It is Love Time,,,,,,And St Valentine 's Day is coming soon......so I asked to Karen to work with my "Children in The Victorian Age CS " and she did this sweetie and adorable card to inspired you:

NiceCrane Designs have some beautiful imags. Here's a victorian girl that I made into a Valentine Card. Look how many images is offered for one low price.

Alison Bomber was working also with this collection to create this so stunning and incredible VintageTriptych , a true Play of Art,,,,,to inspire you. It is must-have to watch, Please get a complete description and the how-to tutorial on her blog HERE.

I'm sharing a triptych with you today; let me start with a quick front and back, and then I'll show you some details. I managed to capture some late evening sun (up in my usual tree), so there are some photos which really glow nicely with winter gold, though you have to deal with the occasional shadow of a branch!

CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM MINI CALENDAR

Vintage Custom Calendar by Wenche

I have made a small wall calendar on a sheet of cardboard a'la back of sketchpad. The finished calendar measures 11 * 16cm, and hung up with Tim Holtz clip. hand motif from NiceCrane Designs New Year Post Cards Vol II Due to the cardboard with white gesso, decorated with patterns, lace napkin, swirl, flowers, pearls and charms. Halvperleswirlen bottom was originally completely white, but I thought it was a little pale in the lower region, so replacing some white pearls with pink. Blom Terra intakes are charms of metal bought on ebay. Put pearls over * eye * on charm tendon and in some of the flowers as decorations. they cute mini calendars are available from Scrapomainia . Could also be seen scrapping.no.

Oriental Cards & New Fantasy And Kids Collection

Posted by Nicecrane Designs Wednesday, January 16, 2013 comments (3)

Do you love Oriental Cards?

I was inspired by Asian Theme ,,,and all over I must tell you Jenny from Pushing The Right Buttons,,,is now on my DT,,,and she did this so stunning Asian Card working with my:"Japanese Gardens CS" .You can't miss this Play of Art. Welcome on board my friend.

Something oldish byJenny

Welcome friends old and new alike. So glad you could join me again. Hope you got something from yesterday's post about my adventures with embossing folders (HERE for those who may have missed it). Oh, and a quick heads up... I've found another use for them! but that will be part of my next post:) Now, as I mentioned previously this month is 'birthday heavy' here so it feels like all I've been doing is creating cards. And then I discovered it is one of my non-crafty friend's 40th birthday next week!

I was thrilled recently to receive an email from Ignacio from Nicecrane Designs offering me a set of images from his wonderful selection. It was hard to make a choice but Japanese Gardens just called to me. You can see one of these images in the top left hand corner.

It needed distressing a little with Walnut Stain and embossing (a Tim Holtz mini) and was mounted on some card I covered with Stampendous Jeweled Gold embossing powder re-coloured with Oregano alcohol ink. The red background card was also distressed and stamped in black and gold (covered with gold mica powder) with wooden stamps my OH brought back from a business trip to Japan (lucky me:))

The script panel was a happy moment for me - rubbing Antique Linen into the middle of white cardstock, Vintage Photo onto the outer third, Pumice Stone over the whole lot and Walnut Stain, I finished by spritzing it with some Walnut Stain ink mist. The script is a Hero Arts background one.
The flower is covered in Morris Dance gilding flakes (Indigo Blu) and the leaves are real!!! Oh yes, if you take freshly fallen leaves and cover them completely in Glue n Seal they remain reasonably flexible and don't dry out! These were salvaged back in October 2012.

And here is my New Japanese Gardens Version

Dolly Dingle, Strawberry Pocket , Vintage Tag & Adorable Kittens

Posted by Nicecrane Designs Monday, January 14, 2013 comments (1)

Do you love Dolly Dingle Dolls?

They are so sweetie, so vintage,,,, so nostalgic,,,,,, This time Lori Hairston was working with my
Dolly Dingle Collections,,,,,and she did this absolutely stunning

Dolly Dingle Strawbewerry Pocket

I have always loved Dolly Dingle! This Dolly Dingle's hat reminded me of a strawberry - so you can see where that lead me.

I used the strawberry file from The Cutting Cafe as my pattern. I cut 2 strawberries from red felt and only one of the leaf pattern from green. Before I sewed the sides together, I created the little strawberry seeds from french knots. One of my friends has been talking about getting a disappearing tracing pencil like the one I have. I picked it up for her, along with some scissors and ticking remnants. She's going to be surprised!

The sweet Dolly Dingle is from Nicecrane Designs. Ignacio has ten different Dolly Dingle sets.

As you know,,,,,I love Fairies,,,so I asked to Lisa Minckler to work with my new "Funny Fairies" Digi and she did this stunning and gorgeus creations,,,,,,,,,,You are rock Lisa:

What happens when you get all your new crafty stuff out and put it right in front of you to make a card? You about lose your mind, that's what. Too too much cool stuff and not that having stuff is a problem, it's just resisting the urge to throw it ALL on the card together. After pacing and picking, eliminating and scratching head, I decided to use these groovy pom poms that Mom gave me for Christmas. A "fairly" CAS card using the beautiful image from Nicecrane Designs

This is another set of fairies from Nicecrane Designs as well and I've combined them with a quirky game of Scrabble Bingo. Thank you Mitra for the coolest jar of buttons and Scrabble pieces ever! This combo might make a cute Valentine card or a new baby card.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs n' Happy Stamping...
