Pion Design With Love

Hello everyone how are you all?

I was hoping you to show you a project this week with in depth photo's or maybe even a video of the making or part of. However my daughter got took into hospital & although she is home now she is still very poorly. Also my eldest son & family moved at the weekend so I was looking after my grandchildren as well as my poorly Natalie & well there are not enough hours in the day.

So I will show you that next week as I'm really looking forward to doing it. Today though I have some shabby chic for you......oh my I love shabby chic........I would have it everywhere........even hubster would get the shabby chic treatment if I could get away with it lol.

I used the oh so pretty Pion Design 'My Dearest Sofia' papers, I went with blues for this one with just hints of pink in the background.

I have also used bits from the Crafteezee Collection No.9 which I think was March Elegant collection......but I'm not certain :-(

The 2 hearts in this photo are from the Crafteezee collection, the lace heart is lace & you get a long length of it but I just cut 1 heart off.....you may end up seeing these lots lol

The small metal heart I added Ivory Fran-Tage embossing powder to it but before I heated it with my heat gun I rubbed off little bits here & there so a bit of bronze would still peek through.

I also cut out 2 doilies, 1 in white card using a Fantasy die & the other from Pion paper with a Marianne die...........these are 2 of my favourite dies........amongst many others lol.

This little wooden peg with a heart on was also from the crafteezee collection....I added white gesso to the wooden peg & then stamped a postage stamp on the half of the heart.......its not showing up very good in this picture. I stamped onto paper first to get a lot of the ink off as I wanted it light.

I love the metal leaves but sometimes I think they dont really go with my card..........so I added Fran-tage embossing powder to both sides & heated them with my heat gun.........be careful & use tweezers as they get very hot with being metal.

Now I absolutely LOVE them & will be buying lots & giveing them the fran-tage treatment lol.

For these I used Ivory Fran-Tage to match the smaller metal heart in the previous photo.

I used some gorgeous flowers & I used quite a few different leaves. I used the metal ones & I used 2 different Rosy Owl Leaf dies & I also used Tim Holtz Holiday Greens.......I think a couple of the dies in this set you can get away with all year round. The Tim Holtz ones I cut with the blue 12x12 Pion Sheet, Rosy Owl was cut with the green 12x12 pion sheet & the maja design sheet & also white cardstock..... I also added some heat treated organza ribbon in there as well.

I added cheesecloth between the first & second layer & I also added 2 different laces. I distressed all my edges with a Tim Holtz tool.

Well thats it from me dont forget about our current challenge which is 'Add Lace' here.

Thanks so so much for stopping by it means a lot to us.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Send Me Flowers

Hello everyone how are you all?

Well I'm here today with my DT post for Noor Design UK, I've missed 2 weeks as so many things have been going on in real life so took a break. However I am back now & you can expect things to return to normal.........though I'm far from normal hee hee.

Ok so I'm here today with a Dreamerland Craft stamp....now in all honesty half of this card was made weeks ago but didnt get finished. So I thought I would finish this one first :-)

I have used the fabulous Lemoncraft Everyday Spring 12x12 papers, these are so colourful & bright & go with anything.

As always I have machine stitched all around the edges.

The seam binding is one I coloured myself. The centre piece is actually a Brad from Noor Design UK, these I love!!

Underneath is a Fantasy die & also along the edge is another Fantasy die.

Talking of Fantasy dies, have you seen all the new ones Tracy has recently added........soooooo fabulous!!

I have took a photo of the inside before I add somewhere to write on just to show youhow pretty these papers are. As you can see I have also added the Fantasy die inside too along the edge.

The fabulous stamp is one of my favourites I absolutely fell in love with this the second I saw it......how darn cute is Teddy there!! So this cutie is called 'Send Me Flowers' & I stamped onto Fabriano & coloured with distress ink refills. I dont remember the colours as I coloured this up about a month ago. 

I also added pearl dots randomly with a pearl pen & cut it out using Little Darlings Fancy Rectangle die.....probably my most used die lol.

Have you seen the utterly dorable wooden fence..........how cute is that!!! I added a charm on top of it to add to the whimsical charm of it all.

I added WOC flowers & the large flower is made from Foamiran which I made a few weeks ago with the newest release of Rosy Owl dies. I also added a feather underneath. The rolled flower is form my stash.

Well thats it from me but I have something a little different for you next week ;-)

Until then why not go have a splurge in Tracy's shop where you can find sooooooo many goodies........seriously you will be spoilt for choice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

All Dressed Up - Prosecco Time

Hello everyone how are you all?

I'm here today with inspiration for the Noor Design UK blog & today I'm using one of the new Little Darlings releases due in the store soon & the latest Pion papers which have already landed & a few Little Darling dies.

All links will be at the bottom of the post.

The gorgeous papers I've used are Pion Design 'Theodore & Bella' collection........omgoodness these are beyond adorable...they are soooooo cute!! I've inked the edges slightly & machine stitched all aroun them.

I've used 1 sheet on my card & just used opposite sides.

This sentiment comes with the stamp & I stamped part of her foot next to it........ The die used to cut it out Little Darlings.

I also used another separate Little Darlings sentiment for the 2nd sentiment & the same die.

The stamp is called 'Prosecco Time' & I coloured her with copics.

Colours used are............

E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 - Skin

E59, E39, E37, E35, E31 - Hair

RV99, RV95, RV93, RV91 - Outfit & Shoes

C3, C1, C0, Blender Pen - Background

W5, W3, W1, W0 - Ground

I also added Stardust Stickles to her wine glass & Pearl Dots around the image.

I used Little Darling Fancy Rectangle die to cut the image out & then matted her onto Pion Design Palette cardstock.

The banners in the middle cam with Fancy Rectangle die & the Heart Buttons were made with dies from Fancy Squares die & I added waxed cord through it.

I added flowers & pearls & pretty lace. All in all I kept the card simple as this is such a fabulous image & I wanted her to be the star of the show lol.

Why not pop along to the pre-order section to see the full range of LDRS Stamps &Dies, LDRS Dies are fantastic & cut first time every time, they are some of my favourite dies......rectangle & squares I think I use more than any other die lol.

Thank you so much for stopping by & making my day, you all totally rock mmwah.
