December new release at All Dressed Up Stamps

Evening -  The new releases for All Dressed Up Stamps have been showcased today by the fab Design Team. I got to play with this image called Sledging Pup.

I coloured the image with copics and used Lawn Fawn & My Favourite things dies to create the scene. The greeting is a stamp from My Favourite things and I thought it went really well with this Pup - Who is coloured grey like my fluffy Skye pup. I really hope we get some snow on a day when I am off work as I would love to see how she reacts to snow - I think she would love chasing snowballs around. 

I hope you will visit the All Dressed Up Stamps blog and All Dressed Up Facebook page and see all the other new releases and inspiration. 

Have a good weekend,

All Dressed Up Catch up!

Gosh I really am neglecting my blog of late so here is a quick catch up of my latest creations for All Dressed up stamps which you can get on Etsy

This one uses an image called Its Snowing and I used a background stamp from Stamping Bella and added a few die cut trees. I coloured it with Copics and use blender pen and Posca pen to add the snow effect.

 This one is a new release image called Woof Christmas and I coloured it using Zig markers.  I nearly always use Copics so I probably need to practice a bit more with other mediums.

This is also from the latest release and is called Christmas Skater - isnt she lovely. I teamed her with new papers from Honey Bee stamps.
I hope you like these and will pop over to the All dressed up blog and maybe join the challenges.

All Dressed Up Copic Challenge July 2019

It is the 1st July! It will soon be Christmas... (EEK -Should I have started making Christmas Cards??) So it does mean that there is a new challenge over at Copic UK and this months optional theme is to use An All Dressed Up Image... This is to celebrate the new Rubber stamps that have been released and are available from Crafteezee but these fabulous images are also available from the All Dressed Up Stamps store on Etsy (And there are also some freebies on the the All Dressed Up blog... #enabler!) 

Of course the theme is always an optional extra and we love to see any creation using copics so with all these mediums covered there really is no excuse to not join in for your chance to win a prize from our Faye.

I have played with this rubber stamp called Time to Shine. 
I used vellum over the base card and a star die cut with pink satin card. I covered the glass with glaze and sprinkled a little cosmic shimmer to give it a little sparkle.

 

I also made this card with the new rubber stamps and haven't shown this card yet. This image is called What to wear.

I used a greeting from Pebbles and added a couple of red gems to copy the gold dots. I also added some red ribbon.

Right that's all for now. I hope you get to join in the Copic challenge or the All dressed up blog challenge which is always an Anything goes theme as long as you use an All Dressed Up image.

Vicky's Kids

Hello -
today sees our latest release at All Dressed Up stamps. We are so lucky to have so much talent on the design team but Wendy who owns and draws this fab images is so generous that she even tackles our custom requests!! This image called Billy Goat Wendy created after I told her my sister had got some miniture goats and Id love a Goat image I could use for her upcoming birthday card!! Wendy produced this beauty!!!!
How many people can say they got the birthday card image drawn especially with them in mind??

I coloured the image with copics and added some texture fur to the Goat with prismacolour pencils. I die cut the image with a lawn fawn circle die and added a stamped greeting and some foam letters. Finally I added some die cut flowers and a gem.

These are my Sisters goats... they join the two sheep and have recently also been joined with two Donkeys!!

 So thats all from me - have a great weekend,
Liz (:(|)x

Autumn or Spring Girl?

Evening - Challenge #93 has begun at All Dressed Up blog and for this month I have coloured this image called Autumn Girl. 
But I thought she was also a perfect image for spring with her lovely scarf and denim skirt. I teamed her up with a denim frame I cut using a MyFfavourite Things scalloped die.  And then one of those rare things happen where I remembers something in my stash... these matching Thickers letters in the same animal print which is so "On trend" right now.

I hope you like her and will join in with our challenge.

Summer tortoises

Hello - 
Im back with the second new release images from  All dressed Up stamps from etsy. 
And this one is called Summer Tortoises  and they just screamed to me to be layered up for dimension so I printed them out several times and cut one layer away each time. There are four layers in total.

You can see all the design teams creations on the All Dressed Up Blog and on our Facebook page

The paper is from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow collection and I coloured the image with Copics. The greeting is from Pebbles and I added a little die cut flower and leaves from My Favourite things.

I made the card  on a hill fold to be a 3d stand up base and used a brad to hold the card together.
Hope you like them and will pop along to the All Dressed Up blog and maybe join in our challenges.

Denim City Girls

Hello -

Its the 15TH so... not only does that mean its PAYDAY!! but it is also the start of a new challenge at All Dressed Up. I coloured up this image called City Girls.
I coloured the image with copics and cut a frame using a Lawn Fawn die from Demin fabric - I glued this first to card to give it more sturidness (is that a word??) and help stop it fraying. The die cut through the fabric really well!  So much I decided to cut a flower also to match the flower in the girls hair and added a little red button and some red ribbon. Demin is just so practical on a city break!!

 Be lovely to see you join our challenge - only rule is you have to use an All Dressed Up image and they are gorgeous you will be spoilt for choice!!!

See you all soon -I'm off out for a run whilst the weather is nice and dry.
Have a great evening and week,

Liz (:(|)x

Love is in the air.

Afternoon -
I'm back again today as it is New Release day over at All Dressed Up Stamps and I got to play with this image called Wedding Balloon. The version of this in the shop has a veil on the bride also. But I thought it would make a perfect anniversary card as Ben proposed to me in a Hot Air Balloon (Despite him being afraid of heights!!) so Wendy was happy for me to use it without the veil. I would always recommend asking the designer / artist before you alter an image though as it could be a copyright issue.

The image was coloured with copics and I used a die to create the cloud edge and attached both pieces to acetate and glued blue stripped My Favourite things paper behind.

You can see the other new releases over at the All Dressed Up Challenge blog or at the All dressed up Facebook group.  And please share your creations with us! We love to see what everyone is making with these lovely images.

That's Amore for All Dressed Up

Have I ever told you how much I love the All Dressed Up images ? They are just fab and I really enjoy colouring them and creating with them so I consider myself very lucky to have all these beauties available to play with.
You could get your little crafty mitts on 3 of these images - that you get to choose and for free by playing along and entering our challenge. The winner of this prize is picked at random so everyone has an equal chance to win. You just need to join us and show us what you have made with these gorgeous digital stamps!

So for my new challenge card I have used a very aptly named image called Amore. 
I'm really loving black & white stripes at the mo with gold or silver metallic embellishments!

 I used a die from Lawn Fawn with gold mirri and cut some little flags from co-ordinating card. I added some letters from Doodlebug to spell out the name of the young lady I had made this card for and mounted it all on red mirri.
I hope you like her and we will see lots of you enter our new March challenge #91

Hugs for Mother's Day

Howdie all!
I though I should share with you my latest creation using a brand new image from All Dressed Up called Pretty Blooms.
This is a Mothers day image but I actually cut the greeting which says Love you Mummy away as I think my Mum would think I had gone made calling her Mummy - but it just shows how versatile this image is as it really could be for any type of card. I love her - I think it is a really cute image.

I coloured her with copics and used a die cut to cut out HUGS and layered some My Favourite things paper on the base card so it shows through the letters. The Happy Mothers Day across the top is a stamp from Lawn Fawn.

You can see all the other new release images and some amazing inspiration by the DT here at the ADU challenge blog  and here at the ADU facebook page
They really are lovely new images as always from our talented Wendy.

Enjoy your Friday evening folks,
