Tilda with Early Bird..

Good morning everyone!

Here's a new project 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

Heart Pockets

Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany

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!

Have Dinner with Me Tilda..

Hello everyone!

I hope you don't think I went crazy but I have neglected my beloved hobby for too long..
Crafting is what gives me peace of mind and that's exactly what I need right now..
I decided to take the time to do what really makes me happy..
So here I am with another project for you..
A little notebook for the Craft Heaven Shop DT..

The notebook is a pre-made one from my stash..
In the last post I told you that I want to use as much paper scraps as I can..
So I reached for some Maja Design papers that I've had for a long time now..
These still are one of my all time favourites..
I used three collections: Vintage Autumn Basics, Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Frost Basics..

I felt like I needed to add some more touches of kraft to match the notebook so I cut out a cute scalloped frame from Bazzil Classic Kraft and put it behind the image..
I wasn't convinced yet so I also added two small tags from Magnolia..
This set of dies is called Letter Tags and I picked the smaller one..
Talking about Bazzil..
I always use the Bazzil Mono Canvas in white for the extra layering..



Now let's move onto the image..
Have Dinner with Me Tilda from the Recipe Card Collection 2017..

She's coloured with Distress Inks and I will list all the colours here in case you wanna have a look..

Skin

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Shirt

Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Flowers/Bow
Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Greenery

Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

Background

Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Antique Linen

After I was done with all the colouring, I used some Frantage around her and some Stardust Stickles on the bouquet..
The image is sealed with the Distress Micro Glaze..

Here's a photo from the side so you can actually see all the sparkly bits..
I use the Magnolia Postcard and New York stamp sets on almost every projects so I reached for those again this time ..
The key charm you see hanging over there is from Craft Heaven Shop as well..
You might have noticed that I used the Old Swedish Lace die too..
It's almost completely covered by all the embellishments and other layers but it's there..

Doiles on the front, doilies on the back..
Can't live without them.. LOL!
And many different WOC flowers as you can see..
I tucked some cheesecloth under those and added touches of Gesso all over the place..
The insides of the covers are decorated as well..
I forgot to take a picture of the back one but I can tell you that I made a tiny pocket with the Wedding Lace Doohickey on there..
Another Magnolia die that I used is the Mini Doily..
I know I use it on most of my projects but it's sooo pretty.. I never get tired of it..
One more thing I tend to use a whole lot are self-adhesive half-pearls..
They are lilac this time..

I used some white Vintage Seam Binding for the closure and some more combined with delicate lace on the side..
This completes today's project people..
I really hope you enjoyed your visit!

Thank you once again for popping by!

I'll be back soon with a new creation for the Official Magnolia DT..

BathTub Tilda and a VIDEO TUTORIAL..

Good morning people!

Here I am with a new card for you..
You might have seen a sneak peek on my Facebook page already..
This is what I've been working on lately..
It's a card I made for the Craft Heaven Shop DT..

For starters I chose the dies for the base of the card..
I picked one of the GoKreate Large Frames Frilly #6..
The other one behind the image is from the same company but from the #10 set..

The image was cut out with one of the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and I placed a slightly bigger cut-out from Bazzil Classic Kraft behind that..
That one is from the Fancy Edged Circles set..

I'm on a hard mission people.. I wanna use as much paper scraps as I can and make room for new supplies, so I found some very, very, very old Reprint papers in my stash and combined those with the gorgeous Maja Design papers from the Vintage Spring Basics, Vintage Frost Basics and Vintage Baby 6x6 Paper Pads..

I'm sure you know this cutie already..
Her name is BathTub Tilda from the Let's Go Collection 2019..
I used her once before to make a video tutorial on how to transfer a coloured image onto a candle..
If you haven't seen it yet, I would be thrilled if you watched it now..
I think this is a super fun technique..

As usually I played with my Distress Inks to colour her up..

Here's a list of all the colours if you're interested:

Skin

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Bathtub

Pumice Stone, Black Soot / Legs: Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Pumice Stone

Bubbles
Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone

Background

Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Antique Linen

After I was done with the colouring, I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush to add sparkle to the bubbles and I covered them all with Glossy Accents..

It's super sparkly and the shiny finish is just a cherry on top..

The white dots around her are made with Frantage and I always seal the image with a tiny bit of Distress Micro Glaze to preserve it as much as possible..

The doiles are everywhere.. Again.. Honestly I just cannot work without them..
The texture they give is such a nice touch, don't you think?
Same goes for cheesecloth..
A must for me..

I've used the same Spellbinders circle dies on the inside and the postmarks are also the same ones I used around Tilda..
These are Magnolia stamps as well and this specific set is called New York..

There's a bit of soft lace tied on the tags and another super gorgeous lace from Craft Heaven Shop peeking out on the sides..
And the Perfume Bottle charm hanging on there? Don't you love it?

The Scalloped Tag die is from Magnolia, and so is the Mini Doily that I used on the back of the card..
Another Doohickey you can spot on here is the VideofyMe Bubbles.. Simply perfect for this image..

The paper flowers are from WOC..
They are covered in Gesso and I also added some light touches of Nuvo Crystal Drops on them to make them look like they have water droplets on..
My choice was Morning Dew.. This one dries clear so it was perfect for the job..
The half-pearls are from my stash..

Well.. I think I covered it all..
Hope you'll come back for more..
If you have questions don't hesitate to contact me..
I'm more than glad to help..

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I wish you all an amazing day!

Tilda with Little Chickens..

Hello everyone!

I finally have a new card for you..

A Spring card made for both, the Craft Heaven Shop DT and the Official Magnolia DT..

I picked three of my all time fave Magnolia dies..
They are all so pretty.. I couldn't just stick with one..
They are the Tilda Tag, the Mini Doily (you will find it on the back of the card) and the Chicken Wire..

I used a gorgeous CreaLies die for the card's base..

The papers are all Maja Design..
From the Celebration Collection to be exact..

This sweetie pie is called Tilda with Little Chickens and she's a part of the SunBeam Collection 2018..

I coloured her with Distress Inks..

Here's a list of all the colours I used:

Skin

Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Pants

Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Shirt

Tumbled Glass, Iced Spruce, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Shoes

Walnut Stain, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Grass

Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

Chickens

Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Hickory Smoke

After I was done with the colouring, I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush to add sparkle to the chickens, bows, shirt and pants..

It doesn't show in the picture but it's all sparkly, I promise..

I made the white dots around her with the Frantage embossing powder and sealed everything with a tiny bit of Distress Micro Glaze..

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

I've used a whole lot of doiles everywhere..
One on the front, one on the inside and even a smaller one on the back..
The ovals inside are made with the Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large and Petite Scalloped Ovals Large..

The postmarks are the same ones I used around Tilda..
These two stamp sets are called New York and Postcard..

There's a bit of white Vintage Seam Binding tied on the tag and the super gorgeous lace you see peeking on the sides is the Lace Elisabeth..

My kraft paper of choice is the Bazzil Classic Kraft in 12x12''..
And what do you think about that super cute house charm? I love it!

The paper flowers are from WOC and Magnolia..
They are covered in Gesso..
And I'm sure you noticed there are lots and lots of half-pearls scattered around..

That's all for today lovely people..

Thank you sooo much for popping by!

Rose Cake Tilda..

Hey you!

A promise is a debt so today I'm back with another project for the
Craft Heaven Shop Inspirational Blog..

The theme for this week is Every Moment Matters and I made a precious little gift for a girl that is celebrating her 1st Birthday..

For the card's base I chose a beautiful GoKreate die..

The papers are all Maja Design of course and I mixed a few different paper collections on here..

I used the Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Frost Basics 6x6 Paper Pads and two 12x12 sheets from the Vintage Baby Collection..

Here is my sweet Rose Cake Tilda..

I'm absolutely in love with this image from the BOHO Collection 2015!

I stamped her with Jet Black Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks..

I don't know if you are following my work on Facebook too but if you are I'm sure you saw a video I posted the other day on how to add all those accents around the image..

The video is a total disaster but at least you can see that sometimes things can go really wrong but everything turns out for the best in the end..

Just Never Ever Give Up! LOL!

One of the Magnolia Doohickeys I use the most is the amazing Tilda Tag die..

I used some kraft paper for that and I stamped all over the two tags with the same Magnolia stamp sets I used around the image..

They are called Postcard and New York..

There's also a Kort&Godt postmark there..

I used Memento Rich Cocoa for those and did some second generation stamping..

Then I tied some fab white Vintage Seam Binding on both of them..

I love playing with molds so I made this little frame and some butterflies..

The number 1 is cut with the Tim Holtz Alterations - Vintage Market Alphabet..

The Circles and Scalloped Circles I used to cut out the image are from Spellbinders..

There's a doily behind the image and some Scrapiniec Chipboard to add that extra little something..

I used many many half-pearls and I mixed several colours this time..

The fabulous Lace Fleur is peeking out of there and I placed one of the stunning edge bands of the Maja papers on top of that..

I like to put some Cheesecloth here and there for some extra texture and I found some pearl string in my stash so I used that one also..

All the flowers on this card are from WOC except for one..

The fluffy one is from Prima..

Yeah.. These flowers are really pretty but too pricey if you ask me..

I used one more Doohickey on here..

The amazing Doily Flowers..

I cut them out of vellum and placed them under the other mulberry paper flowers..

All the paper edges are machine sewn because I feel that none of my projects is completely finished without those..

I tried to catch all that sparkle with my camera..
Frosted Lace Stickles on the cake, dress and hair band..
Stardust Stickles on the roses..
Highlights on the eyes and cheeks made with a Ranger White Opaque Pen..
Frantage sprinkled all around her..
And tons of Gesso all over the card..

This is the inside..
A circle and a kraft scalloped circle behind that..
Another gorgeous doily..
Two balloons from one of the Doohickey Club Magazines..
And a few hearts that actualy belong to a banner I used also..
I'm not showing the upper portion of the opened card because I don't want to reveal the name of the girl..

The back of the card..
I like to use my personalized stamp on every single thing I make and that Mini Doily die is just a perfect fit for that..
The border was made with an old Martha Stewart punch that I've been neglecting for too long..

I hope you survived this extremely long post but I'm just sooooo happy to be back!
I missed you all soooo much!
See ya!

Hugs, Tina
