New Release ~ Lucy Loo Morning Coffee

WooHoo! Bonnie here today. It's Monday morning and that means that there is a new TEW image released at The East Wind and featured on our Facebook page. This one is called Lucy Loo Morning Coffee and as soon as I saw her I knew I had to play with this image. Molly (my cat) and I love our morning coffee. Molly loves it because while I am sipping and waking up she gets lots of attention and cuddles. I love it because ...it's coffee! Mmmm...that first cup in my favourite mug.

I coloured Lucy Loo and her feline friend with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut her leaving a narrow white border. She was then matted with a narrow black border for contrast and to tie the image in with the background colour. Foam tape was applied to the back of the image to create dimension and shadow.

The background is a simple piece of black cardstock scored and cut to create a center step card. There are many tutorials on how to create this simple fold. The one I used is here. The coffee papers were purchased from  Poppy Dreamz  and were sized and cut to fit the three upper sections of the card. They were also edged with Black Soot Distress ink.

The sentiment which comes from Create With TLC seemed tailor made for this image. I printed it on white cardstock, edged it with Black Soot Distress ink an mounted it on foam tape. Two coffee cup brads with cheesecloth :steam" were fastened to either side. The final touch was to add the letter beads beside Lucy Loo...Mmmm because that's the noise I make with my first sip :)

Thanks for visiting today. Be sure to check out our Facebook group for the creations using this image by some of my talented teamies. We'd love to see your creations with Lucy Loo Morning Coffee, too.

Choose to shine

I wanted to participate showcase of Bling challenge, 

so I made this decorative piece with Lucy Loo 'Rose'  

Background is just coloured by colour pencils

meant to have some effect of Sparkly crystal gemstones. 

and I used 3Doodler to make a sentiment " Choose to Shine " then I put some Mod Podge and stick some glitters ^^ 

I know It is not easiest to read ^^;;

I think once we choose to shine, we will shine.

Thank you. ^^

Just joined one challenge Just for fun ^^

Crafting Vicky - Lucy Loo style I love you

Hello everyone it's Friday Woohooo!  It's Crafting Vicky here with you and I'm sharing the card that I made with the new release of last Friday.  It was a Lucy Loo!  You know by now how much I adore those!!!

This one is called Lucy Loo style I love you.

So I had fun!

The paper that I used for this card is from DCWV - Premium paper pack.  I used my Label 11 die from Spellbinder.  I added a few bling and that's it!

Here's a closer look at the fab digi that I colored with my copics.  I used a great sentiment that I thought represented her very well.  I edged the sentiment with some Picked raspberry distress ink.

Isn't she just fabulous?! You really should check out the new digis!!!

Have a great crafting day!!!

Lucy Loo Magnified Star and Dimensional Star Tutorial

Hi there, it's Donna with a simple tutorial for you today.  Here's a tag I created with the new Lucy Loo 'Magnified Star' which debuted  Monday, June 9th.  I love the Steampunk references and also wanted to add lots of stars to my tag.  Some were stickers, one was a Sizzix die that cut had the score marks incorporated in the die itself, but I also needed another size so I made it myself.  Can you tell which one?  Here's how I did it.

This pretty much works for any symmetric star shape die cut.  I've used Spellbinders here.

 

After cutting and embossing with my Grand Caliber, I turned it over and began scoring from the indentation to the point.

 

Do this all the way around the star, making sure all the scores meet in the center.

 

 Turn star over and use your bone folder to make a sharp crease on all the fold lines.

 Then pinch between the long scores to invert the short ones to valley folds.

 Here's the finished dimensional star.  Easy Peasy!

 They can even be layered for a multi dimensional affect.  I hope this inspires you to makes some dimensional stars of your own. 

 

They're just perfect to use with Lucy Loo 'Magnified Star'.
