A birthday hop

Hello lovely people,

We have a new challenge at All Dressed Up combined with a special surprise birthday blog hop!

Today is the very talented Wendy’s birthday; for those who don’t know Wendy is the owner and artist behind All Dressed Up.

All the team would like to wish Wendy a very happy birthday and thank her for her amazing images, and for everything she does.

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this month is...

FLOWER GARDEN

 So we want to see all those beautiful floral creations...in PINK of course!

Apologies for the wonkiest photo ever, it was just one of those days!  I have crammed in the flowers though, on the image, the DP and some lovely 3D flowers too :-)
I have had some hessian ribbon for a little while now and decided it was time to use it, and I do love it teamed with the seam binding and twine - both rustic and pretty.

I have just started the skin and hair colouring class at Kit and Clowder and whilst I have a long way to go I feel I have made some improvements already...like the hair on this little lady...what do you reckon?
This is just one of the many gorgeous new fairy stamps at LOTV; I could so have bought them all but had to resist!

Scrap n' Art with All Dressed Up

Hello lovely people,

Thank you for stopping by and I have a very special project to share today as one of my cards has been published in the latest issue of the Scrap n' Art online magazine.

Scrap n' Art is an electronic magazine packed with articles, tutorials and inspiration all the paper crafter and has a reader base of over 20,000.

Wendy Burns and three brand new, exclusive All Dressed Up images are being featured in the current issue plus several of the design team have submitted projects.

The three exclusive digis are:

Love My Teddy

Princess for a Day

Too Good to Eat

These three digital images are currently available only by subscribing to Scrap n' Art.  Your subscription entitles you to a monthly magazine for $24/year or you can try it for $5 for one month and you can access tutorials, inspiration, editorials and downloads.

For my card, I used another cute image currently available in the All Dressed Up Etsy store called Little Flower Girl.  I went for a taste of summer with this design, choosing bright colours and florals.

I just LOVE this little lady's gorgeous huge sun hat although it was a little bit of a challenge to colour!  I cut out an extra flower for her hat and popped it up on a 3D pad, then added liquid pearls to the middle of the flowers in the basket.

I've used my fave twine and flowers combo to embellish; I'm still loving the 3D flowers right now!

One more shot from the side so you can see the stepper design I used;

Garden fun

Hello lovely people,

Oh my word, that weekend went so fast and now it's almost halfway through the week!  It was such a fabulous weekend with almost wall to wall sunshine here in Gloucestershire :-D
Dr Hubby and I did lots of gardening and popped out for a little spin in our Caterham Seven with the roof off; it was glorious!
After all that I didn't actually spend that much time in my craft room but I do have a card to share that I made for a special friend who also enjoys being in the garden.

This is the second outing for this image and this time I cut it down slightly to work better with my intended layout.
I very nearly didn't put flowers on this one but in the end I couldn't resist adding a few as they are so pretty!

Not much of a challenge?!

Hello lovely people,

Here is my final card for the day and if you are after my card for In The Pink or A Little Bit Crafty then you need to scroll down a bit!

It's new challenge time at All Dressed Up and this time our theme is...

STITCHING

So, you can see why I said it wasn't much of a challenge for me as all my cards have stitching on them!  I tried out another way to use my large shaped dies and it turned out pretty well.  Oh look, there's that swirl die again!

I have used a new image called Twinkle Toes and given how much I loved the first All Dressed Up image I ever saw which was Abi Ballerina, it's no surprise this was a big hit with me!

Card recipe;

Challenges I am entering;

1.  Papertake Weekly (pretty pastels)

Shabby Tilda

Hello lovely people,

I am back with my second card of the day and it's a mid-way reminder for the current challenge at A Little Bit Crafty.  If you are looking for my card for In The Pink then just scroll down :-)

So, just to remind you, this month's theme is...

FLOWER POWER

This Tilda stamp recently 'appeared' in my craft room so I thought I'd show her a little ink!  I am quite liking the shabby chic look of late so I have distressed and inked the edges of the DP.
Strangely considering the challenge theme I didn't add any extra flowers as I liked the clean layered look.

I tried to keep the colouring soft to match the DP and added teeny dots of liquid pearls to the bunch of flowers.

Card recipe;

Hello lovely people,

Woohoo, it's new release time at All Dressed Up and once again we have an amazing selection of images for you.  Just take a look at these cute wedding themed images...

Just Married

Mirror Mirror

My Little Flower Girl

To Have and to Hold

I know these are all going to be very popular with wedding season coming up but I think the little flower girl also works well for a more generic card, as you can see...

I have had a hard time finding the right Copics for colouring cream but this combo worked quite well and I love the deep red against it.  This feels like a really happy card to me :-)

Polaroid fairy

Hello lovely people,

Sorry for the delay while I was poorly and thank you for your get well wishes.  I'm not feeling better yet but have finally got to the bottom of what was wrong with me and started antibiotics so am hoping to feel better soon.

Since this post was almost ready to go I thought I'd quickly finish it off and will be back with the other 2 belated DT posts tomorrow.

First up, it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this month is...

FLUTTERING ON BY

So, we would like to see some butterflies on your creation.  They don't have to be the focal point as you can see on my card...

Here's a closer look at the cute fairy and yes, that cloudy background is a first for me.  I did it with chalk following a super tutorial from Netty which you can find here.

I cut the inner shape of the polaroid frame using my Cricut and then trimmed the outer shape with my guillotine.

Happy 10th Birthday LOTV!

Hello lovely people,

I took the opportunity of the extra crafting time over the Easter break to make a card to celebrate LOTV's 10th birthday and for a couple of challenges.  I decided on a shabby chic look so the edges of the DP have been distressed, inked and stitched.  I also stamped a little scroll detail in 2 corners.

I experimented with a few new things on this card, one of which was adding a little pull-out tag.  Its a great way to add an extra little message and makes the card more interactive :-)

I also added lots of pretty flowers and another first for me... some pins to add to the shabby chic look.

This is one of the older LOTV stamps in my collection but I like to go back and make sure the older ones get loved too!
Of course, the shabby chic feel wouldn't be complete without a little scattering of Frantage so that's in there too!

Card recipe;

Spring flowers

Hello lovely people,

This is my second post today so if you are looking for my guest DT card for A Little Bit Crafty then please scroll down :-)

It certainly feels to me like Spring is well and truly here with all this lovely sunshine and everything growing away in my garden, so now I have to split my time between gardening and crafting.  What about the housework?  Hmm, best not go there!

Anyhoo,  we have a new challenge for you at All Dressed Up and our theme is...

SPRING

I bet you never would have guessed that with all my waffle about Spring at the start of this post ;-)
I've gone for pretty spring shades and flowers... oooh yes, those flowers are from my newly acquired (and quite enormous!) stash of WOC flowers.  I got all sorts of types, sizes and colours and am having lots of fun using them :-D

Of course, I will just have to share a closer look at this little cutie.  There is a touch of Stickles too but in very small dots so it's mostly invisible in the photos!

Buckle up!

Hello lovely people,

Today I have TWO projects to share with you and look what is first up...

Yep, that's right, I'm super excited to be doing a guest DT spot at  Top Tip Tuesday and the theme this time is...

CUTE

I was asked if I would do a tutorial and I knew straight away that I wanted to share how to make a buckle card.
I first saw this type of card here on Lyndsey's blog and just had to have a go myself, so here's a little look at what the finished card looks like...

And here's how to make it...

Cut a 4cm strip from the front right hand side of a 145cm square base card and save the offcut strip for later

Cut a panel of patterned paper to fit the front of the card and 2 panels to fit the inside of the card, leaving a small white border.  If desired, ink and stitch round the edges of all the panels

Glue the patterned paper panel to the front of the card

Take the offcut strip from step one, round the corners at one end then score and fold at 9cm from this end. This will form the 'buckle' strip.

Cut a small panel of patterned paper to fit the front of the buckle leaving a small white border, inking and stitching edges if desired.  Glue panel to buckle strip.

Inside the card mark out a slot roughly 4mm wide on the left hand side 4cm up from the bottom and 3cm from the left hand edge and cut out with a craft knife; the exact size and placement of the slot is not crucial and can be adjusted to fit where you would like it underneath the image

Attach buckle strip to right hand side 4cm up from the bottom so that the fold line of the buckle lines up with the right hand edge of the card and will fold neatly over the front of the card when closed

Glue patterned paper panel to right hand inside to cover the buckle

Stamp and colour image, trim to size and mat onto a piece of Kraft card. Cover back of image panel with foam pads or tape except for where the buckle will pass behind it; you can mark out where the slot will be by placing the image panel on the front of the card and drawing through the slot you have cut out

Cut a 4x6cm piece of white card and attach to the back of the image over where the buckle slot will be; just glue at the very left hand edge and allow it to hang over the foam pads but don't take the backing off the foam pads just yet!

This is the tricky stage; remove the foam pad backing from the image panel and poke the card strip on the back through the slot whilst you stick down image panel on front

This is what it now looks like from the front;

Glue the end of the small piece of card down inside - you can make the card without this little strip but it does allow the buckle to slide in and out much more easily without catching

Glue patterned paper panel to left hand inside to cover the slot and tab

Decorate the front of the card as desired; I have added flowers and tied some twine with tags round the buckle strip.

Here is the inside of the card and you can see that I added a white panel inside to write the greeting on.

I couldn't finish without a close up of the gorgeous little princess Tilda with a touch of Glamour Dust on the stars.
