Stamps used were a freebie in Cardmaking and papercraft and I believe are by Spellbinders but don't hold me to that.
The dies are All Occasions and Marianne Designs.

 

Our sponsors this week are:

Jiggery Makery My name is Adele, I graduated in 2013 with a degree in Interior Design and I am currently a carer for my Grandma but in my spare time I love designing digital stamps. They are mostly inspired by 1940/50s Pin-ups and can be quite sassy. My favorite Pin Up artist is Gil Elvgren, whose work is just stunning. I have been both a crafter and an artist alternately all my life but finally feel I have been able to achieve a great balance as a digital stamp designer. Jiggery Makery is my brand, my creative expression and a way to share what I love.

Little early I know but I have been itching to use it.

 

Beautiful butterflies

Good morning all.
First time using this die from Spellbinders and I love it.
It is S5-159 Gold lables 4 and cutand embosses beautifully in the big shot.
Oh I may have forgotten to mention that my amazing hubster bought me the Teal big shot starter kit from Ebay along with a tonne ( ok maybe not quite a tonne) of ribbon.
Coloured this amazing image by Kate Powell who has very kindly given her permission for me to use it for my sisters card.
I am hoping Kate will evtually provide them as Rubber or Digi stamps as her work is just amazing.
I have coloured her using Spectrum noir pencils from Crafters Companion.

Mums birthday card

Good morning everyone.
Just wanted to show you the card I made for my Mums birthday in which I am entering into the Allsorts challenge this week.
It was a huge hit thankfully
Had to wait until today as her birthday was yesterday :)
Dies used are MDCR1205 Butterfly by Marianne, S4-462 labels 39 by Spellbinders and Banner Pennants by Whimsy.
The embossing folder is by Sizzix and came with the Bigshot Teal starter kit it is called Dotted Lattice.
I am so in love with this embossing folder and the Marianne butterfly at the moment. It is just stunning and cuts beautifully.
I have used a lot of glitter and pearls for this card as my mum is as mad about sparkle and bling as I am.
Every little dot on the embossing folder is glittered as are the flowers and butterfly.
Shame it can't all be seen in the picture as the effect is just amazing when the light captuers it.

Banner Birthday

Morning all.
I hope your day is as beautiful as mine.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the neghbours are drilling.
Ok so I hope you don't have the drilling.
Thumping headache for the last week doesn't help.
Still, onwards and upwards, at least i'm still breathing lol
Todays card has been created for the Allsorts challenge add a banner or flag.
Wouldn't you believe it, just when I need them I can't find my little banner die.
Absolutely typical but that wasn't going to stop me.
So instead of my pretty banner die I have cut triangles for the banner.
I had a pretty banner paper for the background and was able to cut the triangles from the excess to match.
It wasn't until I had finished the card that I noticed a huge error.
The paper is upside down lol
Oh well, I think it just adds character and at least I know it's different.
Would be boring if I was normal *grin*
The stamp is by Helz Cuppleditch and coloured with my new Spectrum Noir pencils.
Colours used are 007,028, 036, 041, 050, 061, 064, 065, 074, 087, 089 and 100 
They are so beautiful to colour with and easy to blend.
I don't have the blending solution or paper stumps so I just used my fingers.
White organza ribbon coloured with cool aqua promarker and a matching handmade bow.
Die used for the party time sentiment is Marianne Design LR 0141 finished off withe some bling and flatback pearls.

Birthday Tutu

 Good afternoon.

I hope everyone is have a good long week-end.

I have another card created for the Allsorts birthday challenge.

Yes I need myself some Tattered Lace dies lol

They are so expensive. Well on my budget anyway.

The tut has been created using teabag folding and feathers.

Turned out quite well even if I do say so myself.

The crystal flowers were originally pink but I have

altered the colours to match using a 'honeycomb' promarker.

Embossing and dies are from Marianne Designs and the stamp is

from my stash. Not sure of the maker as there is no name on the sheet.

Mimi's Many loves - Penny Black

Good morning and hello.

It's finally stopped raining long enough for me to send the hubster out to dig over the front borders.

Planted some geraniums in the troughs under the window and the borders 

underneath are going to have lilac slate put down.

It's getting impossible for me to weed etc now and I can't keep making hubby do it all so slate chips are going down and we'll get some yummy pots and have potted plants instead to make it easier.

Any way enough of that.

My card today is another created for Penny Black and more.

I have used another stamp from the Mimi's many loves set.

Coloured using my Promarkers. 

I can't for the life of me find my colouring pencils.

This time she is in the garden.

Dies used are Timm Holtz tattered florals and 

Mariane Design LR0141 :)
