Bildmalarna - 7 Deadly Sins - Greed

 Hello friends

I'm sitting at my desk and watching the sun rising, it's beautiful and it looks like it's going to be a lovely day. I'm away again this weekend, I'm off to look after Dora the Dachshund while her family go to Peppa Pig World! 

A big welcome to Carol Gill for becoming a follower, it's lovely to see you here.

I'm sharing my final card from the & deadly sins set from Bildmalarna, but I am still looking for the ones that I'm missing! So here it is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base

Bildmalarna stamp - 7 deadly sins - Greed (sadly no longer trading)

coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card

Papers are from Trimcraft - Retro Blooms

Flower dies are from Sweet Dixie - Delicate Blooms

Sentiment stamp - Clearly Besotted

Everything else from stash.

I followed a sketch by Jules at Always with a Heart blog you can find her sketches HERE

Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon.

Good morning blog friends and visitors.

I'm on countdown now as my shielding finishes on the 31st March. It's been a long year and I'm so looking forward to doing my own food shopping, but still staying safe. It'll be great to visit friends even if it's in their gardens. So not long now. 

Anyway, I have a card to share with you all, this card I made for my great niece who will be 4 on the 1st April and she loves horse riding! So I thought this is a great image for her. So here it is...

To make this I used a 7x7 card blank, Simply Print image from Lili of the Valley which can be found here. Spellbinder die, number and happy birthday die are unbranded, heart embossing folder (it could be papermania!) Flowers are Trimcraft and Wild Orchid Craft roses and everything else is from my stash.

Have a great weekend and a big thank you for all the lovely comments on my last two cards, I'm amazed how many of you took the time out of your busy lives to visit.

Stay safe, Debbie x

Wow, it's February!

 Hello friends,

Well can you believe it we're into February and it didn't seem that long ago we were waiting for the big man in red! Still no snow in 'sunny' Southend, plenty of wind and rain, luckily we're stuck in! I must admit I'm struggling with this current lockdown, I'm so missing my family and friends. It's my niece's birthday this month and my mojo decided to go missing, so I cased a card I made a few years ago. I'm pleased with it.

I can show the card as my niece doesn't look at my blog and here it is...

So I used the following to make this:

6x6 card blank.

Papers are Trimcraft, First Edition 'Love Letters'.

Lili of the Valley Art Pad, unfortunately, I can't find this image in their Etsy shop.

Lili of the Valley sentiments and you can find them HERE.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The wonky stitched die is unbranded.

Pearls, charm and ribbon from stash

Tim Holtz distressing tool.

Thank you for taking to the time to visit, stay safe!

Happy Saturday

 Hi friends,

So sunny Southend is not so sunny anymore, Autumn has truly arrived, the wind has been awful here!

I'd like to say thank you to those that have left comments recently, they are much appreciated. So I'm sharing something a bit different today. I have used Lili of the Valley flower alphabet letters. I must admit it was a labour of love as a few thing were a bit disastrous and I started it a couple of times and did some changes once finished. There are a few pics to show....

So this is the first one and I foiled the letters by using my laser printer, placed foil over the top in rose gold and then run it through my laminator a few times to make sure that the foil adhered to the letters. This is the first time I had tried this. I followed a YouTube video by Crifty Crafty which you can find here and used I the same foil and laser printer in the video, my laminator is a Fellowes. You can see the foiling on this one.

Then disaster struck, as you can see I used my Promarkers to colour the letters and then this happened...

A blooming blob which I couldn't repair so had to start again. The next picture is a finished version, but I wasn't too happy with the pink paper...

So this is the finished version, the frame I've had for a while and came from Poundland and yes it cost a whole £1.

I so prefer it with the white background. Here is what I used to make the frame...Image Lili of the Valley, Promarkers, Deco Foil, Samsung laser printer, Poundland frame, Trimcraft flowers and bling from stash.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and please stay safe.
