Rose Garden

linda3 Comments

I created this card with one of the images in a clear stamp set from the Cuddly Buddly Crafts Spring Collection called Rose Garden that I watercoloured with twinkling H2Os and Winsor & Newton watercolour paints.

Here are the links to all the supplies I used on this card. I love the stamping linen paper; i sponged around the edges with green distress inks and then lightly sanded to reveal the texture.

Spring Bunnies

linda1 Comment

this is another card I designed for Cuddly Buddly using one of the stamps from the new spring release; this adorable image is another in the Country Church set.

Cuddly Buddly Country Church Bunnies.Linda

i used twinkling H2Os and Winsor & Newton watercolour paints to paint the sky, grass and bunnies. the flowers were die cut with marianne design flower set; i lightly sanded off the edges of the paper and attached them to a marianne design branch forest. the papers are brand new studio light #11 and also available at the cuddly buddly shop.

i never knew, until my daughter rescued two bunnies, just how intelligent, animated and sweet they are; but they do require maintenance and time, a consideration that is, sadly, often not part of a decision to obtain a bunny, especially at easter. chocolate bunnies are preferred, and welcome, yum, unless there is a strong commitment to follow through with a long range plan to raise a pet one. make mine chocolate!

Cuddly Buddly Spring Collection

linda7 Comments

i designed this card for Cuddly Buddly using a set from the new release of spring clear stamps that has something for everyone, from cute to floral.

i initially stamped the Rose Collage in green chalk ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder four times to layer it, water coloured with twinkling H2Os and used the same twinks to create my background and die the ribbon. we used to have hybrid tea roses this colour before i had to give up gardening due to my RA, so i love colouring florals as much as i love colouring cute images.

Peony Collage

linda5 Comments

i designed this card for Cuddly Buddly using the one of the new Clear Stamp Sets – Peony Collage CBS0015. i love the look of collage cards but i struggle with the design, so i love that i just have to stamp and colour – i water coloured with twinkling H2Os and the butterflies were stamped twice, cut and popped.

i created the tag using the smaller peony image and sentiment from the same set.

Criss Cross Christmas Card

for this Cuddly Buddly DT card, i used images from the cuddly buddly winter wonderland clear set; i love that the scene makes for a quick card. i stamped the deer on watercolour paper, coloured with distress inks, fussy cut and attached to the front. for the inside pull out, i used one of the two sentiments included in the set and lightly sponged with distress ink.

Cuddly Buddly Christmas Bear

linda4 Comments

for this Cuddly Buddly DT card, i used this adorable bear from the Time for Giving Clear Stamp set, which was so much fun to colour with twinkling H2Os. i made this card more masculine because it’s going to a man, but it would work equally well in more feminine colours too.

Time for Giving.Linda

i used the sentiment from the Toby Tumble’s Snowy Day clear stamp set and the holly leaves were die cut from the Leane Creatief Holly Leaves & Pine Branches die set.

Matching Tag:
i used the sentiment from the Toby Tumble & Robins Sentiment and the same holly leaves die.

for this Cuddly Buddly DT card, i used one of the cute images from the new clear stamp set – Merry Little Christmas CBS0007.

cuddly buddly merry little christmas

this adorable image was a lot of fun watercolouring with my twinkling H2Os. the sentiment is stamped with brilliance ink and heat embossed and the leane creatief embossing folder border snow was sanded to expose the white core. i used a couple of dies, all listed below with links to the cuddly buddly store: two poinsettias were cut from white card stock and one from vellum that i sponged with distress ink; the tiny solid snowflake was cut from marianne design ‘snow paper’ and attached to the bow; the other snowflake was used on the two corners. of course i had to add stickles to the stars on her hat, sentiment and ruffle trim. thanks for popping by and be sure to visit the Cuddly Buddly Blog for some very inspiring tutorials for holiday creations and check out the Cuddly Buddly facebook page for more projects and news.

Cuddly Buddly Robin

as you can see, i’m quickly adding to my stash of christmas cards. for this DT card, i’ve used this oh so cute robin from the Toby Tumble & Robins clear stamp set, just one of many adorable Cuddly Buddly christmas stamp sets. i watercoloured the image with twinkling H2Os, stamped and cut the leaves out, heat embossed them for shine and attached them back on to the card. the sentiment is in the same set and stamped in green. i added stickles to the hat, some snow and attached it to the green layer embossed with the Leane Creatief Embossing Folder – Background Snowflakes; it embosses beautifully.
