All things New WLSC

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Mervi  

All Things New
 
I haven't bought any stamps in a while, but these are unused, so new? I found some "happy paper" and went with the colours of that. 
 
The stamps were stamped onto a square die-cut white card and coloured to match the paper. I found a tiny birthday greeting in older stamps, unused, and stamped and coloured the background, then cut it to fit onto the bottle. I hope it works, and my niece won't mind the tiny hand cut sentiment.  Next, the sentiment was stamped to fit inside the square, and I applied ink around the edge.
 
The banner was stamped and die-cut, again with an older, unused stamp and die, then coloured. I attached the paper to a piece of matching plain paper, which was glued to the base card. The square and banner were attached with 3D pads to the patterned paper. I then added 3D glaze to the bottle, the glass, and the stars, which has given them a lovely shine.

Add a Tag TMR

 My DT card today is for 


It is my #3 brother's 86th birthday, so I made this card for him. I die cut the man 3 times and layered him, then looked for some paper. I found this striped paper, and embossed it with a happy birthday embossing folding, then layered onto a striped grey paper, and added to the base layer. The words, I didn't think, stood out enough so I rubbed an ink pad over them. 

The die cut man was added onto a line within the ef words. The tag was printed and cut with the Silhouette and layered 3 times, I then inked the edge. I added a safety pin, also cut out with my Silhouette. Then attached to the front of the card.  I hope my brother likes it.

A New Year WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping

All Things New
 
My new things are, stamps I bought in the middle part of last year, which I haven't used. I stamped the clock, hands, and the sentiment onto black card. I always use a black card for the New Year, I don't know why. Anyhow, I decided on this black and gold paper. It was used to back the black card. I then used it to cut stars out of a newish die, not used. 
 
stamps - Polkadoddles - Stamp Soup, Rainbows
paper - Art Deco, label lost

Beary Happy New Year CCC

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
  
 
I wish you all a Happy New Year.
 
My first card of the year, a bear that I have had since 2015, certainly not new, but the first time I have used him. I printed him out to suit a 6 x 6 card and die cut him out. I then coloured him. I thought of Winter colours, so went with that. He was then layered onto die cut pearlised card layers, matching the ink colours, the greens look different but are a great match in real life.
 
As for the sentiment, I found it in my sentiment box pre stamped, I thought it suited, so went with it. After all, we enjoy having fun in the snow, don't we? OK! We used to, hahaha. I added a touch of glue to the sentiment corners, and the snowflakes, and sprinkled glitter onto it. And of course, he had to have eyes and a 3D glaze nose.
