Tilda with Flowers!

Here's Dad's card for Mum, but obviously he didn't make it!!

It's "Tilda with 3 Flowers", coloured with Promarkers, backed on "Pink Petticoat" Vintage Rose collection paper, with some lovely flowers and a ribbon. I've inked all round the edge of the card and the sentiment.

Totally Tilda Easter!

I received this Tilda in a blog candy last year, and thought I'd stamp and colour her to go with the Totally Tilda Easter Special challenge. I've coloured her and the chicks using Promarkers.
The plant pot she is sitting on came from Susie at Die Cut Dreams and I thought it was perfect for a Spring card. The paper is from the Papermania Spring Time pack, and I've added some Capsule Collection flowers, a couple of magazine-freebie eggs and a sentiment. (And I've inked the edge of the page).

Tilda Bookmark & Fancy Fold card

Here's a diagonal double pocket card made from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial.

I've used G.C.D Studios Cloisonne double sided paper to make the actual pocket card. The gardening image on the front is from Beccy's Place  - she has loads of lovely digis to play with! I've coloured with Promarkers, and added "60" in peel-off number to the tea-cup as the card is for my friend's mum's 60th!

In the top pocket of the card I have placed a bookmark, made using gold cardstock, and Tilda with Wedding Gifts, coloured with Promarkers (to match the paper). I printed the sentiment off from Word!! I've added a ribbon and totally forgot to put an eyeley around the hole!! (Too many other things going on at home)!

Tilda with Wedding Gifts!

Ok, so I couldn't wait til tomorrow to post a picture of this card... I may have accidentally (ahem), bought another Tilda to play with, I just couldn't help it - I LOVE this one. It's Tilda with wedding gifts, and I just thought it would be great for EVERYTHING! Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings - anything!

It's for my best friend Mel (another vet), and I can't believe I left it so late to make (it's her birthday on Monday) - September's a busy craft month for me with all these birthdays/wedding/anniversary cards to make!!

I've used My Mind's Eye Summer Papers, and have coloured the lovely Tilda with Promarkers. I've added some Glamour Dust all over the place, and made some punched flowers with pearl stamens & gem petals. The green strip of card is punched with a Martha Stewart scallop punch. Oh, and the sentiment is cut out from one of the My Mind's Eye sheets.

Tilda with flowing hair

Here's a card I've made with "Tilda with Flowing Hair, coloured with my Promarkers (again one from a polo match). I've used two different pieces of My Mind's Eye summer papers, along with some plain Papermania green to contrast again the dark pink. A couple of Papermania Capsule collection flowers, two recycled buttone and some twine (and a peel-off) and it's done!

Tilda Gift Bag for my friend!

I found this template on Wendy's blog this morning and it's just what I needed for my friend Sarah's birthday present (jewellery that I haven't made yet, but I know what I want)!

I've used some more of the Henbury Lane flowered paper, as well as some polkadot paper from a magazine freebie. The image is one from the new wedding collection of Magnolia's. I think she's called "Sitting bridesmaid" - I think weddings are my new favourite thing - after going to one in  May & one in June I'm a bit sad to not have any more to go to this year (unless anyone suddenly decides to get engaged)!

I've coloured Tilda with my Promarkers, and added some lovely flowers around the edge (love roses too!)

Tilda in Pink!

Another stamp coloured with my new Promarkers (I have Lilac, Pastel Pink, Dusky Pink and Apple so far).

I've used 2 papers - the one Tilda is on is from my Forever Friends decoupage pack, and the other is from the Dovecraft Glamour prints pack, with its lovely butterflies and flowers. I scalloped the edge using a Martha Stewart punch. The wire "Sarah" was made by yours truly, and the sentiment is a rub-on from somewhere! Then just a Papermania flower, a brad and a stripe of glitter.

Tilda among the flowers!

I've finally got around to colouring one of the Tilda's I stamped in my little frenzy a few weeks ago, as I found her somewhere new to sit and watch the world go by! The flower pot is a fab die-cut from Susie and I have made the flowers myself using a punch, and distressed them with a nail file. The pink & green textured card is from DCWV scrapbook kit in a stack - I had no idea it would distress until I ripped a bit and it's got a white core! The blue paper is Papermania, the brown is Daisy & Dandelion. I also used my Sizzix flourishes sizzlit that I haven't used for AGES (if ever) for the stems and the little hearts.

Stamping for the Weekend - Purple & Yellow

Here's my entry for the FIRST CHALLENGE!!! The theme is purple and yellow:


I've used some purple cardstock, with yellow polkadot paper from a Simply Cards & Papercraft free papers set. I've used Spring Tilda (again...) and a little Dovecraft flower embellishment!

Whimsy Challenge - Summer fun!

This is my entry for Challenge 4 - I don't own any Whimsy stamps YET (sniff, sniff), so have used a Tilda instead. This card was made for my friend who has moved to Spain, so I wanted to pick some hot summery colours!!


It's actually Spring Tilda coloured with Whispers pens, with some striped paper from DCWV.Scrapbook kit in a stack, and a few little flower embellishments!

Combined Challenge - Friday Sketchers, Just Magnolia & Cute Card Thursday

I've been a bit cheeky and combined three challenges in one with this card:

I've used the Friday Sketcher's sketch:

I've used some green cardstock, with backing papers from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine freebies. The stamp is Sweetheart Tilda, and the butterfly is the compulsory element for the Just Magnolia Animals and Insects theme. I've added some shiny flowers, gems, stars and pearlised paper for the Cute Card Thursday "Bit o' Bling" theme! The sentiment is from a pack of "Sayings rub ons" from the http://www.scrapbookhouse.com/!

ABC & Charisma Cardz Challenge combined!

I've combined ABC Challenge and Charisma Cardz challenges this week (work's been busy so less time for crafting!)

Also a chance to play with my new Spring Tilda stamp!! I've just used textured blue cardstock, with polkadot paper and some peel-offs. The pearls are a variety of little green pearls, heart shaped pearls and pearl-effect hearts!
