Craft Heaven DT - Valentine's Card

 

Good morning!  I have a Valentine's card to share with you today using some gorgeous Reprint Love & Romance papers and another cutie from Magnolia's Lovely Collection.  I finally, after years of coveting, acquired the Brides Bow Doohickey and have used it on the belly band of the card.  I have also used the Old Swedish Lace Doohickey for the beautiful lace edge.

This is what the card looks like once the belly band is removed.  Excuse my finger - it wouldn't stay closed for the photo otherwise!  I have used the Heart Frame Doohickey for the edges and the heart from the Woodland Tags Doohickey set for the aperture.  I have then framed the aperture with a piece by Scrapiniec which I cut in half so that it opens with the card.

The photo above shows the card fully opened.  Inside I have used more papers from the Reprint paper pack and Snail Mail Tilda, painted with Distress Inks.  I have also used one of the sentiments from the collection.

As always, Tilda was painted using the no lines technique.  I have added some stamping with various Magnolia post mark stamps around the edges of the image.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Love You Watts

Good evening and happy Valentine's Day!  In honour of the day I'd like to show you my latest card for Craft Heaven featuring the Love You Watts Tilda from the Live Laugh Love Collection and papers from Maja Design's Little Street Cafe Collection.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks and added some details to the ribbon in her hair using a white gel pen.

The light bulb charm is from Craft Heaven and I have used the heart background Doohickey die behind the image.

The hearts are off cuts from the background die and I have added some cheesecloth behind the image too.

The sentiment comes with the Tilda, along with some lightbulbs and flowers.  I used a Spellbinders ornament die to cut Tilda out, using it upside down to resemble a lightbulb. 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Tina has a sale on Magnolia stamps at the moment - check it out here!

Clean and Simple Valentine

Good afternoon!  I have a clean and simple card to share with you today.  It is not often I go for clean and simple, but when I saw these three cuties I thought they'd work perfectly together on a Valentine's card.  These are the new stamps that you can personalise from Magnolia.  Each comes with its own sentiment which you can then add your name too!

This one is Telephone Tilda.  She comes with the sentiment "Made with love from", plus your name (or whatever you wish to add actually).  I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added white spots to her eyes and cheeks with a white gel pen.

Next up is Tilda's Lamp Post.  Her sentiment is, "With Love From", and again you can add your name, or maybe even your town or country!

Finally, we have Royal Post Tilda.  She comes with the sentiment "Made With Love By", and whatever name you wish to add.  Aren't they all cute?  They're perfect to add to envelopes, the back of cards, tags, or to group together as I have done here.

I have added a simple sentiment using a Tim Holt Shadow Press set to complete the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

You Are Beary Special To Me

 Good evening!  I'd like to share my latest card with you featuring the gorgeous new stamps from the Valentine Pop Up Box.

I love this Tilda in her little bear suit.  As always I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  The little paw prints are an accessory stamp that come with this Tilda.  They're so cute!

The sentiment, "You are beary special to me", also comes in the set.  I have used the heart tag from Doohickey Volume for the tags.  The papers are the gorgeous new collection from Maja Design, Little Street Café.  The papers, lace, flowers and seam binding are all from Craft Heaven.

I have used the doily Doohickey behind the image mat and used the off-cut hearts from the tags to decorate the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Happy Valentine's Day

Good morning and happy Valentine's Day.  To celebrate I made this Valentine's card with the gorgeous Love Typewriter Doohickey as the main feature and papers from Maja Design's new collection - Celebration.  I used the Magnolia Doily Doohickey to create the shape of the card.

I cut the typewriter from black cardstock and added details with a gold pen.  The letter and hearts were cut from white cardstock and I inked the hearts with Festive Berries Distress Ink.

I have propped the typewriter and letter on 3D pads for extra dimension.

On the base of the easel card I have stamped the Roses are Red Text from the You Are Invited Collection.

I added some pale pink roses and a black Prima flower along with some crystal stems from Magnolia.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Craft Heaven DT - Tilda Throws Away Hearts

Good morning!  I have another card to share on the Craft Heaven blog today.  Continuing our love theme that we have for our challenge this month, I made a card with Tilda Throws Away Hearts from the 'You are Invited' collection.  I have also used lots of scrumptious papers from the new Maja Design collection - Celebration.

 As soon as I saw this Tilda I knew I wanted to paint her black and white and the hearts red.  I love this effect on photographs.  I have used just two colours of Distress Inks to paint her - Black Soot and Aged Mahogany.

 I have used several Doohickey dies that feature hearts to continue the heart theme throughout the card.  I have also popped a little Scrapiniec chipboard heart on there.

 I couldn't resist adding the amazing Eiffel Tower Doohickey, also cut from the Maja papers.

 I have used some of the off cut hearts from the tags to decorate the card and ribbon from my stash for the tags.

 The gorgeous lace is also from Craft Heaven.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  x

Craft Heaven DT - February Challenge - Love is in the Air

Good morning!  It is time for our new challenge over on the Craft Heaven Blog.  This month our theme is "Love is in the Air'.

I had to have another play with my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform using the gorgeous Roses are Red text from Magnolia.  As each detail is very tiny I used a brush to paint the colours I wanted onto the stamp.  I love how it turned out!  I used Aged Mahogany for the roses, Bundled Sage for the leaves and Walnut Stain for the text.

The stunning crystal and pearl embellishment is my absolute favourite from the Craft Heaven store.

I used some gorgeous deep lace from the store along with some Maja Design papers from the Sofiero collection.  

I've aged the edges with a paper distressing tool and Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this month at Craft Heaven.

Ribbon Girl DT - February Card Challenge

 Good morning!  February already, I can hardly believe it!  That means, of course, that it is time for our 'Anything Goes' card challenge at The Ribbon Girl.  I have used papers from Craft & You's Rose Garden paper pad.

 The sweet shabby white wooden heart and all of the embellishments are from The Ribbon Girl.  The large flower I have made myself with Foamiran.

 The beautiful ruffled ribbon is one of my favourites from The Ribbon Girl.  I've added pearl trim across the middle.

 I have decorated the inside of the card with a contrasting paper from the same pad as the inside is visible around the edges of the heart cut out.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at The Ribbon Girl.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations and for details of the gorgeous prize.  Thanks for looking! x
