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.

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.

Tilda Throws Away Hearts

 Good morning!  Today I'd like to share my card for the Craft Heaven blog using papers from Maja Design and the sweet Tilda Throws Away Hearts from Magnolia.  The card shape was cut with a Doohickey frame die from Vintage Box 5.

 I painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique as always.  I've added some lace details to her dress using a white gel pen.

 The sentiment is from the Stempelglede Just a Note stamp set.  The butterflies were cut with a Martha Stewart punch and the rose and the flowers were cut with Doohickey dies.

I also added some lace and a chipboard piece from Craft Heaven along with some button twine and a white and pink rose.  The flowers were made from ecru foamiran and pink stamens. 

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at Craft Heaven for this month's challenge.  Pop over to the blog for more inspiration.

Thanks for looking! x

Home sweet Home

Good morning,

 

today I have a special Project for you to show.

My little sister moved in her new house some weeks ago. Last weekend she made the inauguration party and I wanted to give her something for her entry door.

I cut out the silhouette of that house with my Silhouette cameo. The patterned papers are from Maja Design.

 

 

Look at this pretty window. Isn't it sweet?

The cute Tilda is called My own Key Tilda and is from Magnolias You are invited Collection. She is so cute with the big key and her lovely clothing.

As usuall I coloured her with Distress Inks.

 

The sentiment also is from the You are invited Collection and part of the set called Home sweet Home kit.

 

I used some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the Lovely Fence.  Also the grass border is a cutting die from Magnolia.

 

Have a nice weekend.

My list supplies:

Little mermaid Tilda

Welcome back,

today I have a new Magnolia card to share. I loved mermaids since I was a little child. Always today I like them very much. So I felt in love with this little darling.

She is from the You are Invited collection and called A Fish kisses to Tilda.

I coloured her with my Distress Ink.

I used different patterned papers from Majas Denim and Friends collection. There are so pretty blue shades; perfect for water themed cards.

I added some die cuts from Magnolias first Doohickey box. They are perfect for this kind of cards.

 The two tags on the right are movable. They are still empty but when I want to give the card to someone I will add the sentiments.

Now I hope you like this card and maybe leave a nice comment =)

Home Sweet Home

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share a 'New Home' card featuring the super cute My Own Key Tilda from the You Are Invited collection.  The gorgeous papers I've used are all from Maja Design's new Celebration collection.

 As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I've also added dots to her cheeks and top with a white gel pen.  I have used two different post mark stamps from Magnolia on the edges of the image.

 I've used lots of Doohickey dies on my card.  This gorgeous sign from kit 4, Le Jardin seemed perfect to use as a for sale/sold sign, but now it says Home Sweet Home instead of sold!  Notice the two colour stamping on the sentiment?  Yes, I couldn't resist using my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform again!  I've added some tiny pearls over the stamped screw heads.

 How cute is the little key and house key fob?  I've joined them with some blue twine.  I've also given the lock some pearl 'screws'.  All three Doohickeys are from the You are Invited collection too.

 I created a little envelope with the medium Vintage Photo Frame Doohickey and popped a resin rose from Craft Heave on the flap.

 The window from Doohickey kit 4 also came in handy for this house themed card!

 I've used my favourite Bloomy Tag Doohickey and added white seam binding.

 Hanging from the tag is the House Tag Doohickey and a key Doohickey from last year's Advent Calendar.

 I used the cut out bricks from the House Tag to add extra interest to the house!

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at Craft Heaven this month.  Thanks for looking! x

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good morning and happy Valentine's Day.  To celebrate I made this Valentine's card with the gorgeous Love Typewriter Doohickey as the main feature and papers from Maja Design's new collection - Celebration.  I used the Magnolia Doily Doohickey to create the shape of the card.

I cut the typewriter from black cardstock and added details with a gold pen.  The letter and hearts were cut from white cardstock and I inked the hearts with Festive Berries Distress Ink.

I have propped the typewriter and letter on 3D pads for extra dimension.

On the base of the easel card I have stamped the Roses are Red Text from the You Are Invited Collection.

I added some pale pink roses and a black Prima flower along with some crystal stems from Magnolia.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Tilda Throws Away Hearts

Good morning!  I have another card to share on the Craft Heaven blog today.  Continuing our love theme that we have for our challenge this month, I made a card with Tilda Throws Away Hearts from the 'You are Invited' collection.  I have also used lots of scrumptious papers from the new Maja Design collection - Celebration.

 As soon as I saw this Tilda I knew I wanted to paint her black and white and the hearts red.  I love this effect on photographs.  I have used just two colours of Distress Inks to paint her - Black Soot and Aged Mahogany.

 I have used several Doohickey dies that feature hearts to continue the heart theme throughout the card.  I have also popped a little Scrapiniec chipboard heart on there.

 I couldn't resist adding the amazing Eiffel Tower Doohickey, also cut from the Maja papers.

 I have used some of the off cut hearts from the tags to decorate the card and ribbon from my stash for the tags.

 The gorgeous lace is also from Craft Heaven.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  x
