Papertake weekly challenge card and dolly set

 

Its Tuesday which means its Papertake weekly challenge !

 This week the Challenge is a fabulous sketch and this week Papertake is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp !

For my dt make this week ive made a Sarah Kay card and matching fimo dolly.

Now i made a little fimo doggie to match with the card - im not brill at dogs mind  lol ...This little model just looks like Sophia and her doggie mojo ... heheee 

Its suppose to match little Fleur and her puppy Manon on the card.

                    and now onto the card ..

I've used some really delish  dt papers  from charmed cards  , the pad is Prima reflections

This is a fabulous pad - the designs in it are great for both male and female cards. I always struggle finding decent paper suitable for both.

The gorgeous Sarah Kay stamp is available here she is called Fleur gathering flowers with Manon ..Ive also used trinkets - love these, this one is from the bo bunny collection "ad lib" and the gorgeous glitter lace is also from charmed .

I'd like to enter this into these challenges.

LOTV Card and fimo Set Dolly give away !

Well what lovely comments on the Strawberry Dolly topper set i posted yesterday- thank you so much for your fab comments ...xx

So i decided to do something about alittle orphan i had in the craft room !!

I had already made a dolly a while back , so when i saw the lili of the Valley challenge i decided to make a card to match and just add a matching bow to the dollies hat .

I've used Rasberry Road digital papers for the card and some gorgeous Gingham seam binding from Creative Treasures DT kit.

Lets have a look a dolly shall we ? 

She is abit smaller than my usual dolls - and not as big as my Strawberry dolly topper  set so i have decided to give this away .. 

She has'nt got a name yet - maybe the new owner will give her one ?

The theme at lili of the valley challenge is  here comes Summer

and sat with her huge ice- cream she is perfect for the summer colours ive used on the card.

 

Hee hee what a messy pup she is - look at all that dribbling chocolate sauce covered in sherbet and thousand and ones lol.

and now for the card ...

i'd like to enter this set into this challenge .

lili of the valley - here comes summer ( summer colours)

Like i said shes abit smaller than my usual and not as detailed

as my usual ones.

Tilda "rainbow 2011 " strawberry Fimo topper set ..

 

Oh how i love making little fimo strawberries and when i saw the new Rainbow tilda

collection had a strawberry tilda in - well i just could not resist it !!

I have to  say the pictures don't really do this set justice - it is so pretty in real life.

 

Isnt little Tilda gorgeous munching her strawberry ! Ive made a fimo dolly to match this 

Topper - adorned with fimo strawberries ! 

She looks quite home style country there with her red gingham bow on her head band !

 I think the name Matilda suits her, how she cute looks with her head tilted to the side .

Matilda's been busy ! ... her basket is over flowing with all the delicious strawberries she's picked !

 Matilda is very useful too - my fimo dollies dont have to be just for show they can be used as

cake toppers too .

Matching card topper.

I got some gorgeous gingham seam binding in my Creative Treasures kit and a fab button that just went perfect for the card topper and Matildas head bow !

I've used Raspberry Road paper and some scrap paper.

To match the theme and the dolly i made a fimo strawberry charm.

The new Gorjuss .......

Oooooh have you seen the new Gorjuss stamps ?  Its been a while since any were released and i just had to get a couple .. If you havent had the chance to see them yet , they are at

funky kits .

 

I've used some scrap paper and some lace and decorative metal corners.

The gorgeous crystals ( in amongst the blooms ) i had in my DT kit from Creative Treasures and a fab price they are too ! ..

I love the images of these new stamps but i do have a few grievences with them ,  new gorjuss stamps seem to be a bit bigger than the other ones , it didnt fit in the nestie ,

so i had to do a "out of the nestie " technique on it. Shame santoro's who do the stamp

didnt  make it smaller and put the copyright higher up or at the side .. as it makes

it difficult to keep it. 

Not sure what santoro's policy is on selling , so will let you know on that one.

 Sorry to those that missed the ebay of the  Cotton rabbit set - it sold within the hour.sorry folks if you didnt get the chance x

Shabby chic Little Cotton Rabbit fimo topper set .

Theres nothing like a little bunny love ! and this set i made for the Wednesday creative Challenge Dt... which is lace and pearls this week.

Awwww two little cute bunnies ... Remember this cute little cotton rabbit from sugar nellie ?- 

she must be at least a couple of years old by now !  well i decided that she really needs to be inked up again - i forgot how cute she was ! I've made the little fimo polymer clay rabbit to match and there she is eating away at her very delishious  chocolate strawberry cake ! heheee ! ( probably made by calvin mouse !)

I really enjoyed making this and was really chuffed that it turned out so pretty -

Look theres a little strawberry on the cake...

The cake looks like sponge at the side - i think the camera has only just picked the detail up .

Not sure what to call this fimo bunny - she looks like a Flo to me , what do you think does 

Flo suit her ??

 

Heres the topper to match ... the gorgeous lace is from my dt kit from Creative Treasure and if you look 

carefully theres some beautiful crystal pearls stems - and even better they are in the sale at creative treasures.

The pink gem centre  on the bow is also on sale there too . 

The topper is made up of a combination of magnolia paper and Raspberry road digi paper. 

The edges have either been inked or distressed.

Creative Inspirations GDT

 

I won the challenge over at Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge  blog ! I won the may Guest designer spot ! thanks girls .. This week the challenge is embossing ..

Oh bless little Tilda shes waving goodbye .. lots  of flowers and ribbon bow adorn this topper .

The gorgeous diamonte circle at the top left corner is a ribbon slider - but i have slid it under the corner of the paper instead .

You may wonder where the embossing is on this topper - well its here...

 

I could have heated the embossing powder up more - but i rather like the smooth and rough texture .

The shape i have used is from a sizzix bigz die and ive added a brad. Ofcourse you can dry emboss too with the challenge it doesnt have to be powder and heat embossing .

I dont often use this little tilda - but she is a sweetie - love her boots !

The papers i have used are charmed cards - prima pad - i think theres a mixture of a few scraps in there too !

Id like to enter this challenge.

So pretty .Beautiful ballerina Tilda is there and i have added some wings to her to make her alittle ballerina fairy !
Please pop along to papertake to see the lovely DT makes !

I would just like let you all know  ... there has been a huge surge on cd's on ebay that contain handmade cards - images ... However one of them ( and i only know of one at the moment ) Had Bev Rochesters Card to advertise it .It appears that this person is stealing photos from blogs - and going way back into the blogs as the card of Bevs was blogged in 2008 .. This is not on and id just like to say if any of you have bought these cd's and reconise any of my cards there or anyone elses  ,  please let them know x 

This is not on ... i have no problems with people saving pics into there own personal folder for inspiration but not to steal photos for profit . I am sure this could effect all of us , so please be aware .

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges

.Edited to say .... the castle stamp is by great impressions, i got mine in Samual taylors.

Just because its Seasonal !

Now then how many of us have stamps that are seasonal or for a particular calender event

and once that is over they go to the bottom of the drawer ? Well you might want to  get them back out.

Just because a stamp is seasonal does not mean to say it can't be used.

This is one example - On my topper i have used Tilda's egg cart - meant really for Easter!

It is suppose to have eggs in the cart - but theres flowers there instead ! 

There are a few ways you can do this -

Mask it - 

mask the stamp

or do what i did - i just put some masking tape over the stamp where i didnt what the image , inked it up, took the tape off  and then stamped. I then stamp tilda separate and cut her out . 

So the cart was'nt bare i punched out some leaves and  flowers then  added brads.

 I now  have a stamp that i can use over and over again and  no longer sits at the bottom of the pile ! Have a look in your stamp drawer and see what  you can find !
