Red ... But Not Christmas!

Hello everyone,

Well, this is funny, none of my Christmas cards were red, I avoided it and went mainly with aqua and blues with brown.

So, I won a prize at the Stamping Chef last week and couldn't wait to colour  this image called Ella Lovely, I just could see her in anything other than red, so after avoiding it all Christmas, I made this card in red he he!

So enough waffle, here is my card 



The light isn't great here today, so I had the flash on for the middle photo.


The main paper is a digi paper, which is really shabby and the middle section is Maja Design, the sentiment was the border on the same sheet. The taffeta ribbon and heart button are from the ribbon girl.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays and Happy New Year!!!

Sweet Oklahoma

Hello Everyone, 

Here is a card that I made using Krista Smiths Sweet Oklahoma Image. You can find the image here.

I coloured her with copics and tried to add a little dimension to her clothes, hope you like it, its so nice to make something other than a Christmas card this time of year! Mind you, apart from one card that I made in green, I used alot of non traditional xmas colours this year.







I made the flowers from colour core card, I distressed the paper first then cut out the flowers, which gives a nice shabby effect. I also made two of my own pearl and metal hat pins is corresponding colours.


All the papers are Maja Design, including the two doohickey die cuts and I think the border may be Pion.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I am off to help santa stock up on my daughters Christmas presents!

Take Care, Cuddles Jay xxx

Happy Birthday To You...

Hello Everyone,

I hope your all well and starting to get into the festive spirit he he!!!

So, for a change, I have opted to make a girly card, as I miss my pinks he he!

I just need to explain that the picture quality is not very good due to the dark weather we are having here in Engalnd.



I coloured both Devine Tilda and Tilda in Summer pants with copics and the papers are maja design. The cute bunting is made using a whimsy stamp and I have threaded them all with hemp twine!


I think the lace and pearl border is from the Ribbon Girl store.

Have a lovely week,

Its cold outside! Sure is!!!

After noon everyone, 

Wow it is very cold here in England and at 3pm, its practically twilight, miss summer so much boo hoo!!!

Here is a card that I made for fun, featuring its cold out side Tilda, perfect for today...

The pictures are a bit poor due to the dark weather, I will try again tomorrow.


The beautiful papers are all Maja Design or Pion, I used three altogether and I coloured her with copics. I used one of the paper straws from LLC to added the doohickey flag and stamped and coloured that up too!

I added some little winter chipboard wording and applied snowtex around her feet.


I coloured the skates with white and silver paint, distressed them and used my brad setter to make the holes and threaded them with hemp twine!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fab week and dont do too much xmas shopping!!!

Take care, Cuddles Jay xxx

Rustic magnolia light up fire place

Good morning everyone,
Happy 1st Of December to you!
Today is the first day of our new challenge at Magnolia Mania and its the easiest one around...
Anything Goes!

You have two weeks to share your beautiful ATG creations with us, also pop over to see who was the winner of the last challenges prizes and see if you were on of the DTs top three!

You have the chance of winning a surprise package from Magnolia, wouldn't that be nice in your Christmas Stocking?

I made this rustic light up fire place, complete with two magnolia's, Sparkle Poinsettia Tild and Tilda With Apple Wreath.


I either coloured all of the elements with my copics or covered them with distressed Christmas coloured papers, to give the red glow in side the fire, I used a red bicycle light he he! 


I glossed the hearth tiles and filled a little corked bottle with tiny colourful bells, this is now a permanent Christmas decoration in my home! 

This is the fire place with the magnolia section removed, its a little lighter in colour as it is facing a window, to show the gloss on the tiles.

We cant wait to see what you come up this time around.

Molly The Elf Checking Her List

Hello All, 

Today is a lovely sunny day here in England, quite a nice change during winter and I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw a large black and red butterfly in my garden, now that is a first for mid November!

Onto my card, I used Krista Smiths Molly The Elf for my newest Christmas card and made a lot of the elements my self too, so I am really pleased with it.


I colored her with Copics and added flocking and a sprinkle of diamond dust to the fluffy & furry parts of her clothes. I didn't draw her nose, but I did use shadowing to create one, which I am also pleased with ha ha!
The outer paper is from my own stash of goodies and the edges are chalked, the two top papers are Maja Design,edged with metallic paint & the border is Maja too.
I added the white memory box flourish, die cuts around the outer edge, as I think they add a little more interest to the shape.


I made the two hat pins to compliment the brown and blue colour scheme.


I also made the two layer glittery snowflakes, if you enlarge the picture you can see both layers. There is sneaky glimpse of the cream lace, I added underneath the border. 
The candy cane is made from Fimo clay and yes, you guessed I made that too.



In an effort to cut down on your scrolling time, I made these photos into a page and as you can see in the top right picture, I used a Tim Holtz Ideology pin to hold the sentiment ticket and joined the two silver bells together with a silver ring and attached them to the pin.



Thank you for stopping by today and have a fab and crafty weekend!

Its Cold Outside Tilda Snowy Scene Card

Hello Everyone 

Here is a card that I made using 'Its Cold Outside' Tilda, masked with the Old Swedish Church Background.

All of the snow is snow-tex and it took over an hour and half to apply each little bit! 
I thought this little Tilda was perfect to mask with this background.

All the flowers are from Live and Love Crafts and the little acorn caps are from the Ribbon Girl. 

The paper on the bottom section of the card is Maja Design.

Hope you like it...




I have also used one of Unique Crafts 'Snow' wood chip wording too and of course my blue bling is in the center of a Magnolia Doohickey Bow.

Thanks for stopping by today, Take care

White Embossed Tilda With Rose Basket

Hello Everyone

My goodness the weather here in the UK in so miserable, the sky is pure grey, so I decided to finish off my card.

I have used the white embossing technique, that I have seen a few times, it was tricky colouring with copics. As the raised lines can flood, if you lay down too much ink at the start, especially on her hair and it is also a little more tricky to blend too.



All the papers are from Live and Love Crafts, I have cut tags from Pions My Precious Daughter collection and I have used a larger section of Maja Design 'Shall we have coffee' paper for the central panel.


I have added a few of Pions butterflies and a tag to match.

The lovely Gingham Ribbon and Heart Button are from L&L Crafts and have threaded the button and tied the tag with natural hemp twine.


I hope that you like my card, I have been wanting to try this technique for a while and as I said in my last post, crafting is about trying new techniques.

Have a fab week and take care
