Totally Tilda #2

Good morning folks, hope you are all well. Gosh where have the last 4 weeks gone? From today Totally Tilda are going fortnightly, wow we were overwhelmed with the amount of beautiful entries for Challenge #1 and hope you will all come back and play again with our new challenge.

We are very fortunate to have Bert Pickles AKA Fairy Prairie join our DT, welcome onboard sweetie - and also a warm welcome to Katie who is our Guest Designer this challenge.

We are also very lucky to be sponsored by the lovely Nikki from Bunny-Zoe Crafts and the Prize for one lucky person is;

Our challenge for this fortnight is to

Make a SHAPED CARD

But NO Squares OR Rectangles and NO Easel cards.

Susie gave the DT some of her new die cut cards on stands to play with and they are now available in her shop at Die cut Dreams and what a dream they are to work with.

I challenged myself to make use of my neglected punches and really enjoyed myself. They are just normal punches, not circular, and the best way I can describe their use is to cut a 5 or 7cm circle in centre - depends on pattern spread of the punch, it really is a case of trying for yourself. I then punch at 12, 6, 3 and 9 0´ clock then twice inbetween each of these.

I have coloured Tilda with copics and prismas and cut her out, ooh that stem did test my patience rofl. Roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I don´t think you can go overboard with them - they are so addictive, memo to self ... place another order. Sentiment is from Stampin Up, cut with my nesties and layered onto another punched shape and that´s about it lol.

Die Cut Dreams - Tilda in Blue

Good morning folks, welcome to a new challenge at Die Cut Dreams.
This weeks challenge theme is

Tilda in Blue

Your card has to be mainly Blue, you can use skin and hair colours and a dash of black and white with a minimal dash of another colour. This week we are also joined by our very special guest designer Trisha and if you need a little inspiration just take a look at the stunning creations our fab Design Team have created, links are in my sidebar.

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to our new teamies, Liz Marsden, Dawn, Deb‘s R, Tracy, Pamela & Crafty Chris who will be joining us from next week.

My circular card is from the Shaped Cards on Stands from Die Cut Dreams and at only £2.99 for 18pieces, making 6 cards, this is a real bargain. I covered the plain circle with paper from my stash and added a doily.
I have coloured Tilda with copics and prismas with a touch of glamour dust, roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, sentiment is Stampin Up and cut with my nesties.

Life´s a Beach with Earth, Wind or Fire

Good morning peeps, hope you all had a lovely weekend. Looks like everyone is having a heatwave although it is a tad too hot for me.

Die Cut Dreams theme for this week is

Life´s a Beach

So let´s see your seaside themed cards and projects.

I knew straight away which stamp I was going to use and can you believe this is the first time I have inked her up. I have coloured Tilda with copics and raised her with 3d pads. I love this set of sentiments from SU and was so lucky to receive these as a birthday present from a dear friend and fellow DT, thanks again sweetie. I have cut them out with my nesties and mounted onto yet more. Papers are from the Vintage Collection available at Bearly Mine Designs and the flowers are of coarse from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Good morning and what a glorious morning it is here on the Costa del Sol, wall to wall sunshine and a kiss goodbye to the rain. I still can´t believe we were in UK this time last week, it sure was a flying visit due to the volcanic dust and cancelled flights but 3 days were better than none and it was wonderful to see our youngest grandson christened and be with our family.

Anyhoo onto today´s cards.
This week at Sweet Pea Stampers we have

A Beautiful Sketch

for you to follow designed by our very own Anne and once again we are sponsored by the very generous Lynette from Sweet Pea Stamps .
I adore Ching-Chou Kuik´s artwork and these stamps are just so addictive.

Magnolia vs Stampavie Week 17

I couldn´t resist the wonderful sketch designed by Carla over at Magnolia Vs Stampavie. This is the first time I have entered this challenge but it definitely won´t be the last.



Poor Tilda is so tired after her strenuous ballet lesson that she just had to go outside and sit on this log for a breather.
Recipe:- Swiss dots folder, Sugared paper, Cuddly Buddly sentiment, flower ribbon from stash and Tilda coloured with Prisma´s,decoupaged and sat on a Sizzlits Pilings then of coarse my nesties had to be used too. Thanks so much for looking.
