Masquerade Tilda - A New Challenge At LHOSM

Hello, lovely blogger friends.

It's hard to believe that we are in March already.

Spring will soon be upon us! My favourite season of the year.

It's time again for another monthly challenge over on Lovely Haenglar or Sweet Magnoila

 challenge blog.

Our challenge theme is......................ANYTHING GOES

Our wonderful sponsor is Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have made a Birthday card.

I used Masquerade Tilda from Magnolia You are Invited 2018 collection.

The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock.

I coloured the image with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils, and fussy cut around her.

For the shape of my card I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5, and Maja Design Celebrate papers.

Other dies used are; Cherry Lynn French pastry doily, and Sophia's heart doily.

Marianne Design clock, and English roses, Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tag, 

Doohickey masquerade mask.

Gummiapan Hens Net Magnolia Doohickey Window Heart 

The pretty lace is from my stash!

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

I stamped the sentiment onto white card, and used the heart window die as a template to cut around it

I die cut Doohickey window heart with design paper, and positioned the sentiment behind it.

I dotted Tilda's cheeks, and eyes with a white gelly roll pen.

A close up of the rolled roses that I made using Marianne Design English rose die.

The tiny sparkly glass hearts are from my stash!

Featured in Making Cards Magazine - March 2018 Issue for Swedish House Crafts

Exciting news!!! 

I have been published in Making Cards magazine March 2018 issue, which is on sale now.

I am also featured on Swedish House Crafts HERE

I absolutely love using Gummiapan, and Roxstamps dies along with Maja Design Sofiero, and Monochromes papers.

 I decided to design a 50th Birthday card using many of the great quality, and versatile metal dies.

Here is my card titled Fabulous at 50.

Of course you don't have to make the card to celebrate a 50th Birthday. You can change number using the Gummiapan Anniversary numbers for any age or anniversary celebration.

Maybe you remember this Story cake glasing die in store maybe or on Hochanda?

It is one of the most beautiful detailed cake dies. The little butterflies are included with the cake die.

I also used tons of paper flowers using both sets of Gummiapan flower dies.

Here you can see one of the most popular sold Roxstamps dies, the heart wreath die.

I've used this die loads of times on my cards. I love to embellish it with pearls and layer the hearts by making them look 3D.

Here is the magazine cover where my beautiful lady boss, and store owner Suha got featured while the cake is visible in the layering technique.

My cake on the cover, and Suha's beautiful face!

And my featured step by step on how I made the card.

I am so excited about my 1st publication for Swedish House Crafts, and all of us girls on the design team are looking forward for much more in the future!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you like what I have shared here with you today.

Swedish House Crafts - Bunny Tilda card

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.

I'm here with my DT card for Swedish House Crafts.

I have made a pink card featuring 2 Magnolia mini world stamps.

Floral Background, and Bunny Tilda.

The mini stamps come unmounted. You will need to mount them onto a sheet of EZ Mount prior to stamping them on you card/paper.

The pink design papers that I used are from the new collection of Maja called Celebration.

The mini stamps were so easy to colour, what with being small, but I really enjoyed colouring them with my Polychromos pencils.

The pink design papers that I used are from the new collection of Maja called Celebration.

I used Gummiapan nesting stitched squares for the base of my card, and to layer the papers, and white card.

I used Roxstamps Curlicue decor edge die to cut the design paper, and fixed it behind the card front at the top. I embellished it with 3mm sticky white pearl flatbacks from my stash!

I used lots of other dies that are available to buy at Swedish House Crafts.

The pretty lace is from my stash.

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

A closer look at the coloured image's.

I stamped floral background onto Bristol board cardstock and cut out using Gummiapan nesting stitched square.

I stamped Bunny Tilda, coloured her, and cut around her. I used 3D foam tape to the back of Tilda, and adhered her to the bottom of the background.

The flowers are from my stash. The banners, and birdie are Gummiapan dies.

Behind my flower arrangement, you can see Gummiapan hens net. I cut it using Maja Celebration papers.

The toadstools, and cute hedgehog are dies that were included in Magnolia Doohickey club vol 16.

sadly, due to the kits being limited edition, vol 16 is no longer available, but you are able to pre order vols 19, and 20 in store. You will also be entitled to 5% off your pre order by using code;

Swedish House Crafts - Celebrate Your Life With Maja

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.

I hope you are well?

I'm here to share my DT creation for Swedish House Crafts blog.

I hope you like it?

I have made a 65th Birthday card for my Step Mother.

She loves Art Deco, and what better than to make her a card with the stunning new collection of Maja papers called "Celebrate".

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

I used GoKreate large frame frilly #5 for the base of my card, and layer the papers onto my card.

The pretty lace is from my stash.

I chose to use the above image. There are six large image's, and seven image's in the form of stamps on the sheet, so lots to choose from. With the complete collection, you can choose the coordinating papers to match.

I used large antique luxury metal corners to embellish either of the corners on the image.

The corners are antique in colour, but I painted them with white Gesso, and once dried, I rubbed over them with Memento black ink.

I used Roxstamps heart wreath die to cut the papers, and embellished it with sparkly heart, and clear rhinestone embellishments. The hearts and rhinestones are from my stash.

The Happy Birthday text die is Gummiapan. I used papers from the collection to cut the text.

I hand made the flowers, again using a selection of the papers. The larger flower is made using Gummiapan flowers 3 dies, and the rolled roses are made using Marianne Design English rose dies.

In between the flowers, I placed a milky white barley stem available to buy in store.

I die cut the heart tags using Doohickey so wrapped lovely die, and papers.

Here you can also see more of my hand made rolled roses.

Inside the card is decorated to complement the front.

Swedish House Crafts - A Fish Kisses To Tilda - Desktop Calendar & Tutorial

Hello. lovely blogger friend's.
I hope you are well?

I'm here with my project for Swedish House Crafts blog.

I have made a desktop calendar, and featured one of the new Magnolia You're Invited 2018 collection stamps, which are available to pre order in store now. The stamp is called "A Fish Kisses to Tilda" Isn't she adorable???

I used Pion Design "Legends of the Sea" 12" x 12" complete collection papers. The complete collection are currently on sale in store at a great discounted price.

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

I matted the calendar tab onto white card, and design papers placing a piece of white cheesecloth underneath. I used a selection of flowers from my stash, and positioned foliage between them using Gummiapan little twigs die. The pretty lace, and bronze anchor charm are also from my stash.

I stamped the image onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock, and cut out using Gummiapan stitched rectangle. I stamped around the outside of the rectangle using Gummiapan Stockholm post stamp. I coloured the image with prismacolor and Polychromos pencils.

I sprinkled a little shabby white embossing enamel around the inside of the rectangle, and adhered it onto a larger stitched rectangle with 2mm foam tape, placing Gummiapan hen net between the two layers.

I've put together a tutorial for you on how to make a desktop calendar

You will need:

1 piece of white A4 card

21cm x 14cm strip of white card

2018 calendar tab

Score board 

Paper trimmer 

Pencil

Ruler Glue/sticky tape

 

Position a sheet of white A4 card landscape onto the score board, and score down the centre

Fold in half as seen in the above photo, and put to one side for later

Cut a strip of white card to measure 21cm x 14cm

Position the card portrait on the score board, and score at 2cm, 7cm, and 12cm.

Acordian fold as shown above

Take the card that you folded in half earlier, and adgere the 2cm scored tab to the inside bottom of the card. 

Acordian fold, and repeat with the other end so the tabs match up either end.

This is how the desktop calendar will look after it has been assembled

Thank you for stopping by today!

Swedish House Crafts - Pion Design - Where The Roses Grow!

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.

I'm on Swedish House Crafts blog today.

I have made a pretty feminine card with the gorgeous collection of Pion Design papers called 

"Where The Roses Grow"

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

I used Gummiapan old paper die to cut the base and layer the papers onto the card. I also used Gummiapan nesting stitched circles to matt the papers onto the centre of the card.

I used the gorgeous Roxstamps Curlicue decor edge die to cut the design paper, and fixed it behind the card front at the top.

I embellished the curlicue decor edge with 3mm s/a pearl flatbacks from my stash!

The image that I chose to use is one of three that are in the set. I love them all.

I used one of the Gummiapan nesting stiched rectangle dies to cut out the image.

I placed foliage between the flower arrangement using the Gummiapan twig pointy leaves, and little twigs dies.

I placed a couple of Gummiapan doodle circles, also cut with the design papers from the collection, between the stitched squares above the arrangement.

The beaded berries, and off white flowers with curls are available from the store.

All the other flowers are from my stash!

The rose water bottle, tag, border, and butterflies are included in the complete collection along with lots of other gorgeous designs on the sheets.

Inside the card is decorated to complement the front.

Gingerbread Tilda - January 2018 Challenge At LHOSM

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
Happy New Year!

It's time for our first challenge of 2018 over on the Lovely Haenglar or Sweet Magnolia blog
Our challenge theme is.....................ANYTHING GOES
Our wonderful sponsor is Wild Orchid Crafts

I'm sharing the Christmas card that I made last year for my Mum

I used Gingerbread Tilda from Magnolia Christmas party 2017 Collection.
The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol board extra smooth cardstock.
I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor, and polychromos pencils, and fussy cut around her!

For the shape of my card I used Gummiapan Old Paper die, and Maja Design "Home for the Holidays" papers.

Other dies used are; Cheery Lynn English tea party doily, Sizzix holiday greens, Gummiapan nesting stitched squares, and button heart. Bird houses, swirl, and garland from Doohickey club vol 17 Christmas/Winter 2017.

The sentiment holiday wishes kit is also from Christmas Party collection.

I used Gummiapan stitched square die, and stamped the holiday wishes kit onto the centre using Memento rich cocoa ink, and sprinkled around the inside with shabby white embossing enamel.

 I then matted it onto a larger stitched square with 2mm foam tape.

I decorated the top of the sentiment using the garland die from vol 17, and used the Gummiapan heart button die at the bottom, tied with a piece of red thread.

A close look at the flower arrangement.

The berries, wooden pine cones, and white paper flower/curls are from Swedish House Crafts.

The 35mm curly red rose, 30mm 2 tone brown rose, white flower spray, and 15mm olive green rose are all from my stash.

I placed the holly that I die cut from Sizzix holiday greens in between the arrangement.

A close look at Gingerbread Tilda.

I dotted Tilda's cheeks with a white gelly roll pen, and added glamour dust to the pom pom on her hat, and the heart inside the pocket.

Inside the card is decorated to complement the front.
