Little Cute Tilda

Hi everyone!

Since I haven't made a baby card for ages I thought I would make a book card for a little girl..

I have to warn you.. This one is picture heavy.. ;)

Of course I've used a Magnolia stamp.. I'm obsessed with them.. LOL!
This is Little Cute Tilda from the Special Moment Collection 2013..
The papers are from Pion Design - Sweet Baby Collection..

 I use Magnolia dies on almost every project cos' they are simply gorgeous..

I've used the Heart Tag Doohickey on this one..

The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart mold and some FIMO Air..

The image was cut out with one of the Spellbinders Opulent Ovals..

Charms are one of my obsessions and this Baby Pram is soooo cute..

But I had to add another charm inside too..

Take a closer look cos' it's well hidden..

I use a lot of Crackle Paint and Gesso on my projects..

And cheese cloth is pretty common too..

Take a look at all these gorgeous WOC flowers.. And the angel..

I've added  some Tulle Pleat Trim under them..

And have you seen the gorgeous effect Frantage gives around the image??

I have placed an Ornate Oval (a Sizzix die) under all those layers..

Then there's some lace, and some Shabby Seam Binding, and the Mini Sewing Spools..

And of course lots of pearls all over the place.. 

I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the borders..

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

The colours:

Weathered Wood

Vintage Photo

Tattered Rose

Antique Linen

Walnut Stain

Pumice Stone

Peeled Paint

I've added some Stickles on the sleeves..

 Here's the inside.. With tons of flowers, lace and that amazing Bark Heart..
The tickets are from the Pion Design Sweet Baby collection too..

Did you find the other charm??

It's the Baby Dummy tucked between all those flowers..

The heart under the flowers was made with the Classic Heart and Classic Scalloped Heart Spellbinders ..

That's how the back of the card looks like..

Someone was asking me about that lately..

I don't usually decorate the back but I always put my Limited Edition stamp on my cards..

That's it for today! I really hope you enjoyed!

If there's something you'd like to know just ask..

Hugs, Tina

Puppy Love Tilda

If you missed my CANDY post click HERE..

Allright..

Remember the Christmas gift box I made not so long ago?? 

I enjoyed the whole making process so much that I've decided to make another one..

How could I not use one of the stamps from the latest Magnolia Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

This is Puppy Love Tilda..

And I LOOOOOVE her!!!

The box is made out of kraft paper and Papermania Textured paper and then decorated with some DP's..

Maja Design - It's Christmas Time - Sparkle

Inkido - Forever Santa - Christmas Music

All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

All the edges are machine sewn too..

The pearls and Bead Berry Spray Clusters are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

I've used several Magnolia Doohickey dies for it:

- View Master  

- Vintage Box Lacing Coffee

- Slender Firs

The View Master and Firs are covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

The cheesecloth is from my stash..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort & Godt..

I've used my Spellbinders Opulent Ovals to cut out this cutie..

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

Here are the colours I've used:

Vintage Photo

Tattered Rose

Antique Linen

Walnut Stain

Weathered Wood

Pumice Stone

Victorian Velvet

Peeled Paint

Forest Moss

Aged Mahogany

Black Soot

As you can see I've added some Frantage around the image too..

The dots on her cheeks are made with an Inkssentials White Opaque Pen..

I've also added some Stickles on some parts of her dress and some Glossy Accents on the seal..

For the border of the lid I've used a Martha Stewart punch called Eyelet Lace..

There's some Vintage Seam Binding all around and I finished the look with a bow and one of my gorgeous Mini Bark Hearts from the LLC store..

There's some Gesso and some Crackle Paint here and there and two mini bells hidden on the right side of the biggest flower..

That's all for today..

But I'll be back soon..

Hugs, Tina

A Joyful Christmas

Hi everyone!

Ready for a new card???

I'm a little bit tired of the green and red combination for Christmas cards so I went for a non-traditional pink and white colour combo this time..

I really like how it all turned out..

I've used once again some Maja Design papers from the Vintage Summer Basics Collection..

The sheets are 1909 and 1910 to be more specific..

The card's shape was made using a GoKreate die..

There a re lots of Magnolia stamps on this card..

There's the A Joyful Christmas Text and A Joyful Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013

and the Postmark from the With Love Collection 2013..

I've also used some JoyCrafts dies..

The Winter Wishes Ice Crystals Border and the Snowflake Circle..

They are both covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

All the paper edges are distressed usind a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

I alway sew the borders with my sewing machine too..

The doily is there of course.. ;)

A lot going on on this side too..

You can see a bag and a tag hidden under all those flowers..

The lace is from my stash..

I've used Spellbinders Ovals and Opulent Ovals for the image..

There's some Frantage around Tilda too..

I've used lots of WOC pearls..

Did you notice the Vintage Metal Jingle Bells?? So tiny..

The flowers are from WOC and Kort & Godt..

There are so many different kinds.. I used a little bit of everything..

Some of the flowers are covered with Glossy Accents and Diamond Dust..

And have you seen all the berries, flower sprays and foam flower buds?

The metal corner is gorgeous, right?

I've used some Crispy Ribbon and the Rhinestiones lace..

The higlights are made with and Inkssentials White Opaque pen..

I've also added some Picket Fence Crackle Paint and some Gesso here and there..

This Christmas Stocking charm is so cute..

I really went crazy with the flowers and other embellies this time..

But they are all sooooooo gorgeous..

I couldn't stop adding them.. :)

There's some cheesecloth between and under them..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks and reinkers..

As usual I've used some Archival Ink and the 300g Langton aquarel paper..

This is the very first time I use the Liquid Applique..

Take a look at her hat..

Can you see the amazing effect?? I love it!!!

Hugs, Tina

I just had to use one of my newest stamps..

This is Merry Christmas Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

Isn't she gorgeous??

I have a new Tim Holtz die and it was just the thing I needed to decorate the bottom of the card.. I'm talking of the Brackets Alterations die..

And I had to use one of my GoKreate dies too..

The wonderful DP's are from Magnolia..

The Tilda Tag is a Magnolia Doohickey die and is made out of kraft paper..

The lace is from my stash..

And thake a look at the bark star.. So cute..

It's such a pity you can't see properly the mini bell on the tag.. It even makes a nice sound when you move the card around.. 

The corner is made out of FIMO Air..

I made it with a silicone mould my father made for me..

All the pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

There's a piece of corrugated cardboard under the image that I've covered with Crackle paint..

I've also added some Gesso here and there..

Some of the flowers are from WOC and some from Kort & Godt..

The frosted berries are from Live & Love Crafts..

The lace and Gingham ribbon are from LLC too..

The doily is from my stash..

All the paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

I always sew the edges with my sewing machine..

The Spellbinders Opulent Ovals are one of my newer dies too..

The cones are one of my favourite embellies for winter cards and I just had to add the snowflake charm too..

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

There's some Shabby White Frantage around the image..

I use an Inkssentials white opaque pen for the highlights..

I'd really love to read your comments..
