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.

'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,

Ann-Marie

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.

Mini junk journal and matching bag

Hello, Henriëtte here with my last blog post as a design team member for Crafteezee.

I'm sharing a little junk journal with matching bag I've created using 

Lemoncraft Sense & Sensibility papers.

The matching gift bag is made using a piece of copy paper, scrap pieces from the Lemoncraft paperpad and mod podge glue. I found a tutorial on how to make these bags here.

I decorated the bag with leftover pieces of lace and paper roses.
The laces are tea dyed and the flowers are aged with distress ink.

The mini journal is approx. 10 x 7,5 cm.

The cover is also embellished with cheesecloth, laces and roses.

The closure is Sari silk.

The inside has one signature made of tea dyed papers and patterend papers from the 

Sense & Sensibility pad.

It has pockets and tags, sewings, pearl trims, envelopes and 

tea dyed laces.

I have a flip through video available on my You Tube channel. Just click on the link below:

This is my last post as one of the Crafteezee design team members.  

It's been more than a year since I started on this team and I had a great time.

I would like to thank Tracy for giving me the opportunity to be part of this team and to

 work with her awesome products.

I wish Tracy, the team and all readers of the Crafteezee blog all the best. 

We will be seeing each other on other social media for sure.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Tags with Lemoncraft Sense & Sensibilty

Hello, today I have two pretty tags to share with you.

Inspired by the tags from Frank Garcia I cut to large tag shapes out of
 2 mm thick kraftboard and distressed the edges.

Next I covered the tags with the beautiful Sense and Sensibility papers from Lemoncraft.
I made multiple layers with the patterned papers and placed lace between the layers.

I also glued blue cascade pearls on the papers.

To finish the tags I used delicate flowers and two bows made from left over tulle.

Lemoncraft has got some awesome paper collections,  but I think Sense & Sensibility
is one of my favorites so far.

Thank you for stopping by the Crafteezee blog, check out the shop for more
Lemoncraft pretty papers.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Flower tags with Lemoncraft

Hello, Henriette here today sharing two big tags.

The tags measure 18 x 11 cm.

The paper I used is from Lemoncraft, called "Yesterday".

On this tag I used a Fantasy chipboard, Botany, which I colored with pink and green inks.

On this tag I used Fantasy chipboard Singing Fountains 2.

On both tags I glued lace, swirl and leaves die cuts and lots of pretty flowers.

The flowers coordinate very well with the patterned papers.

Thanks for visitng the Crafteezee blog.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

All Dressed Up 'What to Wear?'

Good morning all you lovely crafters, it's Ann-Marie popping in to share a little All Dressed Up loveliness with you.

I've inked up 'What to Wear' for my make today and cut her out so I could 3'd her.  She's been coloured with copics to compliment the beautiful LemonCraft 'Sense & Sensibility' papers.  I also got to play with some 'Fantasy' chipboard.  This is the first time I've used this and it's just fab I love it.  All I did this time was use a little distress ink over it and used it behind the image and I think it just adds that little extra interest and depth to your cards.

I also used the sentiment from the set but decided to cut it up and separate the words so I could ink them up and add them at jaunty angles.

All products can be found over in the store and I've popped a list of links at the end of the post.

Okay folks that's all from me.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Take care,

Ann-Marie xxx
