MY ETSY STORE IS NOW OPEN!!!

So Excited!! After Months and Months and MONTHS!!!! of hinting and promising I have FINALLY gotten my Etsy store open and started..

While still early, I will be adding cards to the store daily until all of my current stock is online so you will have to bare with me... and just keep on having to check back on it for progress!! ;) 

So if you have ever looked at any of my cards and thought Hmmmm, I really like that, and would LOVE to own one of my creations, please pop on over and have a look. :) 

You will find in my store many hours of love delicately woven into each and every item. I have a variety of Cards, all of my own design and creation, in an array of colours, styles, sizes and prices to suit your particular needs.

I will have a range of cards available including my OOAK (One Of A Kind) cards, my Limited Quantity Cards (Individually Hand Coloured cards that are reproduced up to 5 -10 times) while others are Digitally Designed and then hand assembled. 

Using a variety of mediums including Inks, Copics Marker and Polychromo Pencils before being decorated in high quality embellishments and Scrapbooking Papers the cards I create are never truly identical to each other, even of the same design. That is the Joy of being Handmade!

I will hopefully be adding Mini Albums, Decorative Wall Hangings and Name Plaques to the store just to name a few things, along with my cards so there will be plenty of items for you to select from. 

So come have a look at my store and I hope you enjoy what you see!

Flying high with Mo's "Airplane"

Hi there... not going to waffle on today, as I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but REALLY wanted to post this card on here, as I super happy with it... 

The card features one of Mo's recently created digital images "Airplane" which can be purchased from HERE... as soon as I saw it I just HAD to have it!! I knew I would have a MILLION uses for this little gorgeous image. 

and the first use, seeing as it was recently the beautiful Mo Manning's birthday!! Who could resist a Bright cheery birthday card... 

Funny story.. (lol to me not waffling.. as if) I created a different card from scratch THEN coloured the image...sat it on the card, and the card looked SO PALE against the vibrant colours of the image, I just HAD to completely redo my card from scratch to make it suit better!! :) 

So here is the new and IMPROVE version of my Birthday card, in honour of Mo (Maurie) Manning!

 Card has been completed in my current Shadow box style, that I'm enjoying SO MUCH to make!! It just creates a depth and gives added interest to the card I think.... ohhh and aren't those colours soooo bright!!! Colouring has been done using copics!

 Digital Image "Airplane" by Mo Manning, colouring in Copics, with added White Polychromo pencil for accent

 As you can see by this photo, I have added a layer of Iridescent paint to the glass panels of his Goggles and Aeroplane, followed by Glossy Accents to give it a slightly glassy look.. :) hey.. I was having fun!!  I had to literally pull my hands away from the glossy accents to prevent myself from turning every balloon into a shinny little Glossy Accent ball!!! :) (Addictive Stuff)

 This Inside Panel, free of sentiment so that you can use this card in whatever manner you see fit.. As a birthday.. or going away celebration, or coming home celebration!! Completely up to you!!

(this card will eventually be for sale.. Once my shop is up and running... LOL.. EVENTUALLY!!!!.. Still working on things .. teehee)

Digital Image: "Airplane" by Mo Manning

Jumping Lamb Card Featuring "Emmy With Lamb"

This week I've made ANOTHER baby card in preparation for a little baby girl who will be coming into the world in June. This card though features something quite special. it's interactive!! yep... The little lambs actually rotates giving the card an appearance of the lambs leaping!!!

I'm totally in love with it and so glad it turned out. 

I've used the sweet little "Emmy with Lamb" image that Mo Manning created earlier on in the year.  It was just right with her little lamb doll fitting perfectly with my theme. 

A match made in heaven. :) What do you think!!

 

 "Emmy" has been coloured primarily with Copics, and finished with Polychromo Pencils.  I thought she needed to be sitting in a field of grass.. Only fitting really!! :)

 This is the button handle on the inside of the card that you turn to make the Lambs turn. :) I thought it would make a cute handle. It's actually two buttons stacked on top of each other, to make it a bit easier to "handle".. Teehee.. I made a funny!!.

Dream Big!!

From the moment Mo showed us this new stamp "Reach Star (s)"  also available in a female version, I fell in LOVE!! I didn't know if it was the PJ's, the great big rounded tummies, the tiny little feet in comparison to the bodies, the hands, the way they are flapping as ONLY little toddlers do as they reach for something or the onezy with the cape! but I just had to have this stamp.

 I LOVED the sketchy design, a little different then the stamps I normally colour but I was willing to give it a go because I had the PERFECT digital papers to go with him. Recently having been introduce to NitWit Collection I came across an adorable Digital Scrap booking set called "FQB- Spaced Out Collection" and if there wasn't a more perfect match made in heaven!! Well I'll let you made that decision for yourselves ;) 

 

I really like this HUGE MOON on the inside of the card which allows the person buying the card to write there birthday wishes or such on it.. Very cute. 

 

Wanted to make him look like he was reaching for this moon... and think it was a great way to use the sentiment which is included with the digital stamp. 

 

All elements have been outlined in black. This is a really simple yet effective way to make your cards look professional, but also to make your elements blend into the card... nothing worse then seeing white glaring cut lines... a little trick I learnt from Paper tole.

"Reach Star (s)" Digital Image by Mo Manning - includes Dream Big Sentiment
