Baking with Bears

(Catchupmageddon Post) A couple of cards I made using sets from Lawn Fawn and My Favourite Things. The blue card I made as a commission for someone who loves to bake.

In this card I used two Lawn Fawn sets, Bannerfic and Baked with love. I used a stencil from the stash for the back ground and used blue distress oxides. I then assembled the blue table cloth and the elements on top.

All the stamped elements were coloured with copics and some stickles. Spotted paper & sequins were from the stash. 

I also made another card in pinks! This time I included some little bears from the My Favourite Things Bitty Bears set. Also a stencil for the background, elements coloured with copics (and stickles) and paper and sequins from the stash.

I can't resist adding tiny bears to things, what is wrong with me? lol.

Thanks for joining me on yet another catch up post. Back to card making now, I need to make some fresh new cards!

Dr. Digi's Pet Selfie Competion - Win 2 digis!

Just sneaking in an extra Dr.Digi DT post today, Grendel was ready for her debut and there is exciting news on the Dr.Digi facebook front that I wanted to share with you!

Excitement first! Go now to the Dr.Digi facebook page and enter to win 2 free digis. All you need to do is take a quick selfie with a pet of your choosing (could be any, there are no standards) and post it. DONE. Easy huh? Click this picture to go straight there.

So for a bit of inspiration and confirming that any old pet will do, here is Grendel. She is obvs a pure bred.....erm..... erm... Pugbullcorgi! :)

Went a bit retro in the styling of this card, been along time since I have gone with flowers and bows, but Grendel deserved special treatment!  The papers are from Dr.Digi too, so match perfectly! And I upscaled one a bit and cut out some of the bones to make some cute embellis!

I used Bernadette Rough for the font, printed it out and then stamped over/around it one of the banners from the Lawn Fawn (LF339) Bannerific set. Then cut it out. Flowery things are all from the stash. As are the ribbony things.

Kind of arched the banner over the ribbons, to make a more 3D effect. The bones are also raised with 3D foam at one end, to make them a bit "poke outy"(the scientific term).

Finally a close up of Grendel! Really like how her fur came out. I added a spot of glossy accents to her nose, so she looked healthy and some stickles to her bow, to add some glamour.

Just want to add that if you like Grendel (as you clearly would) but kinda fancy some human in the digi too, she is also part of a fab digi with her owner Graham. See below!

Suggest you head to facebook now and sort out your selfie for the competition! But maybe you want to peruse the shop a while and decide which digis you are going to pick if you win? Click below to go straight there.

Family Tree :)

Made this for a bestie who is researching her family tree :) The professions/descriptions relate to various discoveries she has made along the way (Not always as they seemed at first or in this order lol).

I sprayed Cosmic Shimmer sprays over a wooden laser cut tree to make the background. Then I stamped Lawn Fawn Bannerific banners is Memento Ink and coloured them with copics. I added pseudo italic style text by hand. Embellished with a few punched oak leaves to finish.

Hop Day Eight

Just interupting the flow of the hop, I had to make a card for an order! If you want to find out about the hop and how to take part, the link to the post is HERE. Today is the last full day of the hop, picking winners tomorrow on the 14th.

So onto the card order! It was a card order for a film theme birthday card for a Dad! :)

I harvested the film logos from google to make the background and then printed them out. I mounted this on gold paper. I used 3 cigarette card of movie idols to make the fan shape in the centre, and mounted them on gold too. I printed out the greeting (Little Lord Fontleroy) in a slightly curved shape and then stamped over it the Bannerific Banner from Lawn Fawn (LF339). Gold bling to finish. Not an elaborate card but it was quite short notice and needed to be mailed pretty quickly to the customer. Might actually have benefited from no faffing keeping it a pretty crisp design.
