Beccy's Place - Country Floral Digital image set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors 

How has your weekend been? On Saturday we had a trip to our local garden centre. We had a coffee there and we picked up some supplies. As the weather was nice we spent the afternoon cleaning and oiling a garden table we had been given.  On Sunday we had a trip to see our daughter and son-in-law we took them some supplies for packing. We are all hoping they are going to move soon. 

I am one of the Blog Contributors for Beccy's Place. Which means that I get some truly gorgeous images to work with. The one I am show casing now is the Encore Set Country Floral. The images are just so pretty. I am featured on Beccy's Blog today click HERE to see my makes there. 

The papers were in my stash. 

This is the Country Floral Digital Stamp set and it is available HERE. There are pre-coloured images and line art in the set. 

I used the oval with the flowers. I coloured the flowers with my Prismacolor pencils. Once the image was coloured I fussy cut it. 

This sentiment added nicely inside the oval. 

I coloured the ladybird and then I cut is out. I added the antennae with a Micron pen my cutting out isn't that good.  

I made a cute little tag too. The ladybirds look good in different colours. 

I really did enjoy using this set. I think I will turn to this set often.

Isobel Craft Collection - Ladybirds

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I hope you have something nice planned the weather is looking good. We had an unexpected trip to see the in-laws yesterday. My Mother-in-law is 90 next week and there is a planned meal at weekend and another in September. But our daughter and her fiance wanted to  visit yesterday so we tagged along this meant we could all go out for a meal. I have just completed the trees for the wedding so I am feeling a bit more on top of things. Here is a link to the page. 

A couple of days ago I shared a card I made with the new Gnomes stamps from the Isobel Craft Collection. Well I just had to share another card I made with the new Ladybird stamps.

I love using the resist technique to create a background. I stamped and heat embossed the ladybird stamp in two colours. Then I used Distress Ink to colour the rest of the page. 

There is a link on the Facebook page to where you can buy the stamps. 

I used the Heart of Hearts die set to cut our the stamped image. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Happy Crafting

Isobel Craft Collection - New stamps - Ladybirds

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The long weekend, for some of us,  is here. I am on half term break. It is funny to think this will be my last one after so many years. We are going to Liverpool next week for the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the release of the Sergeant Pepper's album. This weekend will be quiet for us which  will give us a chance to  catch up on Wedding Prep. There isn't long to go now.

The Isobel Craft Collection released two sets of stamps and I thought I would share a card I made with the second set - the Ladybirds.

I made the background with Distress ink. All the mats and layers were made with Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Square dies. 

Here are the stamps aren't they cute. 

If you click on the image you should get taken to the Facebook page. There is a link to the shop on that page and the stamps can be pre-ordered there. 

I made a border with the stamps they were stamped in black archival onto water colour card and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. 

I heat embossed the sentiment. 

The ribbon was in my stash. 

Have a great weekend. I hope you have something nice planned. 

Happy Crafting

A Twisted Easel Card - for the Isobel Craft Collection

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How was your weekend? We visited our parents on Saturday and on Sunday we both worked on the wedding invitations. I was colouring images followed by a bit of die cutting. My husband was using the computer to work on the inserts. We are making progress but nothing is finished yet. I am hoping to get some things done this week.

I decided to get my stamps out from The Isobel Craft Collection to have a bit of a play. I ended up making a twisted easel card.

I used two 6" x 6" kraft card blanks to make this card. It would take 3 card blanks to make two of these cards. 

This is the stamp set I used  it is the Garden set and there are still some available in the store. 

This is the topper for the easel card it would make a lovely card in its own right. I used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to colour the images and Distress ink to colour the paper.  

I used the Happy Birthday stamp from one of my other stamp sets from the Collection. 

I do love the ladybirds in this set. Sophy hosts online craft sales once a month she has products from lots of different companies at very good prices. The next sale is on the 5th February, it is all done through the Facebook page and you pay by Paypal. There are often competitions to win discounts. It is worth a look. 

 Enjoy the rest of the week.

Isobel Craft Collection - New Release of stamps - Garden Delights

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going. I have been rather busy making cards and looking after our daughter's rabbits who are staying with us for a few weeks this summer. This means that our daughter and her fiance can have a bit of time away together.

I was very lucky to be selected for the Design Team for the Isobel Craft Collection. A new collection of stamps has been released and there are five sets altogether. I was sent the gorgeous Garden Delights set to work with.

I love these cute bugs. I stamped them with black archival onto watercolour card and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens I do love those pens. 

This is such cute border. Again it was stamped in black archival and coloured with my Sparkle pens. 

The stamps are available from the Etsy shop Sophy8.

This is the stamp set there are some lovely elements. I do have lots of other ideas for cards I could make with this set.

Enjoy the rest of the week and I hope the weather is kind to us all. 

Happy Crafting

Playing with Ladybirds

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends 

I hope you are having a good week so far. My husband has been home this week so we have got lots of things sorted out in the house and garden. We have also managed to visit some people we haven't seen for a long time. 

Last week I was in the supermarket looking at the craft magazines and I spotted Papercraft Essentials magazine and the free die that came with it. When I saw how versatile it was I couldn't resit. I didn't get to play with the die until Sunday morning. 

I decided to use the die to create ladybirds. I also made this fun 6" x 6" card completely from snippets.  

The die from the magazine cut the body, spots and eyes of the ladybird. I used the center of another die to make the wings and added goggly eyes. I made the antennae from the center of a flower die. 

This is a closer view of the center of the card. A Spellbinder die cut the heart circle I used the cut out hearts for the corner of the card. The flowers behind the ladybirds were left over from other projects. 

I hope the rest of the week is good for you. 

I would like to enter this for Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 190. That's two cards in a week for me I do have a lot of snippets. 

Happy Crafting
