Beautiful butterflies

It's La-La Land Crafts inspiration time!  Well, every day it's inspiration time over at the La-La Land Crafts blog and this week we had the theme of making our own embellishments.  I thought I would showcase one of the gorgeous butterflies from the Butterfly Set 1 die on a wedding card...

I used shimmer cardstock for the butterfly and made the flowers with a rolled flower die.  La-La Land Crafts has three lovely rolled flowers dies in large and small and medium sizes.  I used papers from the Eau de Nil 6" x 6" paper pad and Eau de Nil Self Adhesive Crochet Border.  The sentiment is from the Lili of the Valley Simply Sophisticated set.

Check out more gorgeous inspiration over at the blog here.  I will be back on the weekend with my Lili of the Valley DT posts.  ttfn!

Celebrate - it's a new Whimsie Doodle release!

It's time for the new Whimsie Doodles June release and this month we have a cute Sheldon digi available in the store here and the new Miss Adventure stamp sets available in the A Jillian Vance Designs store here.  I used the cute girl and sentiment from the Celebrate stamp set...

Of course she is perfect for those 4th July celebrations but I think she'd be great for any celebration.  This set is a limited edition one so you'll have to get her from the store soon before they run out!  I matched her up with Doodlebug papers (a pressie from my fab blog friend Sally) and used my Nesties to die cut those buttons.  I also used my rectangular Nestie dies to create the white frame.

You can check out more Doodlelicious Diva inspiration over at the store here.  I'm off now but I'll be back tomorrow with my La-La Land Crafts post - see you then!

Would a cookie help?

Hello everyone!  I'm here today to show you a card I made using one of the new stamp sets called Miss Adventure: Tea with Abby now available in the A Jillian Vance Design store.

Isn't she a beauty?  And I love the sentiments that come with this set!  I used a strip of paper from the My Minds Eye Notable collection and dry embossed some white cardstock using my Cuttlebug houndstooth folder.  I finished it off with some twine and a wee little flower for some extra cuteness!

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again soon - ttfn!

An anniversary card

Hello everyone!  Very quickly popping in to show you an anniversary card I made using goodies from the docrafts Eau De Nil collection - 

Such an elegant collection and this will be perfect for my in-laws.  I used the Eau de Nil 6" x 6" paper pad and Eau de Nil Pin Wheels.  For the border, I used two sides of a square lace sheet from the Eau de Nil Lace Papers.  The sentiment is from the Lili of the Valley Simply Sophisticated set.

I'll be back tomorrow with my Whimsie Doodle DT post - ttfn!

Fairy sweetness

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a fabulous day - the sun has been out here in East Sussex although it's gone again along with the warmth  :(  Still, we managed to get down to the coast for a lovely walk this morning and back in time to get ready for my nephew's birthday meal this evening. A good day, all told.

Before I go and enjoy the rest of my weekend, just popping in to share my Lili of the Valley DT card using one of the gorgeous girls from the Magical Fairies Art Pad and sentiment from the Scroll Sentiments set...

These art pads are so beautiful!  I matched her up with a Stampin' Up embossing folder (no longer available, sorry!) and some rolled flowers topped off with pearls.

I will be back soon with more Lili of the Valley cards for Father's Day and the World Cup - ttfn!
