The Greeting Farm Little Fairies

Hi Lovelies..

I've been playing with an older stamp set - it's the Little Fairies set from The Greeting Farm... and for this one, I've made a shaker card... but you have to have your glasses on to spot the shaker bits!  I've also used another of the slatted dies from Craft Addiction UK - I think I'm getting seriously obsessed!

I coloured and fussy cut the fairy, giving her glittery wings of course(!), then die cut the slatted circle, using all three dies in that small size to give the stitched edge around the slats.  I then cut a piece of acetate the same size, adhering it to the back of the slatted circle.  I popped some glittery little stars onto the acetate, and backed the aperture with some pink smooshed card, adhering with foam tape. 

Then I created the card panel, first die cutting the square, then after adhering the fairy shaker bit, stamping the sentiment in the corner.  I diecut a few tiny stars from the smooshed pink to adhere in the top corner, again with a bit of glitter.  I used some pink card for the panel to matt on - well the more pink, the better!

Now here's the 'money shot'.... you can actually see the glitter stars in the shaker window!  I promise they can easily be seen in real life!

Hi there...

I'm so excited to say that I'm Guest Designing for The Greeting Farm throughout March! I absolutely adore their images and have lots in my craft stash - they stamp so clearly and are a joy to colour.

Today I'm using a cutie from the Little Fairies clear stamp set - and of course I chose to use my favourite colour - well, fairies have to have lots of pink, don't they??  

I used the little tiny crown and the sentiment from the same stamp set - they go so perfectly together.

After I'd coloured the fairy, I blended some Broken China Distress Ink onto the circle, then I fussy cut the fairy and adhered her with some double-sided foam tape.  I added glitter to her wings and crown so she has some lovely sparkle.

I hope you like my make today.

Playtime.....

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

I've been doing a bit of playing with cards other than DT makes while we've had all this snow here in the UK..  I was inspired by a card made by Laurie Willison who is on the MFT Design Team.  I've seen this MFT Happy Birthday Circle Frame used a few different ways... but I think this has to be my favourite.

For my first card, I used a little fairy from The Greeting Farm Little Fairies set for the centre..  coloured in PINK of course..  then I coloured each of the letters in the circle frame a different rainbow colour.

Then for my next card, I used one of the gorgeous unicorns from the MFT Magical Unicorns set...  this guy is perfect for the main attraction, don't you think??

I used an embossing folder for the background, layered on a coloured card base, just to give it that extra touch of colour.

I used an MFT Pierced Circle which I lifted up with double foam pads to give room for the Happy Birthday frame.

I bought all of the dies and stamps from Dies To Die For.

I will pop back later and add the Copic colours used... but the list is upstairs and my legs are tired....  

Big hugs
