FUSSY & FANCY CHALLENGE REMINDER- MUSIC

Hi everyone

Well, I was so inspired with the Challenge at http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
I went a bit mad and made two cards, so I am here with a reminder and the second card to show you. 

Tone  is hosting this Challenge and has chosen a brilliant theme of Music ( - notes, instruments, dance, )  think wide

We are sponsored by one of my favourite shops  Noor Designs UK
As I said before, nothing is too much trouble for Tracy.  If you do not see what you are looking for on her site I am sure if you message her she will help if she can.  She is a mine of information too and so talented as can be seen on her Blog here at http://crafteezee.blogspot.co.uk/ 


And it is another Christmas card using this lovely Magnolia Fir Tree image which I coloured with Copics. 

Several of the items are available from  http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ 

Image :  Magnolia and coloured with copics (Another stampI have had for ages and never tire of it )

Dutch Doobadoo Structure Paste
Silver Stickles
Tim Holtz Distress inks for the edges
JOY Border die
Papers by JOY (I think).  I forgot to write down which pack these papers came from but I purchased theme from  http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/

Again, some of the embellishments could well be available at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ 

And of course, items from stash.


It would be lovely if you had time to pop over and see the Design Team's beautiful inspiration and even better if you fancy joining in with the challenge. (http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ )

USING UP SCRAPS n STASH

Hi everyone

I wonder how many of you are like I am and just love using up scraps and stash.  Somehow there is such a lovely feeling to achieve something from nothing.  Alright I know we purchased these things initially, but when they have been sat there for a long length of time and then suddenly they see daylight I always feel as though I have achieved something by using them.  Plus, if it is using up scraps, well that is just a lovely feeling and makes me feel pleased I did not throw them out.

So, as I am getting together some things for the Summer Craft Fairs I delved into the things in my cupboard which were purchased probably three years ago for this purpose.  You will be seeing a few of these little altered notebook/organisers over the next few weeks I guess.

So, this is a little 6 x 4inch book.  I have used some of myold Magnolia papers,ones which I probably would not use for making a card.  Everything actually did come from my stash on this one.  The two right corners are adorned with a triangle cut from the same paper edged with a little scrap of lace.

The inside cover and back cover are both covered with paper too, there being a little pocket on the inside cover.

As always, thanks for looking today

MAGNOLIA TILDA - PEARLS! PEARLS! AND MORE PEARLS!

Hi everyone,


Yes, it is another Tilda Card!  This is an image I coloured up ages ago.   I took inspiration from a card a very talented lady made some time ago and cased it.  Amelia is a lovely lady and so talented.  This is her blog here

Of course it has ended up nothing like Amelia's card.  Once I got going it just seemed to go its own sweet way, as they do!  I seem to have gone a bit over the top with the pearls.

The dies are from Cheery Lynn
The lace is from Ribbon Girl.  This was a lovely gift from a friend and I think I have now used my last scrap. The embellishments and Frantage came from  Live and Love Crafts and I delved into my stash for anything else.


Thanks for looking,

MAGNOLIA TILDA - LOVE

Hi everyone,


Well I wonder how long it is since I made a Tilda card?  A long time I can tell you.  I found this image, all coloured up, sitting waiting patiently in my stash.  It is an image a friend very kindly coloured up for me as a gift.  Well, I was working at the time on Dt cards which all had the same sort of theme - Love.  So, this is where the inspiration came from for this card.  And of course it is Valentines Day today so it is so appropriate.

Hehe, you will see I am back to the same style card that I have been enjoying lately too - well I just cannot help myself, I am loving making these.

The die is from Noor Designs UK. The embellishments and cheesecloth came from  Live and Love Crafts and I delved into my stash for anything else.


Thanks for looking,

CRISS CROSS

Morning all,

Here I have another criss cross card which I made quite some time ago.  When my very clever friend coloured me this gorgeous Magnolia Tilda image (doesn't she colour so well!) I knew right away what I wanted to do with it.  I wish I could remember which papers I used.  I do know that most of the embellishments came from stash I purchased locally.

 

I had forgotten how lovely this Tilda image is you know.

Thank you so much for looking.  

Have a lovely day,

PLENTY OF LAYERS

Hi everyone

I am here tonight to share a card I made a little while ago.  This one features one of my magnolia Tilda stamped images which I have coloured with Copics.  I went for a bright and cheerful look here.  I really enjoy making a card from my stash and this is just what I did here.

Well, I have been going through my Tilda stamps today.  There are such a lot I do not use now, in fact Tilda seems to have got forgotten about.  So I have had a little clearout.  I now have a whopping 17 stamps for sale on EBay.  My EBay name is Spritzer5555, and there is a link on my sidebar.

 I would like to enter this into the Challenge at Bunny Zoe Crafts Challenge - Layers

I hope you have all had a great weekend.

FESTIVE TILDA

Two cards in one day so please scroll down for the first one.

This card sort of just happened.  I had this piece of patterned paper left over and was sat wondering what I could do with it, and this is what happened.

It is very much a stash card really.   I already had the Tilda image coloured up, The Memory Box paper was a scrap left over and the Snowflakes are from a Tim Holtz On the Edge die.  The Poinsettias came from EBay and I spotted the berries in a Garden Centre locally.  The tag is from a Marianne Creatables die.

TILDA WITH LOVE

Morning everyone

Well it is a bad weather forecast for us today with heavy snow apparently, but the good news is that we are in for a thaw at the weekend.  I do like to see the snow but it makes mobility so dicey and dangerous.  We have quite a few snowmen around here at the moment and they are great to see.

Onto the card now.  I am using another lovely Tilda image which my friend has coloured for me.  I just love this image!  As you can see I have applied the four triangle design to the centre panel.  I really like this effect.
