Swedish House Crafts 'Tuesday Craft Smorgasboard' Pion 'Theodore & Bella' Using Gummiapan Dies & Roxstamp

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I'm here today with my Guest DT creation for Swedish House Crafts 
'Tuesday Crafts Smorgasboard'
 I have made a card using Pion 'Theodore & Bella' design papers, Gummiapan dies, and Roxstamp. The 'Theodore & Bella' collection contains lots of gorgeous papers, images, sentiments and more!
Links to the  products used can be found at the end of my post.


For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5.
I cut out the design papers and matted them onto the base.


I have used the 2nd largest Roxstamps pierced round nesting die to cut out the image.
I stamped around the outside of the image with the Gummiapan 
Angelpost stamp, and sprinkled a little shabby white embossing enamel around the inside.
I die cut the largest pierced nesting die with papers from the collection, and adhered the image onto it using 2mm foam tape, and adhered a length of 2mm white pearl bead string around the outside.


I cut out the sentiment, and stamped around the edges with the Angelpost stamp. I cut a slightly larger piece of design paper, and matted the sentiment onto it using 2mm foam tape.
I cut around 2 sets of the balloon images and used 2mm foam tape to adhere on top of the other, adding some glamour dust to one of the balloons.
A tiny heart die comes with the Roxstamps pierced round nesting dies. 
I cut 2 out and adhered them to the top left corners of the card.


A close look at the flower arrangement.
I used cream card to die cut both Gummiapan pointy twig leaves, and leaves, and placed them between the flowers.
The white paper flowers are from Swedish House Crafts, and the other roses are from my stash!


Inside the card is decorated with the design papers and a smaller GoKreate large frame frilly #5 die cut.

I hope you like my card?
Below are the links to the products that I have used.

Happy crafting!

London Tilda & Phone Booth - Challenge #148 At LHOSM

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I hope you are well.
I'm here with my DT creation for our month long challenge at 
Our challenge theme is ANYTHING GOES
Our wonderful sponsor is Noor Design UK

I have made a shaped card.

I used London Tilda & Phone Booth 3D from the Stamp & Cutz 2016 Collection.
The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock, and  fussy cut around.
I have coloured the image with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils.


For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5 and Maja Design 'Sofiero' and 'Shades of Sofiero' design  papers.
Other dies used are; Cheery Lynn English tea party doily, French pastry doily & Sofia's heart doily. Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tags & bride bow. Prima forest leaves.
I have inked the die cuts with Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink.

I have used lots of gorgeous embellishments on my card from The Ribbon Girl online store.

A close look at the flower arrangements and phone booth.
The phone booth is cut out using Maja Shades of Sofiero design paper, and once assembled with glue I dabbed over it with snow cap acrylic paint dabber.


A close look at London Tilda.
I stamped the image onto Ivory cardstock and cut it out using a CartUs oval die. I stamped around the outside of the oval with IndigoBlu stamps.
I surrounded the inside of the oval with shabby white embossing enamel, and used 2mm foam tape to adhere it to a Joy Crafts Noor! oval that I'd cut out using 'Sofiero' paper.
Once I'd cut around the coloured image, I adhered it on top of the stamped image with 2mm foam tape. (The image that I'd previously stamped onto the oval was my guide line as I wanted the raindrops to be behind the coloured image that I'd cut around)
I added glamour dust to the raindrops and adhered pink Rainbow pearls around the image.
Tilda's cheeks are dotted with a white gelly roll pen.


Inside the card is decorated with 'Sofiero' papers and a blank to write a message.

We would love you to come and join in with our month long challenge that ends on July 21st.
