Anniversary Card

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share another card I made for my parents' 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary a few weeks ago.  I have used some gorgeous papers from the Maja Design Celebration paper collection and one of my favourite Stempelglede stamps from the Grunge Flourish Hearts Collection.

I embossed the Grunge Heart with gold embossing powder twice: onto white cardstock and onto vellum.  I cut out the centre heart from the vellum and have placed it over the top of the first.

 The paper lily of the valley was cut from an old paper from my stash and I have used added a few pretty flowers too.  I made the 50 myself with small half gems.

I added a seam binding bow and a resin Eiffel Tower along with some gorgeous deep lace from Craft Heaven.

The Happy Anniversary sentiment was cut from the bottom of the Maja Design paper.

The 'tickets' peeping out from beneath the lace were also cut from the Maja Design paper.

 I also added some cheesecloth and a doily from my stash for extra texture at the bottom of the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

1st birthday

Good morning,

 

today I have a card for you I made for my little niece. She turns ONE on Wednesday. Because she loves if something is moving, I made a shaker card for her.

I used an older Tilda for this card. I love Tilda as a clown but I thought that a big red nose is missing, so I added it =)

 

 

Tilda is coloured with my Distress Inks. The nose is finished with Glossy Accents from Ranger.

On the little bark heart I put on a 1 and finished it with Crackle Accents.

The pretty sentiment inside the shaker element is from Stempelglede and is called Have a beautiful Day.

 

All the pretty patterned papers are from Maja Design.

 

 

Hope you like this card. See you soon.

Le Cirque Collection

Good morning!  Today on the Craft Heaven Blog we're showcasing stamps from Magnolia's gorgeous Le Cirque Collection.  I've used the sweet Tilda Clown and Maja Design papers from the Sofiero Collection on my card.

I've painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added details to her cheeks and outfit with a white gel pen.

The gorgeous chipboard pieces are by Scrapiniec from the Mehendi Borders set and I've used the Sakura Lanterns Doohickey dies for the lanterns.

I've also used a star swirl from Doohickey Volume 9 as strings for the lanterns and some lace from Craft Heaven.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Spooky!

Good evening!  Our theme on the Craft Heaven Blog this week is Halloween/Spooky projects.  I have created a sugar skull shaped card and painted Wonderful Tilda from the You Are Invited collection with her face painted for Dia de Muertos.

I painted Tilda with Distress Inks as always, using the no lines technique.  I used Distress Inks and a fine black pen to create Tilda's face make-up, a white gel pen for the highlights in the flowers and eyes and a silver gel pen for the flower details on her dress.

 I used Doohickey dies to create the details on the sugar skull.  The heart nose is an off-cut heart from the heart tag from Volume 9 and a leaf Doohickey from Volume 9 to create the swirls near the nose and mouth.

The swirls on the forehead are actually the balloon string from the balloons Doohickey in Volume 5 and the heart is also from the heart tag.  The flowers around the eyes were cut with a flower Doohickey from Volume 6.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Pop over to the blog for more spooky ideas from the rest of the team.

Star Balloon Tilda

 Good evening!  I'm rather late posting this week's card for Craft Heaven: it's been one of those weeks!  I've used another gorgeous image from the Le Cirque Collection from Magnolia and some gorgeous papers from Maja Design.

I've painted Star Balloon Tilda with Distress Inks as always and added Stardust Stickles to her shoes, hat, dress and make-up and Glossy Accents to her balloon.

I have added some gorgeous lace from Craft Heaven and some pale pink roses.  The ribbons are from my stash.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  x

Two simple cards with Oxide Ink backgrounds

 Good morning,

 

today I have two simple cards I have created completly without patterned papers. I love to create backgrounds with the Distress Oxide Inks.

My first card was made for a lovely friend whos got married in September. I used the sweet Mrs and Mr Magnolia stamp from the You're invited collection. BTW... this stamp is on sale right now 😉

Have you seen the hearts behind the couple? This is the Small hearts Background from Scrapiniec.

 

 

 

And my second card I've made is a christmas card.  Yes, christmas is not far away and it's time for me to start with christmas card making 😃

I used a very old Magnolia snowman but he is the cutest I've ever seen.

Behind the little guy I put the Snowy Forest. This was one of the very first DooHickeys I bought with starting this hobby.

 

Hope you like both cards...

 

Have a nice weekend.

Bunny Love..

Good morning fellow crafters!

It's been a long time since I posted something on here but I'm happy to be finally able to share something new with you all..

Here is a super cute notebook for a very special young girl..

I think you all know how much I love Maja Design papers, but this time I decided to have a play with my other favourite paper brand: Pion Design..

I picked 2 sheets from the Where the Roses Grow collection (Rose Meadow & In the Garden) and matched them with the gorgeous Pion Design Palette Pink I and Pink II..

All the flowers on here are WOC except a few..

Creating scenes like this is one of the things I love the most..

I used an older Magnolia background stamp and two stamps from the SunBeam Collection 2018..

Tilda with Little Bunny and the Sunbeam Bunnies Kit..

I coloured the image with Distress Inks.. I use both, the ink pads and reinkers..

I always use a tiny bit of Distress Micro Glaze to seal and protect my images..

Here is a long and detailed list of the colours I used for this scene:

Skin:

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Hair:

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Cheeks:

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Pants:

Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Shirt:

Vitorian Velvet, Scattered Straw, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Bunnies:

Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke

Shoes:

Walnut Stain, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Greenery:

Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

There are lots of different layers on this cover..

A paper doily, multiple layers of paper, distressed and machine sewn.. Some lace, a bit of cheesecloth.. Tons of half-pearls..

I used one of the beautiful charms from the shop called Flower Basket..

Magnolia Doohickeys are one of my fave dies out there and I used quite a few for this project..

You can see the Jeans Tags on the top left corner, the Letter Tag on the right, both stamped all over with the Postcard and New York stamp sets..

The leaves that accompany the flower arrangements are from the Lilac set..

The hearts I scattered around are cut with the Heart Background Doohickey as well..

More Magnolia dies on the back of the notebook..

The little doily and the Old Swedish Lace..

The notebook is closed with a bit of white Vintage Seam Binding and I also tied a Pink Flower Pendant to that..

The love chipboard embellishment is a Scrapiniec piece of course..

There are more than 200 different designs to choose from in the shop but I felt this one was the missing detail on here..

If you are wondering what's all that sparkle on the hearts..

Easy.. The amazing Nuvo Drops.. These are Glitter Drops in the colour White Blizzard..

That's all for today folks..

I truly hope you enjoyed..

Thanks for stopping by!!

xoxo Tina

Join the Circus!

 Good morning!  Have you seen the new collection from Magnolia?  I am in love with them all!  I spent many happy hours over the weekend painting them all and here is my first card with one of them!  You will find the full collection at Craft Heaven.

 I painted Edwin Circus Manager with Distress Inks and added some dots to his cheeks with a white gel pen.  There was a large dot stamp in the kit which I have taken to be a juggling ball.  I added some foam balls in the same colours as the balls I have painted.

 The sentiment is also in the collection.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Pop over to the Craft Heaven blog for more ispiration from the rest of the team. x
