas Angels - Flying She is available in both rubber and digital format. I've used the rubber stamp for this card. I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her angel wings. The background papers are from DoCrafts - First Noel. I've used a poinsettia die from Sue Wilson and Lili of the Valley sentiment tags. I'd like to enter…

Hello lovely people, I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend whatever you have been getting up to. I did a few bits around the house, a little crafting including a last minute card for my Dad's birthday, which I forgot was on Monday - oops! Last night I popped over to a friend's house for a girly evening and to design the table plan display for her wedding in 2 weeks time - we are both very excited! After all that excitement, I am here to showcase some LOTV products as part of the Design…

Eeeek! It's my first Christmas card of the year! Yes, I know it's early but they'll never get done otherwise so I just thought I'd make a start. Thought I'd go for a fairly CAS card using LOTV's sweet little Nativity Angels... I coloured these gorgeous little angels with copics and added Wink Of Stella to their wings and Stickles to their halos and the stars. The frame is by MFT and the stitched panel is by Mama Elephant. Here's your close up. I used blue/greens, violets and yellows for the…

Hello Everyone, Have you seen the gorgeous new rubber stamps and papers pads available from Lili of the Valley? There are 3 new stamps sets including cute carol singing animals, sentiments and cute scenic baubles. There are also 6 fabulous new paper pads, and I need them all! For today's card I have used the brand new 'Carol Singing' set. I couldn't decide which cute animal to use so....they all ended up on there! I've coloured them with promarkers, and used papers from the new Frozen…

Today's card is a prime example of why I don't do wet embossing. It simply goes everywhere except where you actually want it. I did wonder if I should have added some more, but quite frankly, I decided that I should quit before I totally ruined my image. The image is a new one for me and I spent ages fiddling with the shading on those little squirrels. Despite that, I was quite pleased with the end result, so kept the layout of the card quite clean and simple to highlight the image. And then…

Wouldn't you love it if this little fellow turned up singing carols on your doorstep? I know I would. He could bring his cute little friends too. This is another image form the Carol Singer Stamp Set released for Christmas. They really are the sweetest little images. Todays card features the rabbit from the set. I coloured her in pencil and then fussy cut the image so I could place it into a little scene. I used some of the new LOTV paper sets to create the snowy background. The grey dot was…

LOTV - Carol Singing with Winter Woods papers by Lisa

This is the card I made for hubby using my new LOTV carolsinger stamps. I do like digis but there is something so nice about new rubber stamps. I am not sure if I have ever masked images before, if so it must have been a long time ago. I knew I wanted to mask these so I could have three of them together and I am really pleased with how it turned out. Good job he appreciates cute characters. The papers are LOTV vintage Christmas and I coloured the images with Copics. I mixed some glitter with…

Hello lovely peeps Our new Facebook Group 'We Love Lili of the Valley' is going really well. Nearly 500 members as I write, 145 projects shared so far, and a lovely encouraging atmosphere. I do hope you will join us if you haven't already. For today's card I've used the same Noel stamp as in my last post (from the Large Christmas Greetings set by Lili of the Valley), but gone for a completely different look. The adorable bunny stamp is from the new Carol Singing set and I coloured him with…

You've probably seen that today is the final day Lili of the Valley are selling digis because they're reverting back to rubber stamps and physical paper pads. I've been playing with one of the new sets. This one's aptly named 'Carol Singing' and I've combined 3 of the images in the set to create a little festive scene. The Winter Pastel papers are from the new release and the sentiment is from another of the new stamp sets called Bauble Bears. Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with…

Things have been changing at LOTV. I know I posted a little while back about digital stamps no longer being available. Its all to do with complex EU VAT rules.

AND ... paper sets are too. if you want a bit more information and would like to take a look at the rubber stamp sets available click HERE. Today I am sharing a card using a set from the new Christmas range called Carol Singer I have used two of the five…

My little crafting corner

pretty Christmas card

Here's another quick CAS baby card using the newest release from LOTV, 'Bath Time'. Instead of stamping and coloring directly onto the base layer of cardstock, (which makes me nervous) I chose to use a separate piece of cardstock to color on. Then I simply matted it with a piece of pretty pattern paper and adhered the whole thing to the card base. This way if I mess up on the stamping, or coloring, I don't have to waste an entire 5" x 7" card base. The stamped sentiment is from Papertrey…
