Lilly Christmas 2020 n°5

 Hello everyone,

I stay in the blue and in this fabulous collection of papers from Maja Design: "Holiday in the Alps" with a small window card inspired by Jane ;) I used the "Lantern Tilda" stamp from the Christmas 2020 collection (whose hair I cut to make a boy)

Having not yet had the chance to get myself the new "Poinsettia" die of Magnolia before everyone threw themselves on it (it must be said that it looks reeeaally beautiful), I took out the old one and got myself. I have tried the technique of modeling flowers in Foamiran.

Come on, make way for the photos:

Lilly Christmas 2020 n°4

 Hello everyone,

A little card that's a little different today: being much more used to tags or square cards, I wanted to try out the big trend of the moment: the slimline!

My card therefore measures 19.5 x 11.5 cm and the staging is done thanks to the superb papers from the "Holiday in the Alps" collection by Maja Design.

In order to bring a little contrast, I cut the card in half by sticking a pretty red ribbon reminiscent of the one the little bear wears around its neck;)

I hope that pleases you !

Kisses, Lilly

Santa Tilda Shaker Card

 

 

I'm making good progress with my Christmas cards this year and have this shaker card to share with you today using the cute Santa Tilda from Magnolia.  I have used Maja Design papers from the Joyous Winterdays Collection.

As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have added Stardust Stickles to her gloves and hat tassle.

Inside the shaker I have used the Snowy Forest Doohickey and the winter scene from Doohickey Volume 7 layered in front of it.  I have used some fake snow from my stash inside the shaker.

The 'Let it Snow!' sentiment is from the I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas Holiday Pop Up stamp set.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lilly Christmas 2020 n°3

 Hi everyone,

I'm back today with this little Tilda from the new "Magnolia Christmas 2020" collection.

As she holds an English telephone booth in her hand, I wanted to create a suitable setting for her. So I searched the internet for a sketch of Big Ben and printed it out on special paper so I could color it at the Copics.

I really like the result! I let you discover the photos ...

Snow Angel Card

Good afternoon!  I'm excited to show you today's Christmas card that I have made to give to my daughter this year.  As soon as I saw the image of Tilda making a snow angel I wanted to see if I could make her actually make snow angel movements.  

The card base was cut with the Heartfelt Doohickey die and the papers are by Maja Design and the silver glitter card is from my stash - I recycled it from some Christmas crackers!

As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have added Stardust Stickles to the snowflake on her trousers.

I have used the background snowflake Doohickey die from the Aspen Holidays collection by Magnolia behind the image and coated it in Stickles too.   I have also used the snowy forest Doohickey but have cut the row of trees in half and layered them up.  The blossoms are from Craft Heaven and the 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas' sentiment comes with Tilda in the stamp set of the same name.

The smaller snowflakes were cut with the snowflake Doohickeys from the Cocoa Tilda Stamp n Cutz set and the hearts in the centres are off cuts from the large snowflake die.  The 'Daughter' was cut with a die from my stash.

Here's a little video clip showing Tilda making her snow angel!

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.  Stay safe!

Lilly Christmas 2020 n°2

Hello everyone,

Between two Halloween cards, I also had fun with the new collection of Christmas Tilda 2020 which, as usual, are as cute as each other.

So make way for this little doll and her gingerbread house.

Kisses, Lilly

(I haven't completely put my pumpkins away so keep an eye out, 2 or 3 little witches might come by again!)

 

Lilly Christmas 2020 n°1

Hello everyone,

In a little over two months, it's ... it's ?? Christmas !! And yes !!

So I'm starting my 2020 greeting card series with this pretty doll who is patiently waiting for Santa Claus on her swing (she comes from an old collection but I still love her so much!). Snow atmosphere guaranteed with this series of Maja Design "Holiday in the Alps" papers, perfect for the occasion.

Kisses

Dashing Through the Snow...

Good morning!  I have another Christmas card using the Magnolia Christmas Pop Up box, this time from the Dashing Through the Snow Collection. 

As always, I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks.  I have used some Aleene's Glitter Snow underneath her feet and to add the snowdrops around her.  It is difficult to see on the photo but it has a lovely soft shimmer to it.  I have used A New Year paper from Maja's Holiday in the Alps collection.

 I have used the Slender Firs Doohickey for the trees and three different Magnolia snowflake Doohickey dies for the snowflakes behind the image.

I used the Dashing Through the Snow sentiment from the set but cut each word out to stagger them on my card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Nutcracker Christmas Card

Today I have a special card to show you that I have created to give to my daughter this Christmas using gorgeous Christmas papers from Maja Design's Christmas Season collection: Deck the Halls and Vintage Red Light.  I have adorned the 'belly band' with some pretty vintage seam binding and a snowflake charm from Craft Heaven.

Remove the 'belly band' and we glimpse the hint of a snow scene created with Magnolia Doohickey dies.  What could be waiting for us inside?

The Nutcracker ballet!

Here is the full scene of the Sugar Plum fairy dancing while the Nutcracker looks on.  I have added sweet gingerbread houses, glittery trees and snowflakes to create the magical land of sweets!

As always I have painted the images with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  My Sugar Plum fairy is Spellbound Tilda from the Spellbound Kit.  I removed her ice-skate by removing the ink from that part of the stamp before stamping so that she is a ballerina.  For the Nutcracker I have used Tilda from the Christmas Party Collection.  I have added tiny star shaped gems from my stash around the pair.

I have used the Theatre Curtain from the Once Upon a Time Collection to frame the 'stage'.  To get the opposite curtain I have reverse stamped it.  The curtains are also painted with Distress Inks.

I have used the Tim Holtz Pine Tree die to cut the large, glittery tree and Doohickeys for the rest of the scene.  The snowflakes are from Doohickey Volume 23.  I have added Stardust Stickles to the snow on the gingerbread houses and the white trees.

 The large snowflakes on the front are from Vintage Box Volume 4.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  To discover more projects using the gorgeous Maja Design Christmas papers pop over to the Craft Heaven Blog.

Poinsettia Tilda..

Hello dear Craft Heaven Shop lovers!

Tina here..

This card may come as a surprise to you as I'm usually not this early with my Christmas makes, but I guess it doesn't hurt to make some a bit in advance.. LOL!

I had to have a play with some Maja Design papers..
The new collection Denim & Girls is already available in store but I chose the I Wish Collection for this..
There will be plenty of time to play with all the others too.. I hope..

The card's base is made with a GoKreate die - the biggest one of the Large Frames Frilly #5..

The smaller frame frame under the snowflake is a Magnolia Doohickey from the Vintage Square set..

 Here is my beloved Poinsettia Tilda from the Aspen Holidays Collection 2016..

I paired her with a sentiment from that same collection..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink and I coloured her with Distress Inks..

I combine both, ink pads and reinkers..

I also used my sewing machine as you can see..

I always feel a project isn't really finished if I don't add a stitch or two..

Here are some close-ups..

I've used quite a few doilies, some cheesecloth, even some corrugated cardboard that I covered with Gesso to tone it down a bit..

There's a Bark Heart with a little WOC rose on top..

A gorgeous and very sparkly button, some lace..

And let's not forget the Snowflurry Background Doohickey..

I used it on the front and on the inside..

The top one consists of three layers.. It was a nasty job, I tell you, but I really wanted it to be sturdy so it won't break that easily..

The inside circles are made with Spellbinders dies..

One Standard Circle Large and a Petite Scalloped Circle Large..

The one on the back is from the Triple Tear set..

Just gorgeous..

There are lots of half-pearls on the front and back as well..

The dots around her are white Frantage embossing powder.. 

The layer behind the stamped image is made out of Bazzill Classic 12x12 Kraft..

My absolute favourite when it comes to kraft paper..

The snowflakes are cut out of Bazzill Cardstock as well.. That's the Bazzill Mono Canvas 12x12 in white..

Also a favourite of mine..

Well that's all.. For now..

I really hope you enjoyed your stay, got inspired and learned something new!
Stay tuned.. I have another project coming up very very soon..

xoxo

Tina
