Wishing you a Happy Birthday .

Hi
It is time for the new monthly challenge over at Craft-DeebowZ. where as always the theme for the challenge is Anything goes with a handmade bow.
The sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps  The lucky winner will recieve 4 images of their own choice as the prize

For my DT project i have used the sweet image called Girl balloon and you can find her HERE
I coloured her with promarkers. 

The embossed background was created using an 8x8 crafters companion embossing folder with a musical pattern and some Kraft card. The  spotty papers were from Lidl ... The hessian was from the works .The organza red ribbon came from a previous  monthly  ribbon stash from my Craftdeebowz boss.

The stamped sentiment came from In2craft and it is by creative expression as part of the Big ideas set .The flowers are from wild orchid.

The heart always finds it's way

Hi
Here is funky card and matching gift box i have made for The  In2craft  facebook page /shop   DT. They have some Xcut dies coming into their store at fabulous prices so get over to  In2craft  and save yourselves some money on these x cut dies.
I have made a stepper card using a presscut die  for this project and have used the die called The heart always finds its way which i cut out once in pink and once in black [which i shadowed behind the pink]  for extra pop . the rest of the card was simple matting and layering . I added a little ornate heart die cut from memory box with a heart charm and bow . The charm was silver but i coloured it black with a sharpie to match .The red heart i have inserted back into the die shape was covered with glossy accents .

The box was made in black card stock and then i copied the design from the card to complete the set . I like the simplicity of this card ,leaving the die cut to make the statement ..

Life's wonderful moments

 Hi
It is Tracey here with this months inspiration project  for Craft-deebowz.. I have made this pretty card this month using the new Heartfelt creations 12x12  peony papers. .
The flowers  and leaves on this card were created using the  peony flower/ leaves  stamps and matching dies also from the same collection . I used the Tim Holtz distress ink in picked raspberry to colour the flowers  and mowed lawn to colour the leaves.

The cute wrap around i created on the front was made using a Tonic  Studio die set called tangled terrace window box .It is very effective on the front of cards gives so much interest and dimension

.The pretty frame around the image was a gift from my Craftdee bowz boss Donna i have no idea who made it but it is so pretty ...

The pretty organza bow was of course created with my Craft-deebowz.  bow making tool .It is my go to bowmaker every time ,so easy to use and fab results.

Merry Christmas

Hi
 If you are a Sue wilson fan  make  In2craft your first stop when buying Creative expressions products as you will find their prices ,service and delivery times cannot be beaten ...
So here  is my latest Dt card for In2craft . I challenged myself to make a christmas card using exactly the  same componants as the last card i made [see the  seasons greetings post below this one] but to make it look totally different . 
I used the carol die from Sue Wilsons Festive collection as the main focus of the card 

I used a Creative expressions quilted   embossing folder that is not a christmas themed one but i thing it is generic enough to be used on any project.

The poinsettia flower was made using a Marianne D die and i added  a pretty gem centre from wild orchid . The sentiment came from Phil martins 2017 christmas  stamp set.

I hope you like my card and have a go for yourself .Do visit In2craft  and save yourselves some money on these dies.
