Boho Collection Card

Hello Everyone 

Its a beautiful day here today, so sunny and for October a real treat! 

I have a card to share today with two of the new Boho Collection Tilda's ...

It is a Z Fold Card, initially inspired by Jennifer D's tutorial, but I have changed the dimensions to suit my design.

I have used Hippie Tilda and stamped some of the leaves that came with the collection.

 and Chic Fringe Tilda, I also used the little toad stool border that was a part of the doohickey club. 

Papers are Pion and the little bird cage is from L&L Crafts and was part of a set along the clay heart that I have triple embossed with frantage. All flowers are WOC and the cream berry spray is from L&L Crafts too!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend!

My precious daughters birthday card!

Hello Everyone

My Beautiful Daughter Ashleigh is 21 Today and here is the birthday card that I made for her. 

I didnt see her reaction as she is in Preston at university, but I knew that she would like it, as I used her favourite colour, can you guess which one he he!

I called her this morning and she is thrilled with her card and she is having a great day with all of her uni friends!

I used Celebration Tilda and a key to the door charm, as it is tradition and I used my precious daughter sentiment which is just perfect. I bought the Precious Daughter paper to use on this card. 

Its a different style for me, but I like how it turned out

The flowers are from WOC and the papers are from L&L Crafts - as always!!!

And Here she is!!! The Birthday Girl herself, Happy Birthday Sweet Heart xxx

Have a great week, Crafty Cuddles Jay xxx

A Little Bit of Vintage with Bohemian Peony Tilda

Hello Everyone, 

Here is a vintage style card that I have made featuring gorgeous 

Bohemian Peony Tilda, she is beautiful isnt she! I adored her from the moment I first saw her!

As I am sure you know, I have mixed roses from the ribbon girl, WOC and Berries and rolled roses from L&L crafts. 

The beautiful Lace on the bottom layer is from Jules House of Ribbons and the top Lace is from Live and Love Crafts, I also used a couple of tickets behind Tilda. They are elements from Pion paper also from the the same store. 

The chipboard double lamp light is from Scrap and Craft on line store.

I have coloured her with copics and distress inked the edges and frantaged the die cut frame in shabby beige.

A closer look at the beautiful florals and below I have used Gesso and DI's to age a brass heart frame with some ideology wording and one of my build a bees! 

I also hand cut the burgundy/brown border and die cut matching decorative elements.

Hope that you have a lovely week, its nearly the week end and you have lots of time to craft. 

Also pop over to Marvelous Magnolia Challenge, our theme is anything goes, cant get any easier than that!

Take care,

Masked Chic Fringe Tilda

Hello Everyone, 

Here is my card featuring Chic Fringe Tilda, masked with one of my Magnolia Backgrounds.

I thought that she would match the stone pathway background as the flower she is holding is very similar in shape.

All coloured with Copics and I have also used Joy Craft Dies for the grass and clouds.

As always, roses, apple blossoms and sweetheart blossoms are from WOC and beaded sprig, pink pearl trim and frosted berry are from L&L Crafts.

The chipboard happy birthday are from Unique Crafts. 

I dyed my own lace with several different greens, sorry that it isnt very obvious, all three papers are from my Wet Paint papers, they are absolutely gorgeous!!!

I think I must have used roughly 3 dozen copics colouring this image, but I really enjoy the colouring aspect the most, so I enjoyed doing it.

Have a great week and I hope that you have a sunny day where ever you are.

Romantic Bo Ho Tilda

Hiya Everyone,

My Gorgeous Florals are Mainly from WOC and a few from my stash with frosted berries from L&L Crafts. I have used a few of Joy Craft Dies and a Magnolia picture reel die at the top of the florals.

Sakura Tilda and Background

Hello Everyone, 

I hope that you are all well and looking forward to a crafty weekend!

As I always mention our weather here in the UK, today it is raining, yesterday was a mix of sun and rain and the day before was the same as today. So I have been inside a lot of the time and created this card for fun.

Here is a card featuring Sakura Tilda from the Sakura 2015 collection. My oriental background was especially stamped for me by my wonderful friend Yvonne. Thank you Yvonne :) xx

I have hand cut my card and the butterfly border and ornate border are both from Joy Craft.

I have coloured up the back ground with Prisma Pencils using the Low Odour Technique, melting the wax in layers to create shading. 

Tilda is coloured up using Copics.

My flowers are from WOC, as is the gorgeous bling in the middle of my Magnolia Doohickey. The gorgeous lace is from L&L Crafts and the beautiful ribbon rose trim (which is quite unusual, as it satin) and seam binding are from Jules House of Ribbons! I have used some Lilac Butterfly Magnolia paper for all of my die cuts and I hope you like it. 

Thank you so much for dropping by and have a fab weekend!
