Pisces Tilda

Hello there!

I looooooove my new stamps and as soon as I saw this cutie I thought she looked like a sweet little mermaid.. Doesn't she?
It was love at first sight..

This is Pisces Tilda from the new Zodiac Collection 2014..
The papers are from Maja Design - Vintage Frost Basics..
They are so versatile you can use them for anything really..
I've used one of my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

The paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

They are machine sewn too..

I've added once again a gorgeous pin and lots of pearls..
There's some gesso all over the place..
I've applied some Stickles on her tail, a bit of Crackle paint on the flower and Liquid Pearls all around the image..

I'm sure you all know how much I love flowers.. I use them on every single project..

These are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses..

And you can see some Kort & Godt Hortensias too..

I've also added some Flower Sprays and a bit of cheesecloth under the arrangements..

Take a look at the gorgeous lace, the soft pink ribbon and the Vintage Seam Binding..

The pearl is one of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Baubles.. A fantastic detail, right?

Feel free to ask if there's anything you'd like to know..
Thanks for stopping by..

Hugs, Tina

Gemini Tilda

That's right! I have another post for you today..

Since I'm a little obsessed with making gift boxes lately I couldn't resist..

I had to make another one..

And this time I'm going to show you a very special stamp..

This is Gemini Tilda from the Zodiac Collection 2014..

Cute, right?

This collection is just incredible.. I cannot wait to colour them all up..

I've made another square box..

These are perfect for small presents.. I love them..

The base is made out of kraft paper.. I've made the lid out of some textured paper.. The border was decorated using a Martha Stewart Punch..

The papers are from Maja Design..

There are two small doilies tucked under there and I've used some of my favourite flowers and sprays..

The corners are made using a home made mold and some Fimo Air..

I've used a Spellbinders Circle die to cut out the image and a matching Scalloped Circle to put under..

All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked..

They are also machine sewn..

I love using these butterflies on my projects..

They are made with Martha Stewart molds..

There are some pearls on the box too..

And of course some gorgeous lace..

Here's another corner full of flowers..

I've glued one of the butterflies on the big flower.. Looks like it's resting there..

All the flowers are painted with some gesso..

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

I've also used a Magnolia postmark and one from Kort & Godt..

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

I've added some Vintage Seam Binding all around the lid and tied it on one side..

Take a look at this stunning pendant.. It's one of the Idea-Ology Baubles.. Just gorgeous..

Well.. This is my second and last post for today.. 

But I'll be back tomorrow with some more inspiration for you..

Hugs, Tina

Tilda With Egg and Chicken

Oh my.. It's March already..

Where does the time go???

Here's my newest creation..

I have to warn you.. These are not the colours I usually use..

There are some that I'm just scared of.. And yellow is one of them..

But how could I not use the new Pion Design A Day In May papers..

They are just gorgeous..

And perfect for this Easter project..

This is a pocket tag..

I got the new Magnolia Ink Magazine (No1/2014) the other day and there was this fantastic step by step tutorial.. I just had to try it out..

The base is made out of kraft paper.. 

Only now I realize that I forgot to take a pic of the inside.. Oh my..

Now let's take a look at some of the details..

I love this wonderful charm.. Just perfect for my easter projects..

The textured papers are from Papermania..

The ribbon used to tie everything up is from my stash..

Of course there are lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers all over the place and a small doily tucked under there..

I've used my Spellbinders Ovals to cut the image out and then a Scalloped Oval under that..

Then there's this fantastic lace and the Shabby Pearl Rose Organza Trim..

I've added a bit of cheesecloth under all those layers and tons of pearls..

The flowers and other random parts of the tag are covered with Gesso..

All the paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and machine sewn..

This is Tilda With Egg and Chicken from the Little Easter Collection 2013..

I'm glad I finally had the chance to colour her.. She's gorgeous..

The Chicken Wire I used around her is from that same collection..

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

I've added some Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint on the eggs, Stickles on her dress and Liquid Pearls all around and on the image..

The white spots on her cheeks are made using an Inkssentials White Opaque Pen..

It's nice to make something different from time to time.. LOL!

I really hope you enjoyed..

This pocket tag is already available for sale in my Etsy store HERE..

See you soon..

Hugs, Tina

Tilda In The Garden

Morning everyone!

This might look as an ordinary card from this side but it's not..
It's a gift box.. Yes.. Another one..
I guess this is my latest obsession.. LOL!

The designer papers are from Maja Design.. 

These are my favourites from the Vintage Summer Basics collection..
The image is called Tilda In The Garden and it's a stamp from the You Are So Special Collection 2011..

Take a look at this pin.. Beautiful, isn't it?

And there's a heart doily hidden under all those layers..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

This key charm is one of my favourites.. Wanna know why?

Because you can 'personalize' it ..

I've added some tiny pearls on but you could use some rhinestones, liquid pearls or whatever you think would look great..

Those flower sprays are fantastic and I've added a tiny bit of cheesecloth under the flowers too..

Here's a close up of the two gorgeous laces and this cute little keyhole..

There are lots of pearls all over the box and I've added some Frantage around the image..

The scalloped edge around the lid and in this pic was made using a Martha Stewart punch..

Here are some more flowers.. All from WOC except for the Kort og Godt Rolled Rose..

They are all stained with some gesso..

The pearl spray is also from Kort og Godt..

I've added some Stickles on the flowers Tilda's holding in her hands..

I've used a Spellbinders Oval to cut out the image and a Scalloped Oval under it..

Take a look at this wonderful detail..

I've added some white shabby seam binding all around the box lid and decorated the bow with some more flowers and this fantastic Diamond Chandelier Drop..

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

Let me know if you want me to add the list of colours used for this one..

The postmark on the right is from Magnolia, the one on the left is from Kort og Godt..

And here are two more pics from the sides..

You can find this and many other items in my Etsy shop HERE..

Well.. I hope you enjoyed..

Tilda With Spring Heart

It's Sunday and I'm finally here with a new card..
This one was made using Maja Design papers from the Vintage Frost Basics collection..

I guess you know already how versatile these papers are and I just wanted to prove that with another creation that has nothing to do with winter or frost..

A new Magnolia collection (Lost & Found 2014) has been released recently and I adore this cute little Tilda with Spring Heart..
The flower background is from the same Stamp Club kit but I don't know the name of the stamp yet..
I'll add that when I figure it out..
Then there's the Log from the Halloween & Autumn Collection 2008.. I use this one a lot..
And let's not forget the Especially For You sentiment from the Chasing Butterflies Collection 2009..
I keep telling myself that I should try something different.. Something clean and simple (that's scary LOL!)..
And then I grab a flower.. And then another one.. And another one..
How could I not.. These WOC flowers are all so gorgeous.. 

I add cheesecloth under and in between the flowers.. I really like the look of it..

The beaded berries are one of my fave embellies..
I've used one of my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

There's something pretty new here..

The Crystal Pin.. Can you find it??

It's gorgeous even if it doesn't show here.. I swear..
The Swirl is a Magnolia Doohickey die and so is the Ticket..
They are both covered with some Frantage..

There's one of the doilies I love so much under there too..

I've used my Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles for the image..

All the paper edges are distressed with a TH tool, then inked and machine sewn..

There's just one more thing I have to point out..

I love lace.. I've used only two types for this card but I love them all..
Another thing I couldn't live without are pearls.. 

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

I use both the ink pads and the reinkers..

Here's the list of colours used for this one:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks: Tattered Rose

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Log: Walnut Stain

Dress and shoes: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone

Socks: Pumice Stone

Background: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Peeled Paint

Heart Flowers: Victorian Velvet

Big Heart: Aged Mahogany

Grass under log: Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

I've used tons of other mediums to embellish this card..

 Liquid Pearls around the image, Stickles on the little hearts, Rocky Candy Crackle Paint on the big heart, Glossy Accents, Picket Fence Crackle Paint and Gesso here and there..

Thanks for stopping by..

I really appreciate it..

Hugs, Tina
