Craft Heaven DT - Santa Tilda Shaker Card

 

 
I'm making good progress with my Christmas cards this year and have this shaker card to share with you today using the cute Santa Tilda from Magnolia.  I have used Maja Design papers from the Joyous Winterdays Collection.


As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have added Stardust Stickles to her gloves and hat tassle.


Inside the shaker I have used the Snowy Forest Doohickey and the winter scene from Doohickey Volume 7 layered in front of it.  I have used some fake snow from my stash inside the shaker.


The 'Let it Snow!' sentiment is from the I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas Holiday Pop Up stamp set.


I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Snow Angel Card


Good afternoon!  I'm excited to show you today's Christmas card that I have made to give to my daughter this year.  As soon as I saw the image of Tilda making a snow angel I wanted to see if I could make her actually make snow angel movements.  

The card base was cut with the Heartfelt Doohickey die and the papers are by Maja Design and the silver glitter card is from my stash - I recycled it from some Christmas crackers!


As always I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have added Stardust Stickles to the snowflake on her trousers.


I have used the background snowflake Doohickey die from the Aspen Holidays collection by Magnolia behind the image and coated it in Stickles too.   I have also used the snowy forest Doohickey but have cut the row of trees in half and layered them up.  The blossoms are from Craft Heaven and the 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas' sentiment comes with Tilda in the stamp set of the same name.


The smaller snowflakes were cut with the snowflake Doohickeys from the Cocoa Tilda Stamp n Cutz set and the hearts in the centres are off cuts from the large snowflake die.  The 'Daughter' was cut with a die from my stash.


Here's a little video clip showing Tilda making her snow angel!

Northern Lights Christmas Card

 


Good afternoon!  Today I have a clean and simple Christmas card to show you using the gorgeous stamps from the Northern Light Holiday Pop Up set by Magnolia.  I didn't intend to make a clean and simple card but once I'd finished painting the scene I added the Northern Lights to the background using the wet on wet technique and then thought it was too pretty to surround with lots of embellishments.  I have simply mounted the picture onto some Maja Design plain paper and cut the edge with a Magnolia edge Doohickey.


I decided instead to just add the sentiment, which comes with the set, and some 'snowflakes' in the form of the circles that were the waste product of the edge Doohickey die I used for the card base!  I also added Stardust Stickles to all of the stamped snowflakes.


I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - A Boo From Me to You


Good morning!  I have another Halloween card to show you today, this time featuring the Trick or Treat stamp set from Magnolia.  The papers are from Maja Design. 


I masked the moon and stars stamp with Tilda and painted them with Distress Inks using the no lines technique before adding Stardust Stickles to the moon and stars.


The pumpkin stamp is also in the set and I have painted that with Distress Inks too.  The sentiments are from this set and the You Are My Pumpkin set and have been embossed with white embossing powder from Nuvo.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.


The cobwebs were cut from coffee filter paper using a Doohickey die from Volume 6 and the leaves are from my stash.


The cute toadstools were cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 9.


I hope you like it and have fun with your Halloween activities tomorrow!

You Are My Pumpkin

 

Good evening!  I have a Halloween card to show you today using the cute You Are My Pumpkin stamp set from Magnolia.  The background paper is from the Celebrations Collection by Maja Design.


I have masked the truck and Tilda together and painted them with Distress Inks before adding Stardust Stickles to the mirror and tail light of the truck.


I have used the toadstool Doohickey dies from Doohickey Volume 9 and added Stickles to them too.


I have embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder onto paper from the Celebration Collection by Maja Design.  The cute pig is also from the stamp set and painted with Distress Inks.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.  I have used paper from Maja's Little Street Cafe Collection for the purple liquid.


The 'here's a boo from me to you' and 'trick or treat' sentiments are from the Trick or Treat stamp set by Magnolia.


I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Exploding Box Card

 

Good morning!  I have an exploding box card to show you today using the gorgeous Maja Design Summertime papers.  I have used a Magnolia butterfly Doohickey die for the butterflies on each side of the box.

I have decorated the top with leaves cut with the Rose Leaf Doohickey, seam binding and flowers from Craft Heaven and a cute moped charm.


Inside Tilda is zipping through the streets of London on her moped!  I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks.  I have used the Magnolia Phone Box Doohickey die to create the iconic red telephone box.


I have stamped the taxi stamp from the Let's Go Collection onto one of the Summertime papers and behind the taxi the buildings were created with the Edwin's Town Magnolia stamp.  The signpost is a Scrapiniec piece and the bicycle was cut out of one of the Summertime papers.


I have used a Magnolia pennant flags Doohickey die to cut out the tiny flags and the clouds were cut with one of the dies from the Bella Notte Doohickey dies.

Brother Birthday Card


Good afternoon!  Today I have one of those tricky to make male birthday cards to show you.  I love Maja Design's Denim & Friends Collection for male cards.


I used one of the photo cut outs and mounted it onto the reverse side of the paper and used leaves from Lawerowe's Peony Leaves set.  Chipboard pieces are great for adding a bit of interest to male cards without using flowers.  Behind the image I have also added a strip of cream cardstock cut with the Grated Edge Doohickey die.

 I also love the decorative strips that Maja Design include on all of their papers.  I've used one here to add further interest and another chipboard piece.  The 'Brother' sentiment was cut with a die from my stash.


I made a little envelope to contain a money gift and used the Rich Rach Doohickey die to create a tear strip for it - love doing this!  I inked the edges of everything with Walnut Stain Distress ink.
