She was coloured with copics & I also sprayed the image with Spray 'n' Shine.

Maui Princess

  Good Morning! Ann Marie here to share my inspiration card for Crafts and Me. For my card, I colored up a new Hannah Lynn digi image called "Maui Princess."  You can find her HERE in the store.  She is colored with copic markers and I added some "pearls" to her hair and fins using a Sharpie Opaque white marker. 

     Maui Princess was embellished with Frantage, chalks and glamour dust glitter. The papers are distressed with my Zutter distress tool and Vintage Photo distress ink. Here is a close up of the lovely Hannah Lynn image...

and one more...

     Thank you so much for stopping by. Don't forget ... there is a SALE  over at the CRAFTS AND ME STORE. Lots of bargains to be had but be quick as they are selling out fast.   Also you still have 3 weeks to join in with us over at the CRAFTS AND ME CHALLENGE - our theme is `Anything Goes`!  

Sheila.

Good morning all.

I hope you are all well.

I have a really bright card to share with you today using the gorgeous Sheila digital stamp and her adorable baby seal.

I have made an upright Z fold shaped card, these are really easy to make but very effective.

A front view of the card, isn`t this image really sweet and I went for hot pink and yellow colours.

A close up of the super cute image.

Hannah - Hannah Lynn

Hello all you lovely crafters out there how are you? Vicky here today with a little bit of inspiration for you. I have made a gift bag............... this was originally a longer standard gift bag without handles. I've chopped it in half (I can use the other half to make another bag) & added handles & of course put in a new bottom as I used the top half. See pic below........

This is the gift bag I made & I attached handles.

This is the back of the gift bag, plenty of room to write any messages  with a hanging tag.

The image I've used is 'Hannah' by Hannah Lynn.........I was happy Teresa got this one made into a digi image, I've loved this one since I saw it on Hannah Lynn's website ;0)

She is of course coloured with copics, colours used will be on my blog here.

I've used gorgeous papers, lace, flower & not forgetting fabulous Fran-Tage ;0) For more details on products used pop on over to my blog.

I have to say I really enjoyed making this & the image was absolutely brilliant to colour.

Teresa at Crafts & Me is currently having a make-over done on her shop so pop on over as she has LOTS of fabulous goodies on SALE..........go on then what you waiting for...........I said the word SALE!!!

Also new digi images have been released this week & they are yummy as always ;0)

Well thats it from me but dont forget our current challenge which runs for 4 weeks altogether & its an easy theme of 'Anything Goes', come along & join the fun ;0)

Tatty bye & thanks so much for your continued support

Hugs Vicky & the DT xxxxxx

It is my turn (Nic) to share some creations with you today using the fabulous digital stamps available at the Crafts and Me store.

 

For my first card I have used the very beautiful Atlantis Mermaid by Hannah Lynn.

 

Isn`t she a beauty, look at all that hair :D

and a close up.

 

My 2nd creation is an altered frame which I made for our current Crafts and Me challenge.

Our theme is Anything Goes and you still have 3 weeks to enter.

 

I used one of the fabulous Vintage Photo digital stamps, this one is called Dreaming.

 

I really love these photo stamps and if you print them on to photo paper, wow it just makes all the difference.

and another close up.

 

Thanks so much for looking.

Hi..  Ann Marie here...Sorry I do not have a new card to show you today.. as we posted on the challenge blog, many of us are going through a bit of a busy stretch with our own lives, so challenges will be merged (digi and rubbah) for the summer months, after which we will get back to our normal schedule..I will show you the latest challenge card I made with the new Vintage images from Crafts and Me. This gorgeous image is printed on the new Stamping Linen with an inkjet printer. The detail is fabulous.

My first card is one I just created for the last Crafts and Me "Vintage" Challenge that I hosted.  It features a new digital vintage photo image, "Rose"  that I printed on the Stamping Linen that Teresa will be stocking shortly.

A close up view.. notice how every detail prints so flawlessly on the linen.. the beautiful deep greens, pinks and reds are so vibrant and the "frame" in the photo gives the image a 3-D effect.

Both teams will be back next Wednesday with another fabulous challenge. I will be back next week with a new creation that will hopefully inspire you to join us.  Have a great day!

Hilary, For You and Bride and Groom.

Good morning all.

Today it is my turn (Nic) to share some cards with you using the fabulous digital stamps from the Crafts and Me store.

I have not two but three cards to share with you today.

For my first card, I have used the fabulous HILARY by Hannah Lynn.

Gorgeous isn`t she.

I made a booboo whilst colouring her face so i added the eyeshadow to hide it.

 

My 2nd card is using one the fabulous new vintage photo digital stamps. I am really enjoying using these stamps, they are so beautiful.

I have used FOR YOU for this card.

I made an easel card and I used the soft green colour on the trims of her dress as the inspiration for my colour way.

A close up of the beautiful image.

 

And for my final card, I have the one I made for out current Crafts and Me Challenge, our theme is Vintage and you still have time to join in.

For this card I used the romantic vintage photo digital stamp BRIDE & GROOM.

Another gorgeous vintage stamp and if you print them on to photo paper, they really do look fabulous and it brings the images to life.

 

And a close up for you.

 

Thanks so much for popping by and do pop on over to the Crafts and Me store and check out all the new goodies.

 

Hugs Nic.xx

 



Secret of Spring

Hello everyone, Karina here on Friday. Not on Wednesday as usual as I weren't able to create something in time because I had very long working days the last days. This project I show you today was in progress a while already, just finished today to have it ready to show you. I used 'Secret of Spring' by Janna Prosvirina.

I coloured her with Copics and added some Stickles to her wings.

I wish everyone a happy day!
Hugs, Karina

Vintage Beauty

  Hi, Ann Marie here (a little late - sorry) to show you two cards featuring the newest "vintage" digi images from Crafts and Me. I printed both of these out on Stamping Linen- Teresa will have this fabulous product in the store very soon!
  My first card features "For You". I just love these images... they are so versatile.. this one can be for a bride, sister, mother... just lovely.  I chose to make this card for my mother and so created the sentiment "Mother Love" from alphabet stamps.   The brass embellishments and cameo add an "antique" touch to it.

   My second card features "Emily".   I made this card for our last digi challenge, "Vintage and Shabby Chic".  The tint of antique rose and deep reds against the sepia background is just breathtaking. I definitely had some fun with the Frantage on this one!

and a close up:

 Thank you so much for stopping by... please visit the store and check out what's new.  You might want to stop by the challenge blog for some inspiration.  Have a great day! xxx Ann Marie

Star of Wonder and Emily.

Good morning all. I hope you are all enjoying a little warmer weather.

It is my (Nic) turn to share a couple of cards with you today and I really enjoyed making them both.

 

For my first card I have used the really pretty STAR OF WONDER by Hannah Lynn.

I went girly and pink for this card and lots of sparkle.

A close up, she is really pretty. I love her eyes.

 

My 2nd card is the one I made for our current Dynamite Digi girls week over at the CRAFTS AND ME CHALLENGE.Our theme is `Shabby Chic`. You still have time to join in with us too.

 

I have used one of the fabulous new PHOTO VINTAGE DIGITAL STAMPS  that Teresa now has in stock at the CRAFTS AND ME STORE. You can check them all out HERE.

 

For my card I used the beautiful EMILY.

I went all delicate and soft for this one and lots of white paint on everything.

 

I absolutely love these Vintage Photo stamps and I printed her onto photo card and wow she looks so stunning.,the colours are beautiful.

 

Thank you so much for looking and do go and check out all the latest NEW PRODUCTS .

Have a wonderful day.
