Pisces Tilda ...

Time for another challenge over at Magnolia Forever, super easy Anything Goes

So I am Guest Designer for March and I have chosen to use one of my all time favourite Tildas.

 I picked up a few bits before Christmas in the Sizzix  sale including this Winter Scene but as I had already completed my Christmas creations I opted to have a play with Pisces Tilda and make a shaker box/card.  (the verse can be written on the back).  First attempt, so it is ok but I would do things a little different next time around.  Papers, flowers, various Doohickey dies, cheesecloth, frilly organza ribbon, coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched, sentiment, acetate and a mix of sequins, sand, shells and dew drops to finish.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges -

Simply Magnolia - Anything Goes (I Won)!

Passion for Markers - Feminine (I Won Top 5)!

Please do come & play along with us HERE

That is all for today, happy crafting, Jane x

Summer ...

 Today I am sharing my 'Summer' theme inspiration as Guest Designer for

 A little something for me and my studio today.  The frame is a cutting file over on the Silhouette Design Store by Nilmara Quintela.  So I have covered it in Nitwit Collections papers, Gesso & TH Antique Linen distress ink for a shabby look.   The words on the back panel are CG and also added a back flap so I can add some larger memories; like a cork or two ha ha.

So Tilda of course, Tilda on the Beach, love this little lady, coloured with Promarkers.  Plenty of flowers, sand in a bottle, view finder, Doohickeys from numerous box kits, cheesecloth & clear dew drops. I have also used Tilda playing with water on the side of the memory box, I just couldn't resist using both!  Plenty of pictures from all angles.

Please do come & play along, looking forward to all your entries.

Stay safe, happy crafting, love Jane x

Summer Time ...

Summer Time, I know, wishful thinking right now, the weather? so I hope this makes you smile.

So this yummy Tilda is called 'Tilda with Big Ice Cream', coloured with Promarkers, sentiment on my Silhouette, Doohickey Antique Lace die, have to say when it comes to Tilda the lace die has to be one of my all time favourites.  

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Simply Magnolia - Anything Goes/option Flowers (I Won)!

Happy crafting, Jane x

HIP HIP hooray ...

Playing with another new stamp from the fabulous MFT titled Picture Perfect Party Animals, such fun.

I have made a DL card and I think would be called an overlapping gate fold style? I have made the parrots frame into a shaker for a little extra fun.

Absolutely loved colouring these using Promarkers.  Hand stitched, hooray, stars, glossy accent noses, balloons, ric rac, papers, acetate and some bling to finish.  

Thank you for popping by, stay safe love Jane x

TIME TO CELEBRATE ...

I am the GUEST DESIGNER over at

for this month and the challenge for all you Tilda & Edwin fans for August is 'Anything Goes' with the option of water.

I am sharing another teepee card, this one is using 6" squares.  I have made a special box so not worried about the amount of embellishments.  Nitwit digital papers, hand stitched, Tilda as a Clown from the Once Upon a Time Collection (sorry no link she is an oldie).  Flowers, cheesecloth, pom pom braid all from my stash.  Enamel dots, various die cuts including Doohickey, coloured with Promarkers, rosette made on the Silhouette.  Sentiment from Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil; More Sentiments.  And I just love to put a shiny red nose on her ha ha.

SOMEONE SPECIAL ...

I am a GUEST DESIGNER at

for the month of August.  The challenge this month is 'Anything Goes' with the option of holiday dies, can't wait to see what you come up with.

A teepee card, much simpler than I first thought, this one is using 5" squares but they can be any size you like.  Very pretty & elegant using the gorgeous 'Porch Tilda', Nitwit Collections digital papers, hand stitched, flowers, cheesecloth and varioius die cuts.  Coloured with Promarkers. Sentiment is from Spellbinders, hot foil plate onto acetate and cut with the inclusive banner die.  I have made some personalised ribbon for that extra touch.  Teepee cards do fold flat for posting but as this will be hand delivered I have made a coordinating box.

With Love ...

Sakura Tilda ...

I won the 'Pink' challenge in July over at Simply Magnolia and that gave me a wonderful Guest Design spot for September, yay!  

So the challenge for Simply Magnolia is 'Butterflies' nice and easy me thinks.  So here in the UK we have had many months now with very little rain, especially here in the South East so I thought I need to a fan to help cool me down whilst crafting.

So I have used Sakura Tilda (sorry she is an old girl so I cannot find a current link for her) and also

the Sakura Lantern dies from Magnolia/Doohickey.  Bamboo is from the Doohickey Box Vol 4 Le Jardin.  Papers are from Nitwits, hand stitched, tassles are again from a Doohickey Box this time Vol 5 Celebration, fan several layers cut on my Silhouette Cameo. Coloured with Promarkers, the butterflies are cut using the free dies from Die Cutting Essentials Issue 37 still available at Cutting Edge Crafts HERE
