Wee Suzy...

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well and having a good week so far _ I wish the weather would brighten up a bit, anyhoo, here's a little Summery card for today:

This is "Wee Suzy" and I think she was the first stamp image ever created for Wee stamps by Sylvia Zet.  I coloured her in copics and a touch of prisma pencils in her hair.

The delish papers are the Secret Garden Collection by Graphic 45 and I couldn't hold back any longer - I opened up a pack of the Heart Stems die from Impression Obsession :)) Love these...As with all the IO dies, they cut beautifully.  This is a very versatile die too and I can imagine using it in a lot of ways. I think I love all these new IO dies...

All the following items used on this card are from:  My Crafty Heart Store:
PAPERS:  New Secret Garden 8x8 and co-ordinating  6x6  patterns & solids - both Graphic 45;
DIES: New Tiny Bows - & Fabulous Phlox dies, both Memory Box & New Heart Stems Die from Impression Obsession & New Romantic Rectangles Nestabilites, Spellbinders 
BUTTON: "All is Bright" buttons - My Mind's Eye
LACE: New  Vintage Crocheted lace - Melissa Frances
PEARLS: Trinkets & Baubles, Melissa Frances 
Tiny blue roses from stash

Little Cottage Cutie...

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well in Blogland this May Monday...I hope the weather brightens up a bit more than it has been though there hasn't been any more rain, but I hope I haven't spoken too soon...anyhoo, here's a little card I've made for today using one of the latest new Elizabeth Bell stamps...

This is Bella Sole Gifts of Love, One of the latest new Cottage Cuties stamps from Elizabth Bell.  I coloured her in copics and added some grass in copics too.

I used some of that Frantage stuff - I couldn't wait to have a go and frantaged the cage using shabby pink frantage.  I cut the cage out using buff card, then I did stamp onto it using a bronze ink, one of those little dew drop size thingies. 

Them I tipped on some of the frantage.  First of all, it went everywhere when I tried to heat it, then I saw a Youtube video where the lady heated the item from underneath - and it made such a difference!

All the following items used on this card are from:  My Crafty Heart Store:
STAMP: Bella -Sole gifts of love - Elizabeth Bell
PAPERS: New Divine 6x6 pad - Prima
BUTTERFLY: New Divine Butterflies - Prima
FLOWERS: Fairy Belle Lucerne flowers, by Prima
DIES:   New Bird Cage and  New Butterfly set dies both Impression Obsession;  New Tiny Bow die - Memory Box; Spellbinders Nestabilitie - Radiant Rectangles;
CABACHON Made with one of the Epoxy domed stickers from Prima
PEARLS: Trinkets & Baubles - Melissa Frances

My attempt at a CAS card...

Hello Everyone,

(There is still time to enter the Saturday Candy if you haven't already below- it ends at 3pm today)

I hope you are all having a great weekend so far...I have managed to get some cards made too and thought I'd give myself a challenge at doing a "Clean and simple" card, though it's really difficult for me...

It's not really a CAS card is it? :)) Oh well, I tried! This little lovely is "Fabulous" by Mo Manning and she was a joy to colour, she really was.  I paired her up with some new Prima papers "Sunny Days",.

Notice no flower...now that's sort of CAS isn't it?.....

OMW that bow...love it.  I can see this is going to be handy for a lot of cards in the future and I popped a little beaded heart in the centre for good measure....and then of course a little butterfly.  So, all in all, not really a CAS Card at all...whatsoever:))

All the following items used on this card are from:  My Crafty Heart Store:
PAPERS:  New Sunny Days 6x6 pad - Prima
DIES:   New Large Bow die  by Impression Obsession 
BUTTERFLY:  New "Divine" Butterflies, by Prima
SENTIMENT : Anytime messages - Hero Arts (stamped using Fired brick DI)
GEMS: New Summer Mix gems by MeiFlower @ MCH

Thankyou so much for visiting my little blog today and for all your lovely comments and I'll be back later today with the results of the Saturday Candy...

Big Hugs,
