Soulmates

This is one of those images that makes you go awww how sweet. It is called soulmates and is one of the new love stamps from Lili of the Valley. I used MFT papers and a stitched scalloped border die. The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and I used Copics for colouring. I used my lovely new flower dies, Hunkdory Moonstone fabulous florals.  The banner die is lawn fawn.  I made this for a friend's anniversary and now I know they received it I can share it with you.

Showered with love

This is probably my favourite of the new love images from Lili of the Valley, showered with love. I had the idea in my head of a monochrome vintage style card with just a touch of red. Now sometimes I have an idea and am disappointed with how the card turns out but I am really pleased with this one.

Sharing and caring

This is the last of the anniversary cards I made using the new coloured simply prints from Lili of the Valley. The papers are MME all things chalk again and the sentiment is LOTV. I added some doodling around the image, I really enjoyed making these black, white and red cards. 

A day in Norwich today where we shall either be having breakfast or lunch and I have an appointment for a haircut.

Be Mine

This is the third of the cards I made using one of the coloured simply prints which launched yesterday at Lili of the Valley. The paper is MME all things chalk again and the sentiment LOTV. I used a your next die heart banner and an old Crafty Sentiments heart border die.

Launch day

Yes it is launch day at Lili of the Valley. I posted a card yesterday afternoon so if you missed that one you will find it below. This is another of the coloured simply prints, called showered with love. The images are also available as digi stamps and this one is sitting in my desk waiting to be coloured. In the meantime here is the simply print.

I added some doodling and teamed it with MME all things chalk paper. The lamppost die is MFT, umbrella Memory Box, hearts are Gummiapan and the heart border is Your Next die.  The sentiment is from an old LOTV set.

Sneak peek of the cute couples

There are 4 cute couples launching tomorrow at Lili of the Valley along with the 9 bunnies. I have the digi stamps printed ready to colour but in the meantime I made a set of 4 cards using the coloured simply prints. This one is soulmates. I used MME all things chalk and a sentiment from an old LOTV stamp set. The flower dies are Sue Wilson sweetheart blossoms.  Back with another tomorrow for launch day.

Merry Christmas Graham

Finally back with a card, this one is my hubby's card.  I think I have only used this gorgeous stamp, Christmas song, once before, so I decided to use it for his card as he likes the LOTV cute images. I coloured them with Copics adding fun flock to her hat and diecutting it with an old Spellbinders Labels 10 die. The paper was a freebie with a mag which was sent to me as I featured in it as designer for the day. It was just the colour I wanted. I diecut the trees using Marianne and Doohickey dies and some glittery striped card.

The stickers were an absolute nightmare to attach. They were supposed to be self adhesive. I bought them in America and thought they suited the card and colours so well. I tried pva glue as that usually works on adding a little adhesive to self adhesive stickers. Then I wiped them dry once I saw that wouldn't work and tried ds tape. That partly worked. I ended up using 3d collal glue which I use for things like flowers and buttons. Even that wasn't working that well until I laid heavy punches on top of the stickers to let the glue set.

I wrote a poem inside as I often do and we exchanged cards last night and he loved it.
