Fizz

Hello everyone :o)

I love to play with all of my Sugar Nellies, but these sweet little Annie stamps were one of my first loves, and one of the first I bought... I don't think they ever look dated either.

This one is Fizz, and you find her HERE at Funky Kits... however, if you like a bargain (don't we all?!) you can also get her HERE as part of a set of 4 Annie stamps for £9.99.

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely day.

Under The Sea

Hellooooo! 

 

Janine here, and this week I thought I would share a pretty rubber stamp called 'Under The Sea', isn't it cute and she's available from Funkykits.  I was a little out of my comfort zone creating the water effect, so I decided to try and keep it simple by sweeping across the background and then dotting it with the colours I used in the rest of the picture then to finish off I added a few complimentary sequins.

 

 

I used some pretty paper from First Edition in the background and coloured my image with Copic pens. All the shapes were cut using MFT Blueprint dies.  For full details of everything I used go to my blog here

 

I hope your day is a good one!

 

Hugs Janine xx

 

Hazel and Nutty

Good morning Sugar fans it's Fi here...yes twice in the one week!!

Now this has to be one of my favourite stamps from Sugar Nellie...it's Hazel and Nutty...aren't they a cute pair??

You can buy Hazel and Nutty from Funky Kits...in rubber...here!!  Or you can go for the digi version ....here!!

Now this is such a versatile stamp and can be used really for any occasion...and even Christmas!!

I have used papers from MME - Meadow collection, I inked up the edges of each of the layers with distress ink and layered them onto kraft card...oh doodled around the edges too...  I coloured Hazel with spectrum noirs and then shaded with polychromos...I am still practising with the spectrums but I think I am liking them more each day....I then glittered up the wings with glamour dust as the stickles didn't go so well. I made the flowers with one of the die-namics rolled rose dies, the grass and those teeny weeny butterflies are memory box dies which I glittered up with some platinum stickles.  I finished of with some wee pearls in the corners of the layers.

Hope you like this weeks card and remember to pop back tomorrow for some more inspiration from the team.

Best Day Ever...

Hi everyone, its Lynne here today! I hope your having a great week so far. The weather has been miserable here the last few days. Its not cold...just very wet!!

Today i  have made a card and candle gift set using the gorgeous "Best Day Ever" digital stamp. She also comes in rubber but is soon to be retired so if you want this cutie you will have to get her very soon!

I used Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils to colour. For my card i used MME papers, Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly Die, lace, a little bow and added some gems.

The candle was really fun to make..if you fancy giving it a go then here is how i did it....

I printed the digi onto tissue paper (you can just stamp directly onto the paper if using rubber!)
I coloured my image using Promarkers. You have to do quite a few layers to get the colour you want as colouring on tissue paper is not the easiest!
Cut around the image...just roughtly, doesnt need to be neat as you are not going to see the edges.
Place on the candle and using a good amount of wax paper wrap it around tightly gathering the excess in a bunch at the back.
Using your heat gun sweep over the whole of the image. You MUST pull tight on the wax paper as you do this as the pressure from the wax paper pushes the tissue paper into the melting wax leaving the image embedded on your candle.
You will see the candle wax melting and the image starting to change. Make sure you go right to the egdes of your image.
 All thats left to do now is carefully peel the wax paper away and admire your gorgeous personalised candle!
You can also put a sentiment on there in exaclty the same way if you wish!

For more details please feel free to pop over to my blog HERE!

Thanks very much for stopping by! Tomorrow Fi will be here with more inspiration for you...hope you can pop back then!

Hugs,

SOS pink ladies

Good morning sugar addicts

The sun is shining here in the NE Scotland, two days in a row! Mind you we had plenty of rain before that and hubby was getting frantic that he had cut silage and there would not be a chance to bale it all.

Wedding season is here. We had a dance on Friday night and another party this afternoon. Delighted to see old friends again and reminisce on our young days.

Back to work on Monday for me, looking for a delivery of stamps , goodness knows where it am going to put these as we have been trying to reduce the space funkykits takes up. This delivery will put us at bursting point. One of the reasons were have such a huge quantity of these arriving is the price. Com pairing the Far East market to UK/USA does not hold comparison. I know most things are  made there but when you deal with a business in a new country you have to get your head around cultural differences. They have a very different market to us and pitch their product according to the life style and income. Good news for us.

So before we launch these cute girls to you, yes they all girl stamp.

What do you think of these pink ladies?

Answers on a postcard......

I think I will be busy on Monday, loading these up and sending out the DT some stamps to play with. Really looking forward to seeing your creations , very happy to be able to bring these stamps to the Uk, fingers crossed they are as successful as Magnolia's were back in 2007 just when they grew hair. If anyone can remember the Magnolia's when they were bald, let's hope you got rid of those!  

Enjoy your day and I will catch you again.

Be Our Guest....introducing

My name is Elizabeth Elton aka Cardville Cards by Elizabeth. I live near Oslo, the capital of Norway, with my husband and 8 year old daughter. My "day job" is being a social worker, my passion is crafting:) I have a big passion for cards and coloring. Copics are my favorite coloring medium but I also love the soft look of distress inks. I love soft tones and my style is a hint of vintage/shabby chic.  I've been  crafting for about 8 years and I am still in love with this wonderful hobby. I was so happy to be asked by Karen to guest design for Sugar Nellie. I must say I love these adorable images, and I had lots of fun coloring this beautiful Live Laugh Love image. 

I know I will be using this image over and over! 

Here is my card- I hope you like it! 

I used Pion Design papers, dies are by Lifestyle Crafts, Swirl by Memorybox, flowers by WOC. Sentiment is Norsk Stempelblad AS. Postmark stamp by Kort og Godt, pearls by Panduro. I used Frantage shabby white around the image and Stickles on the wings. 

I absolutely love this adorable image called Live Laugh Love. I used the following copic markers:

Skin: E23-13-11-21-00, R20

Dress and flowers: V95-3-91-V000, W3, Hair: E57, YR24, E53-50-43

Wings: V000, W1-3

Greens: G43

I printed the image in light grey to get a bit of no-lines effect.
