New Release - A Little card full of love - circular card - Fluffy Friends collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Monday everyone... I hope that you had a great weekend and are enjoying the weather...its extremely hot here  and I'm finding it quite difficult to keep cool ...hey ho but this week its my birthday and I'm very excited as we are off to Granada on Wednesday...fingers crossed I have a bit more energy for Wednesday as its going to be a long day LOL

I'm sure that you've seen the brand new digital release by Polkadoodles - called Fluffy Friends and you love it as much as I do - I especially love the kitties.

There are loads of adorable images for you to colour or pre-coloured if you prefer.

I decided for today I would share another card using one of the very cute digital stamps. This is Peaches Cat and Nibbles Mouse again coloured as our special boy 

Foxy.  

He is such a sweet little boy and definitely doesn't like other big male cats that appear at the house - he's a very timid boy...not sure he would have a little mouse friend though LOL

It's a circular card that I have created with layers of teal card and papers from the collection and a sweet little sentiment.

The finishing touches for the card were sparkly sequins and white gelly roll pen highlights.

I hope that you like my projects today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

I thought as the weather is so hot I would share a DL card that Ive made, using one of the very cute digital stamps. This is Peaches Cat but I've turned him into our kitty Foxy.  He loves lying in the sun so I've created him a beach scene with distress inks.  I love his very cool sunglasses and delicious looking drink - probably a very fishy cocktail.

The finishing touches for the card were clear sparkle pen and glossy accents for the sunglasses.

I hope that you like my projects today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

New Release - Friends are Everything - Friendship card - Fluffy Friends collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Friday everyone... The Summer temperatures are ramping up fast and we have our first heatwave across most of Spain this weekend,  with temperatures of 40C where we live...so lots of time indoors I think, crafting, keeping cool and some chilling off in the pool!

There's a brand new digital release by Polkadoodles and I think you are going to love it !  It's called Fluffy Friends and there are loads of adorable images for you to colour or pre-coloured if you prefer.

Here's my first card from the new collection using the very sweet Monty Bear. When I was little I remember having a blue teddy bear and Monty reminded me of him so I've used my promarkers to create my blue bear and decided that yellow roses would be the perfect compliment.

My simple 5" x 7" or A7 card has a layer of pretty teal paper from the collection and one of the sentiments that I have added onto teal in Canva before cutting out.

I fussy cut Monty by hand and added him to my card using foam tape for dimension with a teal die cut frame and an inky background created with Pixie powders for sparkle.

The finishing touches for the card of sparkly gems and some extra die cut hearts and a little glossy accents for Monty's nose.

I hope that you like my projects today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋

New Release - Cute Creatures - Bundle Offer - Batty About you - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone happy Sunday - I hope the weekend is going ok for you.  

We were out last night at our favourite bar - normally date night is Friday but we swapped this week and it was nice for a change.

I'm in the middle of preparing for the arrival of my new computer - I'm really excited as the one I have at the moment is really struggling and on its last legs but feeling a little apprehensive too trying to get everything running on the new one. Ill keep you posted hopefully, assuming I can get onto my blog that is LOL

Today I'm sharing another a sweet little A6 card using one of the cute little critters from the brand new  Cute Creatures collection by Lili of the Valley (LOTV). available now from the Etsy shop.

 

It's a fantastic collection of 2 sets of images, that you can buy separately or as a complete collection - I know which I would choose as its a fantastic price for what's included.  Each set contains 93 cute little creatures or you can get all 186 creatures.

My sweet little bat card has been made using set 1 resizing him and then printing onto alcohol friendly card and colouring with with my promarkers before cutting out with my ScanNCut.

Who ever said that bats are just for Halloween.

Next I created my background, I printed out a piece of paper from the Cosmic paper set and used a circular die to cut an aperture in the paper and then used a moon stencil to create the moon with distress ink.

The little branch that the bat is sat on was die cut from black card and I added a white gel pen highlight to the top of the branch.

Finishing touches were some sparkly gems and white gel pen highlights around the design.

I hope that you like my cards today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)


Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

New Release - Cute Creatures - Bundle Offer - Don't Let the little things bug you - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone happy Saturday - wishing you all a great weekend.  

We've had such a busy week with various appointments, trips to Granada and things to do around the house and garden so I'm feeling completely out of sink, not entirely sure what day it is really....LOL

It was so windy yesterday too, I got blown home from my yoga class and ended up with loads of dust and grit in my eyes, hoping for a less blustery day today.

I'm back today to share a sweet little A6 card using one of the cute little critters from the brand new  Cute Creatures collection by Lili of the Valley (LOTV). available now from the Etsy shop.

 

It's a fantastic collection of 2 sets of images, that you can buy separately or as a complete collection - I know which I would choose as its a fantastic price for what's included.  Each set contains 93 cute little creatures or you can get all 186 creatures.

My sweet little caterpillar card has been made using set 1 and I have to say they are so easy to colour and make really cute cards - I'm sure you'll love them and the hardest part is what to create with first.

I resized the caterpillar and then printed him out onto alcohol friendly card and colouring with with my promarkers before cutting out with my ScanNCut.

Next I created my background, I wanted the little caterpillar to be nestled in amongst the leaves but with a bite taken out so I used a stencil to create the leafy pattern and then die cut a shape out of the side of the panel.

Finishing touches were some little sparkly gems and white gel pen highlights around the design.

I hope that you like my cards today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)


Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

New Release - Peeping Animals - Peeping Cat & Peeping Dog - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Friday - I hope that you have had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead.  Another busy week here and lunch out with friends yesterday to a lovely Sushi restaurant on the coast - ate far too much but that seems to be the norm LOL.

We are at the hospital tomorrow to see a consultant about JJs cough which he's had since November and then were taking some friends to Granada on Saturday for lunch at a wonderful vegetarian restaurant we like.  

The weather has been very mixed again with cloudy days and spots of rain but I'm not going to complain as it will be too hot soon.

I'm back today with two cuties using the new Peeping Animals collection by Lili of the Valley (LOTV). available now from the Etsy shop. There are 6 peeping animals to choose from and they are so easy to colour you'll love them.

Whichever animal you choose I'm sure you will find them very easy to colour and personalise as you like.  

Each animal stamp includes some coordinating sentiments 

Both cards today  are very simple, combining patterned papers from my stash on each.

For the Peeping Cat I have cut around the kitties paw and then adhered the entire panel with foam tape onto the card with a layer of pretty floral paper.  The Kitty has been coloured in grey with a blue wash as it will be a friends birthday card and they have two absolutely gorgeous Russian Blue cats.

For the Peeping Dog I cut the right side off the panel and added the patterned paper to the inside of the card.

Both are really quick to create and I'm sure both will be loved by their recipients.

Finishing touches were some little clay hearts for the cat and stamped hearts for the dog, white gel pen highlights and glossy accents to the dog's nose and cats eyes.

I hope that you like my cards today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

New Release - Mice Party - Mouse with Balloon - Sweet Wishes - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Tuesday I hope that you are having a great week. Its the end of March already and the garden it starting to look wonderful, brightly coloured flowers everywhere and the orange trees are in blossom so the smell is amazing.  We even have a fabulous display of white and blue wisteria this year - must have been all the rain earlier in the year.

It's a beautiful sunny day here today and the temperature is slowly going up - still chilly in the evenings but I'm not complaining.

I'm back today with another cute card using one of the brand new Party Mice from the recent March release by Lili of the Valley (LOTV). available now from the Etsy shop. There are 12 brand new little mice, all ready to celebrate.

My fun birthday DL  card today features the Mouse with Balloon, its looks like it might lift him away up into the clouds if he's not careful.

I created 2 simple paper masks and then stencilled the clouds into the background using distress ink.

I added a sweet LOTV sentiment from the Sweet Wishes collection to the panel below the mouse before printing out

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers for these sweet little images  with finishing touches added of white gel pen highlights, blue sparkle to the balloon string, sparkle pen to the balloon, glossy accents to the stars  and clear sparkly sequins around the design. 

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

New Release - Cute Girls - Hello - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Sunday - we had awful winds here again yesterday so hunkered down in the house but today the sun is shining so were out in the garden getting on with more tidying up.  We only have a few more weeks to get all the tree prunings burned so lots to do. 

Just a quick post from me today to share a sweet little card using the second New Release by Lili of the Valley (LOTV) , This sweetheart is one of the new Cute Girls, just launched and available now from the Etsy shop - there are 3 sets of  Cute Girls, each comes in a number of different variations, with and without flowers, so perfect for all sorts of occasions.

I chose to make a sweet Hello card using Cute Girl 3

I chose a pretty floral paper from my stash and adhered this directly to a card blank.  

The little girl was resized and I added a simple block sentiment before printing out and colouring with promarkers.  for a different look I used one of my larger fancy edge dies t cut out the image before adhering this off to the left side of the card with foam tape.

I hand fussy cut some of the little flowers from the background paper and adhered these around the design.

Finishing touches were white gel pen highlights and glossy accents to the flowers.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Digi Choosday - You're My Favourite Person - Valentines Card - Udderly Cute Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week - February is already here and its definitely time to think about sending Love and Valentines Day.

Do you send Valentines cards ?  We don't send them to each other really anymore but we always try to have a special day to celebrate and mark the occasion.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is  Valentines and to use Red Pink Black and white so I thought the brand new Udderly Cute Collection would be prefect for this.

The card fold is a simple Pop Out Gatefold as I wanted to really show off the cute cow pattern papers and also use some of the fabulous ephemera  from the collection.

The folded card fits into a 5" x 7" or A7 envelope.  Using a deep cherry red card I cut a piece measuring 10" x 7" and then along the long edge of the card, scored at 2 1/2" & 7 1/2" on one side and then one the other side at 4 1/12" & 5 1/2".  This will give the perfect valley and mountain folds for the card.

The card was layered with cow papers on the inside and then a pretty polka dot  paper on the outside so the recipient gets a surprise when they open it.

I'm really proud of myself as over Christmas I challenged myself to start using my Scan n Cut machine more this year rather than fussy cutting  by hand and the ephemera sheets were so easy to cut on the machine - as well as being addicted to cows - I'm now in love with my Scan n Cut again ! So with my new found love I've used lots of the ephemera to adorn the card.

The image is Just For Moo, coloured with promarkers and layered onto die cut hearts.

To finish the card I added lovely sparkle inside and out and a touch of glossy accents to the little heart on the envelope.  

I wish you could see the sparkle as its so pretty but photos don't do it justice.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

New Release - Udderly Cute & Totally Loved - Valentine's & Love cards - Udderly Cute collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Sunday everyone... I'm late again updating my blog but we've been busy in the garden today whilst the sun was out, pruning and burning the waste to try and keep on top of everything.

I wanted to share another of my cards using the newly released adorable cows....I think this would make a great birthday card for someone special, or just to send love.

This is my second card using the new release but as always there's loads more inspiration for you in the gallery on the Polkadoodles website

My 5" x 7" or A7 card filled with love today uses Heartfelt Wishes coloured with my Promarkers.  I created a stacked frame using one of the pretty papers from the collection, die cutting this and adhering to several frames cut from card stock ( I use cereal boxes for the base layers as it's free, great for recycling and you cant see the card once its complete. 

The little hearts were cut (on my Scan n Cut!) from one of the lovely ephemera sheets and I think they make the perfect addition to the card.

The finishing touches for the card was lots of extra sparkle to the coloured hearts, gems to the centre of the little flowers and some clear sparkly gems around the design.
