New Release - Christmas - Photo Strip - Reindeer with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Saturday ....I hope you are having a good weekend.

Today I'm sharing another cute DL Christmas card  made for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using another of the new Photo booth digital stamp sets.

These cards feature a very funny Reindeer, its the  Reindeer Photo Strip set available in the Etsy shop.

I really love all of these Christmas stamps as they are such versatile stamps and can be used all together as one image or you can split them to create 4 separate cards....its really hard to choose a favourite!

Just look at this naughty reindeer pretending to be Rudolph!  I hope he doesn't find out....

I resized the images to fit my landscape DL card and then coloured with my promarkers before fussy cutting each little image out.

For my landscape card I die cut a frame of aqua glitter card and the cut a panel of aqua paper from the Snow Princess collection for the background.  The little images were then adhered into the frame, some flat to the panel and some on foam tape for dimension.

I die cut the Christmas word from the glitter card and then adhered this to the bottom of the card.

Finishing touches were some glittery sparkle on the reindeers hat, white gel pen highlights, glossy accents for the nose and I added some iridescent sparkle after all you can never have too much at Christmas.

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 - Christmas - Photo Strip - Robin with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Tuesday....I hope you are having a good week so far... we've got family staying so having a few days being tourists, trying to keep cool and eating too much as usual ! I'm missing my crafty time so managed to sneak some quiet chilling time to myself today to create a little and catch up with the blog.

Today I'm sharing a cute DL Christmas card  made for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using another of the new Photo booth digital stamp sets.

These cards feature a very funny Robin, its the  Robin Photo Strip set available in the Etsy shop.

I really love all of these Christmas stamps as they are such versatile stamps and can be used all together as one image or you can split them to create 4 separate cards.

I remember seeing a die last year or so that created a strip of film roll so I wanted to create this as I think the Robin looks like he's trying to make a film of him flying in with his Christmas banners.

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers and then I used a small square die to create the notches in each side of the card panel.  Once I had cut all these out I used my black promarker to create the fil strip effect.

Finishing touches were some glittery sparkle on the robins hat and I used a white Posca pen to create the snow in the scene.

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 - Christmas in July - Photo Strip - Penguin with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Friday....I hope you have all had a great week....we finally both seem to be over our nasty cough and colds - its been about 8 weeks and I thought it was never going away...fingers crossed.

We've ordered our acequia water today so I'm off to help out with the watering - hopefully the plants will love it!

I'm here today with another Christmas card for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using one of the new Photo booth digital stamp sets.

This card feature the Penguin Photo Strip set set available in the Etsy shop.

These are such versatile stamps and can be used all together as one image or you can split them as I have done to create my card today......did I mention that I think are adorable and there's a sale on in the shop at the moment until 31st July so don't miss out!

This is the front of the card which is an A7 Landscape card, I've used one of the gorgeous papers from the Essential Papers Frosty Christmas set, layered onto silver glitter card.  The sentiment was stamped and cut out and I used a very old snowflake punch to add a little detail around the word. 

A beautiful card in itself but then when you open up the card you get a wonderful surprise!

Its the silly penguin trying to get photos of himself in the photo booth - oh my goodness what is he doing.. LOL

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers and matting with coloured card.  I added each little panel to the pop out W strip a little wonky and I think it works really well.

The paper on the inside of my card is from an old paper pad but I thought the design was perfect for this penguins antics.

Finishing touches were some glittery sparkle on the penguins hat and little punched snowflakes.

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 !

Happy Christmas from All of Us- Snowmen - Happy Christmas with Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Thursday.... Oh my goodness our Christmas decorations still aren't up - that's a first in I don't know how many years... there's been so much going on and I've not really felt up to it but hopefully over the weekend.

I'm back today with a card project for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using one of the gorgeous sets of digital stamps, this is a cute set of Snowmen from the Etsy shop. and I decided to create a landscape DL card.

The set includes 8 different snowmen and I loved the way they were peeking over a snowy bank.  I combined two images to  create this card, reversing one of the images before printing out and colouring with Promarkers.

The sentiment that I have used is from the Snow Cute set  and I used a piece snowflake of paper from the Frosty Christmas backing paper set.  The frame was die cut from white glitter card and I blended a little blue distress ink over the patterned paper.

Finishing touches were some glitter to the snowmen's hats.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Wednesdays - December birthday - Snowy Days Theo Hello with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....not long until Christmas day now so I hope that you have been good this year. 

It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new '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 discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create a December birthday using this colour palette. 

I decided to create a Z-Fold Bookbinding card - I'm enjoying making these at the moment!

I started by creating the card base from a blue card, two pieces of card 1  measuring 11 1/2" x 5 7/8" and the second piece measuring 3 1/2 " x 5 7/8"

Next I scored the larger piece as follows along the long side: 

• 2 1/8", 4 1/4" , 5 1/2"

The card was folded and burnished and then the book binding edge was glued down to create the folded card.

I then chose some orange papers from the Freddy Fox collection and adhered these to my card base, leaving a small amount of the blue card showing.

In my graphics software, I then resized the Theo Hello penguin image from the brand new Snowy Days collection and printed this out onto alcohol marker friendly card along with the birthday sentiment from the collection.

I die cut an arched frame from the same blue card and mat and layered the birthday sentiment at the bottom of the arch.  I used the waste from the arched frame to add to the inside of the card.

Theo was coloured with my promarkers before being fussy cut out and adhering into the arch with foam tape.

I then used a balloon and bunting dies set to add details to my happy birthday card, ink blending the balloons fro dimension.

To finish off my card I added some gold confetti around the design , clear sparkle to the bunting and white gelly roll pen highlights to Theo.

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

Hasta luego 👋
