It's Meljen New Release Day

Hi all this is my second posting of the day another scheduled one so hope blogger is still being good.

Today I have some projects for you to see using some of the new released images from Meljen Designs all of which are available to purchase from Whimsy Stamps.

Here is my DT projects

This first card is an A4 pre scored card which is the long version fold, I decided to use my graphics programme and the PNG format images to put Santa and three of his reindeer together. I have coloured them all with Copics then used chalk for the sky.  I mounted the image onto red card then adhered that to gold mirror card, I then stamped the sentiment.

My second project was to use the Father Christmas circle sentiment and the Gingerbread Men on my stash of 3 x 3 cards.  I used different shaped Nesties to cut them out and mount them, I then stamped a sentiment and added gems to each card. 

Once I finished the cards I decided to make a box to put them in so I can give it as a gift, I used red card, green ribbon, white ric rac ribbon, flat flowers and a Meljen Holly image (freebie).  I didn't want to decorate it too much as I am not sure which member of the family I will be giving this to. 

I really had so much fun making this selection I hope you also get some enjoyment from seeing them.

Hugs to all.

Card and Gift Set

Hi all it's Meljen New Release day and there are some gorgeous images now available at 

Whimsy Stamps.

 I chose to show you the Corn Dolly image coloured with Copics and here she is.

My idea when I first coloured her was to create something totally different to this but what was in my head did not compute into real life, but I am happy with the finished article.  I used K&Co papers, SU Choc Chip card, flowers, gems and lace.  I cut the image out and mounted with silicone glue for a 3d look.

I was not well enough to participate in the Whimsy November Blog Hop but yesterday I felt creative so this little set below I made using a new image by Chrissy Armstrong and now available at 

Whimsy Stamps.

My first picture shows the set together , which is an 8"x8" card and Chest of Drawers, the image I have used for both items is Little Christmas Angel.

I apologise for the quality of my photos but the weather here is awful and it is quite dark but I hope you will be able to see the detail of this set ok.

The card I used is an 8x8 white card base the papers are My Minds Eye (I think) the card I used for mounting the paper on is SU Razzleberry, I added lace, ribbon, sentiment, flowers, icicle and some Cosmic Shimmer Silver Twinkles.  The image I enlarged and cut out I coloured her with Copics.

The Chest of Drawers I followed a tutorial at SCS Here

I used a mixture of Bazzill and SU card stock, once again I cut the image out, this one is smaller than the one on the card.

I used Tim Holtz fasteners for the handles, the drawers can be filled with sweets or little gifts.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my little projects for today and to see the images that I have used then please pop over to Whimsy Stamps.

Big Hugs see you all later.
