FULL HOUSE, yippee.

So I have made a wallet box, cut on my Silhouette.  Tilda/band slides off the top and there are seven wallets to fill with goodies, maybe a hot drink sachet or even a face mask or too. Great for a sleep over gift either way.

A couple of views from the sides and with the band off.

On the inside front flap  I have stamped this lovely sentiment.

So this lovely Tilda is called Pillow Tilda, perfect image for a sleepover treat box.  Papers, Doohickey dies (cloud/stars/speech bubble/hearts/flowers/leaves & lace)  pink/white organza, coloured with Promarkers, 19 paper panels hand stitched, three clear dew drops & gems.  The 'sending love' sentiment is from Simply Cards & Papercraft issue 226, 'hello sunshine' from Spellbinders & inspirational quote inside was a Magnolia Club box.

Count your rainbows ...

 

Once again I am the Guest Designer over at Simply Magnolia and this months challenge is 'Birthdays' using the gorgeous Tilda or lets not forget Edwin.

I have been wanting to make a lollipop card for a while and thought it would be perfect for this new edition to my collection; Unicorn Pyjama Tilda.  So I have used a variety of Sizzix Surfacez cardstock, Rosette file, coloured with Promarkers, flowers, cheesecloth, clear dew drops, ribbon & bells from my stash.  The sentiment in the Sizzix shaker reads; count your rainbows not your thunderstorms with some beads. Star, sun, clouds & heart are all Doohickey dies from various club boxes. Finally gold foiled sentiment from Spellbinders.

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.

Movie Night ...

 

I am the Guest Designer for September and this months theme is super easy 'Anything Goes' using little cute Tilda & her friends.

So I have opted for 'Princess Party Tilda' for my movie night, popcorn carton creation.  The cutting file from the lovely Lori Whitlock is actually for a gift card but I have made it much larger as an interactive card. I have also used the file from Miss Kate Cuttables both available on the Silhouette Design Store.  

As this picture shows the popcorn card pulls out of the top.  I have used some Doohickeys; heart, ticket, balloons, stars and doily from various Club boxes.  Coloured with Promarkers, cheesecloth, flowers, gems and gold organza ribbon.  Various elements on 3d foam pads and inked popcorn for depth.

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

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.
