Happy 30th

This is the other of the two cards I made for my sister’s birthday this year. I decided it was time to try a full panel shaker card. I’ve seen a few others make these recently so I played around a little bit to see if I could work it out. I think it turned out alright and it’s such a fun card to give away!

The background is made with distress oxide inks and then I used a background stamp from MFT Stamps on the top part of the background in a slightly darker turquoise colour. I used various sequins and blings for the shaker area and then I added a sentiment and a coloured Tiddly Inks image on top.

A Tiddly wedding card

If there’s one thing I’ve not made many of this year it’s wedding cards! So when someone asked if I could make one I simply had to find time to squeeze it in. I got a few guidelines, but mostly I could do what I felt like so this is what I came up with using one of my favourite wedding stamps. It’s by Tiddly Inks. I’ve used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Maja Design paper, my favourite lace and ribbon along with some white acrylic paint.

Colouring video – Molly Celebrates

It is time for another colouring video. I have coloured up a stamp by Tiddly Inks called Molly Celebrates. This one was meant to have audio, but when the PC broke after I’d lost my voice for over a week, I kind of just gave up, so I decided that in order for this to be up anytime soon, I’ll do it without the audio.

This video shows how to do red wavey hair that has a lot of little details, as well as how you can easily draw a pattern onto a dress or other things. As this is a digital stamp you can easily colour it up in the size you prefer.

Tiddly Molly celebrates

It is the first Tuesday of the month and that means we have a new challenge at Tiddly Inks. This time we’re playing tic tac toe. I’ve done both diagonal lines and the top row, so dies – stamp – ribbon, dies – patterened paper – lace and lace – stamp – embossing. My card is made using the Tiddly Inks stamp Molly Celebrates. I’ve used paper from Maja Design, dies from MFT Stamps and LLLC as well as my favourite lace and some ribbon I had laying around.

Tiddly Honeymooners

First Tuesday of the month means time for a new Tiddly Inks challenge! It’s been a while since I’ve made inspirational cards for the challenges now, but this one should mean that I’m back properly. Yey! The theme this month is anything goes, so I’ve made a wedding card using The Honeymooners.
