Wrapped Heart Tilda

Happy Boxing Day everyone, this is a scheduled post and as this goes live I'll be in the middle of Christmas Dinner with my family (my grown up children spent the day with their father, grandfather and my daughter's boyfriend's family down in London yesterday, so I'm having my 'official' Christmas Day today instead).

I'm here with my DT post for Marvelous Magnolia.  We're still running our challenges as Anything Goes to make it easier on you during the Christmas Holidays when everyone is so busy and with that in mind our current challenge is running for 3 weeks, this is week 2 so still plenty of time to enter. This is my mid-challenge inspiration and as I don't want to see another Christmas card for a month or so, I decided to make an early start on some Valentine's cards, using Wrapped Heart Tilda and some stunning Pion Design papers.  In fact this paper was sooo pretty I tried hard not to over embellish so that you could still see it clearly.  I've included links to most products used at the end of this post.

I've stitched all my papers as usual and edged them with Tattered Rose DI.

I paper pieced the wrapping on the heart.  Copic colours used are:

Skin: E0000, 000, 00, 11, 93

Hair: E40, 31, 35, 39

Clothes: R00, 11, 12, 14, W0, 1

Flowers and pearls are from The Ribbon Girl.

This paper is all from the same 12 x 12 sheet, it contains 4 of 6 x 6 designs on the same sheet, I used some of 3 designs on this card and still have some left to go towards another card. Isn't it beautiful....I nearly hyperventilated cutting into it lol!

I cut the same shape that Tilda was mounted on for writing a message on the inside and stamped the edge with a Kaisercraft texture stamp, I'm sorry I can't remember what this one is called or where I got it from, I thought it went well with the design on the paper.

Well that's it for me, hope you enjoy your Boxing Day if you're in England, so pop across at some point to look at the rest of the DTs creations, they're absolutely gorgeous, and if you have some time after the Christmas festivities, do join in with our challenge, it's an Anything Goes again, so nice and easy and still 2 weeks to get your entry in!

Show the Way Tilda Shaker

Good afternoon everyone, just one more day to go until the weekend, it’s going to be a busy one for me as I have lots to get done in preparation for Christmas. 

I’m here today with the new challenge for Marvellous Magnolia.  Our challenge couldn’t be easier as it’s Anything Goes.

I’m sharing one of my final Christmas cards today, and this time I tried something completely new for me, I made a shaker card. I made this card for my daughter, but as I've given it t her now I can share it with you.  This is my first time making one of these, so hopefully I didn't make too much of a hash of it lol. This is a particularly photo heavy post.

I used the new Vintage  Frost Basics papers from Maja Design, they’re just so yummy and you can carry on using them after Christmas too, as they aren’t Christmas specific. There are links to most of the items  I used at the end of this post.

I’ve used Show the Way Tilda, I think she’s sooo pretty, and doesn’t she look snug and cosy in her hat and coat….well until I stuck her in the middle of a snow blizzard lol.   I added a little snowflake for her to point at and some shabby pink embossing powder around her to look like snow and used Diamond Dust and some silver Glass Glitter to be shaken.

The little pennants are just cut from the border strip of the Maja paper I thought they looked so cute, and the looped ribbon looked very pretty framing the image.

The pink ribbon for the bow and the gem I've had in my stash for ages now.

Flowers are all from Wild Orchid Craft

As you can see I gently sloped and shaped my card using clear sticky foam and I filled the small gap that was left at the edge with some sparkly bead trim from my stash, I actually think this looks really pretty.

Well that’s it from me for today, I’ll be back tomorrow with my card for Crafty Catz challenge blog.

Enjoy the rest of your day and don't stress too much over Christmas :) xx

Tilda Under Mistletoe

Good afternoon peeps! If you're looking for my Candy you can find it here 

I'm here with a scheduled post, (another 2 hours till I can head home from work) for my DT card for Marvelous Magnolia.

As we're on 2 week mode for the run up to Christmas, I'm here with a mid-challenge reminder.

We're currently making our challenges Anything Goes for a bit, to help you all out as we know how busy you all get during this time of year. I'd made my card before we changed to 2 week mode and Anything Goes, so it's a Shabby Chic Christmas Card.

Papers are Pion Design - Silent Night - Snowflakes I've distressed them and inked them with DI in Walnut Stain, sewn then by hand and then distressed a little more with some white acrylic paint.  I've used some cheesecloth over my bottom layer, the base shape is cut with a Go Kreate die.

The image is Tilda Under Mistletoe, isn't she a cutie? I love her as a redhead. I've added some little dots of glamour dust to her pinafore dress to look like sequins, but you can only just see it here.  The Trees are a Magnolia Doo Hicky Die, I've frantaged them in Shabby White and then added some liquid applique.

Flowers and ribbon are from The Ribbon Girl and the pearl trim, berries and pine cone are from Live and Love Crafts.  The leaf die behind the flowers is 

Magnolia Doohickey Die - Leaf and Swirl

I did put some lace on, but as usual it's almost completely hidden by everything I've added lol. Finally I've given the flowers and berries a splash of white acrylic.

Do pop along to Marvelous Magnolia and take a peek at the fabulous creations the rest of the DT have made, and there's still time to enter our challenge, Anything Goes, so it's super easy.

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy the rest of your day :) xx

Steampunk Marci at DTDF

Good morning!! Spare a thought for me as you read this as I'll be shivering in the cold waiting for my bus to work.  Yup it's another scheduled post from me, sharing my first ever DT card for Dies to Die for.

I've taken a break from Christmas today to share a Steampunk inspired card with you, I have a little bit of a secret love for Steampunk, but with this stamp you can have Steampunk and cute in one package!

Papers are Maja Design Autumn Basics, all distressed, inked with DI in Walnut Stain and hand sewn.

The super cute image is Steampunk Marci by La La Land Crafts, she's coloured in my usual Copics.  I added a little crackle paint in Rock Candy to the lenses of her goggles which looks fab in the flesh, but sadly I just couldn't get it to photograph well.

All those gears are from a Cheery Lyn Die set.

The clock is also by Cheery Lyn and the tickets are made with a Whimsy stamp set and matching die.

You can find all the details of theses products here with a link to the items in the store for ease of finding.

I hope you enjoyed my share today, don't forget to visit this post if you haven't already, for details of my Candy, a £15 DTDF gift voucher to spend on whatever you want from the store.

Enjoy the rest of your day folks, don't forget to drop by on Thursday for my Marvelous Magnolia DT card :) xx

A Joyful Tilda & Five Weeks Till Christmas? Eeek!

Good evening, I hope you had a great start to your week.  This weekend it hit me hard....Christmas is just around the corner...I need to get my finger out and start getting prepared lol cos I've barely given it a thought.  I kind of like Christmas to feel special so I don't like to start too early...but then again I don't want to be left panicking at the last minute lol.   Anyway, I decided to try and get into the spirit and spent most of my weekend making Christmas cards and I thought I'd share one today.

So I'm not a big fan of traditional Christmas colours in the main.  My tree (always real) is about the only thing in the house at Christmas that is, how it's decorated....not :P  Anyway I decided to go with a Pink Christmas, though it's a violet pink.  The paper is by Maja, not a Christmas collection but this covered it's not like anyone will notice lol.

All papers have been stitched and inked with DI in Vintage photo, I've used some cheesecloth behind the image.

I love, love, love this stamp.  It's A Joyful Tilda, one of the latest collection, love her outfit and she looks so adorable playing in the snow so I used some shabby white frantage to make it look like the snow was flying around.  She's coloured with Copics, my usual skin tones plus RV63, 66 & 69 & E40, 42, 44 for her clothing. I've used some liquid applique and sprinkled it with Glamour Dust for the snow she's standing on.

I've used a few dies here (me using dies?  no big suprise there huh?)  The ones to shape the card are from Go Kreate .  I've also used some Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags ,  Some Marianne Design Creatables Snowflakes Dies and one of the  La La Land Crafts Stitched Tags, you can find all 3 die sets at Dies to Die For and I've added the links so you can just click on them to find them easily.

I've decorated the inside with the same papers as on the front and added some of the same snowflake stamps, this is an old stamp set of mine from Wild Rose Studios, I think they still make it though. 

Well that's all from me today, though I'll no doubt be sharing more Christmas cards in the following weeks.

I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:

Time for Magnolia -Christmas in non traditional colours

Tilda's Town Favourite Tilda or Edwin
