Now for my creation for this week.

It’s only a few days till the New Year so I’ve made a New Year’s celebration set.

My set consists of a Champagne Bottle & Glass with a coordinating card. The bottle is from the New Year’s Eve kit by svgcuts and the glass is a reduced bottle top with an added base.

and the bottle open…..

I’ve actually used Christmas paper for my project from the Candy Cane Lane collection by Bo Bunny. I thought this print worked perfectly for my New Year’s theme.

Here’s a closer look at my card.

My image is Tilda in Evening Dress from the Little Circus Moscow collection by Magnolia. (If you’d like to order this stamp just contact Laura and I’m sure she can get it in for you.)

My image was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with my Copic Markers

The colours I’ve used are: E11, E00, E000, R20, E47, E44, E43, E42, C2, C1, C00.

I’ve also added some Dazzling Details to the dress to add some extra glamour. My image has been cut out and layered with Spellbinders Large Classic & Oval Nestabiliites and then onto the Marianne Design LR0240 Large Petra Oval die. The edges on my card have been punched using the Cherish ‘Around the Page’ Punch by Martha Stewart.

Here’s the inside of the card.

 

My sentiment is computer generated and has been cut out using the Spellbinder dies as on the front of the card.

Your next stop for the hop is Blankina.

Stamps: Tilda in Evening Dress (Magnolia)
Card: Basic Gray, Whisper White (Stampin’ Up), X-Press It Blending Card

Happy Birthday.

 

Hello fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop where we are celebrating The Paper Shelter reaching their 4th Birthday on the 8th December. This will be a  2 week challenge with  both teams taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us for an extremely popular theme of ‘A Special Celebration’. 

Our Design Team have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter store and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. 

If you have landed here from Sandra’s blog then you are heading in the right direction. If not you might want to head back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start at the beginning, as you will not want to miss out on seeing any of the wonderful DT creations or a chance at a prize.

I’ve gone with a 3D item for my creation today and what better to celebrate a Birthday than with a Birthday Cake.

I’ve used the very cute Cheerleader image from The Paper Shelter to ‘top’ my cake. I’ve decorated my layers with some lovely bright & cherry papers from Bella BLVD. All cardstock for the cake is from Stampin’ Up.

Here’s a close up of the image.

My image was printed onto X-Press It Blending card using my Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are: Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20; Hair - E47, E44, E43, E42, E41; Clothes, Shoes & Pom Poms - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11, BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11, RV14, RV11.

I’ve made my cake using Silhouette Studio and cut it out on my Cameo. It’s 4 tiers in honour of The Paper Shelter’s 4th Birthday. The bottom tier is a gift box, the middle layers are sealed and the top layer has a centre platform which you can see in the photo above. The candles are chipboard pieces which I have painted with some Pearlescent Liquid Acrylic and the flame is coloured using some Liquid Pearls.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ and ‘Balloons’ are chipboard pieces that I have painted. The Happy Birthday and Balloon strings are painted using Emerald All-Purpose Ink from Tsukineko and the Balloon has been painted using Liquid Pearls and then covered with Crystal Effects. The Stars and ‘4’ have been cut on my Silhouette Cameo. A little bit of party popper streams and it’s done.

Here’s one last photo.

From here you will need to hop on over to Patty Sue's blog.  Don’t forget to leave your comment for a chance of winning your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store.

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Good luck and I hope you’re enjoying it so far.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow….

It’s time for a new challenge at Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog and this week it’s….

Anything Goes.

Our sponsors for this challenge are Shape EZ and Scrapper’s Delight.

I’m using a template from Shape EZ today called Snowflake Card and have created a Christmas ornament. This gorgeous image I am using is from Scrapper’s Delight and is called Winter Elf.

 

My image was printed onto X-Press It Blending card and coloured with my Copic Markers. I have then cut the image out on my Silhouette Cameo which allows me to have a nice even edge to my image. 

The colours I’ve used are: Skin –  E00, E000, E0000, R20; Hair - E49, E57, E55, E53, E51; Eyes - BG01, BG000; Clothes - BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11, RV14, RV13, RV11.

Here’s a close up of the image.

How gorgeous is this image!

The beautiful papers I’ve used are from the Candy Cane Lane Collection by Bo Bunny. Just love the colours in these.

I’ve added lots of Liquid Applique for all the ‘fluffy’ bits on this image and some Silver Dazzling Details for the ‘gem’ on the hat and dress.

I found some little glittered snowflakes in my stash which fit perfectly for some added bling and a little embellishing.

Here’s the back of the ornament.

The words were made on my computer. The original template has a hole in this section but I didn’t want that for my ornament so I filled the back with the sentiment and the front with a piece of coordinating paper.

One last photo.
