Dolly Dimples Decoupage

 Happy Monday

I am here today to share with you my journey of decoupage the Dolly Dimples way!

I adore Dolly Dimples crafts and I just love Decoupage . 

I find it so relaxing , so if you find yourself a little stressed order yourself a sheet, grab some scissors, foam pads, or 3d glue (I always use this although in the coming months I may try the pads)

My first share is decoupage in the front of my journal.

The goodies that I have used are :

Decoupage Sheet - Green Orchid

Stencil - Fantasy Flower #25

Sentiment - Stickers With a Difference

I also used

Distress Inks - Mowed Lawn/Lucky Clover/Pine Needles

Glossy Highlights

Sequin Waste

I am not sure why in my photo my Glossy Highlights still look wet in real life they look so lush - I had so much fun putting this together my only wish is that I wish I had made it into a card so I could have sent it to someone , never mind there is always next time, and until then

Take Care

Trying something new for today

 Happy Monday , had a busy morning sorting out my paperwork and blogging some future DT bits and bobs but this afternoon I was at a loss.

Then I remembered a set I had brought a little while back and decided to pop it away as I wasnt sure how to use it

Well big knickers pulled up this afternoon I decided to play ~ If I had looked at it properly inside was a little booklet full of instructions, you just can't go wrong

So the set I am talking about is Crafters Companion Birds and Bloom, a stamp and die set that allows you to make over the edge cards. Adorable I have had a great afternoon , following the booklet I made no mistakes and here is my finished card

It's a dull day so a bit hard to catch the over the edge part so I hope you can see it.

In the set you get a few sentiments and some lovely foilage stamps. The three flowers I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out , stuck on with dimensional glue . I also stamped part of the main stamp again to give me another little chippy bird that was also stuck on with dimensional glue.

The sentiment was matted using Crafters Companion Textured Cardstock, using sticky pads too give it some height.

And finally I coloured up using Tri-Blend markers , I adore them so much 

Thank you for looking

Summer Field

Happy Friday. Yesterday was my Birthday it was very different but a nice day was had.

Granddaughter and I were up early baking chocolate cup cakes to be honest we are running a little short on home baking bits so that was really all we could muster, they were indeed very scrummy though! In the afternoon Daughter popped round for a surprise visit we sat in the garden 2 metres apart but then it started raining , Katie sheltered under a tree on a chair and we popped into the conservatory so we could carry on chatting, I am sure we will laugh about this in times to come.

Anyways I did manage a few hours in my craft room and I had seen a challenge on Country View Challenges that I love the sound of  "Summer Fields"

So here we go my card with that theme in mind

 I used Studio Light Paper pad , I love this one I only have 5 pages left ((eeeks!!))

I doodled around the edge with a black fine micron pen.

To start of I used Inkwell Stamps Meadow Row

I have had this a good few years now , I always suddenly remember it and dig it out

I also used a Sunflower Stamp Set this is also very old , I am not sure who made it but I have hunted high and low and can't see it anywhere, but saying that there really are some lovely Sunflower Stamps out there I might even treat myself!

To colour up I used

Inktense Water Colours

&

Alcohol Markers

I also used a few stamp sets that were freebie's from my magazines

Wild Flowers

The Country of an Edwardian Lady (Bee)

Layered Peonies (Sentiment)

I used some Glossy Accents on the Bee's wings along with a sprinkling of glitter.

Layering some pieces up so they popped of the page

I also used a few elements from MJM Design Studios - I have a few of Michelle's collection I love them and they are very handy to make either complete projects or to use parts with other things in your stash

Claudes Garden

Fall into Autumn

I finished of using Distress Oxide to dust round and a white marker for some detail

Thank you so much for stopping by

Happy Birthday Auntie Ivy

Happy Sunday

It's Auntie Ivy's Birthday soon

Now we don't normally send Birthday cards but....

I was poorly last Christmas and did not get to make my usual Family home made cards...

Am afraid they were all brought..

I heard a wisper that she missed my normal homemade card and that stayed with me, so many people really dont appreciate the time and thought that goes into homemade these days.

I was determined to make a nice  Birthday card and here it is

I have used the wonderful kit from Pinflair

Through the Window

The Quality is super and you get a lovely sheet of thick acetate for the windows.

The flowers are all numbered so very easy to decoupage 

I even made a little insert ( a first for me a proper insert)
