The Day Before X-mas Stocking Tilda.

Good evening, crafty blogger's.

I hope you are well?

I have made another shaped Christmas card. This one is for my cousin in Canada.

 

 

I have made the shaped card with 300gsm white Conqueror card and GoKreate frilly frames #2.

The papers are called "Woodland Wishes" from Lili Of The Valley.

I have lightly sanded the edges of the papers.

The white doily and pretty lace are from Ebay.

I have die cut a Sizzix circle with Neenah cardstock and stamped The Day Before X~mas Stocking tilda onto it with "Rich Cocoa" Memento ink.

I have coloured The Day Before X-mas Stocking Tilda with Polychromos pencils and sprinkled Frantage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts around the image then I inked around the outside of the circle with Tim Holtz "tea dye" distress ink.

I die cut a Sizzix scalloped circle with Neenah cardstock and cut another with green paper. I matted them together then I adhered the image onto the scalloped circle and used sticky pads to place it to the centre of the card.

The sentiment is from Lili Of The Valley. I have stamped it onto Neenah cardstock with "rich cocoa" Memento ink and inked around the edges with "tea dye" distress ink.

I die cut a Spellbinders scalloped circle with green paper and adhered the sentiment onto it.

 

 

The poinsettia die is La-La Land. I have inked the edges with "Tea dye" distress ink and put a green brad through the centre.

My super bloggy friend sent me the die cuts and brad.

 

 I have attached silver plated curb chain and rings to hang the stocking charm from the back of the brad. The stocking charm is from The Ribbon Girl.

 

 

 

The trees and deer are Mariannes Design dies.

I have inked around the edges of the trees with "tea dye" distress ink and covered the trees with Snow~Tex from Live & Love Crafts.

I used shabby white embossing enamel to Frantage the deer.

 

 

 

For the flower arrangement I have used a 25mm olive green rose, 15mm dark red roses and 10mm white roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The 20mm white roses and Kort & Godt white chrysanthemums are from The Ribbon Girl.

The frosted berries are from Live & Love Crafts.

I have placed woodland branches between the arrangement inking the edges with "tea dye"

distress ink.

The woodland branch punch is Martha Stewart.

 

 

 

I have added ArtDeco glamour dust to the roses on Tilda's dress and dotted her cheeks with a Inkssentials opaque white pen.

 

 

 

Inside the card is decorated.

 

 

I hope you like my creation.

 

I am entering my card into the following super challenges;

Merry Christmas Tilda and A Cute Little Mailbox.

Good evening, crafty blogger's.

I have made a cute little mailbox featuring Merry Christmas Tilda from the new Winter Wonderland 2013 collection.

You can find the templates and video for the mailbox Here 

Last year I made the larger mailbox and made a tutorial which is picture heavy.

You can find my tutorial Here

I'm still on cloud 9! Lol!!!

Here is my cute little mailbox

 

I made the mailbox with 300gsm white Conqueror card.

The gorgeous papers are Magnolia "A Christmas Story" On Christmas Day.

I love the sentiment on the papers. It reads:

Tender Memories

Wake And Say

"Forget -Me- Not"

On Christmas Day

 

I have inked the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz "tea dye" distress ink and Frantaged  2 Sizzix On The Edge Snow Flurries die cuts by Tim Holtz with shabby white embossing enamel placing them between the papers each side on the front of the box.

The Frantage is from Live & Love Crafts

I used Neenah cardstock to die cut a Spellbinders beaded oval and stamped Merry Christmas Tilda onto it with Memento "rich cocoa" ink.

I coloured Tilda with Polychromos pencils and surrounded the image with Frantage shabby white embossing enamel.

I inked around the beaded oval with "tea dye" distress ink.

I die cut a Spellbinders floral oval and frantaged around the outside of the frame with shabby white embossing enamel placing the image onto the floral oval frame with sticky pads and adhered it to the centre of the box.

The poinsettias are Marianne Design and I inked the edges with "tea dye" distress ink.

The frosted berries in the centres are from Live & Love Crafts

The green pine branches are by Cheery Lynn and the white woodland branches are by Martha Stewart.

The snowflakes are Magnolia Doohickey. I have frantaged them with shabby white embossing enamel and placed a 5mm white pearl onto their centres.

The snowflake charm is from The Ribbon Girl

I have Frantaged the charm and hung it with some white cotton perle.

 

 

 

 

The sentiment is a freebie from Birdscards. I cut it out and matted onto a smaller Spellbinders floral oval and inked around the edges with "tea dye" distress ink.

The white rose organza trim is from Live & Love Crafts  and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

I used the pine branches, woodland branches and frosted berries for the arrangement too.

I have coated the arrangement with Snow-Tex from Live & Love Crafts

 

 

 

On each side of the mailbox I have placed magnolia Doohickey slender firs.

I inked the edges of the firs with "tea dye" distress ink and coated them with Snow-Tex.

 

 

 

 

A close up of adorable Merry Christmas Tilda.

I used ArtDeco Glamour Dust on Tilda's dress and dotted her cheeks with Inkssentials opaque white pen.

A Christmas Stocking & Some News!!!

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.

Oh, there's so much excitement in my house today.

In September I made a Christmas stocking to enter into Magnolia Ink's magazine contest and guess what? When the magazine arrived this morning I saw that I had won! Yes.................. I am  a winner!

I am so thrilled to have been picked.

It's the little things in life that make me happy and this really has. Lol!!!

The stocking template is from Sandra's Scrapshop.

I have used Woodware recycled card to make the stocking base and the papers are Maja Design

 "It's Christmas Time."

I used shabby white frantage from Live & Love Crafts onto Noor Designs "Winter Wishes" snowflake die cuts and placed them between the papers.

I inked the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz "tea dye" distress ink.

The pretty lace is from The Ribbon Girl

The slender firs and snowflakes are Magnolia Doohickey dies.

I have inked around the edges of the slender firs with tea dye distress ink and sprayed them with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle and added some Rangers icicle stickles to give snow effect.

I have frantaged the snowflakes with shabby white embossing enamel and place a 5mm white pearl onto each of them. The pearls are form The Ribbon Girl

I have hung the gold jingle bells from Cuddly Buddly with DMC N0 8 white cotton Perle.

I made the bow with 15mm white satin edged organza ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons and tied 2 jingle bells to the centre. The 15mm white rose above the bells is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Once I had placed Tilda With Little Rudolf onto the centre of the card with sticky pads I added 3mm pearls randomly around the scene.

I used Sizzix Bigz Tattered Poinsettia die cuts and inked the edges with tea dye distress ink. I coated the leaves with Ranger glossy accents and sprinkled them with Twinklets Diamomd Dust.

I coloured the stamens in the centre with a holly green Promarker.
