A Special Christmas Card

 

Good morning!  Today I'd lilke to share my favourite, and last, Christmas card of this year with you that I made for my parents inspired by a layout..  I have used the Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die for the base.  Sadly, the clock as it cuts out was not big enough for my requirements so I had a little brainwave - I cut a ring using large circle dies and then cut the numbers from the Tim Holtz die cut and added them to it.  Et voila!  A bigger weathered clock!  I have added Laserowe chipboard pieces behind the image on both sides.

I have added lots of gorgeous Christmas details around the Stempelglede photo stamp image.  The paper flowers were cut from Maja Design paper and I added a cherry blossom and snowflake charm from Craft Heaven.  The pine cones were made with a Tim Holtz die and the berries are polystyrene balls inked with Festive Berries Distress Ink.  I also added a Believe die cut and an embossed sentiment using the stamp from the Magnolia Northern Lights stamp set.

On the other side I have added some bells from Craft Heaven and a poinsettia made with white Foamiran and the Magnolia Poinsettia die.  The 25 was cut from several layers of kraft cardstock using Thinlits dies and layered up to resemble chipboard.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Confirmation card

 

Hi!

Today I have new proyect to share with you. This time I made a pocket card for a Confirmation.

For change ... I's for boy.

I used few different Maja design paper pads from two different collections.

One is from the newest  Miles apart collection.,  paper pads used are Dream away and Hopeful.

The second  paper pad called Paisley is from Denim & Friend collection.

The stamped image is from Baptism / Cristening Pop Up Box 2020 collection.

I coloured it with Distress inks and sealted using Tim Holtz distress Micro Glaze.

Dies used are: 

Cross with Dove

and from an old Doohickey kit collection.

Behind the image I added some Cheesecloth  and over a card I addeds here and there some Gesso.... just for finish a vintage look.

That is all from me today.

See you next time!

Happy crafting!

You Made It!

Good morning!  Today I have a card to share that I have made in advance for when my son receives his exam results.  It is always such a tense time waiting but particularly this year as the exams were cancelled and we are left waiting on the best teacher assessments possible.   Fingers crossed!  I have used paper from Maja Design's Denim & Friends.  This one was perfect with the maths workings on it!

The gorgeous image is Special 17 Student Edwin With Serpentines by Magnolia.  The placard is actually plain and I have hand written "Class of 2020" on it with a Distress Ink Marker.  I was so excited to receive the new Distress Ink colour, Speckled Egg, this week and have used it on Edwin's bowtie and the ribbon to his right.

The sentiment is another one from the You Made It kit, stamped onto a Tilda's Ticket die cut which I have torn in half and used either side of the image - like he's torn open his exam results envelope lol.  I have also added a pen nib from Tim Holtz - I love these - this one says Memoirs on it.

On the other half of the ticket I have used the postmark from the With Love From Paris stamp kit.  The gorgeous wooden "Follow your dreams" text is from Laswerowe.

I have used a heart doily behind the image and the "Son" lettering was cut with a set from my stash.

The star strips and You Made It! strips are cut from the bottom of Maja Design papers and the tags were cut with the Tilda Tag Doohickey from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Teenage Boy's Birthday Card

Hi!  Today I'd like to share with you the birthday card I made for my son this year using the gorgeous Maja Design Denim and Friends paper collection.  These papers are great for a boy's/man's card!

I cut around the star and shoes from one of the papers and then backed the star with black card.

The 'Son' was cut with a die from my stash.  The 'It's your birthday' sentiment is from the Stempelglede Have A Beautiful Day stamp set, embossed with white Nuvo embossing powder.

I stamped a Tim Holtz ticket stamp in the corners of the star paper.

I also added some Tim Holtz film strip ribbon and washi tape.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Sticky Notes with Distress Oxide Inks

Hello everyone,

 

good to be back 😊

Today I want to show some little sticky notepads I designed with almost all of the pretty Oxide Inks from Tim Holtz.

These ink pads are so great. You can create so different projects with them. I love to create backgrounds with them. And all you need is the ink pad(s), some (watercolour)paper, spray bottle and a heat tool (or toaster). Easy, right?

 

 

These little sticky notes I have made for our big craft fair last weekend in Hagen (Germany) called "Stempel Mekka". This are swaps.

I created all pieces in different colours with different images. The images are from C.C. Designs and Purple Onion Designs. They are coloured with Distress Inks (refills).

The word under the critters means "NOTES".

 Hope you like them.

 

 

This are long sides of my note pades.

 

Hugs

Happy Father's Day

 Good evening!  Today I have my latest card for Craft Heaven to share with you.  It was Father's Day here in the UK last weekend and this is the card I made for my dad.  I have used Maja Design's Denim Collection papers and stamps from Stempelglede, both available from Craft Heaven.

 I have used the Happy Father's Day text from Stempelglede's Have a Beautiful Day collection as the main focus of the card.

 The stamps were stamped with another Stempelglede stamp from the Postcard from Paris collection.

 The text is also from the Postcard from Paris collection.  The button was cut with a Tim Holtz die and I added some twine from my stash.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to have a go at those very tricky male cards.  I always struggle to decide what to put on them.  Thanks for looking! x

N - Like Note Book

Good Morning,

 

today I have a new project to share with you. I made another note book. On this note book I used an image from Saturated Canary and coloured the girl with Distress Ink (refills). Because I used the soft coloured papers from Majas Sofiero collection, I coloured the girl very soft, too.

 

 

I covered the front and back of my little note book with the pattern "Exuberance of flowers in Bloom" and  "Princess Margareta's Garden". They are matching perfect. Underneath the image I put die cut made with Rounded Frame from Magnolia and Majas "Royal Summer Residence" pattern. The corrugated cardboard is painted with white Gesso as usual.

 

 

A highlight on the cover is the straw in composition with some flowers and a Pen nib from Tim Holtz. The straw is covered with a piece of "Exuberance of flowers in Bloom" paper because it looks so nice when everything fits to each other.

I binded a little charm with a bit of lace at the wirebound.  You can find so cute other key charms in Tina's shop like the Romantic Key and the Key with Heart. They are too lovely.

 

Hope to see you very soon.

Have a nice and calm weekend.

Sometimes You Just Have To Go with the Waves..

Happy Sunday everyone!

Here we are with the last Summertime creation for this week..
Let's see what our DT Liz made this time..

Once again we have a gorgeous Maja Design and Magnolia combo on here..
The papers are from the latest released collection called Summertime and the stamp is Tilda Playing in the Water from the SeaSide collection 2016..

Here are a few pics of the stamping process..

Liz used the Jet Black Archival Ink for most of the motifs and since she wanted to add some waves behind the image she did a bit of masking..

All the stamps that surround Tilda are from Magnolia as well..

While adding the bubbles something happened..
Liz got the edge of the stamp showing on the bubbles..
But no worries..
She solved the problem like a pro..

By adding some cheesecloth over and by adding Distress Inks and then hints of white Gesso she covered it all.. Awesome!

That cheesecloth really reminds me of a fish net.. Love it!

She used some WOC flowers also and the tag hidden in there is the Tilda Tag Doohickey..

Liz tied a bit of Vintage Seam Binding on it and added a charm too..

One of Tim Holtz's Hinge Clips is up there also..

There's a beautiful 4'' doily on the other side as well as some other stunning details..

The white Decorative Foam Bouquet, the Scrapiniec camera chipboard and the awesome Film Strip Ribbon..

She did some sewing around the edges..

And the waves are covered with Stardust Stickles..

This is all for today people..
We wish you all a wonderful day!!!

Hugs, Tina and the Craft Heaven Shop DT
