Lilly's Craft Corner

Today I'm sharing another of my MDF plaques that I made a while back. I made 2 very similar plaques at the same time (just switching up the colours), and the matching plaque to this one can be found on my blog here . The blue lightly patterned paper is from Hunkydory's Garden Treasures Adorable Scorable matt-tastic card selection and the matching plain blue card is from Hunkydory's Adorable Scorable matt-tastic card pack. I have also used some white and kraft card, along with some white crochet lace. The centre die used is Sue Wilson's Bermuda die and the sentiment is done by hand. The flowers have been cut using Hunkydory's Fabulous Flowers Moonstone dies and the butterfly is from the Beautiful Butterflies Moonstone dies. The foliage has been cut using Sue Wilson's olive branches dies. Some Nuvo drops were added to finish and I threaded twine through the 2 holes to create the hanging element. I would like to enter this one into the following c...

It's time for the start of this week's challenge over at Crafty Catz and our theme is anything goes with the option of Christmas in May. I know Christmas might seem a way off (especially with the nice weather we've been having) but it's always a good idea to get ahead and start on those Christmas cards early! Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor this week and they kindly gave the team some images to work with. I've chosen to use the lovely Reindeer Trio digi stamp for this card. I've kept the card really simple as there is so much going on in the image that it doesn't need much doing to it. I printed the image onto For The Love Of Stamps white colour me! card (this is ideal for use with alcohol pens as it's super smooth, making it easy to blend the colours together) and coloured it in using Spectrum Noir alcohol pens, adding some dotty details to look like parts were paper-pieced. I stuck the image straight onto the card blank using foam pads. I'...

For this card I have used silhouette stamps for the first time! I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive as I'm so used to colouring in my stamped images, but I actually had so much fun working with these stamps to create this card. The stamps I have used are the For The Love Of Stamps Let's Go Fly a Kite stamp set. The background was created using Distress Inks (dusty concord, weathered wood and peacock feathers) and I splattered some water over the top. I have stamped using black Versafine for a really clear and crisp image. The cardstock used is For The Love Of Stamps white ink me! card and For The Love Of Stamps midnight black superior stamping card for the mat. The finished size is 5"x5".

Today I'm sharing something a little bit different - a box of handmade earrings! I created the earrings by stamping a butterfly from the For The Love Of Stamps Butterfly Wishes stamp set twice onto Shrinkies clear shrink plastic (I used black StazOn to stamp with). I coloured in the butterflies (on the reverse) and cut them out, punching a hole just above the image and cutting round that to create a little loop. I then baked them in the oven so they shrunk down. Once cooled, I added some earring findings. I created the box out of Adorable Scorable matt-tastic card, adding another piece of card into the box with 2 holes punched in for the earrings to hang from. I die-cut the aperture into the box lid using one of the dies from Hunkydory's Beautiful Butterflies die set and added acetate behind. I will be entering this one into the following challenges: Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #81 anything goes Creatalicious #138 anything goes with optional add a sen...

It's Friday again which means we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Catz. This week our theme is anything goes with the optional twist to add flowers. All Dressed Up is our sponsor this week and they have kindly given us some gorgeous images to work with - I've chosen to use My Little Flower Girl. I have coloured with Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I actually printed onto the wrong type of card (I printed onto super smooth card instead of my pencil card that has more of a "tooth" to it!) but I do quite like the soft effect of the colouring. The papers I have used are from Hunkydory's Garden Treasures 8"x8" paper pad and I have added some pink Centura Pearl for the mats. I've also used some Distress Inks (dusty concord and spun sugar) on the edges of the topper, dotty piece and flowers. All the flowers are handmade, using dies to cut them out. I have finished with some Nuvo crystal drops. The finished card is 6"x6". ...

Today I'm sharing a card made using the new For The Love Of Stamps Born To Ballet stamps. I have created a diorama card to give the effect that the ballerinas are on a stage.
