Pisces Tilda

I haven't done a Tilda card for a while so thought it was about time I did one using my new Pisces Tilda stamp that I won from a challenge blog a couple of weeks ago. This card is for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #65 to use ribbon or a bow (I did both!), In The Pink's Challenge #41 to make any shaped card, but not a square, Crafty Little Fairies Challenge to create a vintage/shabby chic card (I think mine is almost there) and for Creative Inspirations' Challenge #259 to use lace (you can just about see mine behind the ribbon).

And here's my card - I used loads of Silhouette Portrait die cuts on this one including the card base. Not sure if there's too many flowers, but I like it (Another Silhouette die cut - love being able to make these in all different sizes!)!

Fabulous Tilda

I just love this new Tilda stamp - I think she looks fabulous! This card is for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #61 Seeing Red, Viva La Verve's Sketch #1 for February and for Charisma Cardz Challenge #4 to be inspired by a movie. Even my boyfriend managed to guess this one. Got it yet?

And here's my fabulous Tilda! And in case you haven't guessed it's the scene from Pretty Woman when Edward takes Vivian to the opera and she wears the most gorgeous red dress. I would so love a necklace like the one she wore as well, but I think it's just a little out of my price range hehe! Couldn't get her hair right on this one today though - I think one of my grey Copics must be running out as it started to go all sticky and wouldn't blend at all. Will have to see if I have a reinker or not.

A Pink Fluttering Thank You

I was in a butterfly mood earlier today so pulled out my Sitting Tilda with Butterfly stamp to use for the Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #59 to use lace (not sure if you can see mine but it's the pink vertical strip running down the middle), Totally Tilda's Challenge #87 Anything Goes, In The Pink's Challenge Anything Goes and for Viva La Verve's Sketch #2 for January. This sketch worked really well on a slightly bigger 5 x 7 inch card.

And here's my card - I used this gorgeous paper which I found in a box that I bought ages ago from Live & Love Crafts but never used it. It's so pretty and the strip across the bottom looked just like some pretty ribbon so added that on otp of the lace as well. I don't usually bother with those little strips running along the edge of 12x12 sheet but this one was perfect. 

Recipe:

Stamps: Sitting Tilda with Butterfly from Magnolia, Mini Blooms from Papertrey Ink

Lily Rose says Thanks

Thought I would do something a bit different for the current Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #58, which is an Anything Goes challenge. Instead using a Tilda stamp, I pulled out this gorgeous Lily Rose the dragon stamp from Magnolia to use as a thank you card for my friend Red, who collects dragons and I know will love it! I'm also entering this card into Papertake Weekly's Challenge Pick of the Year, in which we had to pick a challenge from the last year to (re)do so I picked their Giving Thanks challenge from  November.

And here's my Lily Rose - isn't she just a sweetie?! Went with a bright, funky colour scheme as well as red isn't really a pinky kind of girl, but I know she'll like this one! I kept the embellishments to a minimum as well as I wanted Lily and the banner to take centre-stage as it were.  Love how this one came out!

My new Tilda

I have absolutely loads of Tilda stamps so try to limit myself to only buying one or two of the ones I like from every new collection otherwise I wouldn't have anywhere to store them, let alone be able to afford them all!

This card is for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #56 Anything Goes, Charisma Cardz Challenge #47 All Distressed and The Ribbon Girl's Christmas Challenge for November.

And here she is...I distressed all the edges and inked them up, but got a bit carried away and you can't really tell what the original colour of the patterned papers were - oh well. I still like it! And a touch of Shabby Blue Frantage for the look of snow!

House of Cards Month 5 Colour/Photo Inspiration Challenge

It's the fifth month of the House of Cards Challenge and this month Mynette has chosen a lovely colour palette/inspiration photo for us to use. As soon as I saw this photo I knew I had to use my Poppy Tilda out in the fields herself! Love how striking these poppies are!

We want you to be inspired by the photo, the colors, or both! If you go with the colors, please choose at least 3. Let your imagination take flight! Some of us are in autumn, some in spring, so we tried to find a combo that would work for both seasons. And perhaps even holiday cards?!

This week it's the Fun & Cute Design Team's turn and here's my card...

Recipe:

I did a little crafting shopping on Friday as it was payday and bought this new Tilda stamp which has been on my wishlist forever! She's just such a cutie all dressed up as a sweet pea flower!

Skateboarding Tilda

This week's challenge #75 at Totally Tilda was to use a tomboy Tilda image and to NOT use pink, so I pulled out my Skateboarding Tilda as other than the Chef Tilda stamp, I don't have any other tomboy images. I combined this one with Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #34 to use dots or gingham, Sketchy Challenge #51 for the sketch, which I changed around slightly as I thought Tilda looked better in the middle but I wanted her to stand out more and finally for Color Throwdown's Challenge #249 to use the colours below.

And here's my card. So it wasn't overly girly I left off my usual paper flowers and just added a bit of ribbon.

Recipe:

Stamps: Skateboarding Tilda, Brick Wall both from Magnolia, Enjoy The Ride, Polka Dot Basics II both from Papertrey Ink

Papers: Bermuda Bay, Brilliant Blue (Retired), Whisper White, In Colors 2010-12 DSP (Retired) all from Stampin' Up, Copic X-Press It Blending Card

Tripping Flowers Tilda

This week's Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #33 is to go all shabby chic - I think I've got the look on this card. This is a style of cardmaking that I love, but just cannot pull off very well as I'm too OCD to do it! I like things to be neat and symmetrical and find the messy shabbiness goes against that OCD of mine LOL. This card took me absolutely ages and I had to keep telling myself it was ok if it didn't look perfect and a bit aged, as that was what it needed. (Gosh I sound so anal :P) I covered so much of it up with embellishments but all the edges are distressed with both inks and a distressing tool. Threw in a bit of frantage (which again had to be just on the corners, not all over the place!) and I think it's as shabby chic as I can do. Totally love it though, so might just make another one! Hehe!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Tripping Flowers Tilda from Magnolia, Everyday Button Bits from Papertrey Ink

Papers: Rose Red, Soft Suede, Whisper White all from Stampin' Up, Once Upon A Time Red Rose Ornament Paper, Special Moments Riffard Roses Paper both from Magnolia, Memorable Journey Adventure Paper from My Mind's Eye, Copic X-Press It Blending Card

Butterfly by Crazy Town

I went to my local craft store yesterday for a full day class making Saturated Canary cards and whilst there I had a bit of a splurge, including this gorgeous new Tilda stamp which fits perfectly with Totally Tilda's Challenge #74 which was to make a card inspired by a song title - well one of my fave oldies is Butterfly by Crazy Town and just had to use this stamp for it! (Just glad we didn't have to be inspired by the actual lyrics as they're a little naughty!). This one is also for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #32 to use bright colours and for Totally Gorguss' Challenge #189 to make a birthday card.

And here's she is...This card seemed to take its own path this afternoon. The tag was supposed to be a pull out one but kept falling off the card so I decided to stick it on permanently instead which changed where I put everything else, but I do quite like it!

Recipe:

Stamps: Sitting Tilda with Butterfly from Magnolia, Beautiful Butterflies, Heart-2-Heart #2 both from Papertrey Ink

Papers: Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP all from Stampin' Up, Neenah Solar Crest

Pretty in Pink Princess

My final card of the weekend is for Cupcake Crafts Challenge #241 for the sketch, Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #26 Anything Goes, Totally Tilda Challenge #70 to use create a pink princess Tilda and for CC425 to use this gorgeous colour combo! After putting everything together I realised I hadn't got anywhere to put a sentiment so created a little pull out tag with it on instead - fun way to hide one as well. It does go all the way behind the image panel, but I thought I would show the tag pulled out.

And here's my card.

Recipe:

Stamps: Princess Tilda from Magnolia, Half & Half from Papertrey Ink

Papers: Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey, Whisper White, Subtles DSP Stack, In Colors 2010-12 DSP STack (Retired) all from Stampin' Up, Neenah Solar Crest

Ballerina Birthday

My final card of today is for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #25 to use pearls and lace and for CC424 to use this pretty colour combo (I did swap Cameo Coral out for Calypso Coral as I have virtually nothing left of the former!). Initially I only added the lace along the centre piece but didn't feel that was enough so added a load to the back of my oval nestie and I love how girlie this made the card look! I didn't add any flowers this time like I would normally as I thought it was busy enough as it was!

And here's my card.

Recipe:

Stamps: Ballerina Tilda from Magnolia, Celebration Circle Pennants from Whimsy Stamps

Because You're Special

This card is for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #256 (Hope you can see it buried under all the roses!) and for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #24 to make a card for a special lady. This was actually my second attempt at this card as the first colour scheme I chose just did not work when all the pieces were put together so I swapped out one of the colours for the purples and now I really like it.

Tilda with a Big Ice Cream

I bought this Tilda stamps a couple of months ago and hadn't used her, so when I decided to pair up my Tilda challenges with the colour combo from Play Date Cafe's Challenge #178 I thought she would be perfect! This is also for Totally Tilda's Challenge #70 to use heat embossing (my sentiment and flourish on the other end of the panel and faux stitching on the image are all heat embossed), for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #255 for sketch and for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #23 to use bling.

Summer Tilda with Flower

I went a little more way out than usual on this card and I do have to say I totally love how it looks! I did wonder if it was all just too much on the card, but I love it! This one is for Totally Tilda's Challenge #68 to make a shaped card (I used my Go Kreate Frilly Frames #5 for my card base, so not quite a square), for Marvelous Magnolia's Challenge #20 to use wings and for Play Date Café's Challenge #175 to use these gorgeous colours.
