DLD Sneak peek no 6/Simply Soft kit/Upcycled box

Hi everyone i'm back again with another sneak peek from the upcoming NEW Simply Soft kit to be released on February 1st.  For this one I upcycled a round box that had tealight candles in it.  I took the papers & elements into Craft Artist 2 & placed one of the elements on top of a paper then sized it to fit my box top before printing.   Then I cut the butterfly & flowers out before shaping them and to finish I cut the centre flower with a die from the papers.  I'm hoping you like & have time to stop by & let me know.  And don't forget to stop by the DLD fb page too for freebies, fun & challenges. Links below as always till next time Jacqui over and out.

OMCFC January - Challenge #29: No Pink Or Red/Faery Ink/Bee-you-tiful Pixie

Hi again guys gals & fb pals hope you're all fine & well & enjoying your crafting.  I'm here today to show my Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenges dt project for 17th January. It'll soon be my youngest daughters birthday & she'll be 24!!  She once went to a fancy dress party as a bee & this image from Faery Ink called Bee-you-tiful Pixie is exactly how she looked she even had the same hairstyle at the time. So I decided it was a perfect birthday card for her and as she's not a girly girl the colour scheme with "No pink or red" was also perfect for her. I'm pretty sure she'll love it and I hope you do too.

Hi again hope you're loving all the sneak peeks lol.  For this one I made a stepper card (cos I had some in my stash the right base colour).  I used the NEW DLD Simply Soft papers and also one of the two digi stamps you get with the kit. I really love that we get digi stamps this time too.  I coloured her with my Spectrum Noir pens and distressed everything with a Gathered Twigs distress ink.  I also used one of the mat elements and stamped my sentiment on it in the same distress ink.  Then I added some creata rub ons a funky little hat some twine & a heart to finish.  Hope you like till next time Jacqui over and out.

DLD Sneak peak 1 NEW Simply Soft Kit/Pillow Boxes

Hello everyone it's Jacqui here with my first sneak peek of the new Dragons Lair Designs Simply Soft Collection.  It's absolutely stunning and is coming in February!  For my first sneak peek I made some pillow boxes with the Memory Keepers punch board.  I made 2 different sizes and embossed them with some Sheena Douglas embossing folders.  After embossing I highlighted the embossing with some gilding waxes in white & gold and I used a Marigold distress ink on one.  Then I die cut my names in white using an Xcut alphabet & added them to the shapes from the kit for on top.  And that's it for my first one.  Keep an eye out for some more I have soooooo many ideas & I love the Alphabet with this one so I must use it too.  Till next time Jacqui over and out.

OMCFC January - Challenge #27: New Years Resolutions Lia Stampz

Hi everyone & welcome to another New Year.  My first project for this year for Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenges is a New Years Resolution.  Lots of people tend to make these but i'm not really into them so I decided to do the opposite of what others do!  Instead of lose weight or go to the gym etc I decided my New Years Resolution would be to Eat More Cake lol.  For this project I used a stamp from one of our new sponsors Lia Stampz and as i'm a cat lady it was perfect for me.  If I really made a New Years Resolution it would be to not let my daughter Sarah-Jade talk me into anymore pets lol.  Three cats & a husky are way too many at times but I love them all. I hope you like what i've made & can pop over & enter our challenge.



I've entered this into their challenge anything goes.
