Meet the Dragons ........ Penny

PENNY

Meet Penny, Rupert's partner in Love, a quiet shy Dragon she was a typical girl before they met, loving pretty things and meeting with her friends, then she met her True Love and they settled down happily together, but before that happened she was a working Dragon

Penny worked at the local hospital as a Nurse, a very popular one with her kind bedside manner and friendly personality, she stayed in this job until all the baby dragons came along.

Her favorite pastime is Crafting, she likes nothing better than to lock herself away to create cards, and scrapbook layouts and lots lots more goodies :D

The paper under the gingham is from the aged journal - Angels collection available in the store.

Of course there are many materials around the home that can be used to make the flower so why not have a look around and see what you can come up with!

A card with a Difference

Hi everyone, I thought I would show you how to make a slightly different card this week .

Here is the finished card.

 

So to make this card with a difference I took 2 8x8 cards , papers printed from the Stamping Dragon Designs Store , I used Primary Colours  (red) and Coffee Cream Card Papers (green), some mirri card, card flowers and the image is Lucy Lion .

 First I took the 2 8x8 cards and cut the front of them to create the pocket shape opening.

Then I stuck the 2 cards together.

Next I cut the mirri card to fit the flaps on the front of the card.

 I then stuck them to the front of the card, and then I stuck the flaps down at the bottom to creat a pocket.



On the red piece of card I printed a sentiment , and then cut some of the green paper to fit.

This then is trimmed to fit inside the pocket , and then I decorated the front with the flowers and the image.

Hope this gives you some inspiration.

If you like the image and papers, why not pop over to the Stamping Dragon Designs  store and have a browse.

Or come over and join our fun friendly Stamping Dragon Facebook Group .

Hope to see you soon

Pick of the week

Hi Folks it's Tania here with my second pick of the week.

Where do the weeks keep going
Christmas is just around the corner
31 days and counting

The image that I have used has come from the fabulous Stamping Dragon Designs Shop .

There are some wonderful images that you can purchase and once you buy one you will be hooked.

For my second image I have chosen

a fun image
Cat on fence

I have coloured my image with promarkers( I love ginger cats, so most cats get coloured to look like my large ginger tom, Monty). To finish the image I used cloud masks and dusted over with my brushes to make my sky  I then decoupaged the cat on the fence.The image topper is mounted on black card then on orange paper mounted on a brown card blank. I used a footprint punch to  cut out the footprints and finished off with some Kitty ribbon from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated.
The image could be used for a male or female card for any occasion.

Make sure you pop on over to the Shop and have a browse , there is a great selection of  Images available for you to choose from.

We also have a Stamping Dragon Facebook Group , where we have lots of fun , inspiration for you , mini challenges and lots , lots more, so why not come over and see us.

Stamping Dragon Design Inspiration

Morning everyone..

Im here this morning with a wee bit of inspiration.

For today I've made a wee christmas card.

The funny thing is.. I have used the usual christmas papers or even a christmas image..

Anyway, let me show you..

The papers Ive used are called "Gentle Waves" and the image is called "Woodland Path"
Click on the name to be taken directly to the papers/image or click HERE to go to the STORE..

All I did for this card was mat & layer the papers and the image. The strips across are washi tape.
I then cut the little banners (using a die) and added the letters and the little snow flake. (both from my stach) And that was it.

I made this card quite a while ago, when the summer papers was on the table but as I like to be ahead of myself I challenged myself to make a christmas card.

Anyway I hope you like what Ive made.
Thank you for stopping by & for any any comments left behind.
