We have a new challenge, and a special Guest Designer, over at the Snippets Playground today.
I'd been sorting out more stuff in the craft room and came across a load of fairly recently bought sheets of Penny Black Stickeroos so I fished out a supply of toning snippets of card and stuck a lot of the Stickeroos onto backing snippets of card, ready to properly trim down when there was just a little bit of time in which to play.
I found some spare time the other day, in between the two storms - one named Dudley - what a cheek! I know he races round like a little tornado at times but that doesn't give the weather people permission to name a storm after him!
Anyhow, this is the first Stickeroo card I've made for ages and it's also a snippets card:
I used:
- DL white card blank, side opening
- white card, die cut using a new set of dies made by Creative Craft Products from their Slimline and DL Nestabilities range, called 'DL Stitched Straight Edge' die set - I used the largest die in the set
- decided which image I wanted to use from a Penny Black Stickeroos set called 'Gentle Blooms' - it was already stuck onto a snippet of 'Certainly Celery' card so I just trimmed it down to leave very narrow borders of card showing
- then I could choose a suitably sized sentiment which I stamped onto the stitched layer using Memento 'Rich Cocoa' ink and of course the Misti. The sentiment is by Penny Black from their ''special thoughts' set of stamps
- then glued the stitched panel onto the card front and added the image panel - both using Collall All Purpose glue which allows some 'wiggle room'
- finally, added a single 'raindrop' gem as dew to the left hand flower - you need to look closely but it's there alright! I adore these beautiful raindrops from 'Lucy's Little Things' and just love the finishing touch they add to the right cards
And of course, you can find the new Snippets Playground and our Guest Designer (more fun and games I bet!) by clicking on the box below to be redirected.
Oh my gosh! Your stickeroos/snippets card is fabulous Di! I do have something similar from PB that is Christmas themed. I need to pull them out (if I can find them!). :) Beautiful card Di. xx
ReplyDeleteWow - that’s a GORGEOUS card. Those stickeroos are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI thought you HAD given permission to the Met Office to use Dudley’s name for the storm!!!!
I’ve got the crumpets ready to toast for your Sunday brekkie up in the Playground treehouse! Xxxx
Oh my goodness what a lovely card Di - this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteStay safe

Didn't realise that Stickeroos were still available - lovely card you've made with it using your new set of DL dies. I do wish the DL cards/dies et al out there were of a standard size and proportion because marrying them up has turned into a bit of a minefield 🙃
ReplyDeleteSo true about the DL card size Val.I had to trim a sliver off the bottom of the newly bought Craft UK card for the die to have an even narrow border. X
DeleteWow. A blast from the past for me. My favorite craft shop for workshops stocked hoards of these. I didn't even know what they were until she showed me. But I did buy some and loved using them. Your lovely card reminded me and now I am wondering whether I might find some hidden treasures if I hunt! I always like daisies so this card really appeals to me. Kate xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, love the daisies and the lovely sentiment Di.

Beautiful card Di! Hope you survived both Dudley and Eunice unscathed.xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Di.

Dudley was here! But his 'friend' Eunice was a lot worse than Dudley. What a mess around our house...but thank God: no bad damages. We have to clean up now.

A gorgeous card Di and a lovely sentiment too x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Di love the layout and the Stickeroo image used the stitched edges and sentiment completes your wonderful card xx
ReplyDeleteLovely slimline, the Stickeroo is so pretty and speaks about Spring! Dudley is the most lovely tornado, for sure :D
ReplyDeleteHugs and cuddles for him
This is beautiful, I have never seen Stickeroo's before, they make such a gorgeous card, can't wait to see more!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love this slim line card, Di ! I'm searching for Stickeroos now. I'v not seen them either. :-D
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Di, I hadn't realised Stickeroos were still on the go. That little raindrop is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteDudley did call by here but was reasonably well behaved, Franklin on the other hand definitely seems to be a bit more lively!!!
How pretty this is! Those PB images are the best and you made it into a beautiful card. Love the slimline design!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Di!! Love the clever design and wonderful images. Stay safe! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Di! I love that sticker it's so pretty, and the celery cs is a perfect border
ReplyDeleteWhat a great DL card you made from the Stickeroo Di and a very elegant stamped sentiment to go with it. x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty xoxo
ReplyDeleteA great way to showcase that lovely stickeroo and the sentiment is super x
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is fantastic card.
