A Little (Big) Cake with Anna ~ Tiddly Inks

I do love Tiddly Inks Images

Christy is an amazing artist  and the DT makes are fabulous

When I saw there challenge this month I decided to play along

It's a Tiddly Tac Toe haha love it

The idea is to get 3 in a row 

So I got creating and I ended up with a Bingo and used them all

Firstly off I used Anna Belle Birthday Wishes

The Sentiment is from Celebrate Joyfully Emma

I coloured up using Distress Ink refils and Derwent Inktense

Now onto the Tiddly Tac Toe board (I couldn't resist saying it again)

Dies ,I have used two dies the lovely ribbon threader and also a shaped die for the sentimemt

The Ribbon used is Jam pot Ribbon - Blackcurrant from Crafty Ribbons

Patterned paper was used on the background ~ I used a Distress tool on this and slightly ruffed up the edges

I used a flowery Embossing folder and added some Lace to the edge

I finally added some flowers and some fun buttons

Thank you for looking

Have a lovely day

Vintage Flowers ~ Pinflair

Last week was just like Christmas , Two huge massive boxes arrived from the lovely Jo from Pinflair filled to the brim with lots of loveliness to play with

I absolutly adore 3d and there was masses !! I could not wait to get started. I will be sharing all my makes with you

So 4 days ago my friend got engaged I am so excited for her , her ring is huge and very sparkly so I set to make them a card, She restores furniture etc and is very much into vintage, so the kit I used was pretty perfect

I used a page from Vintage Flowers

I adore these books so many wonderful pre-cut elements to make your cards unique and special

You also get a little picture to show what your card could look me but I turned that into a tag for the inside.

I added in a few sparkly pearls and some yummy Viscose Lace  a snip of  Satin Ribbon on my tag. Lace and Ribbon both from Crafty Ribbons

The little pocket inside was made from a sheet that was in a Paper Pad from Pinflair Woodland Winter, although it has a slight dusting of snow its such a perfect match and Im sure I will get away with it

Thank you so much for looking , Having a great day

Okat my final one for today I made up the 

Cartonnage Carry Tray

So, so many uses for this one

I did love assembling this I went for my colourwave of the year which seems to be purple 

I covered all the pieces with amazing cardstock , I adore this soooooo much

I assembled following the instructions

and of course using the faithfull 

Pinflair Glue - It Bookbinding Glue 

I also used a stencil with Pinflair Buff-It Silver

and a stencil with Pinflair Gellitex Oh my goodness I love this stuff!!

I then added some flowers and greenery, added some lace and beads

soooooooooooo girly

Happy Tuesday Everyone

What an exciting day ....Not only is it my Birthday.....but.......

I have been busy making some samples for todays show's on

Create & Craft for the lovely Jo from Pinflair

the shows are at 2.00 and 9.00

There will be a few posts from me today to show you what I made

and will start by showing you the wheelbarrow

I totally had a blast making all my projects I totally am in love with the Cartonnage kits

I wish in hindsight I had taken step by step photo's of this as at every turn and drop of paint I squealed a bit more , I really did not want to part with this so I am going to make one for me too

When I first saw this my vision was to build it with flowers across the top , it soon became clear this was not going to work to well.

I started off painting the body 

Using Pinflair Buff-It  Liquid Orange

Once dry I added some stencilling.

 I then  used Pinflair Glue - It Bookbinding Glue (I used this for all my cartonnage makes) to put the body together

To get the rust effect (this is on the inside of the wheelbarrow too as some bits show)

I used Pinflair Rust - It Orange

Using a sponge to apply first and then dabbing it on , I loved this I wanted to give everything a rust effect, Using Pinflair Buff-It Slate to give it some colour

Using Pinflair Buff - It Liquid Black the wheels were painted

Once I had stopped faffing and it was all dry it was assembly time I was dreading this bit as it looked as if it may be tricky but it was soooo, so easy the instructions are so clear

I was so chuffed at this point I loved the orange so after much head scratching I came up with using sunflowers, I loved the idea but then I hit a major problem half way through making my sunflowers I ran out of Orange card stock, thank goodness for Amazon Prime!!

Sunflowers made , Bee's attached I made a little tag and a mini trowel to finish.

I do hope you will watch the shows there are really some stunning makes to be seen and of course some scrummy goodies

Thank you for stopping by today

Fiskars Meets The Craft Cotton Post

Happy Friday to you all

I am so excited to be sharing these projects with you I had great fun making them

Fiskars and The Craft Cotton Post are having a collobaration

 For my first project I decorated a canvas board using the Eastern Botanicals collection fat quarters for the dress. I do love a pretty dress! I used the mini heart shaped punch for a fancy border. The small flowers were made from my little circle punch these are so much fun to make . I used some lovely papers on the background and then punched some hearts and a butterfly to match. I finished of with a little stencil work on the background and adding a few more tiny hearts

I totally loved making this adding lots of stencil work , an MDF swirl

For my second project this was based around my Granddaughter .

 If we are not found crafting together we can be found baking ~ Of course mainly fairy cakes! So we decided to make a matching little apron and hair bow. This time I used the heart punch as a template and using some fusible interfacing cut out my hearts 😊.... Felicity has decided it may be nice to have matching bows for all her outfits

(spot the whisk )

Thank you so much for stopping by today

As You Like It ~ Fav non card project

I liked both of these projects for different reasons. It was nice to make a change from playing with paper - Also being a very basic sewer it brought me out of my comfort zone , but who doesnt love a challenge . The apron and bow really suited my Granddaughter and she is over the moon which makes me very happy :-)

The canvas I just love the elements and the colours

Polkadoodles ~ Brand New Heavenly Stamps

Wow what can I say

Our lovely Nikky has done it again! 10 brand new clear Polymer Heavenly Stamps

When these little beauties popped threw my letter box 

I was speechless

(those that know me no that in itself is a very rare occasion )

The only question being 

Which one to stamp and play with first

After a game of ip dip you are not it (seriously)

I went for 

Deer-est Friends

Ohhhhh what a beauty

I coloured her up using Distress Ink

I am adoring these to colour with and this is a first for me colouring skin and hair so it was big knickers on and go for it, by no means perfect but hopefully in time there will be improvements.

I love using Kraft for Christmas cards it always seems to be my go to card

So my base was a 6.25 x 6.25

I then used a paper from 

Polkadoodles Holly Jolly Paper Sensation (on sale)

A perfect pack of double sided papers

I distressed the edges slightly

The dies used are

Fanciful Circles(on sale)

Perfect Parcels(on sale)

Bubbleicious Frames

The Sentiment is from the stamp set

Snow Place like home (on sale)

Fine glitter was used on her wings and the pressie

I added some lace , bakers twine and a snip of Pom Pom trim to finish
