Iced Coffee - Cream & Sugar | Doodlebug

Hello there, today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by a super adorable cut file I notice in Silhouette Store and just had purchase it and do something with it. The fact it's a Doodlebug image is even better because I've never had any Doodlebug products so when I found out that some of their collections are now available to use with Silhouette, I jumped at the chance of finally getting my hands on Doodlebug designs.  


Cut a sheet of  A4 white card down to A2 US card blank landscape card, opened the Silhouette Software firstly cut a scalloped stitched panel using cricut mat and sheet of neenah card just slightly smaller than card blank, next cut Valentine's out of Crelando red card using Megan font purchased in the Silhouette Store. Placed the crelando red card on the cricut mat and cut out and then created a offset slightly smaller and cut that out of Paperchase Transfusion space dust vellum (currently unavailable to purchase)    


Next using the print and cut option I cut out the Iced Coffee - Cream and Coffee Doodlebug image, assemble the image using double sided foam tape for added dimension, added the rosy cheeks with zig glue pen, for that added shimmer I spray some sheer shimmer spray sparkle on a ceramic tile and small paintbrush and brushed the shimmer on the cream and the sugar cubes (this is a more thriftier version of wink of Stella and works so well). Run the scalloped stitched panel through my cuttlebug 
in using a diy embossing folder from a earlier post I created on my Blog. Applied piece of funky double to the back of the panel using double sided tape and adhere onto the A2 US card blank. 


Adhered the Valentine's sentiment using zig fine glue pen on the back of the sentiment then placed onto the vellum, add a little zig fine glue pen to the back of the vellum and adhered on card blank just to the right of the landscape card. Placed double sided tape to the back of the Iced Coffee image and adhered to the card blank just left of the sentiment. Using my diy stamping tool and the Winnie and Walter - The big, The bold and the Happy stamp set stamped happy and day on strip of neenah card using versa fine onyx black ink pad and cut down to fit and applied double sided foam tape to the back and place on above and below the valentine's sentiment. To finish added a few iridescent sequins and adhered them with micro glue dots.

I think this will start a whole new love affair with Doodlebug Designs and will be back purchasing those sweet cut files from the Silhouette Store very soon. Do you love Doodlebug Designs too?

This will be entered into these challenges -

Watercolouring | Poundland Watercolour Pens Review

Hello there, have you ever called in your discount store or thrift store and thought would that work for my crafting? well a few weeks back I was looking in my local Poundland store here in the UK and notice these double ended watercolour pens, I thought for a pound it was worth a try and was pleasantly surprised with the results. 


Started with A2 (US size) card blank, cut a piece of crawford and black cold press watercolour card down to fit slightly smaller than the card blank. Used a piece of hardboard, taped the watercolour card to the board using masking tape. Gave the card a little brush of water first and I scribbled three of the pens on ceramic tile.  


Watered the colours down with a little water and simply brushed the three colours across the watercolour card to create that artistic look. Dried with a heat tool as I'm not that patience to wait. Rub the panel with cornflour and with clear embossing ink I stamped "Hello my Friend" from the WW the big the bold and the happy stamp set using my diy stamping tool, Poured over some Wow gold embossing powder and heat set with heat tool.  


Sprayed a little sheer shimmer spray by imagine crafts to had that shimmer effect. cut a piece of fun foam down to fit the back of the watercolour card adhered with double sided tape and later adhering the panel to the card blank, pressing firmly as it's watercolour card and needs that extra pressure to adhere. Added a few clear AB sequins to finished which I adhered with micro glue dots.
