Diamond wedding

Hello Everyone,

No card today, and no coloring either (it's extremely rare) but a pretty explosion box made for a rather special birthday since we celebrated the diamond wedding anniversary of my in-laws (don't go on Google on purpose, that's 60 years of marriage!)

I cut my box and its cover in smooth white bazzil which I then covered with very pretty printed papers from the "Miles Apart" collection by Maja Design.

I cut the leaves from printed paper, crumpled with my fingers for a more natural effect.

I then made the flowers in white Foamiran slightly heated with an iron and just curved with the "ball" tool without handling by hand to thin it.

For the interior, I used the superb "3D Cake" die created by Lady E Design, embellished with some mini roses and a strip of craft paper cut with an Ek Success punch.

As a basis for my decoration, I used the round and square Crea-Nest-Lies scalloped dies.

Well, that's all for today !

Kisses

Wrinkles Don't Hurt

Good evening!  I have a fun new Magnolia image and sentiment set to show you on today's card from the Laundry Collection for Craft Heaven.  The papers are from Reprint's Love and Romance collection.

I have painted Ironing Tilda with Distress Inks and added Stardust Stickles to her ironing and her hair ribbon.

The cute coat hangers are by Laserowe and I have made the dress using the baby's romper Doohickey die - I have simply cut off the leg section.  The seam binding I have used for the scarf is from Craft Heaven.  The sentiment has been stamped onto a tag cut with the Woodland Tag Doohickey die.

I have added another hanger and some flowers from Craft Heaven on the other side of the image.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Birthday Pop Up Box

Good morning!  Today I want to share the birthday card I made for my daughter's birthday.  She loves these pop up boxes so of course I had to make one bursting with sweet Tildas!  The papers are mostly from Maja Design's Miles Apart Collection and a few scraps from the Sofiero Collection.  The flowers and stunning crown button are all from Craft Heaven.

I have used lots of Doohickey dies from Volumes 5 and 14.  The cute cupcakes from Volume 14 have been topped with lilac roses.

All of the Tildas are from the Lovely Collection and are painted with Distress Inks.  This one is Tilda...

...this one is Loooving Tilda...

... and this one is O'Birthday Tilda.

The gorgeous balloons are from Volume 5.

The numbers Tilda is holding are from my stash, painted with crackle paint and then waxed with prima wax.

At the back of the card I have used the three tiered cake from Volume 5.

On the back of the box I have used the heart from Volume 5 to create a space for a message.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Flower Bike Tilda

Good afternoon!  Today I have made a gatefold scene card using the gorgeous Flower Bike Tilda from Magnolia's Lovely Collection.  The papers are all from Maja Design, the green is Monochromes, Shades of Winterdays, Moss Green and the pink is from the Little Street Cafe Collection.

This is what the card looks like when you open the first 'gate' of the card.  I have used the fence and hill Doohickey from Doohickey Volume 6 to create the little fence scenes on each side.  I have also used the tree and blossoms from Doohickey Volume 22.

This is the card fully open.  The cute clouds were cut with a die from Volume 25 and I have used the Doily Edge Doohickey for the top of the card.

As always, I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks. 

I have used one of the Woodland Tags for the sentiment and rearranged the Have a Lovely Day sentiment by masking parts of the stamp so that it fitted in the heart.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Have a Lovely Day

Good morning!  At last I am back with a new card.  I love this image from Magnolia, Flowery Tilda.  It makes me think of lovely spring and summer days having picnics.  The papers are from Reprint's Love and Romance Collection, this one has such a pretty pale green leaf pattern on it.  The gorgeous chipboard piece is by Lawerowe.  I love how these chipboard pieces give instant wow factor to projects.

As always, I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks.  I have stamped around the edges of the image mat with some postmark stamps from Magnolia.

The sentiment is from the Bunch of Lovely Sentiments set from Magnolia's Lovely Collection, stamped onto green paper from Pion Design.

I have painted the edges of the card with white Gesso to add a vintage look.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

LadyBug Tilda

 

Good morning!  Today I have a card to share using papers from Maja Design's Miles Apart Collection and another cutie from the Fluttering Butterfly Collection by Magnolia.

I have painted LadyBug Tilda with Distress Inks as always.  I have also used the sentiment from Spread Your Wings Tilda and the dandelion seedheads from Spread Your Wings and Flying By Tildas.

I have used the Angel Wing and Orchids Doohickey dies and the small butterfly from the Butterfly Dream Doohickey Die set.

I have also added lace and flowers from Craft Heaven to complete the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Lantern Tilda

Good afternoon!  I am back with another Christmas card to show you using Lantern Tilda by Magnolia, Magnolia Doohickeys and Maja Design papers.

As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have added some Stardust stickles to the snow flakes and lantern light.   The card shape was cut with the frame die from Magnolia Vintage Box 4.

I have used the Slender Firs Doohickey, So Wrapped Merry Christmas tag and So Wrapped Snowflake tag along with cherry blossoms and roses.  The deer is from Magnolia Vintage Box 6.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

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!
