One Last Card For The Weekend!!!

Hi All You Crafty Peeps, This is my 3rd and final card for the weekend! A new record for me, but really, I made the first two during the end of the week, but didnt post them until the weekend, so I cheated a tad there hee hee!!!

I love this card, it is sooo girly!

So, Tilda is coloured with prisma pencils, low odour solvent technique, as it my favourite method at the moment and have used a distressed die cut behind the image. I have used lots of lovely florals, from The Ribbon Girl and the Hobby House. The wooden button and green cherry blossom are from the Hobby House on line store too and I have distressed the button with DI. I also Inlcuded one of my hand made pins, in white.

The large ribbon bow with the bling is from the Ribbon Girl, I hand stictched the beautiful diamontee embellishment in the middle.I have used Lots of buttons, all threaded with white & pink, there is also a bronze button charm on the tag and I have threaded this with cotton too!

On the base, I have attached pearls to the stunning cluny lace from Live and Love Crafts, where the jute ribbon on the front of card is from too. I have included a Tilda Tag, which is fixed this time to the base and is threaded with looped ribbon from the ribbon girl, shabby seam binding is from L&L Crafts and pearl string and also a tilda butterfly with rose body.

Both Papers are of course magnolia tilda, both backed with distressed colour core textured card stock.

Well Thats everything for now peeps. Thank you for dropping by my little blog!

Distressed Magnolia Tilda With Big Tulips Easel Card

Hi Everyone, this is my second post of the day.

I have used Tilda With Big Tulips and coloured her with Prima pencils in a variety of colours and used the low odour solvent technique. I love the results that can be achieved using this method and whilst it is very time consuming, it gives an almost distessed ink look to the images.

I cant make my mind up if I have distressed this card a bit too much, but I love it anyway.

The papers are of course, distressed (sanded) colour core card, but for change this week from Pion or Magnolia papers, I have used Emerald Isle Papers from Whimsy. I just love the depth of the emerald green colour, which compliments the distressed beige and browns beautifully!

Ive used beautiful cream cluny lace, that adds a really lovely accent across the center of the card and all the florals are from either wild orchid, the ribbon girl, live and love crafts or the hobby house!  The beautiful Cluny lace is also available in white from Live and Love Crafts Too.

The Die cut stamped sentiment is from Magnolia and I have used the slightly larger die cut behind the image, accented with DI. Included is one of my hand made pins and I created a dark green bow from chiffon like distressed fabric. The lovely cook coo clock charm is from live and love crafts too.

Links to all on line shops mentioned are in my side bar and I have just noticed that Sir Stampalot, (another favourite of mine!) has started to sell hobby house goodies too, they are in the whats new section.

Anyway time for a coffee, I hope that you like both my cards that I have posted today.

Thank you for dropping by. Take care and big cuddles to you all. Jay xxx

Saturated Canary Blossom Easel Card

Hello Again Everyone, get me posting two cards in one day hee hee!

This is my second saturated canary card of the day, as I made a tent card last time, I decided to make a blossom easel cards, I call them blossoms, as they are a floral shape.

As with the previous SC card, I coloured Sabrina with prima pencils and promarkers ( see previous card for colours).

I have used two stunning pion papers from live and love crafts, I used four doohickeys for the fence, swirley branch, tag, butterlies  x 2 and the double layer tag on the base, scratch that, I used alot of Magnolia doohickeys and I also cant count lol!
I am a little disappointed as the fence isnt straight, it looked straight when I was lining it up?!? but never mind!

The image is bordered with distressed colour core card and a thinlets die provided the lovely corners. The tag is distressed slightly and stamped with a lovely stamped sentiment, that I bought on line.

As those of you who know me, all the florals are from either the ribbon girl, wild orchid or Live and Love crafts, the little brass key is from the ribbon girl, I removed the charm loop at the top, so I could lay it flat on the base.

Thank you for dropping by my little blog.

Sister Act Challenge - Always Anything Goes

I decided to make a second Australian Tilda Card

Hello All You Crafty People Out There, I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend! I am, as its given me the opportunity to make another card!

I decided to use another of the Australian Collection for this card, its called Kangaroo Tilda and I have coloured her and joey, with copics and added a little sakura sparkle to her dress.

I am loving this colour core card, it distresses beautifully and co-ordinates with the lovely distressed Country Cottage papers from Whimsy and I have used the same paper, for the inside of the card too.  I did use a blue patterned paper on the front too, although its not too obvious, in the photos lol!

You can see one of my hand made pins above in the florals, which are all from either wild orchid, the ribbon girl or live and love crafts, I used 2 floral swirley die cuts at the top and bottom of the florals to add interest & extend them a little. Live and love crafts cluny lace and bark hearts are both so yummy, that I had to use them with this card! The two cute flowers buttons are from the hobby house and all the links can be found in my side bar, I threaded and distressed the buttons with DI.

The Magnolia So Wrapped Up Tag, Is Kraft Card and the sentiment is from LOTV and reads:
"Tommorrow Hold Many Wonderful Things" and I have used shabby seam binding in two colours, stitched pearl string in place and added a tiny butterfly charm for the finishing touch.

Thankyou for dropping by my little blog, enjoy the rest of the bank holiday.

Magnolia Tilda With Ugg Shoes

Hi Everyone, Wishing you all a lovely choclately easter, I am giving my daughter a huge Thorntons Egg in the morning, that she doesnt know about! Its hard trying to keep a suprise for an 18 year old hee hee!  Have A Great Day!

I made this card using Tilda With Ugg Shoes, from the Australian Collection from last year, I havent used her for a while, she is a super cutie! I coloured her with pro markers and distress inks, I love distress inks, they are soo easy to work with. I also water coloured a sky with DI, but its not really showing up, I will pop on another pic tomorrow, it will hopefully show up in sunlight???

Now, this is the part where I always say that most of my florals are from the ribbon girl, Wild Orchid Or Live & Love Crafts, which they mainly are on the right hand side of the card. But today I have used Cherry blossoms on the left hand side of card and they are from Hobby House, they have an extensive collection of unusual shades of Cherry Blossoms & Roses. They are also currently have a yummy give away and the link is in my side bar to join in! You can also access the shop from there too.

All the beautiful papers are of course Magnolia Tilda (another usual for me hee hee) and Colour Core Card, that I have distressed.
I have sentiment wrapped a little wooden spool and I bought the cute little ladybird Button From Hobby Craft Too, I distressed it a little and decided not to thread it, so you can see it clearly.

I've used some shabby seam binding and cheesecloth, both L&L Crafts, Die Cut A Glitter Vellum Butterfly and distressed A Craft So Wrapped Up Tilda Heart Tag, the inside of the card, is also designed to compliment the front of the card too!

Thank you for dropping by my little blog.
Take care, Hugs Jay x

Terracotta Magnolia Easel Card

As you can see the colour has varied according to the light, the picture above is the truest colour to the actual card, whilst the card below is slightly darker.


Hi Everyone, I thought that I would make an easel card for a change and also use a peachy/terracotta colour combination, that I do not use often, so I thought that it would be a nice change to combine both.

I have used both the full size and mini Tilda with Butterfly Dress,for this easel Card, the die cut Tilda tag is removable from the main card and embellished with shabby seam binding and pearls. This is one of my favourite stamps, as it was one of the first that I bought, I bought the mini stamp around a year later to use together, so it has been a long time coming (using them together!).

The Stunning papers are Magnolia from the summer collection and Signs Of Spring Pion Papers and I have used a thick glitter embossed paper across the central panel.

I have used on the edge die cuts, which are double layered, so that the wings can be the wings of the top set can be lifted up and most of the florals are from the Ribbon Girl and Live & Love Crafts, as are the shabby seam binding, Venice Petite lace and the mini bark heart on the left hand side of the card.

I designed the base layer to be distressed, so cut out a double layer magnolia flower, from colour core card (which as the name suggests, has a different coloured core). I sanded then shaped the flowers  and used a diamonte button in the centre. The Two Ovals Were embossed and I creased the cream layer to give a crinkled effect, they were then distressed with liquid chalk.
 I thought that using some skeleton leaves, was a nice change too and adds a lovely effect to the base. Included is one of my hand made pins, with a tiny butterfly charm attached, which I made myself and I distressed some of the white flowers with dried marigold distress inks.

I hope that you like my card and thank you for dropping by my little blog.

Hugs

Easter Bunny Magnolia Tilda Card

With the removable tilda tag.



The Above Image is with the tag taken out, you can view the tag below in
the four picture collage!



Loving this textured Card Stock!

Hi to everyone visiting my blog.

I will add a post when I have joined Bloglovin x

So now onto todays card, I love this easter Tilda, I did colour two different Easter Tildas, but decided that I prefered this one, as I masked the tilda with basket of eggs onto an Egg  background, but decided to use this little Tilda instead. She is coloured with distress inks and both papers, inside and out are from magnolia tilda. All of the coloured card is 6" Colour Core, which has a different colour inside when sanded or torn, I have used the  sanded effect on the circle inside the card.

The card also includes a removable "So Wrapped Swirley" Magnolia Tilda Doohickey, I have used a tilda stamp to stamp the sentiment and put it across the doohickey in a banner style and added cotton lace threaded with sheer ribbon and pearl string to the tag! (all hand stitched into place).

 The card is decorated with beautiful florals from Wild Orchid, Live & Love Crafts and the Ribbon girl (links in my side bar), I have added one of my own hand made pins and a beautiful distresssed fabric bow with large pearl brad to the centre. I think that the white organza rose trim is from Wild Orchid Too!

Thank you for droppin by my little blog, I do hope that you like my card!

Something Different From The Chatsworth Vintage Collection

Hello Everyone,
What a day, I havent had the internet all day, as there are repairs being carried out in my area. Its back on for now so I will have to be quick about this post in case I lose connection again!

I wanted to make something different and I have had a book of beautiful Chatsworth Vintage Papers and matching Stamps for quite a while now, so I made this card from their papers and stamps.

The papers are beautiful and have a linen texture to them. I have used only the stamps to create the centre piece and the greeting and my spellbinders dies to cut them out. The interior of the card is also made from the same paper and designed to match the front of the card. The beautiful florals are mainly from Wild Orchid and added just a few to keep it simple and clean, as my Magnolia Cards usually have lots of different florals and other embellishments, so this was a also a change for me.

The backing paper appears more purple in the photo than it actually is, the backing paper is more of a burgundy, not purple as it appears, very stange, as the rest of the colours are true to the card!

I have hand stitched the bow and the sentiment is mounted on a Tim Holtz Pin, the lovely charm has a deep burgundy centre and fits the theme & pattern very well.

I hope that you like this card, I enjoyed making it myself lol !

Thank you for popping by my little blog.

Tilda with magic wand card

Hello all you crafty peeps out there, Thank goodness its almost the weekend, where did this week go, it feels like it zipped past!

I just popped onto to show my new card, as I am dashing out.

I have made this card, using Tilda With Wand, I coloured her with Promarkers for the skin and hair and Copics for the rest, I also highlighted the top filmy layer of her dress with Sakura Sparkle to add a bit more definition.

Most of the beautiful florals are from either the Ribbon Girl, Live & Love Crafts Or Wild Orchid, you can find the link for the first two lovely shops in my side bar. I'm still loving the poppies from L&L Crafts, Ive used two and distressed them a little with paint.

The Top Layer of Paper Is Magnolia with  a lovely muted blue paper from Dove Craft. I have added a little  baby blue lace and I am loving the gauzy ribbon, from L&L Crafts, its very moorish and unusual, I just had to have some when I saw it, its on sale now too!

The inside is decorated to compliment the front and stamped with a "Feel The Magic! sentiment.

The last thing to add is that there is also a Kraft card Magnolia Doohickey, which is distressed and stamped with a LOTV sentiment and threaded with pearls, ribbon and cotton lace!

Have a fab weekend everyone and thanks very much for dropping by my little blog.

Masked Tilda Sewing A Blue Berry Blanket

Hello Everyone, Happy Mothers Day!

This is my latest masked Tilda, I say my latest, as I think that I am going through a bit of a masking phase lately, but I like the effect of this one, I bought the stamp a few years ago at a local craft fair, but I cant remember what it is called, but it goes well with Tilda.

I have coloured the whole image with distress inks, which is rare for me, as I prefer to use promarkers for the skin & hair, but I thought that I would have a change.

Anyway, enough waffling. The top layer of paper is of course Tilda, All my flowers are from Wild Orchid or The Ribbon Girl and I have used a Singer sewing machine charm, I think its from the ribbon girl too. You can find the link for the ribbon girl in my side bar.

I have used a couple of my own hand made pins and used two of the cutest little cotton reels, one wrapped with cotton and one wrapped with So Sweet sentiment from LOTV. I've also used some cheesecloth, from wild orchid, as is the large metal corner and threaded a couple of buttons.

I hope that you like my creation and thank you for taking the time to drop by my blog.

Butterfly dreams Tilda - Daydream

Good Day Everyone, I hope that your enjoying the weekend and have been lucky enough to have had some time to craft.  Wow, how the time flies, already into March!!! Been lovely here today, nice and sunny.

Now this is a first for me, I have coloured the entire masked images with prisma pencils, using the low odour solvent technique. With my other cards, I generally colour everything with the pencils,except the hair and skin and for me, I find the best effect is pro markers (just my opinion). But I thought that I would give the hair and skin a go, so I did a couple of trials and then used this method on this image, its turned out not too bad, but it did take a really long time to colour and blend.

Both Tilda and the stone path are from the butterfly dreams collection, both available at sir stampalot.

So I made this card using Tilda Paper and the pink daisy top layer is from my personal goodies. Most of the florals are from the ribbon girl, you can find the link in my side bar, others  florals are from wild orchid, but I have just recieved the beautiful poppies from live and love crafts, you can find their link on the side bar too and just couldnt wait to use them, they are just gorgeous!

The sentiment wrapped wooden spool is from L&Love Crafts, as are the new flower sprays, which is on the bottom right hand side photo above and lovely cluny lace from the same store and the Daydream Sentiment Is LOTV. All elements are distressed with Ranger Distress Inks.

I have also used cheesecloth and metal corner from Wild Orchid Crafts, I think thats everything phew!

I hope that you like my creation.

Thanks for dropping by.
