Totally Tilda DT Midway Spots and Stripes

Hi everyone, I'm here with my Midway Reminder today for 

Totally Tilda's

current challenge - 

Spots and Stripes!

 I hope you can join us, it's a nice easy one to make a card for any occasion - just include spots, stripes and our lovely Tilda :)

My base shape is a Go Kreate die and the paper is a double sided design by Stamping Up that I've had ages and forgotten about until now. I wrapped some red velvet ribbon round the base paper a couple of times and tied a hanger charm onto the bow. I tucked my tag under the ribbon and coloured Dancing Queen Tilda with distress inks.

Challenges I would love to enter:

Simply Magnolia - Anything Goes

(Since my last post I found out I'd been picked to be Guest Designer for Simply Magnolia ((thanks ladies for picking me :)) and I am sooooo excited about it as I've never been asked to be a GD before - so watch this space for that coming up in the near future!)

Tilda's Town - Fussy and Fancy

Debbie Dolphin - Anything Goes Challenge Candy Giveaway

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Pretty Little Ribbon shop

and if that wasn't worth entering for, there's also the chance of being handpicked by the DT to be one of our Top 3 favourite creations.

Can't wait to see more fab spots and stripes Tilda creations this week and thanks for taking a peek at my contribution to the midway inspiration, don't forget to take a look at the rest of the design teams magnificent work over on the Totally Tilda challenge blog.

#66 Spots and Stripes for Totally Tilda

Morning everyone,

Well, I guess you all loved the Valentine's theme as much as I did judging by the extremely high level of work entered into Totally Tilda's last challenge! Check to see if you were one of our handpicked Top3 or the winner this time. Now I'd better tell you about our brand new
Totally Tilda 
challenge which is 

Spots and Stripes 

and as you know by now Tilda's got to be the main image on your card/project.

This week I decorated a book box and kept it fairly neutral so it could be given as a gift for any occasion.

The Tilda's were coloured using distress inks, I added stardust stickles to the hem of her dress and the flower centre but you can't see that very well and I used my pearl maker that the lovely Susie gave me (thanks sweetie!) although I think I need a bit of practice with it so don't look too closely lol!

On the inside I made the left hand side recess into the space for a written message. I made a lid for the right hand side with an acetate window behind 'Tilda loves Flowers'

Under the lid I partitioned the recess to put embellies in.

Supplies:

Book Box

Magnolia DooHickey stitched scalloped lace border and sweet lovely lace border

SU zigzag stitch stamp

TH clock hand die

Spellbinder nestie labels nine and foliage

everything else is from my stash

We are lucky to be sponsored by Pretty Little Ribbon Shop for this challenge

Bunny Zoes - Flowers and pearls

Morning blogland!

Today sees the start of another brand new challenge over at 

Totally Tilda 

and as love is in the air this week we would like to see your 

Valentine Tilda 

creations over the next two weeks. As you know by now, Tilda has to be the main star of your cards and projects, and this fortnight she has to be all loved up!

This time I made a variation on the tealight/easel card, it is for hubby for Valentines (don't know if he'll appreciate it or not but kept the colours less girly and although it was a struggle I managed to leave off the flowers!)

The base for the easel is made using Go Kreate's Frilly #8 die and I covered it with BoBunny Love letters paper.

Up, Up and away Tilda was coloured with TH DI's and I added some SU linen thread for the balloon string.

The Post card text is part of a Whimsy stamp.

I measured and made my own box for the heart-shaped candle (which you can't really see in these pictures :( and I created a tucked tab at the end nearest the candle (for easy removal) and a drawer at the other end to hold the cloud tag book I made for writing something slushy and sentimental on lol!

Doohickeys used: stitched scalloped lace, cloud.

I used spellbinder nestie labels 23 for the candle aperture and frame behind Tilda.

The I love You sentiment stamp is from a beautiful stamp set I was given by the lovely Susie, and the charm too - Thanks hun x

Cheesecloth, ribbon and button from stash.

I gave the sewing machine a week off and just drew on some faux stitching here and there.

Photo Inspiration Totally Tilda #64

Hellooooo,

Well I have been flabbergasted by the incredibly high level of work entered into Totally Tilda's last challenge, it's been fab seeing so many stunning creations and visiting all the awesome blogs. Today sees the start of another 

Totally Tilda challenge

 and this fortnight it's a 

Photo Inspiration theme.

I made a heart shaped box and matching tag, sorry about the picture quality it's the best I could get from the light tent.

I printed a heart shape off the internet, made a top and bottom out of brown card and then created sides to make it into a box. I covered the sides in BoBunny Love Letters DP and lace, and covered the lid in Marianne Creatable rolled flowers.

I used old keyring pieces to create the chain for the heart and key charms along with Tilda's Ticket. The beautiful DP, charms and Love stamp were part of a lovely gift from boss lady, Susie (thanks so much hun xxx), cheesecloth and corrugated card completed the layers. Although Sneaky Tilda  is from the Christmas 2010 collection, she is relatively neutral and could be used for almost any gift giving occasion.

Our Photo for Inspiration this fortnight is rather yummy, check it out:

I took inspiration from the gorgeous brown and pink colour combo, and my interpretation of the pink heart was my heart shaped box with beautiful pink rolled flowers.

We are lucky to be sponsored this time by The Ribbon Girl


with a generous prize for one winner of a £10 voucher for the store.

Challenges I would love to enter:
Magnolialicious Highlites  - Love theme
Tilda's Town - Celebrate (Love)

I hope you can join us sometime over the next to weeks and with such a scrummy photo to inspire you there's plenty of scope for some inventive projects. Thanks for visiting my blog your comments are always treasured. Have a wonderful week - I'm going to Center Parcs on Monday and really looking forward to it. I will be taking some Tilda's to colour in so I don't get withdrawal symptoms lol!
Hugs,

MW #63 Tilda's still wearing trousers

Hi everyone, I'm back this Sunday to remind you that you have about a week left to enter 

TOTALLY TILDA'S

 current challenge which is

 TILDA WEARING TROUSERS,

 and boy does she need them at the moment with all this snow and ice around lol!

Remember to use Tilda (in trousers) as your main image, Edwin and other Magnolia images can accompany her as long as Tilda is the star of your creation :)

This week I've been free from the restraints of making a specific card so I decided to put my Tilda in a frame I've had for ages and just got round to using.

Tilda riding scooter was coloured using Black soot DI

I heat embossed the snowflakes in silver, added stardust stickles on Tilda's polka dot scarf and put a touch of glossy accents on the scooters light. The edges of the image were machine stitched and inked with more Black soot ink.

The flowers on the frame were made using Magnolia DooHickey peony petal and snowflake, adding a clear gem button to each centre.

Our wonderful sponsor is still Nikki from

Bunny Zoes Crafts

with this fab prize for one lucky winner

Challenges I would like to enter:
Bunny Zoes - Anything Goes
Magnolialicious Highlights - Anything Goes
Tildas Town - All Bundled Up

Can't wait to see more of your creations this week, thanks as always for visiting me today
Hugs,

HAPPY NEW YEAR lol! Sorry I'm late in wishing you all the best for 2013, but better late than never as they say :) The lack of blog posts from me just lately is because I was poorly before Christmas with the sickness bug and after Christmas with flu! It therefore goes without saying that I'm so pleased to finally be feeling better, even though a full three weeks on I'm still blowing my nose, and back to my happy place - my crafting desk!

I'm so pleased to be here today with my first 

Totally Tilda

 creation of 2013, the challenge theme being

 Tilda wearing Trousers

 - so as long as we see the lovely Tilda you can make whatever you like this fortnight. I had a birthday card to make for my mums friend for the end of the month so this is it:

A postcard designed card with turned down top left corner for a tag

DP's are Little Yellow Bicycle - Swoon

Magnolia DooHickey's used are vintage tag and heart branch swirl

The reverse of the postcard

Stamps used are Whimsy mini postage stamps and part of the Whimsy postcard stamp

Kaisercraft chapter one and postage clear stamps

Added  this photo to show dimension that the WOC flowers give and a close up of Tilda with little pocket

We are generously sponsored this time by Nikki from Bunny Zoe Crafts
