Hello!

   

Howdie!  Today this sweet little image called Love From Sugar is blowing some lovely little heart shaped kises in my Derwent Inktense pencil colors!  Sugar has been invited to be showcased over at the wonderfully popular Passionate Paper Creations fb page by the lovely Rhea the host of the page.

As I mentioned earlier, I colored her with my Derwent Inktense Pencils and some water then placed some hair lines finely throughout the hair again with my .005 black Pigma Micron pen for some texture.  I used my Noor window die, cut the top woodlike frame off the top of the die and glued it to the side of the window section so this gives it more of a gate like feel!  She's walking through a sunny field of grass blowing some love!

I'ts always a special day at the Noor U.S. blog!  Tammy Louise sharing a Copic colored project made with a beautiful Noor stamp called Silhouette Poppy.  I'm a vibrant and deep pigment artist so the more color the better!  Just look at how beautiful these little corner dies make the image rectangles pop and the gorgeous border die of flowers that cut and emboss that I colored with white pigment ink to make the design pop.  

 As well as the beautiful stamp, I've discovered a great deal of versatile dies that would add dimension and beauty to any project!  The flourish, those lovely little corners which are part of a bigger die set and the roses!  rows and rows of roses!

Christmas Remembered!!

Hello friends and family!  Today I'm sharing a project that's special to my heart! Back in the 70's we would use old red shiny ornaments or the ones we hand make in school, pop the corn and use the traditional star on a REAL tree then get out the spray can of snow and either coat it with snow on the ends of every branch or get that little box of specially folded silver tinsel and coat the tree with hanging shine!  

Now a days, people are using pre-lit trees and buying bulbs that are shaped like our favorite Disney characters and then the topper is some organza covered Santa face, or a light up Teddy bear depending on our collection genre!  I miss the old fashioned way of doing things, especially when mom and dad are on their way to Michigan from the sunshine state to be with us for the holiday!  

INGREDIENTS:

Noor 6002/0145

Noor 6002/0136

The base of the card is made with my Darling Square die design, as are the fluttery little flowers on vines and the sentiment circle!  Then I've decided that Noor had some very vintage looking little bits and bobs dies for the corners, bulbs and that great filmstrip die!  This is after all the type of photo op you don't want to miss!

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

                                                  An Advent Reflection
                                                           Fr. Brian Cavanaugh, TOR
   "During Advent opportunities for works of charity abound calling out for Christians from every side: a sack of food for a needy family, money dropped in a Salvation Army kettle, a donation to an Indian school, a toy for ‘Toys-for-Tots,’ etc. Unfortunately, these works of charity so easily can assuage the Christian conscience, while doing nothing to being about a solution to the root causes of the problem.

   "Works of justice, on he other hand, follow the road less traveled of Advent’s hope to pursue solutions for difficult problems. Hope comes through works of justice rather than simply performing works of charity."

Noor Wedding place setting

Good Day Noor Die lovers! I'm sharing new things I've discovered about these fabby dies!  My first born is getting married very soon and I'll need to be designing wedding things very soon, so I'll be trying out more with these gorgeous dies!

 This die is the first Noor design I simply had to have!  I simply fell in love with the appearance of lattice with the swirl of elegant brackets at each end.  This is the Mid French Lily Item Number: 60020134! 

INGREDIENTS:

Noor Joy Crafts die Mid French Lily Item Number: 60020134! 
Love Letter Seals Sentiment from Whimsy Stamps
Michele Roos Spring Blossom 3 &4 designs
Recollections glitter paper
Spellbinder square Fleur DeLis Square die

I scored the stock paper first and placed the die just under the score line so that the top of the die remained attached.  As you can see above, there are several layers to this table place.  The second cut was from a beautiful design paper and popped it up onto the base.  Lastly I cut another die cut from some terrific glitter paper and separated the edges from the lattice section and popped them up in place to create some terrific dimension!

MEDIUMS:

Ranger Distress Ink Peeled Paint

Momento Black

 There's no limit to this die!  I'ts beauty is surpassed only by it's versatility!

EMBELLISHMENTS:
Prima Crystals
Recollections crystals
Greenbriar International wedding favors

These incredible Noor die designs have quickly warmed my heart.    They are so versatile and elegant, it would be selfish to use them only in the background of a larger project!

Noor, Tilda and Dexter!

Good day friends and thanks for joining me!   Were you aware that not only can these corners glitter up and embellish around your focal point, but they can make a wonderful dimension behind as well?

INGREDIENTS:

                                                                 Mid French Lilly Die
                                                                   French Lily Corner 

Tilda and Dexter Magnolia stamp

Magnolia design paper

 Nestled behind the focal image, I created a backdrop of the Mid French Lilly Die with nine cuts of the edge of this die. 

 MEDIUMS:

Ranger Distress Ink

Peeled Paint on die cuts

Stazon black ink

   I popped the focal image up with pop dots and then placed four of the French Lily Corner on the pre- cut rectangle that's holding my image.

A bit of color sponged on the embossed section makes it pop! Then a bit of glitter to shine!

You can see the layers under the focal image here the best!  An adorable way to create a die design even with the smaller dies! 

EMBELLISHMENTS:

Offray Ribbon

Butterflies,Pins and clay frame from Angelica's Etsy store The Little Scrap Shop

Snow Tex liquid
