Miracle Love Tilda x


Good Afternoon,

I am back today with another Tilda that has been hiding away in my craft room drawer! He he!

This adorable Tilda is called Miracle Love Tilda!!

I have coloured her with copics and added a little stickles to her wings.


There is a section of white Prima pearl decoration beside the image and I have used alot of other pink pearls throughout my card. I made the little clay bird house myself and this lace is certainly turning out to be a favourite of mine.


I absolutely LOVE this Ribbon, I bought it from the Ribbon Girl a while ago. It makes such beautiful bows and the floral pearl trim at the top of the lace is from there too!


I just couldn't bear to cove up the lace and papers, with a tag or similar, I think they are very pretty on their own. All flowers are of course woc and I have used some pretty sparkly berries available here at Jules ebay shop. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and please don't forget to enter your own floral cards over at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge, link at the top of this page!

Mothers Day Card - No Magnolia from me today!!!


 Happy Mothers Day to everyone in the UK and also everyone celebrating Mothers Day anywhere else in the world!

My family all went for a meal today to celebrate and here is my mums card that I made for her.


I usually make a Tilda card, but thought that I would do something a little different today and she loves it!


I've used a mix of papers, Lemon craft papers and Magnolia Papers on the front of the card, with a few from my crafty stash and Magnolia paper to line the inside.


These are WOC 40mm Trellis Roses. I used two cream ones. One I dyed pink and added a bit of an accent around the petals and the other one I covered the edges of the the petals with Diamond Dust. The red flower was originally terracotta, but I dyed it red/burgundy.

My mum loves it and that is what is important today, she will be adding it her FB later he he!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Rose Cake Tilda Card for Fun

Good Afternoon 

I have been making this card over the last couple of days. 
I absolutely adore Rose cake Tilda and just couldn't wait until popped through my letter box!




My central paper is one of the one of new Easter papers from Pion design and this one is called Cherry Tree.  Tilda is so adorable and I have coloured her with copics and added a little frantage around the edges.


This is a brass metal butterfly, I painted it with gesso, distressed with DI's and added a few pearls, it is available and craft heaven shop.


I haven't used my chipboard happy birthday embellies for a while, so it was time to get them out of their drawer he he! All the leaves are die cut from DP too.


I absolutely adore the new release Magnolia chicken wire die and I have cut mine from DP!

Have a great day and don't forget you have one more week to enter our challenge at LHOSM challenge with the easy peasy theme being Hearts of any kind.

Tilda in knee socks girly card

Good afternoon everyone

I hope that you all had a good weekend, mine was a bit up and down with one thing or another.

Here is a card that I made using Tilda in knee socks one of my favourite oldies, that I have fished out of my stamps draw. I coloured with DI's for a change, the pictures arent too good, the hair and face colour aren't showing up too well, which is a shame, but I am pleased with the actual card.





I used alot of die cuts, many cut from DPs and a hand made faux pearl pin and my frame at the top too. With some Tim Holtz wording.



As is becoming usual for me, I hand dyed my seam binding in VV DI to match the card and dyed the gorgeous lace too. 
I added a  few of the little heart that were excess die cuts from my La La Land doily die and the gorgeous roses and deep pink floral spray are WOC from Craft Heaven Shop.


The tag has a build a bee cut from DP from my La La Land die too and is held in place by a little envelope behing the flowers and image.

Have a great week,

Christmas heart Tilda card

Hiya Everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying your weekend so far!

Here is a card I have made using Christmas heart Tilda, I bought her around Christmas and she has been sitting in my draw sadly neglected. How many of us have stamps that have suffered the same fate he he!

I used my new Tattered lace dies that my lovely hubby bought me for Christmas for the card shape and I have tried something a little different with a layered card for a change.

Ive used this gorgeous pansy paper from Maja for most of the elements and also stamped an extra Magnolia heart on the DP and cut it out and added it to the picture.  

 The middle of the metal heart shaped frame on the base of the card is also inlaid with the same paper too and I cut out the bridal bow from the same.

Hand dyed lace and frame.


I also cut some leaves from the same paper and shaded with DI and Gesso.


I also crafted the clay butterflies and little bird at the top of the card too and dyed my own seam binding.

Thanks for stopping by today before you go please 
pop over and join our challenge at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge, the theme this month is hearts.

 Please pop by in a week for our mid month challenge inspiration too!!

 Have a great day

Card Made For Fun!

Hiya Everyone,

I made this card over the quiet times during the holidays!

I am in love with this gorgeous Tilda picking Olives, I think it is because my husband and myself have had some lovely holidays in Greece, Zante to be exact. Our hotel was mostly surrounded by olive groves and a peaceful place to take a morning stroll!

While I am here, I would also like to remind everyone about our DT CALL @ LOVELY HANGLAR OR SWEET MAGNOLIA CHALLENGE. 
You have until Friday 8th January at 5.30pm GMT to take part!

Here is my card...

I have masked Tilda with the main section of the stone path background!


I have coloured her with Copics and all my papers are Pion and Maja design. I used the raspberry paper to make hand cut my paper bow, to keep in with the food theme lol!


I dyed my own seam binding, wrapped them around my Maja so wrapped up doohickey and attached a little well charm. I  have used a gorgeous selection of Florals from WOC and Craft Heaven Shop! The stunning lace is available here.

Thank you stopping by today, dont forget to pop over and join in our DT Call, you dont even have to make a card to do so!
