Celebration At Tilda's Town

Hi everyone, Friday at last and time for another challenge at Tilda's Town, our theme this week is 'Celebrate', so I went for a Birthday Card.

I've coloured Tilda With Big Icr Cream in with Distress Markers, and added glamour dust and aged aqua frantage.

The papers are from Pion Designs new collection, the edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain.

All of the links are at the end of the post. 

I can't miss my arty shot out, lol.

I'm sorry, I don't know what has happened to my photo's, but I have so many cards to schedule before I go away, and then packing for a family of four I just havn't had time to take more.

Background Stamp At Tilda's Town

Hi everyone, hope you have had a nice week? I'm here with my DT card for Tilda's Town, this week we want to see your cards with a background stamp, I need to make a card for someone who is getting their first house, and this image I think is perfect (it's not the first time I've used it for this purpose).

I've coloured Root Cellar with distress markers, and added stickles to the flowers for sparkle.

I've eventually got round to using my Whimsey Alphabet Stamp set.

There are links to all of the products that I've used at the end of the post.

The rolled roses are by Kort og Godt, the roses and carnations are from WOC.

Tilda's Town

Hi everyone, I've got some great news, I'm once again part of the Design Team at Tilda's Town, yay. Pam emailed me the other day, and of course I had to accept. Our theme this week is Fussy and Fancy or Understated and Elegant, I aimed for UE, and for me it is.

I couldn't not have any flowers on, I really did try to keep it to a minimum. Once again I have used some of the new papers from Maja Design.

The roses are from WOC, everything else has been linked at the end of the post.

A nice arty shot of my flowers.

I'm entering this into 'Anything Goes' at Marvelous Magnolia and also 'Spring Colours' at Divas By Design.

Winter Weather at Tilda's Town

Hi my lovelies, it's practically the weekend and as this goes live I should be on the way to Blackpool for my son's 7th birthday treat :)

It's time for another challenge at Tilda's Town, and this week our theme is 'Winter Weather'.

I have to confess that I don't often buy Edwin stamps, but when I saw Ski Edwin With Snowflakes he just jumped into my basket, isn't he cute and with the falling snowflakes he's perfect for this challenge. I've coloured him in with my distress markers.

The papers are from last years Christmas pad from Maja Design, and I've added some jute fabric behind Edwin.

The snowflake dies have been cut from an iridescent paper which hasn't been picked up too well on the photo's.

Hope you all have a fab weekend,

Hugs,

Merry Christmas At Tilda's Town

Hello everyone, the weekend is almost upon us and it's time for another challenge at Tilda's Town, this week our theme is Merry Christmas.

I decided to make my first ever shaker card, it was fun to do I just wished I'd chosen a smaller image as the frame took some doctoring. I've coloured Snowy Tilda in with my distress markers. The papers are by Maja Design, this is last years collection, I can't wait to get my mits on this years.

I've distressed the edges and machine sewn them with top stitch thread. The roses are from WOC, the chrysanths are from here, the berries were a gift of the lovely Mary and are available here. I've covered the flowers in stickles.

To hide the foam pads I've wrapped natural twine around the shaker just to tidy it up a bit, and I've kept the natural theme going buy wrapping it round the card and by adding a snowflake charm from my stash, I've also added jute fabric behind the image.

I've ran the acetate through a snowfall embossing folder just to add to the snow scene.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges;
'Shaker Card' at MDUC
'Use Kraft' Dutch Magnolia Chickies
'Anything Goes' Deep Ocean Challenges.
'Anything Goes' at Fashionista Challenges.

Please have a look over at Tilda's Town where there is some amazing inspiration from my teammates.

I'm Thankful at Tilda's Town

Hi, I'm back again, it's Team A's turn at Tilda's Town Challenges and this week our theme is 'I'm Thankful'. I live in the UK, so don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so I've made a Thank You card with Summer Flower Tilda.

I've coloured her in with my distress markers and added Glamour Dust to make her sparkle. The papers are from Maja Design, I've used a Tim Holtz On The Edge Die, and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I've used Natural Soft Hessian Mesh and Ivory Lace and Pearl Trim to go behind the image, I've carefully removed the pearls that would have been behind the image and used them in the smaller flower display. The roses are from WOC and the Cream Chrysanth is available from The Ribbon Girl.

I've also used Ivory Pearl Rose Organza, 5mm Ivory Pearl String and 5mm Ivory Self Adhesive Pearls. The sentiment is from LOTV.

Pop over to Tilda's Town for the amazing inspiration from the DT, there is a Store Voucher for Tilda's Town for the winner.

I'm entering this card into the 'More Than Two Colours Challenge' at Deep Ocean Challenges, and the Anything Goes with the option of fabric at Just Magnolia & Hanglar Stanglar.

Hope you'r all OK,

Hugs,

Choose Your Passion At Tilda's Town

Hi my lovelies, this week at Tilda's Town we're giving you the chance to choose your passion, either CAS or Fussy and Fancy. I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone and do a CAS card, but it wasn't happening. How can I make a card without using the gorgeousness I have in my attic??

I've coloured Christmas Tilda With Cat with my distress markers and added a small sprinkle of Glamour Dust. The paper is from the new Christmas Release from Inkido available from Live & Love Crafts. I've distressed all of the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

The pearl trim and the roses are all from WOC. The adhesive pearls and the Velvet Lace are from The Ribbon Girl.

There's a Melissa Frances Mini Paper Bag and Tag with some Golden Latte Shabby Seam Binding and a Gold Jingle Bell which has been tied on with Button Twine.

The papers are from Magnolia, I love the paper with all of the mushrooms on. I've used a couple of Doohickey Dies and a discontinued Quickutz corner die. The fabby Beaded White Swirl Branch is available from The Ribbon Girl. I've also used Ivory Looped Organza Trim.

The roses and cherry blossoms are from WOC and the carnations are from here.

Scooter Tilda at Tilda's Town

Hi everyone, not long for the weekend now, well not in the UK anyway, but I've got the short straw and I'm on nights again tonight, but it keeps me in crafty bits so every cloud and all of that ;).

This week we have an anything goes challenge at Tilda's Town Challenges.

I've coloured Scooter Tilda, from the Turning Leaves collection, with my distress markers. I found a last sheet of this paper, which is from Maja Design from a few collections ago, I was brave and cut into it. It was a hard decision I can tell you, but the colours went great, so after a little talk with myself reminding me that I bought the paper to make cards with, it was cut. The edges have been distressed, and machine sewn with Top Stitching Thread.

I've used 32 mm White Pure Silk Ribbon to make my big bow, I think I'm in a big bow phase again, lol. The card has also been trimmed with White Teeny Tiny Pom Pom Trim and I've also used a few 5mm Ivory Pearls.

The roses and the poppy are from Wild Orchid Crafts, but those fantastic Chrysanthemums from Kort and Godt are now available from The Ribbon Girl, they have them in both white and cream.

Pop over to Tilda's Town Challenges and have a look at the great creations my team mates have made, we can't wait to see your creations too. 

I hope you have a great weekend, here in the UK we have a bank holiday coming up, and after tonight I'm not at work until 1pm on Wednesday, so I've got a lovely long (and crafty) weekend planned. I'm entering this card into the Summer Flower Challenge at Wild Orchid Challenge. Also check out my Birthday Candy here.

Hugs,

Little Tilda

Me again, three posts in one day-again, it's getting to be a bit of a habit, lol. I'm here now to tell you about the new challenge at Tilda's Town Challenges, this week we want to see your shabby chic creations. When I saw this challenge I thought 'yay', this is right up my street, my cards tend to have a shabby chic feel about them, well that is until I come to do a shabby chic card and well..........

I've just got my Little Tilda and had to colour her in immediately, I love the short straight haired Tilda's. I've used my distress markers again, and loads of glamour dust. The paper is from Magnolias Christmas 2011 collection, I've toned the poinsettia paper down with some gesso. The edges have been distressed using a Tim Holtz distresser and machine sewn using Top Stitch Thread.

The roses are from wild orchid crafts, the White Magnolia Shabby Chic Dahlia is from Live & Love Crafts. I've also used an Idea-ology Memo Pin and some Chrysanths from Kort og Godt.

Pop over to Tilda's Town where the DT inspiration is once again amazing, I'm blown away every time I take a peek of what these girls have created.

Hugs,

Becky x
