Silent Night

Hello everyone on this special day - Merry Christmas to everyone out there! I hope you were able to spent a wonderful Christmas Eve and will have magical Christmas days.

Of course I'll show you a Christmas themed card today. Although I am not that keen of classic Christmas images, I really love this one. This is the last project I'll show you here as I decided to step back from the team to the end of the year. I wish you all a Happy New Year!

For My Best Friend

Hello everyone hope you all had a fabulous weekend. To all those in the UK hope you enjoyed your long weekend.
I'm here today with my post for Noor Design UK & I'm here with another shabby chic kind of card.....not so much shabby though lol. This time pink.
I've also tried out another new flower die on the foamiran..........OMWord I love it.....
I've also used a new paper pad that is new to Noor Design UK, all links to items used are at the bottom of the post.
The pad is Craft & You 'Bird Song' which is so pretty, so soft & full of pinks, blues & greens....all soft & pastel. Of course I machine stitched around the edges as always.

The flowers I made myself from a new die by Whimsy Stamps & this die set was designed by our lovely crafty buddy Bev Rochester. Its fab, honestly its gonna be my favourite Foamiran die & so so easy. You can either have your Peony Roses closed in or I like mine with the leaves spaced out... 
I used pink & white foamiran for the flowers & used Pentel oil pastels to add colour.....
The leaves I used green & then added colour again with the same oil pastels.....leaves are not one colour. I used pink & white stamens in the centre.
You really should try out these dies they are awesome!!!
I used all 3 sizes on my flowers & did big, medium & small peony flowers. I also used the leaf die that came with it.
What is also fabulous is they make a wee little hole in the centre of each flower to put your stamens through.......I didnt think this would make much difference but seriously soooooo much easier.

I've been digging through my Scrapiniec & added bits of that, the bird is form my stash. I also cut a piece of lace off & scrunched it up to make another flower at the top next to the larger peony flower.
The Antique Bronze Leaf Swirl peeking out form the bottom flowers I gave the ivory frantage treatment to soften the bronze but I wiped some off before heating it so I still had some bronze peeking through.

Well thats it from me, thank you so much for stopping by.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Get well wishes.

Good morning.

Another Wednesday has come round which means I am here to share with you my inspiration project for Noor Design UK.

The theme of today's project changed during its coming together. I will tell you why but you have to promise to keep it a secret. I started to create my project around a tearjerker movie night but, and this is the secret, I ATE ALL THE POPCORN!!! So I changed the theme to get well wishes and I actually think it worked out better. Flowers last far longer than popcorn as I have proved.


The tissue holder and container are by Dutch Doobadoo. Tracy hasn't got these in stock at the moment but if you get in contact with her she will be able to order them for you. 


 I have used lots of gorgeous flowers to make up the bouquet. They are all linked below - just click on the photo and it will take you to the product. Behind the flowers is a Rusty Tin corrugated heart - these are fabulous.


The sentiment on the container is from the Little Darlings Vintage Affections collections and the sentiment on the box is by Whimsy Stamps. All these sentiments can be cut out using co-ordinating die.


At the back of the container and box I have added the Marianne Creatable die. The die with the sentiment on the container is from the same set. They are so useful as you can use them in so many ways.

Thank you so much for stopping by today but before I say goodbye, I would like to remind you of our Spring challenge which will last until the end of March. You can find the challenge here.

Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs Sharon. x
