New Design Team and Angel Annie...

We have started to assemble a small, but perfectly formed, design team for our Delectable stamps and I can announce our first member, the amazingly talented Beverly Rochester. Just pop over to Bev's blog and take a look at her amazing work. Welcome to the team Bev ♥♥♥

Just posted this card to my own blog and thought I would show it here too. It uses one of my favourite stamps: Angel Annie.


This is a large A5 card yet Angel Annie fits it perfectly. I coloured Annie in using Copic markers.

The design team will expand and we will let you know as and when we choose our new Delectable team members (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A DESIGN TEAM CALL). I am sure they will bring great inspiration.

Sitting Pretty

Hi Folks Louise here,
I made this card for a challenge but thought you guys would like to see it on this blogg too. I wanted to get the effect of Annie's feet really dangling, I think by cropping the card like this I've managed to achieve it.

The papers and embellies are from We R Memory Keepers and the Acrylic stamp is Annie Sitting Pretty from Charmed Delectable Stamps (where else!).

I've been a bit poorly this week so I haven't got much done at all but I really did enjoy making this card this afternoon.

Purrfect Annie & Kitty

I think this must be one of the most popular Annie stamps, I made the following card yesterday without even thinking about the fact that the last card on here used the same image Ooops! Ah well, you can never get too much of Annie with her Kitty.

You know how you always base your cards around a particular element - well I do anyway. I really wanted to use the blue ribbon on my card so everything else was built around that, from the layout to the paper colour. I don't use blue much so I searched through my stash and discovered this BG Oh Baby Boy paper. I think it worked perfectly and the flowers from the pattern came in handy to cut out for the perfect matching embellishment too. The flat backed pearls are from The K&Co Blue Awning range.

Have lovely day,

Louise xx

Candy Winner....

Boy that was difficult!! I had to make the draw several times as people either didn't follow the blog, didn't mention the candy on their blog, had more than one entry in the list, or didn't even have a blog! Each times I had to sit and count the comment - next time I'll get one of those link gadgets that put a number in front of each entry LOL

But eventually I got our winner, and here she is (drum roll please):

That is BettyBoop67

Congratulations to you. You have a week to get your address details to me, if I haven't heard from you within that time we will draw again.

Commiserations to everyone else, but watch out, there may be more candy soon :-)

Purrfect Annie

Hi all, hope you are enjoying a lovely lazy Sunday. How are you getting on with your new Delectable stamps? We have enjoyed seeing some of your amazing creations on our blog rounds, and Annie looks perfect in each and every one. It certainly seems as though you are enjoying this little lady as much as we are.

Although the accessory stamps were made with the Annie sitting pretty and Elegant Annie in mind, experiment with some of the other stamps too. The tree stump stamp for example is large enough to seat the larger Purrfect Annie with her Kitty, as shown here.

So experimenting with the stamps can often bring great results.

Products I used on this card:
Stamps: Delectable Purrfect Annie with Kitty and Delectable Tree Stump
Paper: Basic Grey Porcelain and ATC Plain Cardstock
Various: K&Co Que Sera Sera Notecard; Dovecraft flower brad, Basic Grey brads, Bazzill Flower, Paper roses, K&Co Rub-Ons. Pine branches cut with McGill punch. Images were coloured in with Copic markers.


It's way past the launch now so we need to get the candy sent out. Pop back this evening when I will pick a winner.

TFL and have a lovely day ♥♥

Delectable stamps are in the house....

...and they have been for a few days now. All pre-orders have been sent out, and hopefully received, and individual stamps are now available to purchase. The blog candy winner will be draw in a day or two so stand by for that.

Here is a card I made for our sister blog "Dottie's World" (for our popular digi stamps), to introduce the Delectable range to our customers there (if you are not already here ♥). It uses the "Irresistible Annie" stamp.

This stamp is good for so many occasions: Birthday (as here), Get Well, Sorry, Friendship, Just Because... the list goes on. I added a little shading at the bottom of the figure (after taking the picture), which emphasises the unique "looking down" element of this stamp. Papers and elements are K&Co. Lace ribbon bow - all is available at Charmed Cards & Crafts. Annie was coloured in with Copic markers and the frame cut on my Silhouette.

TFL
