Fashionista Challenge - Birthday Or Wedding Card Challenge

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Everyone, Jay here with my card for the Fashionista Challenge Blog, this time around the DT would love to see your Wedding Or Birthday Cards.

 

Our Sponsors for this challenge are Milk & Coffee, my image is Glamorous Tiffany, you have the chance of winning some of the beautiful digi's in their on line store.

 

Why not pop over to the challenge and see my teamies inspiration!

 

As most of you will know the papers that I have used are Magnolia, teamed up with two textured papers, from Coredinations Range, (colour core card) which I have distressing via the sanding method.

 

Tiffany is coloured with copics and her dress is mainly C1, C2, C3 & C5, with a tiny hint of Rose Pink, Dark Pink and Pale Pink for the flowers and her waist sash, both flowers have tiny gems in the centres. I've also frantaged around the image to add some sparkle, with shabby pink, I also always highlight my images with light blue grey copic No B60.

 

I have uesed a few of the new Magnolia Banners and a couple of Magnolia Ticket Tags.

 

The lace at the bottom of the card is fantastic, as it can be threaded with any colour ribbon to match your creation! It's available from the ribbon girl, as are the Kort And Godt Rolled Roses and the stargazer lillies. The large iridescent embellishment is edged with crystal right around and I just adore how glamorous they are!

 

I tried my first fimo creation and added the cute little chipboard birthday greeting from unique crafts, which is based in Holland.

 

I've also added some cheesecloth and metal corner from Wild Orchid Crafts, links to Wild Orchid and the Ribbon girl online stores can be found in my sidebar.

 

I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations over at the Fashionista Challenge Blog and thank you for stopping by.

 

Take Care

Cute Winter Elf Christmas Card (Saturated Canary)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Everyone, I hope you enjoyed the fine weather over the weekend, it was glorious here!

 

I decided that for a change, I would make a start on my Christmas cards.

 

So here is my first one, I have used Krista Smiths cute baby elf with candy cane, isn't he sweet.  I have coloured him with promarkers, copics and highlighted with prisma pencils. I also stickled his wings and glazed the little bell on his hat!

 

I didn't want to use too many florals as I think that this card is more male themed, so just a few cherry blossoms.

 

I have used two chipboard sayings "Let it snow and Snow Fun" from unique crafts, I think that they are based in Holland. I threaded the large stitched tag with beautiful organza ribbon from the ribbon girl, the tag also comes with a textured sleeve to slid it into.

 

All papers are magnolia and I have used a large snowflake glittered with diamond dust coarse glitter. The lovely cherry blossoms are also from the hobby house.

 

I hope that you like my card.

Thank you for popping by.

Delightful Tilda Card

 

 

 

Hello Everyone, I hope your are all enjoying the weekend! Its bright and sunny here in the Wirral, ideal day for laundry groan!

 

I did also have time to make this card too and here it is.

 

I have used Delightful Tilda From The Special Moments Collection and have coloured her with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils.

 

The Paper is from the Maja Summer Basic Papers Pad with of course my colour core card stock, which I have distressed.

 

The Beautiful Florals are from the hobby house, ribbon girl and L&L Crafts, all links are in my side bar.

 

There are two sentiments in this card, the first one on the face of the card reads: Sometimes a girl has to pull out all the stops and the inside sentiment reads: may your day be as special as you are to me.

 

How cute is the little feather mask, I found a pack of four in my craft store, they are super dainty and I just love them!

 

I have distressed the card in various ways and added one of my favourite doohickey " So Wrapped Up Heart", threaded with lace and ribbon to match the card!

 

That's all for now chickies, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hello Everyone, I hope you're all loving the sun shiney weekend, as much as I am!!!!

I Used one of the new range of cute Tilda's, she is Tilda with Cross Necklace, isn't she adorable! I have coloured her with prisma pencils and copics. For a change, I gave her a stripy dress and used liquid pearls to embossed the cross necklace. I also used two striped tilda ticket tags to match.

The papers are of course Maja Summer Basics Papers and all of the florals are all from the ribbon girl, the cute pink diamontee is from there too. 

The guazy ribbon is from the Live and Love Crafts, I've added a sentiment from my own stash of goodies.

The Edges of the image are frantaged and I have done the same with the metal corner to complete the bordering effect.

I hope that you like my creation.

Love Love Love Tilda

Good day everyone, its a bit of a mixed bag of weather today in the UK, with some sunny spells and some gray drab clouds. The reason for me telling you this, is that there are some variations in the colours of my card, depending on whether it was sunny when I took that particular photo!

Firstly I would like to thank Gina for her help with a couple of things this week, she is a lovely lady and I can highly recommend popping over to her blog, Thank you Gina x

This is cute little Love Love Love Tilda, I have coloured her with copics for a change from my usual prisma pencils hee hee! She is from the new range.

I just love the frame and she only just managed to squeeze in! I frantaged the frame with shabby pink  and have used a large selection of die cuts. Yes, I am still trying to make something different hee hee, as my cards where all looking very similar.

I had intended to use the papers as backing papers, but they were so nice, it seemed a shame to cover most of them up, they are from my never ending stash of papers, that are taking over my craft room!

I hope that you like the little chip board birthday sentiment, it is from unique crafts as is the frame. The Kort & Godt Rolled Roses are from the lovely ribbon girl & the bark heart is from Live and Love Crafts (links in side bar).

I created a two layer on the edge butterfly border and a selection of butterflies and dragon flies that are all distress with DI.

I hope that you like my card and enjoy the sunny weather that must be coming!!!!

Fashionista Challenge DT Card - This month is show us your Magnolia Tilda's

Hello Everyone,  This is my first post as DT member for the Fashionista Challenge!

Here is my card, featuring Tilda In Long Stockings.

I have used maja design spring basics paper and have used vintage beige to frantage the panel behind, as you can see, I have also frantaged half the ceramic heart above too.

I coloured Tilda with copics in duck blue, aqua blue, aqua and frost blue and layered her onto a triple embossed die cut spellbinders oval.

The stunning aqua ribbon is from the ribbon girl, as is the blue pearl with diamontes and also Kort & Godt Rolled Roses. The lace underneath and the ceramic heart are from live and love crafts. All links for online stores, can be found in my side bar.

I bought the beautiful blue cloud from a kind lady on ebay and for a change from the norm, I have used two "So Wrapped Up" Magnolia Doohickeys. I have threaded the cream linen textured doohickey with shabby seam binding, lace and strung pearls with a cute little button charm and the aqua floral one is threaded with distressed sheer fabric.

I hope you like my creation.  Pop over to the fashionista challenge blog to see more inspiration from my lovely teamies.

Take care

Look who popped through my door today!!!

Hi Everyone, Wow, don't you just love her!!! She popped through my door and brought six lovely friends along with her!

Meet Tilda Binding Flowers! From The New Special Moments Collection.

I coloured her up first, as she is my favourite, I used prisma pencils using the LOS technique and promarkers for her skin and hair. I cut out the central oval from this spellbinders die and distressed it, then frontaged it with shabby pink. Then cut out a second panel from a triple embossed panel, to use behind to add contrast!
 I also had a happy accident, the central oval became dome shaped, as I heat embossed it right around with the frantage, you can mainly see it in the picture above.

For a change this is pion paper and I have used my favourite distressed colour core card stock again!

The glass pebbles, beautiful cluney lace & wooden spool are all from live and love crafts. The Kort and Godt rolled roses, sparkling button and cute little resin dove are all from the riboon girl. Links for both on line stores can be found in my side bar.

I've used one of my 'so wrapped up' Tilda heart doohickey, wrapped with organza ribbon, lace strings and shabby seam binding, with a tiny leaf charm.

I hope that you like my creation, I'm off to colour another one! Please pop back to see my DT Card at the beginning of next week.

Shaped Sweet Pea Card

Hello Everyone, Here is a little Tilda card that I put together yesterday!

I've been enjoying the sunshine here and really looking forward to my hols in a month, where has the time gone, I cant believe that its June tomorrow!

I have had a great week, getting familiar with the fashionista DT pages and I also won a Top 5 place, in Sherri's Besties Challenge Blog too!!! I will also be posting my first ever DT blog card soon!

Onto this card, the Image is sweet pea Tilda and I have stamped her with Rich Mocha Memento Ink. And as everyone knows, the oval is a spellbinders frame. I have distressed and frantaged the edges, then glittered over the frantage with a little stickles, as the colours are quite muted and thought it might add that little extra sparkle.

All the papers are Maja Spring Basics Papers and all the flowers are from Hobby house, I cant get enough of their, cherry blossoms, they are perfect for a lot of the DI's. The Ribbon is from the ribbon girl, I just adore this ribbon, it makes superb bows, I re ordered  some more just yesterday and a heap of  other goodies that I just couldn't resist.

I have also added, a so wrapped up doohickey, which I think is becoming a bit of trademark of mine hee hee! I think the sentiment is perfect for the image and added a selection of lacy leaves in different shades & patterns and one of my handmade sparkly pins too! (another trademark)

I coloured her with a mix of promarkers and prisma pencils and I love my new frame that arrived a couple of days ago!

I hope that you have a great weekend and fingers crossed the sunshine.
Take care

Bestie Princess Card and Some News

Frantaged Princess Wording, Crown And Metal Corner Embellishments.
I Have Also Added Liquid Pearls To The Princess Crown Charm, To Create Pearls In Each Point!



Good day all and welcome to my blog.
I have fallen in love with these cute Besties from Sherri Baldy, I just cant resist those lovely big eyes and they are all sooo cute! Every time I buy another one, I find myself Aaw how cute!!!

Onto some news, I have been trying to create different cards lately and it must be working as I have been asked to be a member of the design team for the Fashionista Challenge by the lovely Rina!!
I am super excited and will be posting my first card with them at the end of the month, so pop over and take a look!

Well for this card, I have used this cute Princess & The Pea type of image. I've also used two magnolia tilde papers and one paper from my personal stash of papers, of course I used colour core too.  I also cut in half an on the edge butterfly border and covered them with the remaining paper off cuts.

I have frantaged the image and two metal corners and added liquid pearls to the crown and got a dot on the edge too hee hee! I also die cut the lovely princess wording and crown and frantaged them too, frantage is so versatile and  is soo addictive!

I have created a little birthday banner and run it across the ribbon threaded cluny lace from Live and Love Crafts, all the floral are from them too and also the ribbon girl and The hobby house. Finally, I die cut some Loreli Leaves with A Memory Box Die, which are really different and add a pretty touch.

Thank you for dropping by and I would love to hear your comments.
Take Care And Have A Great Day!

Masked Magnolia Tilda, Second Post Of The Day!

Hello Again My Lovely Friends.

Here is my second post for the day.

I have masked magnolia onto the lovely Tilda Dandelion Background, the image is coloured with prisma pencils and copics, I have just bought the background and thought this lovely 'Tilda dancing with stars' image, fluttering about in the flowers fits the background perfectly, I mean, who doesn't like a fairy?

The papers are Maja Spring Basics papers and Colour Core Card, no shock there hee hee! I have also used another paper border around the blue floral paper and punched it with a Martha Stewart Punch, with 2 little die cut and distressed tiny tags, peeking out from the side.

The florals are again from the ribbon girl and live and love crafts, I have frantaged the little heart which is from L&L Crafts and the toadstool charm is from the ribbon girl.(links in my side bar)

I've frantaged the backing paper, behind the image, die cut and assembled the bunting and stitched a lovely big organza and satin bow.

I hope you like it and thank you for dropping by.
Take care and big hugs.

Saturated Canary Harvest Princess

Hello Everyone, I haven't been about for a while as I have been quite poorly, I had flu and also larangitis (which I am sure my hubby was secretly happy about, although denied it! Hee Hee!).

Anyway I'm all better now, so I have made a couple of cards to celebrate lol!

This is my first one and I think this Saturated Canary" Harvest Princess" Image is just so pretty ( as all Krista's Images Are) and this one has a lovely earthy feel to it. The image is coloured with prisma pencils using LOS Technique and Promarkers for the skin.

So I used some maja paper (green) and a floral cream glittered paper, I love colour core card, so of course used some of that too, I just love the linen textured feel and it distresses perfectly, with a little light sanding.

The sentiment stamped Tilda Doohickey, which I bought from ebay goes fab with this image and I have wrapped the 'So Wrapped Up' Tilda Doohickey with shabby seam binding, pearl string, a tiny apple charm and tiny pom poms, how cute are the pom poms?

Now, the Kort & Godt rolled paper roses and stunning organza ribbon are from the ribbon girl, who generously gave me a £10 gift voucher, as I won the beginner section in Marvellous Magnolia's Challenge for the card below! Which I was thrilled about Hee Hee!!! The Apples, Apple Charm and Bark Heart Are all from Live and Love Crafts. (All links in my side bar, for online stores)

As I am now totally addicted to frantage, I have frantaged the image and bark heart and added a few of the colour fragments from the same range.

Well, I had better get onto the second post for today.

I hope that you like this card, I would love to hear some comments.
Thanks for popping by my blog.

Something Different For Me!!!

Hello Everyone, Oh my goodness, we have had two days of glorious sunshine, clear blue skies and lots of gardening!! (I've nearly finished the tidy up)

I was feeling like my cards where getting a bit samey, so I set myself a challenge. I wasnt going to use all of the usual things that I usually do, so no large roses, hand made hat pins etc. With one exception, the so wrapped up heart doohickey, which I love to use on cards, so allowed myself one little slip hee hee. I think that each crafter has their own style, so I wanted to do something different.

So here is the card that I created using different materials, all from Live and Love Crafts, I have also frantaged the image and the bark heart and added some fragments too. This is the first thing that I have ever frantaged and I am in love with it now. The lovely ladies at L&L Crafts, have such a wonderful selection of goodies and unusual items that I cant keep my eyes off their site hee hee!

So I used Maja Vintage Summer Basics Papers (papers? more like card!), Kort and Godt Rolled Paper Roses, Glass Pebbles and brown lace across the middle of the card. I die cut some butterflies and lacey leaves  from the left over from the two papers. I used build a brad for the central embellishment on the base layer and used the left over paper to punch the middle section, so nothing went to waste. I have coloured tilda with prisma pencils, she is from the valentines collection, from earlier this year. I will check on her name and add it to the blog later.

I have also threaded the doohickey with brown lace, shabby seam binding and pearl strings, with a heart charm. The daisy lace across the base layer is from my own goodies, with pearls in the center of each one.

I would love to hear your comments and I hope that you like my card.
Take care
