Tilda With Little Rudolf.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

I have made another Christmas card. This time featuring Tilda With Little Rudolf.

I just love this image.

 

I have used GoKreate large frilly frames #2 for the shape of the card with 300gsm white

Conqueror card.

I stamped Tilda With Little Rudolf onto Neenah card with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and cut the image out with a Spellbinders floral oval die. I have inked around the edges of the floral oval with

Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink.

The papers are Frosty Christmas from Lili Of The Valley. I have also inked around the edges of the papers with "Tea Dye" distress ink.

I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and surrounded it with shabby white Frantage embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts.

I have used  Tim Holtz On The Edge "Snowflurries" die, inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink and placed them in between the papers adding a 5mm blue pearl onto a couple of the snowflakes.

I have inked the bottom of a Magnolia Doohickey "Coffee Lattice" die with "Tea Dye" distress ink and adhered 25mm pale blue satin ribbon and lace from The Ribbon Girl.

My super bloggy friend sent me the "Coffee Lattice" die.

I used 2mm sticky pads to adhere the image and placed a piece of cheesecloth behind it.

The cheesecloth is from Ebay.

For the floral arrangement I have used a 25mm Antique blue rose, 15mm blue roses and 10mm white roses all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The white Kort & Godt rolled roses and white flower spray are from Live & Love Crafts.I have placed some woodland branches and a holly flourish between the arrangement.

The woodland branches are a Martha Stewart punch and the holly flourish die is Cheery Lynn.

The Memory Box Leaping Deer and La-La Land Heart Fence die cuts are from Dies To Die For.

 I have Frantaged them with shabby white embossing enamel.

Tracey always sends me a few of her die cuts whenever I place an order with her.

Lovely lady.

The snowflake in the right top corner is called snowflake 5 by Cheery Lynn.

I have inked the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink and added a 5mm blue pearl to the centre.

The sentiment is a freebie from Birdscards.com and I have inked around the edges with

 "Tea Dye" distress ink.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

 

 

I have used Snow-Tex from Live & Love Crafts on the flowers and branches and placed 5mm blue pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts onto each of the rolled roses.

Here is a close up of Tilda With Little Rudolf.

I have added ArtDeco Glamour Dust to Tilda's pom-pom, hat trim and waistcoat.

I used Glossy Accents 3D gloss on Rudolf's nose and dotted his and Tilda's cheeks with an

opaque white Inkssentials pen.

 

 

I hope you like my card?

Tilda With Candycone And A Shaped Card.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection.

 

 

I have made the shaped card using GoKreate large frame frilly #2 with

300gsm white Conqueror card.

 

The gorgeous papers are called Frosty Christmas from Lili Of The Valley.

I have coloured Tilda With Candycone with Polychromos pencils and sprayed the image with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle adhering three 5mm blue pearls in the top corner of the image.

 

The white doily is from Ebay and the pretty "Jessica" Guipure lace is from The Ribbon Girl.

 

I have used shabby blue Fran~tage on the Memory Box Flowering Christmas Tree die cut and added 3mm white pearls to the flowers.

The Flowering Christmas tree die is from Dies To Die For.

I have die cut a Cheery Lynn Snowflake 5 and sprayed it with Spray & Sparkle.

 

My super bloggy friend sent me some Twinklets Diamond Dust and beautiful brads.

I have removed the centre of a white Poinsettia and coated the petals with Glossy Accents. I then dipped the flower into Twinklets Diamond Dust and placed a blue brad through the centre.

I attached a silver plated jump ring onto the back of the brad with some silver plated 2mm curb chain and attached a snowflake charm from The Ribbon Girl with a jump ring and coated the Poinsetta and charm with Snow~Tex from Live & Love Crafts.

The chain and rings are from Ebay.

 

The flower arrangement consists of Kort & Godt chrysanthemum's and rolled roses from

 The Ribbon Girl.

25mm antique blue rose, 15mm pale blue roses and white gypsophila all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have punched and placed Martha Stewart Woodland Branches between the flower arrangement.

 

The sentiment is from Lili Of The Valley. 

 I inked the sentiment stamp with grey Memento ink and matted it onto a die cut Spellbinders scallop circle adding tiny blue rhinestones to some of the snowflakes

.

 

Inside the card has been decorated with the pretty papers to compliment the front.

Summer Wedding Tilda and a Sketch.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

I hope you are all well!

I just want to say thank you so much for the lovely comments I received last week.

 

Today I have made a card featuring Summer Wedding Tilda.

I have followed a sketch by Kirsty-Anne.

You can find this fabulous sketch over on The Sketchy Girls Challenge Blog.

 

Here is the sketch.

 

 

 

Here is my take on the sketch.

 

 

I made a 6"x6" card using 300gsm white Conqueror card.

 

The pretty papers are Maja Design Sofiero from Dies To Die For. I have inked the edges with Tim Holtz

"Spun Sugar" distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card.

I have stamped Summer Wedding Tilda onto  Neenah card with a Memento "Coffee" ink pad and cut her out with a Spellbinders floral oval frame.

I have coloured Tilda with Polychromos pencils and surrounded the image with Fran~tage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts. The edges of the frame have been inked with

"Spun Sugar" distress ink and I have added a white 3mm pearl to the top. bottom and sides of the floral frame.

For the flower arrangement I have used a 25mm light Ivory Tea Rose, 15mm white roses and white stamens all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The pink 20mm roses are from The Ribbon Girl and the pink poppies are from Live & Love Crafts.

I have hung a silver heart charm from the pink rose with 2mm silver plated curb chain attaching the charm with a silver plated jump ring.

The chain and jump rings are from Ebay and the charm is from The Ribbon Girl.

The die cut butterflies are Memory Box "Pippi." I have Fran~taged them with shabby white embossing enamel and coloured the centres with a pink Flexmarker.

I have Fran~taged a silver metal filigree corner with shabby white embossing enamel and placed it in the top left corner of the card.

The metal corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Magnolia wedding sentiment is stamped with "Coffee" Memento ink onto Neenah card, cut out and inked around the edges with "spun Sugar" distress ink.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated with Sofiero paper and a Spellbinders floral oval.

 

 

I have painted a little Snow~Tex from Live & Love Crafts onto the flowers and added a 5mm pink pearl to the centre of the larger rose.

 

 

Here is a close shot of Summer Wedding Tilda.

I have added ArtDeco Glamour Dust to the flowers in Tilda's hair and bouquet.

 I used Ranger white liquid pearls from Live & Love Crafts in among the bouquet and flowers in Tilda's hair.

Ski Edwin With Snowflakes.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

I am back again today with a Christmas card featuring

Ski Edwin With Snowflakes.

I have made a Triangle Joy Fold Card.

I found this fab tutorial for making the card HERE. 

 

 

 

I used 300gsm white Conqueror card for the base.

The papers that I have used are called Krafty Christmas from Lili Of The Valley.

I have inked the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and used a

Martha Stewart "Arch Lattice" edger punch for the border placing them to the inside and outer portion of the card. I have also inked the borders with "Tea Dye" distress ink.

 

I stamped Ski Edwin With Snowflakes with Memento black ink and coloured the image with Polychromos pencils.

 

I cut a couple of Cheery Lynn snowflake die cuts and inked around the edges with

"Tea Dye" distress ink adding a 5mm blue pearl to each of the centres.

 

I used a Martha Stewart Woodland branch punch to place among the flowers.

The flowers that I used are cream cherry blossom, a 25mm antique blue rose, 15mm blue roses and a 10mm white rose all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The beaded berries are from The Ribbon Girl.

 

I cut a length of 25mm blue satin ribbon from The Ribbon Girl to make the bow and attached a gold jingle bell from Cuddly Buddly to the centre with some cotton.

The white metal vintage corner is from Live & Love Crafts.

 

The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly. I have coloured the snowflakes and added a tiny blue rhinestone to each of the centres.

Baby Tilda.

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

I hope you are all well!

Today I have made a shaped card featuring Baby Tilda.

 

 

I have cut out the shaped card and papers with  GoKreate large frames frilly #2.

The papers that I have used are Maja Designs Sofiero. I have inked the edges of the papers with

Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink.

 

I used Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink to stamp Baby Tilda onto a Spellbinders floral oval and coloured her with Polychromos pencils.

 

The floral oval has been inked around the edges with Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink and I have surrounded the image with Fran~tage shabby pink embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts. I added 5mm pink pearls from The Ribbon Girl to the frame at the top, bottom and sides.

I have inked around the edges of a doily with "Spun Sugar" distress ink and adhered it to the top left of the card.

The pretty lace is called Venice rose lace from Live & Love Crafts.

For the flower arrangement I used white daisies which I have Fran~taged with shabby pink embossing enamel and 20mm pink roses both from The Ribbon Girl.

The Magnolia pink beaded berries are from Crafts U Love and the white stamens are from

Wild Orchid Crafts.

The pink poppies are from Live & Love Crafts.

I have attached a pink brad to the centre of the Fran~taged daisy to the left of the card and hung some 2mm silver chain with jump rings from Ebay. I placed a silver dummy charm from The Ribbon Girl through the bottom ring closing with it some long nosed jewellery pliers.

The Memory Box Pippi butterfly has been Frantaged with shabby pink embossing enamel and I have coloured the centre with a pink Flexmarker.

 

 

I have Fran~taged a silver metal filigree corner from Wild Orchid Crafts with shabby pink embossing enamel and adhered it to the right corner of the card.

I placed the sentiment which is I freebie from Colette at Digi-re-doo-dah onto a Magnolia Doohickey Jolly tag and added some Shabby pink Fran~tage to each corner inking around the edges of the tag with

"Spun Sugar" distress ink.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated to compliment the front.

 

 

A close up of Baby Tilda.

Bubbling Tilda with my favourite things.

Good evening, crafty bloggers.

I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine!

I have made a Birthday card for a very special friend featuring

Bubbling Tilda with my favourite things that I love to use on my cards.

 

 

This card is 8"x8" square. Bigger than my usual 6"x6" cards.

I have stamped Bubbling Tilda onto Neenah cardstock with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and coloured her with Polychromos pencils surrounding the image with shabby white Fran~tage.

The Fran~tage is from Live & Love Crafts.

 

I have used the new Maja Design Sofiero papers from Dies To Die For.  They are beautiful.

 

I have inked the edges of Woodware recycled card with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and

matted the papers onto the card.

 

The doily that I have used was given to me by a restaurant owner. Hubby and I had a meal one year for our anniversary and I managed to get my hands on a few. This is the first time I have used one as I think they are a bit too big for a 6"x6" card.

What a lovely lady.

 

I used Tim Holtz Butterflight die to cut some recycled card and positioned it onto the card then I cut another with white card, cut out the butterflies and Fran~taged them with shabby white embossing enamel adding 5mm pink pearls to the centres.

 

The pretty lace and 5mm pink pearls are from The Ribbon Girl.

The rose organza trim is from Live & Love Crafts.

 

I printed the sentiment which is a freebie from Desert Diva and used a smaller Spellbinders floral oval die to cut it out surrounding the sentiment with shabby white Fran~tage and inked the edges with Tim Holtz "Spun Sugar" distress ink.

 

 

I have used a Doohickey Butterfly die which my super bloggy friend sent me and Fran~taged it with shabby white embossing enamel adding a 20mm pink rose to the centre.

 

 

I have used a selection of flowers for the arrangement.

The white daisies which I have Fran~taged and the 20mm pink roses are from The Ribbon Girl.

The pink poppies are from Live & Love Crafts.

 

The Magnolia pink beaded berries are from Crafts U Love and the white stamens are from

Wild Orchid Crafts.

 

I have Fran~taged a Memory Box Pippi butterfly and coloured the centre with a pale pink Flexmarker.

 

 

A close up of Bubbling Tilda.

I have added DecoArt Glamour Dust to Tilda's wings and used Ranger Glossy Accents

on the bubbles.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated with Maja Design Sofiero paper.

 

 

I hope you like my creation!

 

 

 

I am entering my card into the following super challenges:

MDUC. Challenge 207 Camilla's choice. Your Favourite Things. ( Lace, flowers, Fran~tage and butterfly die cuts.)
