WWW Follow Me Tilda card

Hiya Everyone

Here is my first card with the new www. range!

I have also used Follow Me Tilda, she is lightly coloured with Copics and sprinkled a little frantage around the image too.

 I haven't done a really fussy girly card in a looong time, too long, I think I went a bit crazy with my layout he he!!!

I absolutely love this Tilda and all the matching accent stamps.

As you can see, I have also used You Got Mail Text & Computer Icons stamps.

I added a Maja doohickey threaded with three different types of lace and a post card charm (bottom right), that is mail too, right! he he

Thanks for stopping by today and have a good week!

Hello Everyone,

I am thrilled to announce that this is my very first post as a DT member for Lovely Hanglar Or Sweet Magnolia Challenge. 

I am very honoured to have been chosen in the recent DT call and what a warm welcome I received from Sara and her lovely team!

Onto this weeks challenge and the theme is Use A Sentiment, easy huh!

The sponsors this time around is one of my favourite shops, The Ribbon Girl, you are in with a chance to win a wonderful prize!

In January I asked the lovely Norma (from my craft room) if she would kindly make a tutorial for her beautiful roses and true to her word she created not one, but two for me! I was thrilled to bits and here is my version of her gorgeous roses.  Finally, I got them done Norma!!! Thank you so, so much!

I've used stop in the name of love Tilda and coloured her with Copics.

These roses started off life as grey card, I used three different liquid chalks, one silver and two reds to create the colour way and I did the same with the grey card around the sentiment and the card border too. 

My papers are Pion and Maja Design, both available at Live and Love Crafts.

We are all looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations @ LHOSM, show some love and pop over to see the teams gorgeous cards from my fellow teamies!!!

Triple Panel Masked Tilda Card

Hello Everyone,

Wow what lovely summery weather we are having here today in England, warm and sunny! Perfect to introduce my masked summer background card!

I had this design in my head for a while and its a fairly simple design, I used the three panels a three inch fold behind the first panel, so the two side panels are set back and the front panel is brought forward, I hope that makes sense?

I used Tilda with Rose Basket and Summer hill background!

I have coloured the whole image with Copics and created some little bunting with my whimsy dies!

Both Papers are Pion: mothers day flowers and grandmas note book!

The large rose are of course Wild Orchid Crafts!

Well, I have just had my first physio session for my leg and I am a bit achy, so I am planning on sitting in my garden enjoying the sunshine, the birds and blogging on my laptop!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the sunshine, where ever you are!

Besties hoppy easter card

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, I made this black light box, as I personally think that the pictures pop more than with a white background and I can definitely see the difference.

I hope that you are all well and looking forward to starting your weekend.

Here is an Easter card that I have been working on, over the past few days.

The image is called Molly and Hop the rabbit.

I have coloured the image with Copics, to match the beautiful glittery paper that I knew I had in my stash!

I've used a few florals and beaded berries from the ribbon girl.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and have a wonderful weekend and happy mothers day in advance, to all you mothers out there!

Hiya Everyone

Here is an insert card that I made over the last week. featuring one of my favourite gals, Tilda With Big Rose.

She is coloured with copics and I have hand cut the spotty stand to match the spotty frame around her.

The beautiful roses are WOC and the spray is from L&L Crafts.

I removed the stamens from two sweet heart blossoms and replaced them with pearl brads and added them to the ribbon to remove the insert.

 

The gorgeous muted paper is Pion and a piece from my own goodies.

The lovely pleated satin and organza ribbon and pearl trim are from The Ribbon Girl.

The theme this time around is Winter Wonderland, we hope that you will join us, we cant wait to see your beautiful creations!

Here is my small easel card featuring Tilda in Cosy Coat and Old Swedish Church Background...



Tilda and the scene is coloured with copics and I added a little liquid pearls and stickles and also snowtex to add a little texture.

I am have inked the little woodchip reindeer and added them as though they are in the distance.

Shabby Chic Betty Boots

Hiya Everyone,

Here is another card, using Betty Boots, as soon as I saw here I had to have her to colour her up! She originally came with a blank sign, so I added with love to fit the current valentine holiday season.

(It only seems like 5 mins ago that we were all saying the same about Christmas!)

I coloured her with copics and added some lovely papers and ribbons from my goodies, the bark heart and twine threaded button are from Live and Love Crafts & the beautiful large roses are of course WOC.

I included one of my hat pins and some beige spikey foliage too, along with a silver heart charm.

The lovely large blossom shape fits the theme nicely, I wanted it to be a bit grungy/shabby chic, but still girly and I am happy with the outcome.

 

You can find Betty Boots Here

Loves me,Loves me not Tilda

Hiya Everyone

As I have alot of time just sitting around with my broken leg, I have done alot of colouring lately, so here is another card featuring Loves Me, Loves Me Not Tilda.

I absolutely adore these papers, they are Grandmas Attic by Tinker N Co, they are quite heavy for papers. You can find them Here. I used three papers from the collection and the Doohickey tag & flowers are made from it & its 100% recycled too.

I made and distressed the cute little flowers to add extra interest and the white foliage around the edgs are die cuts and frame Tilda perfectly!

She is coloured with copics and I added some little grasses and sky to create an outdoor scene.

Hope you like my card, Take Care

Masked Triple Valentine's Tildas

Hiya Everyone,

I bought these three beauties before I broke my leg two weeks ago today and as I am finding it tricky to make cards with poor mobility at the moment, I decided to use all three that I have on one card!

I coloured them with copics and mixed in a little pro marker skin colours so they didnt all have the same colour skin.

I like these smaller sized easel cards, using the cute frames. I used some vintage papers from my own goodies and cut a matching tag and used a doohickey bow with a wooden heart button that I distressed, the flowers are WOC and the sentiment is Magnolia too.

cupid valentines card

Hiya everyone, 

 I haven't been around much this week, as I slipped on ice 10 days ago and broke my left leg and dislocated my foot. I have had surgery which resulted in a metal plate, six screws and a metal rod in my ankle. 

I will now need to take six months off work to recover, as the metal rod is being removed in a few months (more surgery) and then I will need months of intensive physiotherapy too. 

But I am staying positive and even managing to get a little crafting done. I cant weight bear on my leg, but with the help of my lovely hubby, we managed to re-organise my craft room, so that I can get my wheel chair around and I made this card using one of my new Tilda stamps, she is called my valentine.

Sorry the pictures aren't too good, I didn't use my usual area for taking the photos, as I cant get my wheel chair in there.

Isnt she a cutie!

I made a large tag shaped card and covered the front with a Magnolia butterfly paper and I used some maja basics for the scalloped oval around the image.

She is coloured with Copics and the ribbons, distressed wooden heart button and beautiful roses are all from the ribbon girl. 

Please pop by Sunday, as the new challenge for Magnolia Mania Challenge begins, thank goodness I made that card in advance he he!

Fussy and Fancy Friday - Featured Guest Designer

Hey Everyone,

Fantastic News, as some of you may have seen on the challenge, I am Fussy and Fancy Friday, Featured Guest Designer!!!

Their theme this week is Swirls and Pearls and here is the card that I made, nice to make something bright and colourful for a change.

I coloured Lemon Tilda up with copics, and the papers are all from my own stash of goodies. I found the little Fresh Lemonade ticket on the net and the bunting too. They add that splash of yellow and as I really wanted to keep the focus on pink with this card, I think that is enough yellow.

The happy birthday sentiment is from one of Pions Paper border sheets and I have wrapped it around a tiny wood spool.

I have actually cut her out and then replaced her, on an identical image, so that she stands out.

The flowers are  from WOC and I made a little hand made pearl hat pin and die cut some large magnolia leaves and tags from the same shades  of papers.

I am sure the swirly borders are memory box Valerian Flourish, they add an extra element of interest. 

Just wanted to add, if you love this two tone shabby seam binding as much as I do you can find details Here at Jules blog!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great week.

Don't forget to pop over to the challenge to see the teams beautiful creations.

Edwin Wants A Hug Birthday Card

Hiya Everyone,

Here is a card that I made for my friends dad for his birthday, I dont usually like making male cards, but as she is a dear friend to me, I made this for her.

As he is a Rangers supporter, I bordered all the pion papers with bazzil bling card to match their colours and I coloured his tie with the same colour too. 

And a strange coincidence, I later found out that he is a stamp collector, so the stamp on the right worked well too! 

Thanks for stopping by today.
