Father's Day Motion Card

Good afternoon!  Today I would like to share with you the Father's Day card I have made for my dad featuring Fixer Upper Edwin from the Fixer Upper Collection and Edwin's Oldsmobile car from the Summer Memories Collection.

I have painted Edwin with Distress Inks using the no lines techique and added dots to his cheeks and eyes with a white gel pen before cuttin him out.  He is placed on 3D pads.  All of the papers on this card are by Maja Design with the exception of the paper I have used for the floor and the scene outside the window.

Edwin's Oldsmobile was also painted with Distress Inks.  I created a DAD numberplate to replace the CUBA one that is on the stamp.  I have covered the paintwork and windows of the car with Glossy Accents and the headlights with Stardust Stickles.

The window was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 9 and I placed a section of paper from Pion Design for the scene outside the window.  I've added Glossy Accents to the window panes too.

The metal store ornament from my stash is a great way of adding some interest to cards for males.

The cute hammer and brush are charms from Craft Heaven.

I love using dies in different ways.  The ramp is made from the bottom of the Eiffel Tower Doohickey from Volume 3!  The oil patches are part of a stamp from the Magnolia Day Art stamp kit.  I just inked the larger splatters.

Watch my video to see how this card moves!  It took a while to figure out how to make the car move up when I wanted the pull tab to be on the side rather than on top but I love how it turned out!

A Gift Bag

Good afternoon!  I have made a gift bag this week for my Craft Heaven post using two gorgeous new Tilda's from the latest stamp kit.  I have used a mixture of Maja Design papers and papers from my stash.

I don't know the name of these images yet but this Tilda isn't holding the present, she comes with her outstretched hand which you could place all sorts of the small accessory stamps on, which is great!  I've used the small gift stamp that came with the set.  I have painted with Distress Inks and used a white gel pen for the dots on her eyes and cheeks.

The bag was cut with the heart frame from Vintage Box 5 and the balloons are also Doohickey dies.

 The sentiment is from the Raising the Ceiling collection and I have added lace and flowers from Craft Heaven.

I also added a rose gold glitter star that I recycled from a bought card.

I used the cut off strips from two different Maja Design papers to make the handle.  I love that Maja Design papers have these strips, they're so useful!

On the back of the gift bag I have used another new Tilda, also painted with Distress Inks.  I have used To and From stamps from a Magnolia kit and cut them out with a tag Doohickey from Volume 3.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at Craft Heaven.  Thanks for looking! x

Let's Go Collection - Bathtub Tilda

Good afternoon!  Today I'd like to share with you a card using a stamp from the stunning new collection from Magnolia, Let's Go!  I have used papers from Maja Design on my card.

I have painted Bathtub Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added Stardust Stickles to the bubbles.

I made a cute little bottle of bath salts for Tilda by filling a tiny bottle with a mixture of pink and white glitter.  The roses are from Craft Heaven and the soap and perfume on the ticket behind are also stamps from the collection, they come with the Maid Tilda stamp.

I cut one of the Sofiero papers up to create two tags for my card and placed them either side of the image.

I have also added a butterfly cut from another paper.

The lace and flowers are all from Craft Heaven and I have used a Doohickey die from Volume 3 Doohickey kit to cut the perfume bottle.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Tilda in Paris

Good afternoon!  Today I'd like to share a card using Sightseeing Tilda from the Class Trip Collection.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique as always.  I also painted some paving stones around her with Distress Inks.

Today Tilda is sightseeing in Paris so I added the gorgeous Eiffel Tower die cut from Doohickey Volume 3.

I also used the Insta Love Cam Doohickey to make the camera and the Insta Stripes Doohickey for the film strips.

The newspaper piece behind the camera is a stamp from the Le Fleur upgrade stamp set and I made the flowers using a Doohickey from Volume 14.  The tags were made with the Denim Tag Doohickey.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
