Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I last posted something on here but things are starting to settle down a bit and I'm confident that I will be back on track soon..

Today I wanted to share with you all a card that I made for a colleague.. It's a confimation card with a stamp that I haven't used in 8 years.. Can you believe it? LOL!

I'm talking about Tilda with a Little Dove.. Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

I used a GoKreate die for the card's base and all the papers are from Maja Design's latest collection called Miles Apart..

I also used some Bazzil Kraft cardstock and a bit of thick vellum..

The list of other dies I used is quite long..

Spellbinders Standard Circles Large (to cut out the image)

Polkadoodles Fanciful Circles (kraft cardstock under the image)

Spellbinders Floral Assortment (the square ornated frame behind the image)

Spellbinders Fancy Edged Circles (inside of the card) 

Magnolia Bloomy Tag (the tag with the Vintage Seam Binding tied on)

Magnolia Angel Wing (no explanation needed)

Magnolia Mini Doily (on the back)

I'm really sorry I didn't take any pics of the inside and back of the card but I was in a hurry..

Next time I will.. I promise..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks and sealed with a thin coat of Distress Micro Glaze to preserve it and prevent from fading..

I made some dots around Tilda with White Opal Liquid Pearls and in the end I added some Stardust Stickles on her wings.. I wish I could show you all that sparkle but I did that after these pictures were already taken..

All the flowers are from WOC and there are some hints of Gesso here and there to make it a bit more shabby..

There's some cheesecloth under the flowers as well for some extra texture..

Then there's my favorite paper doily and lots and lots of pearls..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

The white butterflies were made with an old Martha Stewart mould and some Fimo Air Light..

I'm really glad you took the time to stop by..

I'm a bit rusty but I hope you enjoyed your stay!

I wish you a wonderful day!!

Poinsettia Tilda..

Hello my dear followers!

This card may come as a surprise to you as I'm usually not this early with my Christmas makes, but I'm guest designing on a challenge blog today and we were supposed to use our birthstone colour on our project..

I googled what mine was and it turns out it's Garnet..

Red.. Oh my..

Not my colour really..

But then I thought..

I love using red on my Christmas makes and I have that gorgeous Tilda waiting in the drawer..

And that's how I came up with this card..

Of course I had to have a play with some Maja Design papers..

I chose the I Wish Collection..

The card's base is made with a GoKreate die - the biggest one of the Large Frames Frilly #5..

The smaller frame frame under the snowflake is a Magnolia Doohickey from the Vintage Square set..

 Here is my beloved Poinsettia Tilda from the Aspen Holidays Collection 2016..

I paired her with a sentiment from that same collection..

The name of that set is Dreaming of Ornament Kit..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink and I coloured her with Distress Inks..

I combine both, ink pads and reinkers..

I also used my sewing machine as you can see..

I always feel a project isn't really finished if I don't add a stitch or two..

Here are some close-ups..

I've used quite a few doilies, some cheesecloth, even some corrugated cardboard that I covered with Gesso to tone it down a bit..

There's a Bark Heart with a little WOC rose on top..

A gorgeous and very sparkly button, some lace..

And let's not forget the Snowflurry Background Doohickey..

I used it on the front and on the inside..

The top one consists of three layers.. It was a nasty job, I tell you, but I really wanted it to be sturdy so it won't break that easily..

The inside circles are made with Spellbinders dies..

One Standard Circle Large and a Petite Scalloped Circle Large..

The one on the back is from the Triple Tear set..

Just gorgeous..

There are lots of half-pearls on the front and back as well..

The dots around her are white Frantage embossing powder.. 

The layer behind the stamped image is made out of Bazzill Classic 12x12 Kraft..

My absolute favourite when it comes to kraft paper..

The snowflakes are cut out of Bazzill Cardstock as well.. That's the Bazzill Mono Canvas 12x12 in white..

Also a favourite of mine..

Well that's all.. For now..

I really hope you enjoyed your stay, got inspired and learned something new!

Tilda with Early Bird..

Good morning everyone!

Here's a new project for the TOMIC Blog that I hope brightens your day..

The papers are a mix of Vintage Summer Basics, Vintage Autumn Basics and Vintage Frost Basics from Maja Design..

The kraft details are made out of Bazzill Classic Kraft 12x12..

I stamped some vintage postmarks on those.. You know I love them..

Here is the image.. Stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks..

Her name is Tilda with Early Bird and was released in 2018..

It's one of the super cute stamps from the Le Fleur Upgrade..

Here's a full list of the colours I used if you're interested..

Skin

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Dress

Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Heart Pockets

Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany

Boots

Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Bird
Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Hickory Smoke

Grass

Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

Now let's talk about the dies..

The gorgeous circle I used to cut out the image is a CreaLies Circle with Open Scallop..

I just cannot recommend these dies enough..

They cut beautifully and you can find them in all kind of shapes, with all kinds of finishes..

And you get soooo many different sizes in each set.. 

I tell you.. I'm in love with these and I will use them a whole lot for sure..

Of course I just had to use the square set as well.. They complement each other marvellously..

The square set is called Squares with Open Scallop..

You can find them all HERE..

The card's base was made with a GoKreate Frame Frilly #15..

The tags and fence are both Magnolia Dohickey dies..

One is called Bloomy Tag and the other Lovely Fence..

I used Spellbinders Standard Large Circles and Petite Scalloped Circles Large for my handmade logo on the back..

A shot from the side to show you some more details..

The chipboard element is from Scrapiniec.. From the Boho Love collection to be more precise..

I made the dots around the image adding some Frantage embossing powder..

Not sure if you can tell but the pockets on her pants are covered with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and the flowers in her hair are all sparkly because I added some Stardust Stickles on top of them..

I think the House charm is absolutely adorable.. Isn't it?

I've used my sewing machine to stitch the paper edges, added lots of half-pearls and all sorts of WOC flowers all over the place..

There's also some cheesecloth here and there and different kinds of absolutely gorgeous lace..

All with a light touch of Dina Wakley Media Gesso on..

That's all for today my lovely followers..

I wish you all a fantastic day!

And of course.. Thanks for stopping by!

Tilda In Cozy Coat

Hi everyone!

I'm back.. With a new card..

My father needed a Christmas card and I had NONE.. 

Seriously..

I was in such a hurry that I forgot a thousand things..

I forgot to finish everything with Gesso.. I can't believe it.. I only realized it while editing the pics..

And a pearl fell off..

Wanna talk about the colouring?

I forgot to finish the shading around her..

Shame on me.. LOL!

Well.. There's nothing I can do now.. He mailed it out earlier today.. 

Enough with the babbling..

Here are all the details..

This gorgeous papers are from Magnolia.. I've been neglecting them lately but I'm starting tu pull them out of the drawers..

And I've decided to use some dies from the Doohickey Kit vol.2 too..

Can you spot them?

One of the Slender Firs is there too..

And I've used my GoKreate dies for the card's shape and my Spellbinders dies for the image..

At least I did not forget to distress and sew the edges..

There's a doily under there and a square piece of corrugated cardboard that I painted with some Picket Fence Crackle Paint..

Some pearls here and there..

A snowflake charm..

And some beautiful lace..

Tons of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort & Godt and Magnolia.. Of course.. 

And some berries, leaves and a bit of cheesecloth..

The snowflake die from the kit is pretty much all hidden under all that stuff..

This cutie from the Waiting For Christmas Collection 2014 is called Tilda In Cozy Coat..

The dots around her are made with Chunky White Frantage and the snowflakes are covered with Stardust Stickles..

I added a touch of Glossy Accents to the buttons on her coat..

She's coloured with Distress Inks..

Just a few colours really..

But I've added a bit of Aged Mahogany to the cheeks this time, and you know what?

I really like it!!

I would love to hear what you guys think..

Leave me a comment if you can..

And there's one more thing I have to say:

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Hugs, Tina

Little Prince

Hi everyone!

Today I'm here to show you a gift bag for a pretty little boy..

I've used once again Sleeping Baby Tilda from the Cozy Family Autumn Collection 2010..

I never get tired of using this one on my creations.. LOL!

I've used some blue organza ribbon for the handles..

The image was cut out using a Spellbinders Oval and I placed a matching Scalloped Oval under it..

The next layer is the cheesecloth..

And then a doily..

Some gorgeous patterned paper cut with a GoKreate die..

And again some cheesecloth and two more layers of paper..

I've used a lot of homemade embellies on this one..

The corners are made with a mold I bought on Ebay..

Then there's the frame..

And I've also made a cute little sitting angel and placed it on one of the corners of the frame..

Cute, right?

There are tons of flowers and berries all over the place.. All covered with some gesso..

And there's (of course) some beautiful cotton lace too..

I love, love, love the shabby organza trim with pearls too..

All the papers are from Maja Design..

The sentiment is from Stempelglede..

There's even a cute little pacifier laying there..

There are also some paper flowers with pearls here and there..

I made those with a Martha Stewart punch..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

The flourishes around the image are made with a Stempelglede stamp..

All the paper edges are distressed with some Walnut Stain and machine sewn..

I've used some Chunky White Frantage around the image and some Stickles on the wings..

Well.. I really hope you like it..

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Tina

Dancing Tilda With Stars

Hi everyone!

I love May and the weather today is fantastic here..

The sun is shining, the birds are singing.. It can't get any better, can it?

A colleague at work asked me if I could make her a card for a Holly Communion and of course I said yes..

I have tons of angel Magnolia stamps but I've decided to go with this one..

This is Dancing Tilda With Stars from the Little Christmas Collection 2012..

The papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero Collection..

I've used one of my GoKreate dies to shape the card..

Here you can see the Heart tag Magnolia Doohickey..

I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..

The Made With Love Charm is from my stash..

And so are the two pins..

I looove the So Wrapped Lovely die.. This one is from Magnolia too..

This Seam Binding has a slightly different tone than the one on the other side..

There's a doily too under all those layers..

And you can see that I've added some pearls here and there..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Oval and I've placed a matching Scalloped Oval under that..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort & Godt and I Am Roses..

There's the Angel Wing Doohickey tucked under them.. Covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

I've added a bit of cheesecloth under those too..

The postmarks around the image are from Kaisercraft..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The spider web ribbon is gorgeous but I just had to add a little bit of lace on top of it..

I bought it on Etsy..

And then there's this magnificent charm that's just perfect for the theme..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and then coloured with Distress Inks as I said before..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

When I was done colouring I added some Gesso over it.. Not covering the whole image.. Just parts of it..

I wanted it to look like she was high in the sky between the clouds.. LOL!

The wings are covered with Stickles and there are some Liquid Pearl dots around her..

Hopefully I didn't forget anything..

Enjoy your day folks!

Hugs, Tina

Leo Tilda

I'm here!

I have a Shabby Chic creation with sweet Leo Tilda..

I've decided to use some Pion Design papers this time..

The Roseus sheet is the one with the most beautiful pattern if you ask me..

The tag was made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Tilda Tag..

The gorgeous ornate corner is a resin piece from the Prima Shabby Chic Treasures..

And of course I just had to use some Shabby Seam Binding too..

These are just some of the flowers on this card..

 Take a look at this beautiful heart shaped doily.. Isn't it fantastic?

There's a lot of Crackle Paint and Gesso all over the place..

And of course there are tons of pearls too..
The key charm is from my stash..

I've also used the new Magnolia Doohickey Bride Bow..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Opulent Oval..

The doily on this pic is from my stash..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

 Here are some more gorgeous flowers that I've used.. They are all WOC flowers except for the pink Poppy, the wonderful Kort & Godt Chrysantemum and the rolled rose I made myself..

There are also some Flower Sprays and Frosted Berries here..

The ''Samsara'' Lace is one of my all time favourites..

Leo Tilda is a stamp from the Magnolia Zodiac Collection 2014..

She's stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

I've used Frantage all around the image too..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The sentiment is also from Magnolia.. From the Raising The Ceiling And Right Through My Heart Collection 2010.. It's glued on a small wooden spool.. So cute..
