Youpie !

Hello everybody,

After all these delicate weeks that we have lived, I must admit that I welcome June with much relief and full of hope for a healthier future ...

It is therefore quite natural that I offer you this little doll that explodes with joy and open its arms out towards a free and happy future that I wish you all!

Have a great day

Best Tea-Cher Ever!

Good evening!  I hope my post finds you all safe and well in these worrying times.  It has been very hot and sunny the past few days here so I decided to spend some time painting an image in the garden instead of my craft room.  I have made a teacher thank you card with the resulting image, the gorgeous Best Tea-cher Ever stamp set from the Live, Laugh, Love Collection.

I have used all of the stamps in the set except the hearts and kisses stamp and layered the sentiment over parts of the image for a quirky look.  As always I have painted the images with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.

I have used the cup, saucer and teapot dies from Doohickey Volume 14, Afternoon Tea.  The papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics Collection.

The gorgeous chipboard piece is by Laserowe.  I have added some Gesso to it here and there as well as around the edges of the card.

The lace and roses are from Craft Heaven.I made some cute tea bags using the dies from Volume 14 too.  I thought it would be fun to make them out of cheesecloth.  The 'tea leaves' are brown Flower Soft.  I love how they turned out!

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Pink or blue ?

Hello to everyone,

For a good ten years that I collect "Magnolia" stamps, I had the opportunity to get them in many different shops, French or not ... So today, I would like to talk to you a lovely encounter: the sweet Tina from the Craft Heaven Shop.

I bought my products from her long before being part of her DT and I have always been pleasantly surprised by her seriousness and her kindness: e-mail at each stage of the order, products nicely wrapped in tissue paper , little word always so pleasant to read ...

For all her sincere attentions and the love she puts in her packages, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU, that's it ...

Make way for cards: two very simple binoculars to highlight two stamps that I love, THE die Crealies that I love too (what do you mean, do you get drunk with this die?) And the pleasure of adding a few flowers: look this beautiful peach color, a treat !!

See you soon

Lilly

Rose Princess Tilda

Good afternoon!  I hope my post finds you safe and well, wherever you are around the world.  Today's card features the gorgeous Rose Princess Tilda and paper from Pion Design's Cherry Blossom Lane collection.  This paper is so pretty!  I have used both sides on my card.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added dots to her cheeks and dress with a white gel pen.

There is a wonderful selection of chipboard pieces in the Craft Heaven shop, there are the Baby Lily set.  These come with a backing cut out so that you can layer them up but I have used them on their own as I wanted a more delicate look.  The tiny blossoms are from the store too.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

85 years !!

Hello to everyone,

When I discovered this little stamp "Edwin" (supposed to be a student), I told myself that it still looked very much like a Postman.

And, since my husband's father was a Postman ... and, that he celebrated his 85th birthday at the end of April, I said to myself (yes, I know, I say a lot to myself) that I could give him a little postcard on the theme of La Poste.

A little "85" added to the felt in the sign and zou, voila!

A quick glance at the details: blue, mustard yellow, a stamp-shaped die, newspaper and string ... everything is there !!

Take care of yourself

Lilly
