Confirmation card..

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I last posted something on here but things are starting to settle down a bit and I'm confident that I will be back on track soon..

Today I wanted to share with you all a card that I made for a colleague.. It's a Confimation card with a stamp that I haven't used in 8 years.. Can you believe it? LOL!

I'm talking about Tilda with a Little Dove.. Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

I used a GoKreate die for the card's base and all the papers are from Maja Design's latest collection called Miles Apart..

I also used some Bazzil Kraft cardstock and a bit of thick vellum..

The list of other dies I used is quite long..

Spellbinders Standard Circles Large (to cut out the image)

Polkadoodles Fanciful Circles (kraft cardstock under the image)

Spellbinders Floral Assortment (the square ornated frame behind the image)

Spellbinders Fancy Edged Circles (inside of the card) 

Magnolia Bloomy Tag (the tag with the Vintage Seam Binding tied on)

Magnolia Angel Wing (no explanation needed)

Magnolia Mini Doily (on the back)

I'm really sorry I didn't take any pics of the inside and back of the card but I was in a hurry..

Next time I will.. I promise..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks and sealed with a thin coat of Distress Micro Glaze to preserve it and prevent from fading..

I made some dots around Tilda with White Opal Liquid Pearls and in the end I added some Stardust Stickles on her wings.. I wish I could show you all that sparkle but I did that after these pictures were already taken..

All the flowers are from WOC and there are some hints of Gesso here and there to make it a bit more shabby..

There's some cheesecloth under the flowers as well for some extra texture..

Then there's my favorite paper doily and lots and lots of pearls..

All the paper edges are distressed and sewn..

The white butterflies were made with an old Martha Stewart mould and some Fimo Air Light..

I'm really glad you took the time to stop by..

I'm a bit rusty but I hope you enjoyed your stay!

I wish you a wonderful day!!

xoxo Tina

Tulip Love Tilda..

Good morning to you all!

It's time to share another make, don't you think?

Those of you who are following me on my Facebook page have already seen some 'work in progress' pics of this, but now I'm finaly ready to share the final result with you..

I started colouring this adorable Tilda quite some time ago and this card was my project for the 3rd TOMIC Challenge, but since I was a bit behind, I decided to postpone this post a bit further and use my card as a reminder for the current challenge..

So if you haven't joined us yet, I sincerely hope this post inspires you to do so..

The theme for this month's challenge is Mayflowers..

That's a good one, right?

Enough with the blabbering..
Here's my card..

I am a big fan of cutting dies.. You know that..

And as most of the times I picked a GoKreate set for the card's base..

But let me tell you..

I have a serious addiction to CreaLies dies as well..

They are really growing on me and as you can see I've used them again..

This time I had a play with the Squares with Cross Stitches.. That's what I used to cut the image out..

I keep repeating myself but you get so many sizes in each set, and the price point is awesome!!

I love, love, love them and I will be getting more soon..

I simply need them all! LOL!
Well.. Maybe not all but my wishlist is getting longer and longer..
Check them out HERE.. They are absolutely fantastic!

Here she is.. Tulip Love Tilda from the Hugs & Kisses Collection 2019..

Stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Inks as usual..

If you're interested in the list of colours just let me know..

The sentiment on her right is from that same collection..

Another detail I'm loving to death is that Round Cabochon on the left..

I cut that beautiful rose out of the paper I used on the back of the card, placed it inside the cabochon and topped it with lots of Glossy Accents..

I'm sure you recognized the paper collection..

Yep.. One of Maja Design's most amazing products..

The Sofiero line..

When it comes to kraft paper, my go to paper is the Bazzil Classic - 12x12 - Kraft..

Let's talk some more about dies..

Lots of Magnolia Doohickeys on here..

The Sakura Background is peeking out on the top and bottom of the card and I placed some wonderful flower sequins on the flowers to add more sparkle..

The Tilda Tickets on the top right corner..

And that tiny tag hanging from the flowers.. The heart on it is from the Heart Band Aid set..

The flowers are from WOC if you were wondering..

There's a doily inside..

The heart dies are from Marianne Design..

This set is called Craftables - Basic Shapes - Hearts..

On the back of the card you can see that I used the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and a die from the Triple Tear set..

Another doily, and some more half-pearls..

Check out that cabochon once again..

I really, really love it!

The image has a light coat of Distress Micro Glaze on, because I always protect my images with that..

The highlights are made with a Ranger White Opaque Pen and I also used a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the Tulip..

Gesso, lace and cheesecloth add that extra shabby feel to the whole thing..

So this is what I have for you today..

 Now go create something and join in the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love ya!

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..

Cheeks

Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany

Hair

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

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..

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!

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
