She is one of my favourite stamps, and I just love making the bees.
You can see their glittery wings a bit better in this photo.
I dotted Tilda's eyes, and cheeks using a white jelly roll pen.

Swedish House Crafts DT - Sunbathe Tilda Gift Box


Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I'm  here as well as on Swedish House Crafts blog today with a gift box that I have made following my Team mate Tamara's tutorial which can be found HERE on Tamara's blog.

So Summer is finally upon us in the UK. That is what gave me the inspiration to make my gift box Summer themed.



I used the blue papers from Maja Design Summertime 6" x 6" pad to decorate the box.

Links to the products are in text, and can be found at the end of my post.



The above photo shows the top of the box.



I coloured Sunbathe Tilda with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils, and die cut the image using Gummiapan nesting stitched squares.

I die cut another two stitched squares, one with Maja Summertime papers, and the other with plain white cardstock, and matted them onto each other.
I matted the image onto the patterned square using 2mm foam tape.



I die cut the flowers, and the umbrella using Magnolia Doohickey Sakura flowers & umbrella dies. 
Once I had assembled the flowers, I adhered the stamens in the centre.

The moss in between the flowers, and the silver coloured cocktail glass charm are from my stash!


I die cut Doohickey nautical anchor, and adhered a length of twine from my stash to it.


The sentiment is from my stash!

The nautical 3D pinwheel is Doohickey. I had great fun making it. I used a brad from my stash to secure the centre.

The tiny butterfly is from Laserowe. There are 9 various sized chipboard butterflies included in the set.

The tiny white pearl flatbacks are from my stash!


When opened out, the inside reveals a box to hold a small gift or even some chocolates?


Than you for stopping by today!

Lots of big crafty hugs xx

Swedish House Crafts DT - Story Cake Wedding

Hello. lovely blogger friend's.
I'm here as well as on the Swedish House Crafts blog today. 
This time I have made a wedding card using the gorgeous Gummiapan Story Cake with Glasing die. It is one of my favourite Gummiapan dies.

Links to the products used from Swedish House crafts store are in text, and can be found at the end of my post.


For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5.
The purple papers are from my stash! The other papers that I used are Maja Design Sofiero.
Other dies used are; Marianne Design clock, and Ivy circle.
Gummiapan story cake with glasing, pierced scalloped circles, and wedding sentiment.
Doohickey wrapped so lovely, and cheery Lynn French pastry doily.

The pretty lace is from my stash!


I die cut a Gummiapan pierced scalloped circle, and stamped it with Gummiapan angelpost stamp.
Then I die cut Gummiapan story cake with glasing using Sofiero papers, and matted it onto the centre of the circle with foam tape, layering the tiers with 2mm foam tape.

I decorated the top of the cake with small mulberry flowers, trailing them down the side of the first tier. The 3mm purple pearls that I have adhered to each of the daisy centres are from my stash!
The lovely tiny butterflies are included in the story cake with glasing set of dies.


To give the sentiment the illusion that it was floating off the card I cut the Gummiapan wedding sentiment and adhered it to a piece of clear acetate. Then I cut around the sentiment, and adhered a strip of acetate folded in half to the back of it using permanent clear glue dots. It looks great. I got the idea from my crafty friend Tammy!


I placed a wrapped so lovely tag behind the scalloped circle.
The flowers, seam binding, decorative pins, charm, and resin cherub are from my stash!


The clock dies are from my stash! The hands of the clock are set to 3.30pm - the time of the wedding.


Inside the card is decorated to complement the front.
