Perpetual Calendars ...

This year I have made some perpetual calendars as presents as the recipients like to keep their special makes out all year long and Christmas doesn't always look good in June, ha ha.

  

So the first one has Tilda with flower in her pocket/For you Tilda on the reverse as another option.

The second one has Up up and away Tilda/For you Tilda again.

Reverse side option shown below.

I have cut all of the elements on my Silhouette using a file from the Design Store by the lovely Lori Whitlock to which I have added sides/back and a acetate window pocket.  I hope to stamp/colour a couple more next year so they have a choice of images to look at. I have coloured with Promarkers, plenty of ready made flowers from my stash, several Doohickey dies from the club kits.  I have again cut from the Design Store a mini bird box.  The papers are from Nitwit Collections titled  Cottage Charm. Gesso distress, A3 kraft card for the main structure.  Cheesecloth, pearls, ribbon and clip.

Under the weather ...

I am back, long time no see, soz.

Just busy busy, living life and I lost my mojo ha ha!

Mojo well and truly found after receiving the 13 Nights of Halloween from Magnolia,

couldn't wait to play and here is the result.

Today I am sharing a 'box in a card' using the gorgeous new goodies from Magnolia.

So Tilda is under the weather, so I have put together a box of goodies to cheer her up!

Inside the top is a pocket for some sachets of honey & lemon or maybe some hot chocolate.

Then the box beneath has room for some more treats, but also contains a little shaker element, get well sentiment, a plaster, blister strip and the little hearts (tablets) as the confetti.

I have used Tilda stamp, both sentiment stamps, heart beat die, plaster die, blister strip die & cross die from the Doohickey 13 nights of Halloween  which will be coming out for general release very soon.

The heart flourish (Doohickey Box 3/Oh La La), tree & fronds (Doohickey Box 16/Fall in Love), sun (Doohickey Box 10/Buzz Buzz), clouds (Doohickey Box 13/Sweet Pea) dies.

Coloured with Promarkers, pink organza ribbon, umbrella charm & completely hand stitched.

I have mat & layered the elements on my Silhouette Cameo.

Finished off with some bandage in a bow.

Winter Wishes ...

Been a while since my last post, I did say as one of my new year resolutions I would make

one Christmas card a week so there wouldn't be a mad rush, needless to say that didn't happen.  I decided to make one a day in the month of October, well I have made some but I am still behind.  One down many many more to come.  I did purchase several of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia but the others weren't Christmas so I inked this one up first!

I have made a bauble shaped card today using one of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia, this one is called Cocoa Tilda & Snow Flurries, so that is the stamp and snowflake dies as a duo.

I have also used the Magnolia log stamp from way back when.  Flowers, buttons, ribbons, pine cone charms, star die, tree die, berries.  The branches, twigs & holly are from various Doohickey Club kits. Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.  The bauble card blank itself was cut on my Silhouette.

The pretty papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS
