Free Hugs

 Hello!

Here I am with a new creation for you!

My sister in law asked me to make something to thanks her coworkers during coronavirus pandemic time. They have to change wokplaces for a while.

So I choose to make a tag using Free Hugs Arts Stamp Kit from 2019 Live Laugh Love Collection and still available in Craftheaven shop. 

Design papers used are from 12x12 Maja Design Denim & Girls collection.

The thag is made using Bazzill Classic 12x12x- Kraft.

I used Tilda Doily die ... for image bacground.

 

The bow on dthe top is made with Vintage Seam Binding.

I added few white roses  and White Gesso here and there oner the tag.

I sealed my image with Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze. 

This is the perfects water resistent sealer for all my craft projects.

Heve a nice day and happy crafting!

Hugs!!! Barbara GR

Believe

 

Good afternoon!  Today I have another Christmas card to show using the gorgeous new Maja Design papers and some cute dies.  I've used an old Magnolia stamp for the image - a gorgeous Santa.

As always I have used the no lines technique and painted Santa with Distress Inks.  I have added Stardust Stickles to his buckle, beard and some of the presents and bows.  I have also added Glitter Snow in drops to create the snow flurry.  How gorgeous is the 'believe' die cut from Tonic Studios?  I love it!  

The tags were cut with the Woodland Tags heart shape - I love these and have used them a lot already.  Here I have made the exterior 'bark' white and the centre kraft cardstock to resemble pieces taken from a silver birch tree.  The 25 was cut with numbers from the Thinlits Elle Lower Case die set.  I am creating a December Daily with my daughter and we are using the set a lot!

I have also added vintage white seam binding and tiny bells from Craft Heaven.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Ice-Skating Card

Good evening!  I have another shaker card to show you today - but this time it is a shaker card and a slider card!

As usual I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have also used a white gel pen for the dots on her cheeks and eyes and Stardust Stickles on her ice skates and hat tassle.

Inside the shaker I have used the cute winter scene from Doohickey Volume 7 and pretend snow from my stash.

Watch the video to see Tilda in action!

Behind Tilda I have used the Winter Tree Doohickey die and used some of the pieces to make little drifts of snow too.  I have added touches of Glitter Snow around the edges of the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lilly Halloween 2020 n°3

 Hello everyone,

A little Halloween card today with this super original Tilda with her head down!

It is part of the Halloween 2020 Pop Up Box beauuuuutiful collection!

I extended the branch with a "tree" die (where it came from? Mystery ... I don't remember) on which I applied the same colors and drew the same veins as on the stamp so to achieve an overall effect.

The barriers are hot embossed with black powder, the background paper comes from a very old collection and everything is colored with Copics as usual.

Beautiful horrrrrrrrible day !!

Exploding Box Card

Good morning!  I have an exploding box card to show you today using the gorgeous Maja Design Summertime papers.  I have used a Magnolia butterfly Doohickey die for the butterflies on each side of the box.

I have decorated the top with leaves cut with the Rose Leaf Doohickey, seam binding and flowers from Craft Heaven and a cute moped charm.

Inside Tilda is zipping through the streets of London on her moped!  I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks.  I have used the Magnolia Phone Box Doohickey die to create the iconic red telephone box.

I have stamped the taxi stamp from the Let's Go Collection onto one of the Summertime papers and behind the taxi the buildings were created with the Edwin's Town Magnolia stamp.  The signpost is a Scrapiniec piece and the bicycle was cut out of one of the Summertime papers.

I have used a Magnolia pennant flags Doohickey die to cut out the tiny flags and the clouds were cut with one of the dies from the Bella Notte Doohickey dies.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lilly Halloween 2020 n°1

 Hi everyone,

Nice to meet you here!

I'm starting my Halloween 2020 card series with this slightly gothic black and purple tag and this pretty Tilda/cat doll from the "Spooky Halloween Collection 2019" 

I added a little texture paste to reinforce the arabesques and I added a few tone-on-tone flowers to give it a little volume!

I hope that pleases you ;)

See you soon

Little (Santa's ?) ladybug

Good morning all,

Today, I wanted to get out of my comfort zone by scraping a very large tag (the largest in the crealies kit, the one that is 20.5 cm high) and using colors that I never use in outside of greeting cards ...

Suddenly, my little ladybug looks like a Santa Claus elf, which was not at all planned at the start!

See you soon

Brother Birthday Card

Good afternoon!  Today I have one of those tricky to make male birthday cards to show you.  I love Maja Design's Denim & Friends Collection for male cards.

I used one of the photo cut outs and mounted it onto the reverse side of the paper and used leaves from Lawerowe's Peony Leaves set.  Chipboard pieces are great for adding a bit of interest to male cards without using flowers.  Behind the image I have also added a strip of cream cardstock cut with the Grated Edge Doohickey die.

 I also love the decorative strips that Maja Design include on all of their papers.  I've used one here to add further interest and another chipboard piece.  The 'Brother' sentiment was cut with a die from my stash.

I made a little envelope to contain a money gift and used the Rich Rach Doohickey die to create a tear strip for it - love doing this!  I inked the edges of everything with Walnut Stain Distress ink.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lockdown Birthday Card

 

Good morning!  Today's creation is the card I made for my Mum's birthday recently, featuring the Tilda from the special Support the Artist stamps.  My mum was very amused that there is actually a stamp with a face mask on now.  I have used Maja Design's Denim & Girls paper collection - I love these papers!

As always I painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have used a white gel pen for the dots on her eyes and cheeks and also for the straps of her face mask.

I have used lots of Doohickey dies on this card.  The cake was cut with the middle cake from the three tier set and I cut the stand from the bottom of the cake stand to make it into a plate instead.  The banners were cut with a die from Doohickey volume 14.  I have also used the Sakura Background die behind the image.

The tree branch and lanterns were cut from the Sakura Lanterns Doohickeys and I have added some tiny pink roses from Craft Heaven.   As a finishing touch I have added white gesso here and there to the card.

 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Happy Father's Day

Good evening!  I have a pop up box card to show you today that I made for Father's Day.  I have used papers from Maja Design's Vintage Summer and Little Street Cafe Collections.

The stitched circles were cut with Crealies dies and the Dad sentiment is a die from my stash.  The edges of all the pieces were inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink using a blending tool.

I have used the banner from Magnolia Doohickey Volume 9 and the flags and flagpoles from the Flags Doohickey die.  The stars were cut with a Sizzix die.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!
