Angel Lulu with Lamb

Hello, can you believe it's exactly 5 months to Christmas! Never to early for Christmas in July, so today I'm back sharing a D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls using the gorgeous angelic image called Angel Lulu with Lamb.

I have made a candle using a technique from a monthly bonus class form Kit & Clowder. 

After colouring with Copics I transferred the image onto my candle. I then used lace ribbon & flowers to decorate around the candle.

This technique works well using both digi or rubber stamps. 

This adorable image is available in rubber which can be found here & in digi format which can be found here.

Supplies:

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls "Angel Lulu with Lamb"
Colouring Medium: Copics

Accessories: Pillar Candle, Tissue Paper, Wax Paper, WOC Flowers, Ribbon & Lace from my stash.

Warning: Please remove any flammable embellishments as the flame burns down. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Thanks for stopping by!

Follow Me Tilda

Hello, today I am sharing a card I made for my daughter's 18th birthday. Wow 18 already.... they grow up way too fast!

I have used a cute Magnolia image which I think was appropriate to her generation, hehe, called Follow Me Tilda.

I used lots of Doohickey dies & embellishments to make it all pretty. I even put a personal touch by printing on the piece of paper before I cut it out with die, for the typewriter in a type writer font .

Well I'm off to my craft room to make more cards. Have a busy week with celebrations for the family!

Pretty Kitty Cat Treats

Hello, today I am sharing a little D.T. inspiration for The Paper Nest Dolls. Christine has released 2 adorable stamps in her latest collection for cat & dog lovers! Of course being the "Crazy Cat Lady" that I am ;) I had to share with you today my latest project using Cat Lover Emma.

I decided to do something different instead of the usual card. I chose a tilt style cookie jar to alter & decorate & turn into a cat treat jar.

On the front I have coloured & fussy cut Cat Lover Emma.

On the back I have used the same image but enlarged the cute kitten playing on the front of the stamp & cut him out on his own. I used my Silhouette to cut the computer generated sentiment out of vinyl to stick on & also cut the paw prints.

On the lid I covered it with pretty matching paper & layered with die cuts. The fish bone was also made using my Silhouette machine. I wanted to make the rim of the lid look like a cat collar, but the collar I purchased from the $2 shop was too short, so I pulled it apart & kept the buckle with the elastic part. I then cut a ribbon to the required length & put it back together & stuck it on. I then decorated it with some bling to resemble a collar! 

There you have it! A pretty kitty cat treat jar! I think Duchess approves haha!

I hope this has given you a little inspiration today to try this out for yourself! This purrr-fectly cute stamp is available in rubber which can be found here & also in digital format which can be found here. You don't have a cat, no problem! Check out Dog walker Emma! Hmm maybe I can try a dog version in the near future!
