Dream Valley #195 Love and Kisses

Hi, guys, from a grey and drizzly Hertfordshire! We have a romantic new theme at Dream Valley - Love and Kisses. Just in time for St Valentine's Day!!

Our lovely sponsor is Di's Digi Designs and a lucky winner can choose 3 of her sweet images.

I have made a congratulations card for an engagement.


I used both birds from the Woodware 'Love Birds' stamp set (which sadly seems to be out of print) and stamped them facing each other. I love the folk art 'vibe' and coloured them in lots of different Copic colours. I covered a die-cut pink heart with Spectrum Noir clear sparke pen and added Glossy Accents over the top. The hearts on the birds have also been sparkled!

I layered papers from a very old magazine freebie, and then some pink card. The card base is 5 x 7 inches.

I hope the ladies I made this for will like it!

Go and see the romantic creations my teamies have left to inspire you and join in with the love!!

Thanks for looking, and have a good week!

love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Image
Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

Bear birthday card!

Image
 Hello there! This is a very late post, but I've just been messaged by my son-in-law that he's received his birthday card, so at last I can post it! Since Brexit it has taken so much longer to send cards from the UK to friends in the EU, and I'm not organised enough to make allowances for the extra time.  Ooops! For the background I die-cut an old background die from Simon Says Stamp for a dimensional white-on-white effect.  The bear is from the  Heart Hugs  die set by Honeybee stamps.  His little paws are cut out so that he can hold balloon strings or a heart! It's such a cute set, it includes a fox and a hedgehog! The balloons and strings are from the same set - I covered the balloons in glossy accents.  The sentiment is an old stamp from the much-missed Paper Smooches. My son in law loved this simple card, I think it's very masculine. Thanks for looking and take care! love Mags B x

Inspired by Chrissie Stokes - a CAS Christmas card.

Image
 Hi there! I have been busy preparing a class on making Christmas cards for our branch of the Mothers' Union at the end of the month.  I have been cutting reams of paper and mirror card ready to be assembled by the ladies.  I'll take some photos on the day - with permission of course! I am stupidly nervous, even though everyone there has been a friend for many years!! I am currently sorting everything and wondering what I've forgotten.  There's bound to be something! Anyway, this isn't one of the card designs for the class, it's inspired by  Chrissie Stokes  who makes beautiful CAS cards.   Here  is her blog post and this is my CASEd version. I used Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes dies, with two of each layered together for dimension, on a linen-effect panel cut with a wonky stitched die.  The sentiment is an older die by  Love from Lizi .  The gems are from my stash. I have had a lot of dental work this year to straighten my teeth and I made 10 cards like this fo
