Pretty in pink (and grey!)

Hello crafty friends, it's Ann-Marie popping in with a little crafty inspiration for you.

I'm am sharing a little of the All Dressed Up love again.  I have inked up 'What to Wear' and coloured her in a gorgeous combo of pink and grey to compliment the pretty LemonCraft Zulana papers all matted on to black cardstock which makes them just pop I think. 

A fairly simple design really but the papers are enough on this one didn't really want to add too much else apart from a few pearls and one of the flowers cut out from the sheet in the paper pack.

A little close up of the image.  I've used my usual copics to colour her in and love just how easy these images are to colour too.

Okay so that's all from me.  I'm sad to say with the store closing this will be my last post as a member of the Crafteezee team but I'm honoured to have been a part of such a lovely team.

I've popped all of the links to the items I've used at the end of my post as normal.  Take care lovely peeps and happy crafting.

All Dressed Up 'Girlfriends'

Morning everyone, it's Ann-Marie popping in today as it's my turn to share a little crafty inspiration with you all.

So today I'm sharing some All Dressed Up goodness and I love how this turned out.  I've inked up All Dressed Up 'Girlfriends' and I've used all three beauties as I've had this idea in my head now for a few weeks where they are all in sort of picture frames.  I took my colour inspiration from the beautiful ScrapBoys 'Dream Garden' papers which are divine and matted it all onto black cardstock.

I've kept everything else on the card really simple.  I just added a border using a Lady E Design border die for some interest, a little ribbon I've had in my stash for like forever and a simple rose and I didn't think it needed much else.

Okay so that's all from me today.  As normal all of the lovely Crafteezee goodies I've used on my card are available over in the store and I've popped the links below.

I hope you have a great week.

Take care

'Love to Dance'

Hello lovely crafty friends, it's Ann-Marie popping in today with a little Monday inspiration for you.  Is it me or are the weeks just flying by so far this year?!

Anyway, I have a card to share with you featuring the sweetest of stamps.  I do so love this All Dressed Up 'Love to Dance' image.  I used to attend ballet lessons when I was a young girl but I'm sure I never looked this elegant!  So as these delicious Lemoncraft Zulana papers haven't left my desk as I absolutely adore them I've used them again and coloured her up to compliment them.  I was feeling in a kind of fussy mood when I made this one so there's a little bit more going on. 

I dusted off the Lady E Design border die and what I love about this one is if you look closely at the layer under the image you'll see that I have used both the positive and negative from the die so there is no wastage, isn't that fab that you are able to use both.

A little close up of the image.  I used a pale grey ink to stamp with so I ended up with a no lines look to it when completed.  As you can see I've been a little extravagant with the pearls today and you also get a closer look at that beautiful organza ribbon.

Okay so that is all from me today.   All the Crafteezee goodies I've used on my card can be found over in the store and as usual I've popped the links at the bottom of my post for you.

I hope you have a great week folks.  Happy crafting.

Take care,

All Dressed Up - Looking Good

Happy Monday crafty friends.  It's Ann-Marie stopping by today to share a little All Dressed Up love with you all.

I inked up 'Looking Good' and coloured her with a mixture of copics and spectrum noirs.  I was in a kind of clean and simple mood when I made this card and I love how it turned out.  I used the gorgeous Lemoncraft Zulana 'Scrappy Chic Grey' papers and cut three different sized ovals from three of the papers.  

I also used a gorgeous Bloomar chipboard oval frame and painted it with a layer of gesso and whilst it was still wet sprinkled lots of extra fine glitter over it.  Not really sure you can pick it up in the photo but it looks really pretty.

I fussy cut around my image too and layered her up on top of the chipboard oval.  A little ribbon and sweet bow to accent and I used a beautiful poppy to add some interest to my bow.  It started out as a white one but I just added a little colour with my copics so that it would compliment the bow.

Okay that's all from me for this week.  All of the Crafteezee goodies I have used can be found over in the store and as normal I have popped the links at the end of my post for you.  I'm off now to have a little crafty play before the family gets in and all peace is shattered!!

Take care and happy crafting.

One of the girls

Happy Monday crafty friends.  It's Ann-Marie popping in today to share a little crafty goodness with you all.

I played with the fabulous All Dressed Up 'Girlfriends' stamp set for this card but decided to only ink up one of the girls.  I love this with this stamp set they are all separate so you can ink them all up together or pick which ones to use.  So anyway, I chose to ink up the one with the stripey tights and coloured her in with copics to compliment the beautiful papers.

Just look at those new beautiful Lemoncraft Zulana papers.  These are the Scrappy Chic Grey that I've used and oh my they are stunning, I love every single sheet in the pack and you see the flowers that I have fussy cut, shaped and layered you get a sheet of those in the pack too so you can cut them out and use as you want to.  

A little close up of the gorgeous girl next.  She looks so elegant with her chic little dress and cute bow.  

You can also see the gorgeous sparkly organza ribbon in this photo too.  It's so pretty and lovely to work with.

Okay so that's all from me today folks.  All of the Crafteezee goodies I've used on my card can be found over in the store and as normal I've popped links at the end of my post.

Have a great week and happy crafting.

Take care.

Pretty in Pink

Happy Friday crafty friends.  Ann-Marie popping in today as it's my turn to share a little crafty inspiration with you all.  

I've inked up the gorgeous All Dressed Up 'Flower Girl' stamp and coloured her in pink and warm greys to compliment the stunning ScrapBoys 'Dream Garden' papers.  Honestly I'm so in love with these they are just so pretty.  

All of the paper elements on my card are from this set of papers.  I cut out the frame and fussy cut out my image and raised her up with some 3d glue.  I cut out and shaped the butterfly with my ball tool to create some movement and just placed it on the corner of my frame.

The sentiment is from another All Dressed Up stamp set 'love and best wishes' but it fitted perfectly in the little cut out flower frame.

Next up is a close up of the stamp which has been coloured with copics.  

All of the Crafteezee goodies I've used on my card can be found over in the store and as usual I've popped the links at the end of my post for you.

Okay folks that's all from me today and I hope you have a fab weekend.

Take care.

All Dressed Up 'Love to Dance'

Happy Friday lovely crafty friends.  It's Ann-Marie here just popping in to share a little All Dressed Up love with you today.

I have had a little play with the All Dressed Up 'Love to Dance' stamp and she is just so sweet.  I love the little accessory stamps you get with her too so very useful for adding those little extra touches to your cards.  I have coloured her up with a mix of copics and spectrum noir markers to compliment the delicious Mintay 'Old Manor' papers.

I do so love these papers such a beautiful colour theme.  I thought I would add a few layers to my card this time and then I decided to fussy cut the image out and raised her up with a little 3d glue.  

I stamped the three little accessary heart stamps out and coloured them to co-ordinate with the image and then cut them out and raised them up with some 3d glue again to add some depth to my card.

I added some ribbon, pearl trim and beautiful lace and I was happy with how it turned out.

Okay so that's all from me today folks.  All of the Crafteezee goodies I've used on my card can be found over in the store and I have popped the links below for you.

Have a lovely crafty weekend.

Take care

Have an Ice Birthday!

Hello lovely crafty peeps, it's Ann-Marie popping in today with my first design team card for 2020.

I've used the fabulous All Dressed Up stamp 'Have an Ice Birthday' as it's perfect for a winter birthday card.  She's been coloured up with a mix of copics and spectrum noir markers to compliment the delicious ScrapBoys 'Cotton Winter' papers.  

I've used the beautiful swirly vine die from Lady E Design and added a few flowers to soften it all up.  I'm loving the kraft card with the soft blue hues of the papers.

A closer look at the image I've used.  She really is so very versatile and I love the little sentiments and added snowflake stamps you get with her too.

Thank you for popping in and hope you enjoyed your visit.  I've popped the links to all of the Crafteezee goodies I've used at the bottom of this post.

Take care and happy crafting.

All Dressed Up 'Have an Ice Day'

Hello everyone, it's Ann-Marie popping in today to share with you my latest card featuring the sweet All Dressed Up 'Have an Ice Day'.

I decided to go quite clean and simple with my make this week.  I like to challenge myself as I do find these difficult to make as I always want to add lots of things to it, but I was very good and just stuck to little gems, but my fingers were itching to add more believe me!

So let me show you how it turned out.  I even went one step further for me and just used white pearlescent cardstock as the base too which I think actually works really well with the image.  

I used a Lady E Design border and stamped the sentiment stamp which comes with the image along the edge and did a quick freehand doodle around the edge of the card too.

She's been coloured with copics and I've cut her out and raised her up for a little dimension.

Okay so that's all from me today.  I hope you have a great crafty weekend.

Take care.

All Dressed Up 'Looking Good'

Good morning my lovelies, Ann-Marie popping in today to share a little crafty goodness with you all.

When I saw this little Bloomar chipboard frame I had this idea of inking up the All Dressed Up 'Looking Good' stamp and putting her inside the frame so it looked like a picture really.  So I stamped her out and coloured her with copics to compliment the gorgeous ScrapBoys 'Dream Garden' papers and then cut her down to fit the frame which I'd actually added a little colour to with silver wax.

I layered up all the papers on charcoal grey card and added a little border with a Lady E Design border die for some added interest.  I thought the accompanying sentiment was perfect to slot behind my picture frame, added some twine, a bow and pretty rose and I was happy my card was complete.  

Okay so that's all from me today.  I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.

Take care.

'Love to Shop'

Good morning lovely crafty friends, it's Ann-Marie popping in today to share some craftiness with you.

I decided to ink up the gorgeous Crafteezee All Dressed Up 'love to shop'.  Love this little stamp set she's perfect for so many things.  When I was inking her up I thought how fabulous she would be adorning a little gift bag just big enough to contain a store gift card so perfect for a present for someone who loves to shop.

  

I coloured her up with spectrum noir markers to compliment the beautiful Mintay 'Old Manor' papers and used the cute little accessory stamps too together with the sentiment from the same set.  I cut them all out and added them to the front of my little bag, added some gorgeous bead trim and a little ribbon and my gift bag was complete.

A little close up of the papers and sweet image. 

Okay so that's all from me today folks.  I hope you have a lovely crafty weekend.

Take care.
