Counting rhymes

 

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing  a DT creation that I have created for Gecko Galz.

I wanted to create something other than a card, so I created a vintage pocket using the Tim Holtz stitched pocket die along with kraft cardstock and a vintage book page. 

Next, I distressed the edges of the pocket with vintage photo distress ink. 

I have used these wonderful images from the counting rhymes digital college sheet from Gecko Galz to fill up the pockets. 

I have adhered a sticker label on to the front of the pocket. 

To finish, I adhered a wooden number counter. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, see you on the next post!

Vintage picture wheels

 

Hi lovelies, hope you are keeping well! Today I am sharing some vintage slides and picture wheels that I have created.

I have used these darling images from Taylor made cards 4 u ... so cute! 

Here I have used kraft cardstock along with the Tim Holtz picture wheel die and Sam Poole's photo slide die. 

I have created some pockets for the picture wheels using kraft cardstock also.

I have decorated both pockets and picture wheels using vintage book pages, number cards and my own designer postage stamps.  

Thanks so much for visiting the Fairy Den!

Good evening lovelies, a bit of a late post tonight! as I have just finished working on these vintage journal pages.  I have had these beautiful photo booth photos for some time now, so decided to use them to create my pages. 

This wonderful old sheet music paper and coffee & script  paper is from My Porch Prints and the vintage shabby newspaper  is from 'Vintage by me' over on Etsy. I also added a vintage flash card and grunge labels.

Finally I adhered a Tim Holtz film strip die cut and some fussy cut butterflies. Thanks so much for stopping by the Fairy Den, see you on the next post!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Tonight I am sharing a Halloween card that I have created for the monthly challenge over at Never More Designs.

Olde Time Father Christmas

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage Christmas card that I created yesterday. I just adore this beautiful Olde Time Father Christmas image. 

I have used a variety of papers; the wood texture paper is from my own stash, the vintage bingo card is from Pinterest and the music score sheet is from the Sepia Ephemera paper set. 

I started with a blank pre-scored Kraft card; next, I layered the wood texture and music score sheet paper. I distressed the edges with Black Soot DI. I then tore some corrugated card and adhered it to the left side of the card. 

Here I have adhered two banners of music score paper using a banner metal die behind the main image. 

To finish my card, I have used a Tattered Lace Poinsettia die along with the music score sheet paper and some Tim Holtz Holiday greens cut from kraft cardstock. Everything has been distressed with Black Soot DI and white acrylic paint. Thanks so much for stopping by, hugs Zowie xx

Thankful - Artsystamper challenge

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for Artsystamper. There's a new challenge over on their blog and the lucky winner will receive a wonderful prize from their Etsy Shop. 

I have created a layout using the beautiful Autumn Gifts paper kit and the Autumn Gifts Stamp set. 

I have also used this wonderful fall theme photo as a focal point on my layout. 

I have created lots of layers using the coordinating paper from the set and distressed the edges using Walnut Stain DI. Next, I used a Tim Holtz mixed media brick die, which I adhered to the last layer of paper. To complete my layout, I used a TH ruler stamp along with two of the beautiful Pumpkin digital stamps from the Artsystamper kit and some cheese cloth. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate your visit! Hugs, Zowie xx 

A shabby chic Christmas

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! As you probably know by now, I love anything that is vintage and shabby chic! This year I have bought a new Christmas tree and lots of vintage ornaments; there will be a separate post on that soon, so would love for you to stop by and visit! 

Todays Christmas tag is very shabbylicious! I wanted to use a light pink and blue colour scheme, so this is what I created. These beautiful papers are from NostalgieGrafikland

Once I had chosen my paper to compliment this lovely vintage image, I took a strip of corrugated cardboard, which I previously painted with white acrylic paint.

I adhered all layers of paper onto a piece of blank white card stock using double sided tape and inked all edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 

I created a Winter flower collage using a Tattered Lace Poinsettia die and Holly and Fern dies from the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens.

I have used Viva Decor 3D snow on the edges of the Poinsettia and snowflake die cuts.  Picket Fence Distress paint has been applied to random parts of the tag to give a snowy effect. Lastly I added a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment which I adhered behind the main image. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit! See you on the next post, 
hugs Zowie xx

O' Holy night

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! 

Today I am sharing a Christmas tag that I have made for my Daughters boyfriends' parents. My Daughter asked me to make this especially for them as this is her first year of sharing the Christmas festivities with them. I really hope they like it! 

Here I have used this beautiful blue patterned paper from Lemon Craft and the music sheet paper is from my own craft stash. I have also used this stunning Christmas Madonna image from Etsy; it is truly beautiful! and it is part of a set of four images. 

I took a blank piece of white card stock measuring 5 1/4" x 3 1/4" and covered the tag with the blue patterned paper. I have also used a layer of music sheet paper which measures slightly smaller to leave about 1/4" border. All edges have been distressed using the edge of my scissors and then inked with Ground Espresso distress oxide. 

I love Tim Holtz products! here I have used a selection of the Holiday greens thinlit dies and  a Tattered Lace poinsettia die which I edged lightly with Ground Espresso distress oxide. 

I then adhered all layers of paper using double sided tape and printed out the sentiment 

'O Holy night' and adhered that to the right hand 

side, behind the main image. 

Finally I layered my poinsettia die cuts using Anita's Tacky glue and added some white sparkle stamens to the centre. I then adhered it on top of the Holiday Greens. 

Here is a close up of this beautiful Madonna image in all it's wonderful glory!
