Fierce Fairy Frankie for Making Cards Magazine

This is another of  the cards that I made for  Making Cards Magazine last month.  I used a number of Mo's Digital Pencil fairies for the feature and I think this is one of my favourites, Fierce Fairy Frankie.  Such a great expression!

The  papers are by Prima from their Melody 6 x6 pad, and I love the Wonky Stitched  Dies from  MFT Dienamics.    There's also a couple of Marianne Dies as per below:

Oval Frame Die   LR0607

Leaves Die SetLR0621

I love the sentiment too that comes with the image - perfect!!

Hope everyone is staying safe and well at the moment.  As least us crafters can find plenty to keep us busy if we have to self-isolate!

Big  cyber hugs,

Lavinia card and tile gift sets

I've been using my Lavinia stamps recently and made a few gift sets for my craft fair of a card and matching coaster - they do make lovely little gifts if people couldn't afford an expensive present!!

I used some Prima papers for the matt and the background on the card and my favourite Marianne frame die along with a Marianne flourish, deets below.  The sentiment is Lili of The Valley.

Anja's Marque Frame Die - LR0483

Anja's Leaf Flourishes - LR0271

For the coaster below, I tried to print directly onto the tile but they weren't flat enough so stamp the image on tissue and used Mod Podge to stick it and seal it on the tile.

That's all for today!!

Happy 21st

Today's card was for my nephew who was 21 this  week and the last  of all our nieces and nephews to come of age - phew!!  I think there's more celebrating going on tonight for the youngsters in the family - I think I'll be safely tucked up in bed by the time they hit the town!!

Anyway, I've used the fabulous Aiden from Mo's Digital Pencil for my card as I felt the rather chilled image is a bit like Jasper!  He's a bit of a writer too hence the script paper and quill and ink - full list of what is Marianne below.

Marianne Products Used

Frame Die - LR0415

Quill and Ink Bottle Die- COL1375

Paper Scroll Die - LR0419

Numbers Die - CR1429

I cut the little clock, quill and script craft candy type embellies from the papers which I think are from a Prima Pad and the sentiment is Stampin Up I think.  And of course, I've used my Promarkers to colour him.

Sadly it's a rather wet and cold Easter Saturday here in the Lakes, such a shame as we have family visiting but they've still gone off for a bike ride so I might nip into my craft room for a bit!
Happy Easter everyone, whatever the weather and whatever you're up to!

Hugs, Juliexx

Birthday card using Marianne goodies!

How's everyone doing in the snow? I was down south and had to drive back from Guildford yesterday.  Had a really good run back despite the weather, just took it carefully and think it was good as so few cars about.  The roads were reasonably clear of snow although I did see a couple of accidents where people were clearly going too fast for the conditions.  Anyway, this was my card for my MIL who celebrated her birthday down in Guildford.  I decided to make it purely with my Marianne stash and managed to do this apart from the Fairy image which is from the Prima Fairy Belle paper pad.

I do love me some rolled flowers especially with a pearl popped in the centre.

I love this new Rose Bouquet die too! Full list of Marianne products is below.
