I had a looky through my stamps for something feminine, what's more feminine than flowers? So I included them, in the design that I thought would be better on a DL card. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next, I blended the colours with DO's on a piece of card to layer on the base card. The sentiments were then stamped, I decided to make the shine sentiment be white with sparkle, but it ruined the clarity. I stamped it again with Stazon on top of the white glitter, it worked, giving the black a glow outside the letters. A save, thankfully.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the bulbs and flowers, then fussy cut them out ugh! (you know I hate fussy cutting). I coloured them in matching DI's. They were added to the blended card and I drew a line to "hang" them onto the white sentiment.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was colouring the stamps, when I accidentally dropped water onto the background, so I just added more. <br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">stamps - Sheena</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">inks - Distress Oxide, pine needles, lucky clover, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl7tyqTE6Q4jC1vxcmY9meo9ru5i7QBPp2YBOA1X1o0sNUmlaTUEDtQPdYxnct4ZYz_55e6P3LG2jDbTKHRsCy3rfhpyI7MS0IwM7uENLDOqtR43ulfZ7cp3Q7C6ZrW5hVjPjlbkKAMcCEznPJzwhcB-Hyfxo0GMZszUhoUVWMMYpFg4HwMikm2gfWZBM/s1233/Shine%20bright.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

font-size: large;">Hello Everyone, it was my birthday on Saturday, too near to that big 80, where did the time go? On a shopping trip, to a store, a few miles away, after a couple of years of not visiting. I saw packs of prepacked, 6 small chocolate chip muffins, just a mouthful size, for a £1.00, that I thought would go well for a birthday gift from me for my walking group. A sort of slice of my birthday cake for them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Of course, I go to my Silhouette for cutting, but I had to hunt in my files for a box to fit, I couldn't find something suitable, so decided to make a design fit. It didn't take long. A paper pad bought recently, although, I told myself I wasn't going to buy anything this year. I HAD too, it was so pretty and only £2.99 for 24 sheets of double sided paper 250gsm. A bargain!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Anyhow, the box and the different shaped lid, which was narrow at the back and dipped to the front, a lovely shape, were cut and glued together. The cake inserted, and then I thought I would add a little something to the lid. I die cut a flower and coloured it with markers. Attached to the top, all done. None of them are crafters, so I hope they like them. I will give them to the group tomorrow, great with a cuppa and chat after our walk. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I want to thank the ladies who sent me beautiful birthday cards, I'm so happy you thought of me. Thank you. <br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">choc chip muffins - Asda</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">template - Simply Cards & Papercraft #250</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">paper pad - Craft Sensations Romantic Florals</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">die - Tattered Lace</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">markers - Spectrum Noir</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItvgYPUNSRbdfj3IcgiuGFvBAg7eEHUeFlTxZLLDZ4_yftVx-4tmpOY0jOp1Q27au0t6Kg5Y5HIKXW7XJaNLuvkF_r_oXAYuLc73BlMIKAxeb7wnuYUaD3InJAzNCIcYeyCjYhf86p2AoHshYUBEEfy7Etj60CJUUwMD9AoN6RwP2VopUGtSIURtbLcE/s951/muffin%20out.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="951" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItvgYPUNSRbdfj3IcgiuGFvBAg7eEHUeFlTxZLLDZ4_yftVx-4tmpOY0jOp1Q27au0t6Kg5Y5HIKXW7XJaNLuvkF_r_oXAYuLc73BlMIKAxeb7wnuYUaD3InJAzNCIcYeyCjYhf86p2AoHshYUBEEfy7Etj60CJUUwMD9AoN6RwP2VopUGtSIURtbLcE/s320/muffin%20out.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq9jjtdomsk1k8prBWmiZrJDwF_ZyppJbz4rA_sBaqiC-WUK_Vzd1F7PiegRbEve3grVgyUSptRSzbLTWVM_d_t-gdRUAd7_Tc8v0vUZwkni6NYOp4wVB6mRQVwPn8eg240PpV5Nb3pFTPjkYhyphenhyphenp4GwC5phXpB0eMu04NUOITNMuzxlJu0MMZT46qKols/s951/muffin%20in.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="951" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq9jjtdomsk1k8prBWmiZrJDwF_ZyppJbz4rA_sBaqiC-WUK_Vzd1F7PiegRbEve3grVgyUSptRSzbLTWVM_d_t-gdRUAd7_Tc8v0vUZwkni6NYOp4wVB6mRQVwPn8eg240PpV5Nb3pFTPjkYhyphenhyphenp4GwC5phXpB0eMu04NUOITNMuzxlJu0MMZT46qKols/s320/muffin%20in.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpOiZaH9-66YEhPvy6YJIW07zL6JpukAOQJXSlDX84qoYYHrks0e4iLL7sZItvM_Aewwooz03sYFyVqtZfn21Gv_1ClnIjLcFKqhse8sUSBmRs4_PtEUCAEwtYv7cL7LQBy1nHJKxKi997NwIkBtCuf3uNOR-drSRRGe9875SzPo76LTwSnCdpGwyoz8/s1511/muffin%20boxes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="1511" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpOiZaH9-66YEhPvy6YJIW07zL6JpukAOQJXSlDX84qoYYHrks0e4iLL7sZItvM_Aewwooz03sYFyVqtZfn21Gv_1ClnIjLcFKqhse8sUSBmRs4_PtEUCAEwtYv7cL7LQBy1nHJKxKi997NwIkBtCuf3uNOR-drSRRGe9875SzPo76LTwSnCdpGwyoz8/w483-h303/muffin%20boxes.jpg" width="483" /></a></span></div></div><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Here are the templates, such a pretty shaped lid.

I then coloured it with markers, I didn't have enough reds, but I think it came out ok. I still wasn't sure what to do, so went looking for a paper background, nothing in my paper pads, then came across the perfect thing, a dp sheet of vegetables. It was printed it and I used it as a backing for the coloured image. The paper was added to the base card and the vegetables were 3D'd onto it, as was the sentiment.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">For the insert, I found more images in my files and added a lemon, cherry and olive to the glass, then added a shadow effect for the glass.

Looking through my files I came across an Iris folding pattern of a Dragon I had forgotten about, well I HAD to make it, didn't I?</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I used tissue paper, something I hadn't used before for iris folding, and it was much easier and flatter to use, in fact, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">finished, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">it's not much thicker than a 3D dimensional. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">First thing I did was to take the free pattern, <i>link below</i>, into my Silhouette and cut the dragon image and print the pattern. I followed the pattern with the tissue paper, then stencilled the grass hill and clouds. I didn't have an acrylic block to add the small tree stamp, so used the top of an embossing powder container, trouble was I couldn't see if it was straight. However, I liked the quirky angle, as I felt the dragon was fun and could take the quirky. Next, I attached the finished piece to the base card. Then I added wobbly eyes and drew the nostrils with a fine line pen, as per the pattern, thanks to Sarah, the pattern maker for the idea. </span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">So here is my fun </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Red Dragon of Wales. </span><span><em><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">Y Ddraig Goch</span></span></em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> Dragon pattern, others available - <a href="https://www.craftwithsarah.com/iris-folding/">Craft With Sarah</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">tissue paper - The Range</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">stencil - Funky fossil</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">tree stamp - Chocolate Baroque</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">ink - Distress Oxide, tumbled glass, mowed lawn, rustic wilderness</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">eyes - stash </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> <br /></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cyRYRs8zYQ7SHCUqhc5quIktf0yzLTpDRCQ0-n4JEygBV_o6ZhOGH_hTRjG9EQ4q4f52SMl8KZnq96RRg0H6lgl5Whfe-pUVwzHh1GXNQfzZEWFLxL44enGCYx0PXSLrFPoRlotmdi4ehXDDorJiyxellf_GPB_V1f-mEl9YF-zRb_Orj4p2f9mrhc8/s1247/Dragon.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1247" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cyRYRs8zYQ7SHCUqhc5quIktf0yzLTpDRCQ0-n4JEygBV_o6ZhOGH_hTRjG9EQ4q4f52SMl8KZnq96RRg0H6lgl5Whfe-pUVwzHh1GXNQfzZEWFLxL44enGCYx0PXSLrFPoRlotmdi4ehXDDorJiyxellf_GPB_V1f-mEl9YF-zRb_Orj4p2f9mrhc8/w522-h502/Dragon.jpg" width="522" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><div data-hveid="CCYQAQ" style="text-align: center;"><div aria-controls="_j4DXZcPHBN-LhbIPlPKquA0_50" aria-expanded="true" class="dnXCYb" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="JlqpRe"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd" style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span class="CSkcDe">A little information.</span></span></span></div><div class="JlqpRe"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd" style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span class="CSkcDe"> Why does Wales have a red dragon? <br /></span></span></span></i></div><div class="JlqpRe"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><img alt="The History of the Welsh Dragon - Symbol of Wales" data-ilt="1708621983010" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnp9fIwlW2vZ9m6E-V7xw3lSmlvKvibQ85aJ-WbkKx3w&s" style="margin-left: -20px; width: 311px;" /></span></span></i></div></div></div><div id="j4DXZcPHBN-LhbIPlPKquA0__18" style="text-align: center;"><div class="wDYxhc" data-md="61" style="clear: none;"><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CBoQAA" role="heading"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en" style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span class="hgKElc">It is considered that the Welsh kings of Aberffraw first adopted the dragon in the early fifth century in order to symbolise their power and authority, after the Romans withdrew from Britain.

I am posting a daffodil card! I have a friend who has been through a lot with her husband being ill, so I thought a sunny card is needed for her birthday. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Anyhow, I had the daffodil wreath in my files, I print and cut it out twice with my silhouette, glued it together and attached it to the base card. Next I stamped and die cut a sentiment. The main daffodils and leaves were then die cut, out of coloured card, and attached to the wreath. <br /></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">daffodil wreath - Creativefabrica</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">daffodil dies - Altenew Mag freebie at SCP<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">daffodil colour card - printed from Altenew bonus buy, at Simply Cards and Paper craft. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">sentiment die - Card Making Magic </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">sentiment stamp - Magazine freebie </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Silhouette Cameo</span><br /></div><div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPVx3I1W3xlJiDHgkVu4A9slKvPetNb77xrl6TJav54bNi6nWkYlf0rhFVWL6arNChOfoCw7iyXbvD0B-Q96wjoNWHrGi7OevTfwV1NFKFcYn5lRUJJxD_-45iAUxmCw6DmD-1UlW7TW9hmF45Xb3vA3feC2BD9dhIqk_mr-LiHfCDK_3LcHJXeLvxkg4/s1105/Daffodil%20birthday.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1105" data-original-width="1105" height="471" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPVx3I1W3xlJiDHgkVu4A9slKvPetNb77xrl6TJav54bNi6nWkYlf0rhFVWL6arNChOfoCw7iyXbvD0B-Q96wjoNWHrGi7OevTfwV1NFKFcYn5lRUJJxD_-45iAUxmCw6DmD-1UlW7TW9hmF45Xb3vA3feC2BD9dhIqk_mr-LiHfCDK_3LcHJXeLvxkg4/w471-h471/Daffodil%20birthday.jpg" width="471" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> insert - images Creativefabrica</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMqiHDwEVcr3Eo9AlwsrcxXTmi-a6ycmm3fyfnQnBL7XHcsuAF_EBY6-rXruhfPNl3rwbWh4ZdV9anq0f9AX82ASy73uBC3Cpn23ypO5EqD7hkn-6hNxf5rPJD9l_a9dT-aZ13cMq5EUIGfbwS_I0vxAVIS7RTpXme16syDxxzrcqWur39htbx9mCvmc/s1105/Daffodil%20birthday%20insert.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1105" data-original-width="1105" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMqiHDwEVcr3Eo9AlwsrcxXTmi-a6ycmm3fyfnQnBL7XHcsuAF_EBY6-rXruhfPNl3rwbWh4ZdV9anq0f9AX82ASy73uBC3Cpn23ypO5EqD7hkn-6hNxf5rPJD9l_a9dT-aZ13cMq5EUIGfbwS_I0vxAVIS7RTpXme16syDxxzrcqWur39htbx9mCvmc/w474-h474/Daffodil%20birthday%20insert.jpg" width="474" /></a></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I hope you've had more sun than us, thank goodness for the Daffodils.<br /></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div>Faith A at Daffodil Cardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805570302878762273noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-65058037522471645392024-02-18T08:00:00.110+00:002024-02-18T08:00:00.136+00:00Romance mid month WLSC<p> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for <a href="https://www.welovestamping.co.uk/">We Love Stamping</a>. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">This month, </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">we

Me! I actually made 7, and they all ended up in the bin. I had this vision of a rabbit amongst leaves and flowers, so I stamped and cut a mask, took the mask off after stamping and it was a mess!

It was a quick make, as I used it to give a few choccies to a neighbour's grandson, because she wouldn't accept anything for a cake she baked, and brought over for us, just because she likes to bake. I forgot to take a photo of the box filled, I added tissue paper and the choccies.

I stamped the heart and embossed in gold, I then stamped and embossed the sentiment. I thought it too plain, so embossed a piece of white card, then swiped a white ink pad over the embossing and heat embossed with clear glitter powder. It doesn't show, but it does have a gentle glitter effect. The heart was cut out when embossing, the stamped heart was placed behind the heart opening and attached to the card. It's a CAS card with lots of texture. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Heart stamp and combined die & embossing folder - Magazine freebie</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;

I've been missing in action, as I have had my 'puter not behaving itself. I haven't been able to see my files, they were all greyed out, unless I clicked on them. I couldn't do any searches, it made me feel I didn't want to be on it, I think it's the longest I have been off my 'puter for years. I did come on to see if I could repair it, I went online to see if there was anything I could do, but each time I saw something promising my 'puter looked the same as the example graphic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Then on Monday, I came on to try again and went looking for more ideas, I came across something to tell me to go into the Control Panel, BUT! My Control panel was missing, so after a bit of playing around I found it and what I was looking for. I noticed one of the panels wasn't the same as the example graphic, so changed it, and lo and behold I was back and everything was doing what it was supposed to. What a relief. I don't change things here, so I don't know how it happened, unless a Windows update changed things, I'll never know!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> Anyhow, you aren't here to listen to my grumbles, but I had to explain my absence from your blogs. Luckily, my DT cards had been scheduled. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Now onto my card, one of my Niece's granddaughter, has her 5th birthday coming up and this is what I did for her. I saw a card recently where an image was popped up from the card. I went into my Silhouette program and designed this shaped card around the digital image. I added a slight border to the card, so the image was framed. The sentiment was sized, and a shape designed to match the black border on the image. Both the image and sentiment were print and cut with 2 layers of each.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Next, I coloured the image face with DI's, but as I wanted brighter colours for the rest, I changed to markers. I then used a sparkle pen for the number and the sentiment letters. I decided to add a few crystal drops. All attached to the card and now ready to send with an insert, I forgot to take a piccie of. The finished card is 7 x 7inches.<br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">image - Bugaboo</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">inks - Distress Ink, tattered rose, tea dye, aged mahogany</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">markers - Spectrum Noir</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">crystal drops - Nuvo Crystal Drops</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">font - Chocokings<br /></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8oJzk0Bd9aonUF36YDcMJTOwP1GSJzR9oKHW_QLDlkgMpd46IZZhDEMya3CJzC39qgL5KnysWum5Y76GhnBawD3v16f_tUJXHEyGJNKdgRMYmql-eVIExVp9MfksGMu9v9r-fyozld3cQXV6p8veYch9WgW31zsda6hNkt6QZJ-LOyG2TP2iChr-KPKU/s1196/Layla%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1196" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8oJzk0Bd9aonUF36YDcMJTOwP1GSJzR9oKHW_QLDlkgMpd46IZZhDEMya3CJzC39qgL5KnysWum5Y76GhnBawD3v16f_tUJXHEyGJNKdgRMYmql-eVIExVp9MfksGMu9v9r-fyozld3cQXV6p8veYch9WgW31zsda6hNkt6QZJ-LOyG2TP2iChr-KPKU/w515-h484/Layla%205.jpg" width="515" /> </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">showing the sparkle on the 5 <br /></span></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FlXJ2wqkOdeq2uvoronF561skALad4MTmsn_yh3vtyi8u7cFU7qoW8DXNAzXZrWHZJkPxSOpyGY_4FyM0dOQd9oKTaigN0icL9BPJTHmdZrvkzQEHf_9JAVTmD-tevnbV3sP552tMsmp-9-PZHaDvp0Re-9jOhZUUj9NLSvGW3SKuoTkSw1dip0yNt4/s1196/Layla%205%20shine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1196" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FlXJ2wqkOdeq2uvoronF561skALad4MTmsn_yh3vtyi8u7cFU7qoW8DXNAzXZrWHZJkPxSOpyGY_4FyM0dOQd9oKTaigN0icL9BPJTHmdZrvkzQEHf_9JAVTmD-tevnbV3sP552tMsmp-9-PZHaDvp0Re-9jOhZUUj9NLSvGW3SKuoTkSw1dip0yNt4/w320-h301/Layla%205%20shine.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p>Faith A at Daffodil Cardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805570302878762273noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-40976576485349288612024-01-18T08:00:00.125+00:002024-01-18T08:00:00.134+00:00Something New WLSC<div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for <a href="https://www.welovestamping.co.uk/">We Love Stamping</a>. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">This month </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">we

I stamped and coloured it, and added a light blue "shadow" with DI's. Next I die cut it, it stood on my desk for a couple of weeks, as I just couldn't think of what to do with it. I didn't have any female birthdays to get my mojo going. Then a card of mine <a href="https://daffodil-faitha.blogspot.com/2023/12/cat-christmas-ccc.html">here</a>, got me into thinking, maybe it would work for the stamp.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I added a light gold splattering to the image, then cut a larger size die, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> which I coloured around the edge, next I added a gold edging to highlight the pin dot edge. I found some ribbon that blended with the bottom blossom, which I added to the attached larger die and the base card. The image was added with 3D pads. Everything looks a bit off in the photo, I think editing the card caused the "wonk". <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;

font-size: large;"> Hi Everyone, the cards today are for my brother</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">s who were steam train Firemen</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">and who still love their steam trains, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">and hubby's Great nephew, who is a Steam Train enthusiast. The actual stamp is from <a href="http://colourfulcardcreations.blogspot.com/">Pat</a>, who kindly sent me the stamp in different colours and embossing, after I complimented her on her fabulous use of the stamp. Thank you so much Pat.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">#3 brother had his 84th birthday on the 5th of this month, #1 brother, 88 in February and Nephew 21 in March, but I decided to do them all together and put them aside for later. However, it wasn't a good time for me to do them, with no mojo. I did the lined card twice and the brown card just once. I may strip the 2 apart and make different ones, but I am completely stripped of any design element in my head. Not only that, but I hope that I start getting some mojo soon, as the start of the year is busy with birthdays for me. I am happy to say that #3 brother liked his card. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Anyhow, the stamp is fabulous and having a different embossing on each was wonderful. I started with trying to match the GWR (Great Western Railway) colours, these were the nearest I could get in printing them. I looked online for some tickets and was able to find some that had Paddington on them, (South Wales trains, start there.) I copied and printed them and cut them out with Silhouette. I also saw the sentiment online, but changed it to suit these cards. The Great was changed to GWReat to incorporate the Company. They were printed and cut with a die and the double layer tickets were added to the cards. The brown card has gold peel off stickers added. I'm not sure if I did the stamp's justice, but the first one was much appreciated. Even the photographs aren't good, the cards look misshapen. OH! dear. I wanted to do Pat's generosity justice, not sure that I have. <br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">train stamp - </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/art-rubber-stamps-unmounted-c1/individual-unmounted-collage-stamps-c5/crafty-individuals-ci-404-chunky-steam-train-tag-art-rubber-stamp-87mm-x-68mm-p503"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Chunky Steam Train Tag</span></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">striped and plain </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">paper</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> - Creative Bloom Vintage patterned paper<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">brown embossed paper - Just So Scrappy </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-xVYjFrVgaRyp6DNvstBbLBwS-Dp-Ep2V1NPEkQ25bf9o6P9oqYJf-pQ-TvoU060IkuX6EgWTRgDtcnPSqL-KEuydxivdM-OKkv203UeO6RDJV1CRljGjC1VcNlwc3SHkeB0vA9S3yUVjmTH60dKRIW4Eb1YNMKnocBgvooGKfEK_VuhYeOmGVi6heO0/s1182/Train%20card%20brown.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="1182" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-xVYjFrVgaRyp6DNvstBbLBwS-Dp-Ep2V1NPEkQ25bf9o6P9oqYJf-pQ-TvoU060IkuX6EgWTRgDtcnPSqL-KEuydxivdM-OKkv203UeO6RDJV1CRljGjC1VcNlwc3SHkeB0vA9S3yUVjmTH60dKRIW4Eb1YNMKnocBgvooGKfEK_VuhYeOmGVi6heO0/w523-h381/Train%20card%20brown.jpg" width="523" /><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheeDLk4ZSZ-C2PERXbPMoqZ4g9piglXLVoKzFxMNMu0jVktdfvRNxB9dpAvkiBY7tLouGx-6b_vFXJmL3AyFzumiMSNs39hB3eyUK39jdmNgHycPudqcTOAYmB0hbNUszLx5pBK5OCVRZCEFE1b89kxphkCm51jP4SSYoPEkpX7gpUdxrg57iT3ZrDQF0/s1182/Train%20card%20black.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="1182" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheeDLk4ZSZ-C2PERXbPMoqZ4g9piglXLVoKzFxMNMu0jVktdfvRNxB9dpAvkiBY7tLouGx-6b_vFXJmL3AyFzumiMSNs39hB3eyUK39jdmNgHycPudqcTOAYmB0hbNUszLx5pBK5OCVRZCEFE1b89kxphkCm51jP4SSYoPEkpX7gpUdxrg57iT3ZrDQF0/w522-h380/Train%20card%20black.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Now the </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: trebuchet;"><u>Warning</u></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">If you live in the UK, pease be aware,</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> if you are buying Post Office stamps <u><b>online</b></u>.

It was on offer after all, how could I say no? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"> used a circle die cut to blend the centre, then </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">blended the background with DO's, not as I thought it would turn out, but I liked it, so continued. I stamped the main image in white, then embossed in white, I did it twice, so it stood out more. Then moved the stamp a little and stamped with black. The fireworks were stamped in gold and coloured gel pens added more strokes, but they didn't show as much as I wanted. Next, I layered the images onto black paper and attached to the A5 base card. I then decided to remove some ink in the fireworks with an alcohol cloth. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">A larger card than normal for me and lots of blending and embossing, not all good, but I like the overall card. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;

Then coloured both the clock with DI's and the ornaments on the Grandfather clock and pendulums in gold. Adding gold to the edge and "handle" of the digital clock. I found some digital paper in my files, which I thought suited, and in Photoshop, I added the joke text to the paper and printed it.

The background was inked to show the design. I then die cut and embossed an owl out of brown card, which has gold sparkles going through it, shame the photo didn't pick it up. I highlighted the face and front feathers with white, then inked over the owl to dim the bright white pen. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">I placed a piece of card behind the eyes and added a black gem to each eye. He was placed behind the oval and attached with his feet to the front layer. I then attached the embossed front layer to the background card, I pulled the ears out and added a 3D pad behind his head after attaching the body to the same card, next I raised the feathers on the chest. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">I stamped the sentiment, with the same ink that had been rubbed over the wood embossing and fussy cut it. Two feathers were also stamped and added to the sentiment. I didn't intend for this to be monochrome, but it worked out OK, I think.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">owl - Lou Collins Owl die, Magazine freebie<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">sentiment & feathers - Card Making Magic, magazine freebie</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">wood embossing folder - Crafters Companion <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">ink - Distress Ink Vintage Photo</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">white pen - Signo</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">oval die - Tonic</span></span> <br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXQyqw8RKdu1VPF0-LEOw9np0WMLG6fQZGRhg5k2VdfhBlXyYS_cmTGbdAitbgRZj_XcNCLNATwLAlY4aGRjQaY9wU2XYCc1qysJP4FpBpb9WOl1syzw2QrfXwHUSvZIdjimJTMW46IEVSeRaJFC3ncynVTy8wVWUwAZvb07HKt5sUKXdW1Nk080ybXU/s1092/Owl%20ruffles.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1092" height="477" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXQyqw8RKdu1VPF0-LEOw9np0WMLG6fQZGRhg5k2VdfhBlXyYS_cmTGbdAitbgRZj_XcNCLNATwLAlY4aGRjQaY9wU2XYCc1qysJP4FpBpb9WOl1syzw2QrfXwHUSvZIdjimJTMW46IEVSeRaJFC3ncynVTy8wVWUwAZvb07HKt5sUKXdW1Nk080ybXU/w477-h477/Owl%20ruffles.jpg" width="477" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Faith A at Daffodil Cardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805570302878762273noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985526742533043067.post-69915282680915781232024-01-01T07:00:00.021+00:002024-01-01T07:00:00.249+00:00Happy New Year<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Wishing you ALL a</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_Z_-ejI_RO84NeHavDb7WQ8lSGfKOwXg1E-M5SgrNEJvc9vSn-jvLOPFgKOaFQ_8nhRh_5TeaI0chvvehbNTPiwxfPVLju_6zxN7krM3CL1SLUmQvYbmTKWHq3a_w6GFVv8twR1OXYCoHHInfcefa2NRhs1eCGtEIAUMyPuCYQtYjO7O1AjFCePWYVU/s3507/New%20Year%20Emojis.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3507" data-original-width="2480" height="781" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_Z_-ejI_RO84NeHavDb7WQ8lSGfKOwXg1E-M5SgrNEJvc9vSn-jvLOPFgKOaFQ_8nhRh_5TeaI0chvvehbNTPiwxfPVLju_6zxN7krM3CL1SLUmQvYbmTKWHq3a_w6GFVv8twR1OXYCoHHInfcefa2NRhs1eCGtEIAUMyPuCYQtYjO7O1AjFCePWYVU/w552-h781/New%20Year%20Emojis.jpg" width="552" /></a></p><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you all for your continuing and encouraging support, it makes a lot of difference knowing you are there. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I intend to make more regular visits in this New Year, that's my resolution, I hope I don't break it!

(I can't find the photos or post of it) she has had a new great grandson, named Lorenzo, an Italian name, although, she says, he's from a very Welsh family. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">So out with my Silhouette, cutting the box the same as <a href="https://daffodil-faitha.blogspot.com/2022/12/bauble-and-box.html">this one</a>. I used green card and cut paper from a pad, years old. I cut and glued it all together, then realised I had put the paper on upside down! Thankfully, I had just one more piece of the same paper from the pad. All glued and the box was finished.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Two Welsh flags were printed, also requested, and die cut, so I could stick them together to be seen from any angle. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I filled the bauble with faux snow and hung, with fishing line, the flag, so it moved when it shook, with the snow. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Next, with my Silhouette, I cut assorted snowflakes from permanent vinyl in white and his name and the year in gold vinyl. I then closed the bauble and added the snowflakes, name, and year. I'm happy to say she was very pleased with it. </span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">green card - StellaWeds, Amazon</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;

So my foliage, is fruit too. I went with the sentiment and stamped a pudding first, then masked it and added the strip of foliage, next I decided to add more, by adding the fruit, and berries. They were all stamped in gold embossing powder, to go with the bright in the sentiment. Then coloured with DI's. A plain and simple card, that took me ages to think of. I've taken the photo, so you can see the shine and detail of the card.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">All stamps - Magazine freebies <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;

I took the measurements into Silhouette, but they can be just be cut and scored on a board. The next batch will be much better, as I now know my failings on these.

Today I can breathe whew! I've caught up with a lot of you already, I will try to get to you all more frequently now, well I hope to.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made Christmas cards without taking photos before they were given out, even bought duplicate presents and had to change them! I've even lost my big scissors, while wrapping presents! They have been given to someone and I don't know who, as the family were down, and they may be in theirs, so I asked them to pay me 10p each, in case they were in their parcels. Yep! I am superstitious about scissors as a gift, being cutting ties. I certainly don't want that. Talk about my brain in a muddle. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I took time out today, to do a blog post, and it's only scheduled one day ahead, as it's nearly evening when doing it. Cor! I am good.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;"> My card today is one I did for mass production, I did 40 of them. The piccies are of the process, yes I could have used more colour, but I needed them to be quick, so thought a little colour to highlight the Nativity scene would be enough. I always thought my digital work was quick, but this card has changed my mind, it only took two minutes, literally, to make each one. That is until I added the star, but even that, after I had die cut each one, it was quick. </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">OK! I haven't included choosing the stamps and inks and die cutting. </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know, you Gals, knew that all along, didn't you?<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyhow, here's the process, skip to the end if you don't want to see it made. </span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">nativity and star stamps - magazine freebies</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">sentiment stamp - Card Making Magic <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">die - so old I don't know who made it, but it's black. <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: large;">inks - Stazon & Papermania and Distress Oxide<br /></span></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

had a square piece of card in my bits box, so stamped along the centre with the
long garland, then stamped the other side, next I stamped the Christmas rose in each corner. The stamps were coloured with DI's. It was layered it onto red card, I stamped the
sentiment and a little holly, which was also layered with the red card. All then layered onto
the base square card. <br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Main foliage stamps - Magazine Freebies, Simply Cards & Papercraft</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;
