Tilda & Co Challenge

The theme this week at T&Co is ‘Christmas is coming’.
Here’s my card:


I used a Tilda stamp, coloured with watercolour pencils and gel pen, matted onto green card, two different DCWV Christmas papers, See Ds alphabet stamps with glitter.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

A lovely sketch this week over at SS. This is my interpretation:


It’s also a Get Well card for my best friend who is currently in hospital with a badly broken leg.
I used a stamped image kindly sent to me by Christine at Trimcraft, coloured with watercolour pencils, matted on to purple card, green swirl embossed card – sent to me by Tazzy at Trimcraft, purple vellum, Papermania ribbon and K&Co sparkly sweet paper.

Struggling to finish

I started playing around with this card:


When I got my new Dovecraft Wonderboard - which is fab by the way! But I'm struggling to finish it, I don't know whether to just leave it as it is, sometimes simple is better right?? Can anyone help me out??

Cute Card Thursday

This week's challenge was 'The two of us'
This is mine:


It was a bit of a 'last minute make' and I'm not 100% happy with it. Still, I do love the stamped images - kindly sent to me by the lovely Christine over at Trimcraft. Might have to get me some of those stamps.....

To make this card I used: Max and Milly stamped images from Spiral Whispers, background paper from a Dovecraft pack, glitter card from the DCWV glitter pad, handmade paper from my stash and a sentiment from my stash.

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers 23

I recently joined the sisterhood, find them here: http://sisterhoodofthebloggingstampers.blogspot.com/

I wanted to make some new 'crafty' friends and I think it will be a fab way to do this!

Well this is my 'getting to know me' post.
My name is Toni. I'm 22. I've been making cards for about 4 months now. I started because I wanted to practice for making my wedding invitations (which is September next year by the way!!) and now I'm hooked. I love stamps - especially the Magnolia Tilda and Edwin range and also just starting to get a few Penny Blacks and Sugar Nellie's too. Hoping to branch out into scrapbooking soon.

I work as a Trainee Legal Executive for a local family law firm. I also study law in my spare time.

I have a three year old son, who is my pride and joy. I also have a wonderful fiance who I love dearly.

Thats just about it I think! Looking forward to getting to know the rest of my group!

Son's Birthday

My son was three at the weekend, I wanted to make him a waterfall card but had no idea how to! Two days after I made the card below, lo and behold my Quick Cards subscription turned up with a tutorial on waterfall cards.... So should be making one of those soon.
Here's what I made instead:


He loved it - hes a big racing car fan.
The number and car are from Dovecraft 12 x 12 paper pads - I forget the name. The background is from a DCWV glitter pad, the name is K&Co black glitter alphabet stickers and the sentiment is from my stash.

Another Tilda

I originally made this card for last week's Tilda sketch challenge but didn't get around to uploading it in time!! So here it is:


I used Party Tilda, coloured with watercolour pencils, 2 different sorts of K&Co paper from the Sparkly Sweet pad, an Anitas sticky ribbon and a heart brad and sentiment from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Stamp Something Challenge

Over at the Stamp Something Challenge, this week was to use pink green and blue.

Here's my entry:


I used one of my Tilda stamps, coloured with watercolour pencils and gel pen. Cuttlebug swirls embossed green card and K&Co paper from the sparkly sweet pad. Finally a sentiment, a butterfly and some gems from my stash.
