Vilda Stamps- Gnomes Kissing

Hi, Elizabeth here! Hope you are having a nice Wednesday. I'm going to show you a card I made with this super cute Vilda Stamp called Gnomes Kissing:

 This time I decided to go for some Fall colours and embellishments:

 I used the lovely Cloudberries sheet from Landstoken,
 another gorgeous newbie in the LLC store. I used Jute fabric to create layers and a Paper Lace Heart Doily to fit the love theme:) The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ticket.

 

 The big flower is a Prima Parchment Petals "Vintage", the white ones are Mulberry Paper Poppies (they also come in red and pink), and I used some red Jute Twine around the Prima flower.

I coloured the stamp with Copics, If you want the colours you can find them on my blog.

Hope you like it! You can find all the things mentioned and more wonderful new stuff in The Live & Love Craft Store!

Thanks for stopping by,

 please check back tomorrow for Elin's beautiful Vilda- project.

Hugs, 

Elizabeth 

We're going wild this week!

...not in the sense that we'll present cards and other projects made with leopard or zebra patterned paper, nor are you actually going to see any wild animals here... 

What you'll see are projects featuring stamps from Vilda Stamps of Sweden:

...and as you probably already guessed "Vilda" is the Swedish word for "wild". :-)

Vilda Stamps was recently added to the Live & Love Crafts's product portfolio, and what I like about this brand is its versatility. Vilda Stamps produces vintage-steampunk accessory stamps, beautiful sentiment stamps, background and collage stamps, as well as charming character stamps.
This week the DT will show you examples of a little bit of everything. 

For today Tina has got two projects to share with us. Usually Tina combines her weekly inspiration project for LLC with her DT card for the EAC (Everybody Art Challenge), but today we're lucky enough to have Tina sharing two projects with us.

Here's an ATC (Artist Trading Card):

Tina used the stamp "Gear Corner with Clocks" and stamped directly onto the image and papers.

The second project is a regular sized card:

Also here Tina used the same stamp to stamp onto the image and papers.

The sentiment stamp "Alles liebe" is also from Vilda Stamps (thought it was about time I'd get some sentiment stamps for my German speaking customers).

Other materials used:
Images: "Little Sweeties" /Grandma's Attic, Pion Design

Papers: Pion Design
Embellishments: Vintage Pearl Brad, Creative Charms
Tea Garden Trim, Maya Road
Tea Party Doily, Dovecraft
Gardenia Flower, Papercraft Scandinavia
Mini Round Metallic Brads, Reprint

Thanks for visiting today. 

Please stop by tomorrow to check out Elizabeth's project with Vilda Stamps.

Hugs from
Tina & Sandy

Santa's Charm

Hi Everyone,

Hope you've had a good weekend.
98 days left to Christmas...how are you all getting on with your Christmas cards? 

I started as early as in January this year, but I still have a long way to go...
Here's a quick one though that I made today:

 The papers as well as the image are all from Inkido.
I used: Santa's Christmas,  Forever Santa 6x6 No3, and Forever Santa 6x6 No1.
I also used some jute fabric; love the texture, especially on Christmas and Autumn cards. 

As you can see; a whole lot of distressing going on. :-) I used both the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser Tool and my fingers! The edges were inked with Walnut Stain and Tea Dye. The charm, Santa's Sled, was tied on with a piece of the Christmas Red Jute Twine.

Quick card; quick post. :-D
See ya' again tomorrow when we start with a new Inspirational Theme here on the blog.
Without revealing too much, I can tell you it's going to be WILD!

Hugz,
Sandy

Aleisha - CHARMing Girl

Good Morning Friends! :) 

Karita here today with a new card to share with you :)
We have a charm week going on here at the Blog and now it´s my turn to charm you ;)

Although I believe it`s this beautiful Aleisha girl who´s going to charm you all today ;) 

On my card I used "Bouquet of Flowers" 6x6 paper from Pion Design's "For Mother" collection. 

All paper edges are inked with Distress Ink  - Walnut Stain and also I`ve used my sewing machine.

Gorgeous Garnish Applique from Melissa Frances in the upper left corner :)

Have you already seen all the new beautiful flowers from Kort&Godt at the Live & Love Crafts Store?!?!?!?
On my card I`ve used white Chrysanthemums from Kort & Godt.  

And a few pins: cream Vintage Pearl Pin and Vintage Trinket Crystal Pin from Maya Road. Some white Jute Ribbon  - which is by the way one of my favourite product these days :) And lace "Camille".

And last but not least: This week's charm!! 

There´s an absolutely magnificent collection of different kinds of charms at the store, and I do hope you all take your time and take a good look at them - I´ll bet you´ll find something you want to have to yourself ;)

I had some difficulties choosing a charm for this card.. Finally I chose this beautiful Vintage Key Bronze, perfect choice-  if I may say so :)

Right, that´s all from me now.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and take care everyone :)

Hugs, Karita
