Tilda's Town Challenge #138 - It's About Love..

Hello my dear followers!

I promised that I will be posting more often and here I am with a new creation..

This time for Tilda's Town..

This week's theme is It's About Love..

So.. This is my creation..

I think that at some point we all had a diary where we used to write all our thoughts, problems, love matters etc.

I know I was the most 'productive' when I was in loooovee.. LOL!

With that in mind I made a notebook/diary where you can put all your love thoughts.. Or not..

All these gorgeous papers are from Maja Design..

I don't know which collections they are from cos' I've used all the bottom stripes and have no clue what their names are..

There's a beautiful Heart Doily up there and I've tucked those birdies under the image..

These are from the Doohickey Club Magazine Vol.3..

I didn't glue them down because they are meant to be used as a bookmark..

You can simply pull them out and put them back there when you don't need them..

I made all the corners with my molds and some Fimo..

There's another doily down here..

And some Frantage, pearls, Gesso, lace..

I've used some Vintage Seam Binding for the closing..

The border was made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Sweet Lovely Lace..

Here are some gorgeous pins, sprays and flowers from my stash..

With a bit of cheesecloth under them and a touch of Gesso on them..

Some more flowers and a tiny butterfly sitting on them..

The postmarks are from Kort & Godt..

And as you can see all the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

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

The white dots around her are made with Frantage..

I've added two rhinestones in the corners..

Hope you can see all the sparkle on the flowers and on her bandana..

A look from the side..

And here you can see the birdies in all their beauty..

Cute, right?

I know this post is picture heavy but I really hope you enjoyed it..

I can't wait to see what you create for this week's challenge..

I'm sure it's gonna be amazing..

Tilda's Town Challenge #129 - Anything Goes

Hey guys!

I've been neglecting my Edwins for too long..

But you know what? Male cards are really not my thing..

A good friend of mine asked me to make a card for a gentleman who's celebrating his 60th Birthday..

She said: "..and no lace and no flowers!!!"..

Are you kidding me??

How am I gonna do that? LOL!

I had no choice.. 

Here's my card with Edwin With Derbyhat from the Little London Collection 2013..

I've decided to use this card for Tilda's Town new challenge Anything Goes..

Here are some more details..

The papers are from Pion Design and Maja Design..

My absolute favourites when talking about designer paper..

There's a doily and some cheesecloth.. I couldn't resist..

You can also see a light bulb charm and some corrugated cardboard painted with a bit of Gesso and Picket Fence Crackle Paint..

I really wanted to keep it simle so I used two super cute bronze buttons from my stash and some thin natural cord..

I've also added two brads on the corners of the image..

The postmarks are from Kort & Godt..

The paper edges are distressed and sewn..

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

I've only used a few colours this time:

Pumice Stone, Weathered Wood, Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Black Soot, Antique Linen and Old Paper..

The dots around the image are made with Chunky White Frantage..

So.. This is my creation..

I know I haven't posted anything for like ages and I'm ashamed.. But I'm slowly putting all the pieces together and I'll be back on track very very soon.. Promise.. ;)

I've finally had the time to finish my notebook with Tilda With Summer Pants..

Remember my 'Tinchy Technique'? No?? Here's the link to the post..

I've seen a lot of crafters all around the globe trying this technique and I couldn't be prouder..

Thank you all so much!!!

You've probably seen the notebook on the Tilda's Town challenge Blog already..

Well.. Here are all the details..

The papers are from Maja Design.. I just love the Sofiero Collection..

The Viewmaster/Pinweel die is from Magnolia..

And so are some of the postmark stamps I used around..

The other postmarks are from Kort&Godt..

The lace and doily are from my stash..

The 'You Are Beautiful' stamp is from the Stempelglede Follow Your Heart set..

Here's a close up of the wonderful WOC and Kort&Godt flowers I used..

There's some cheesecloth under those too and I covered them with Gesso..

This fantastic charm is from my stash..

I've added a touch of Gesso on it and again some cheesecloth and a wonderful flower..

All the DP's edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool, inked with Walnut Stain and machine sewn..

This cutie is called Tilda With Summer Pants..

It's a stamp from the Pink Lemonade Collection 2014..

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

I use both the ink pads and reinkers for my colouring..

I used a regular ball pen to colour the eyes..

The small pearls around her are made with Liquid Pearls, the bigger ones are just regular self-adhesive half-pearls..

Well.. That's it guys..

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I really hope you enjoyed..

Tilda's Town Challenge #117 - Flowers On It..

Hi everyone!

I'm finally able to write this post..

I know I'm pretty late but I hope this works as a reminder..

We have a fantastic challenge running over at Tilda's Town this week..

It's really simple.. Flowers On It..

I made a gift bag for a Baby Boy this time..

I've used once again Sleeping Baby Tilda from the Cozy Family Autumn Collection 2010..

I never get tired of using this one on my creations.. LOL!

I've used some blue organza ribbon for the handles..

The image was cut out using a Spellbinders Oval and I placed a matching Scalloped Oval under it..

The next layer is the cheesecloth..

And then a doily..

Some gorgeous patterned paper cut with a GoKreate die..

And again some cheesecloth and two more layers of paper..

I've used a lot of homemade embellies on this one..

The corners are made with a mold I bought on Ebay..

Then there's the frame..

And I've also made a cute little sitting angel and placed it on one of the corners of the frame..

Cute, right?

There are tons of flowers and berries all over the place.. All covered with some gesso..

And there's (of course) some beautiful cotton lace too..

I love, love, love the shabby organza trim with pearls too..

All the papers are from Maja Design..

The sentiment is from Stempelglede..

There's even a cute little pacifier laying there..

There are also some paper flowers with pearls here and there..

I made those with a Martha Stewart punch..

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

The flourishes around the image are made with a Stempelglede stamp..

All the paper edges are distressed with some Walnut Stain and machine sewn..

I've used some Chunky White Frantage around the image and some Stickles on the wings..

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

Hope you can join us in this fantastic challenge..

Don't forget..

There's a fantastic prize up for grabs for one lucky random winner..

Strawberries anyone??

Hello there!
I'm finally here with a new creation..
I've had some health issues again and I've decided to use this box for both Live & Love Crafts and Tilda's Town..
I got the LLC theme completely wrong guys.. I'm truly blonde.. LOL!

Anyway.. Here's my Summer Strawberry Tilda from the Animals Of The Year Collection 2014..

I've used some Maja Design papers from the Vintage Autumn Basics 6x6 paper pad..

I don't use red a lot but I didn't like the idea of making pink strawberries.. It just didn't feel right..

So this colour combo is pretty unusual for me..

Check out those gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort & Godt flowers..

And the lace?? Fabulous isn't it?

There's also a Melissa Frances doily under there and lots and lots of pearls everywhere..

I love adding the Shabby Seam Binding around my boxes.. And I also like to finish the whole thing with a Bark Heart and a flower on top..
All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool, then inked with some Walnut Stain and machine sewn..
The heart border on the lid was made using a Martha Stewart punch..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks..
I've used some Liquid Pearls around her..
The postmark stamp is from Magnolia too.. 

All the strawberries are made with Magnolia Doohickey dies..

One is called Strawberry and the other one Strawberry Tag.. 

You can find all the links to the LLC products used at the end of this post..

The links to Tilda's Town are highlighted..

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs, Tina
