Flower Tilda

Some more stampin up papers – I just loved this paper – it’s perfect for this card with the large flower, which I coloured from my stamping up inks. Tilda is coloured in with both copic markers and stampin up inks on watercolour paper.

Tilda with Curls

Here’s Tilda with Curls, I love her curls – most liekly since I have dead straight hair and always wanted some curls in mine!

Again using up some of my Stampin Up collection of papers and embellishments! I’ve coloured her in with both Copic markers and Stampin Up inks on watercolour paper.

Dreamy Tilda for you

Merry Christmas Everyone! Here’s a little treat from my old stash.

It’s Dreamy Tilda again with some of my retired Stampin Up papers. I do love to collect paper, I think it’s definitely time to start using up my papers and embellishments!

Brayered Welcome Christmas

Putting up the Christmas tree is such a joyous time! Fantastic Silhouette stamp from the same Welcome Christmas stamp set as the previous post. Just so sweet. I brayered my embossing folder before embossing.

Welcome Christmas Joy

What do you think of this stamp set? At first, I thought that I wouldn’t be able to use it, now it’s just the type of stamp set that is perfect for mty Christmas cards. Have a look at this one. A little bit of masking of the JOY letters before stamping on the wreath.

2010 SU Team Christmas

We had our team Christmas party this week and this was one of the presents that I made, along with a box of Fererro Rocher chocolates,  4 special tealights (made from one of the projects from my 12 Weeks of Christmas emails) and a gift bag – also from one of the projects from my 12 weeks of Christmas.

I was so happy when I found these battery operated tealights – just so cute and they flicker like real candles.

My present was gorgeous! One was survival kit with the most touching poem with the meaning of all the little pieces. All of this was inside a can – unopened for me, Inow I want one of those can openers that can “reseal” the can! The second part of the present included a gorgous paper purse made out of our greenhouse gala DSP and it was filled with some choccies – yummo! Jan MacAulty made my gift, such a talented lady!

Aviary Thank You

The summer mini is here and I love this mini catalogue. There’s so much gorgeous stuff in it. Don’t forget to download it if you haven’t already done so! Check the side of this blog.

On this card, I’ve used 3 things from the Summer Mini – didn’t I tell you that I love this Summer Mini? So I’m showcasing one of my favourite stamp sets – Aviary – it’s just so cute with all the bird cages and little birds! The Clear Scallop Square Big Shot Die is fantastic. It’s clear so I can see where I’m cutting – isn’t that great? Of course the Square Lattice Embossing folder is just so delightful! Just perfect for my card.

I’d love you to tell me what you think of my card in the comments section!

Sitting Tilda

Isn’t she cute? I was never a real big fan of cutting out, colouring in, or even Magnolia stamps – gues what? I’m not reformed. This was one of my tests using copic pens and Stampin Up inks on Watercolour paper. It’s great! I’m so delighted with the outcome. I love my Stampin Up papers – they just bring out this Valentine Tilda just perfectly. It definitely helps when the Stampin Up! inks match the paper. This is why I love Stampin Up! The co-ordination just makes it sooooo easy.

I’m going to give this to my parents for Christmas I think – not really Christmassy is it? But that’s OK. I hope they like it!

Dreamy Tilda and SU

Recently I went to the Craft and Quilt Fair here in Brisbane and I knew it was going to be a little dangerous… anyway, many purchases later and then finally at home so I could play – I came up with this card for a friend that invited me to her Stampin’ Up! party!  It’s so strange being on the otherside of the table (considering I’m a Stampin’ Up! demo, but it was just so lovely to be there. I love the new Satin Ribbon from Stampin’ Up! Just so gorgeous. Not to mention the bling on the butterflies.
