Tiddly Inks You and Me Wedding Card


Good afternoon. My best friend asked me to do a special wedding card for her brother who was married in January.  She wanted a card that was not too girly, no flowers, and girl in colour.  Her words were make it simple, but elegant.  The brides favourite colour is green and my friend wanted that incorporated.  She did not not a big wedding dress image or anything over the top.  My creativity and brain was pushed to the limits!

Corner die is by Cheery Lynn called Deco Lace Corner. Swirl is magnolia die. Top Tip: make your own butterflies by cutting four corner dies ( I used Spellbinders Lace Hearts set (awesome set- comes with the hearts, a key and a corner die) and gluing them together at the corner part.  The little wings are also from a spellbinders set called Mixd Media Elements (get them here from Simon Says Stamp).  The lace, ribbon, diamonte slider and rhinestones all from my stash.  The adhesive heart bling I got from Arnolds.. my LSS. the paper is glitter paper from Best creation.  I have distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz Distresser.

Saturated Canary's Kisses Valentine card


Hi there! thanks for stopping by.  I am going a bit shabby chic today. I have pulled out my frantage and just went berserk! I have done another no lines technique here, but I'm not as happy with the result as my first attempt... ahh practice makes perfect!  This image is from Saturated Canary and is called Kisses.  The heart, key and corner cut is from the Spellbinders Lace Hearts set.  The little tag is from a spellbinders Decorative elements- Labels 28 set.  The DP is from Pion called Pink Baby Blanket.  Flowers are of course WOC.  The ribbon is from my stash.  I thought the hair here would be the hardest to colour, so I left it to last, but I just did random swirls and this is the result- I am quiet happy with the result :-)

Saturated Canary Queen of Hearts using No Lines Technique


Good morning! I am so excited to share this card with you today... it is a first for me and I had so much fun doing it! I was blog surfing and two blogs in particular inspired this card. I always love Alyces' work over at Kit and Clowder her colouring is superb and often uses this no lines technique.  Well after playing on the computer for over an hour, I managed to lighten the outline of four images and this one was one of them! She is, of course, a Saturated Canary image called Queen Of Hearts. At the moment, Krista is deleting some of her digis and has discounted a heap by 50% ....  go to her blog here for the link to all the images discounted plus the code you will need. So the second blog that inspired this card was Created by Silvie Z.  I am NOT even going to attempt to be as good as these two ladies- their work is amazing, but I am happy to be inspired by them and try new things!  This here is a shaped card, which I have done previously BUT I have always been limited with overhanging embellishments as I put my cards in boxes... so... I made a smaller shaped card and then was ab;e to take embellishments beyond the card.  Even my husband went wow when he saw it!


So, onto the card.   The card itself is cut with Spellbinders Grand labels Four (the smallest one in the set fits through my bigshot).  The DP is by Little Yellow Bicycle called Just Because.  The heart die cut is also a Spellbinders called Lace Hearts. The swirl die cut is by Magnolia. The image is coloured with copics using the no lines technique.  This is my first attempt, and although it is not perfect, I am stoked with the end result! I will definitely be using this technique more often! I have stamped little hearts and dots using a small Stampin Up stamp- from a set of four, but I dont know the name of the set.  The sentiment stamp is from a clear set by Heidi Grace called Quotes. I have used a variety of flowers Wild Orchid Crafts and from my LSS.  The little pearl and rhinestone button on the swirl is from ebay. The bunch of organza is actually a flower scrunched up cut out using Tim Holtz's Tattered Florals die.

I would like to enter in to the following challenges:
Wild Orchid Challenge: Use a button
Delightful Challenges: Use Patterned paper
Creative Challenges 2: New (I used a new technique)


Copic colours used:
Skin: E 000, 00, 11, 21, R 20 lips- RV 95 R 20
Eyes: G 09, 99 YG 03
Gloves: B 000, W 1

Forever Friends Bear with large Present


Good morning. thanks for stopping by.  Today I have another swing card, this time using a Forever friends stamp of bear with large gift.  It came in a set of wood mounted stamps a couple of years ago and is super cute!  I did not write down the colours I used. The DP is from a Kaisercraft pad called True Romance.  The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, the ribbon is from my LSS Arnolds.  I made the acetate butterfly... an update for these.... I have always used dimension magic to mix the glitter in and seal the staz on ink.  My LSS did not have any in stock, so I got some glossy accents thinking it would do the same trick.... It doesn't!!!! it is much thicker and cracks when you cut out the butterfly and fold up the wings. So I am sticking with the dimension magic!  The hearts are cut from a memory box die called precious hearts.  If you look closely among the flowers, I have glued in some diamontes.. the sparkle is gorgeous.  I buy cheap sew-on rhinestone buttons on ebay (the claw set ones) and remove the claw, leaving the bevel rhinestone to glue on.  Adds such a nice touch and if you buy in bulk, they really are a cheap way to add bling!

Penny Black Wishes for Kisses Christmas swing card


Good morning! a swing card today, using Penny Black's "wishes for kisses".  DP is by K&Co called Holly Vine Printed embossed. Flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts.  I have scattered some rhinestones around the flowers, added a handmade hat pin.  The ribbon is from my LSS Arnolds, and the adhesive rhinestone is by Queen & Co.  The swing part is cut using spellbinders labels four and the image is cut using spellbinders Gold Labels Four.

A christmas verse swing card


Hi there (again!)  I have gone with something a little bit different here by just using a sentiment and no image. The beautiful verse is by Verses Rubber stamps called "Magic of holidays" and I have silver embossed it.  I have used no DP here, instead using a cuttlebug embossing folder on white card - swiss dots. I have matted it with  purple glitter cardstock.  Now, one problem I encountered here is that the cuttlebug folders do not emboss a 15cm square card... so what I had to do for the inside was to emboss two pieces of card and hide the join under the ribbon! No one ever knows (unless you're a crafter lol)  I bought a new spellbinders die called elegant labels which I just had to use here... it does overhang the card a little, but still manages to fit in my boxes I make.  I glued the die cut to the glitter paper and handcut around the base... I guess you could use JAC paper in the same way and sprinkle the cut out parts with glitter too!  The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts sprinkled with loads of glitter and I made the angel charm myself.  The little crystal and ribbon is from my LSS Arnolds Scrapbooking at Rothwell.

Here's my tip.... glitter paper is expensive and doesn't tend to glue anything to the top very well.  what I do is cut the matting (glitter) piece, then cut the centre out (so it looks like a frame)  the back of the glitter card glues perfectly to your base card, then you can stick you white  piece directly onto the actual card as well (I usually cut the frame about 1.5cm wide around... my top card goes over the top of the glitter paper to give a clean edge, but you can still stick the top piece directly onto the base card through the window section).  this way you can use the inside of the glitter window for things like snowflakes or butterflies etc. You could even "pop" up the top card onto some foam dots for dimension!


Wild Orchid Crafts is asking to see blue or purple, so would like to enter a second card into their challenge

Saturated Canary Canary Love Using Reds!!


Hi- thanks for stopping by again! As promised, another card for tonight.  This time it is the lovely "Canary Love" by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary.  I used red for this one to match beautiful paper from a pad I bought some time ago.  I had to buy red copics, as it is a colour I am not confident in  using... but I am happy with the result (I only coloured a small area using red to get used to it). The paper came from a Bo Bunny pad called "Serenity".  I just loved those colours in the paper I HAD to replicate them :-) I also got a new die (well it was quiet some months ago, but this is the first blog appearance lol!  It is a spellbinders die called "Gold Labels Four" and the detail is intricately beautiful.  My only criticism is that the labels four nestie (which I have also used) does not sit perfectly on the gold label die cut :-(  I have also used the spellbinders large swirl die.  Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts (open roses (10mm and 15mm if I remember), sweetheart blossoms and hip rosebuds).  I have added some little red stamens I've had for years and a little bird cage charm from ebay.


Copic colours I used were:

Good afternoon! thanks for stopping by.  I have made a card for our challenge over at The Southern Girls Challenge.  This fortnight, we are asking you to button up.... use buttons on your projects somewhere.  I have used an image by the amazing Elisabeth Bell called Planting Some Love.  I bought a new die whilst on holidays in Canberra - the hearts banner by La La Lands.  I have used two buttons at the ends and I popped a little rhinestone  in the centre of each.  I also popped two little buttons at the edges of my ribbon used from my stash.  The flowers are WOC and the butterfly is one of my glittery acetate butterflies made by me :-) The DP is from a prima pad called Fairy Belle.  I dotted some liquid pearls around and splashed some stickles and dimensional magic around here and there.

so pop on over to the Southern Girls Challenge and show us all those beautiful buttons out there! Cant wait to see what you all create :-)

Elisabeth Bell Happy Mail


Last card for the night, as I am off to bed :-)  From the divine Elisabeth Bell "Happy mail".  I LOVE this image. Unfortunately, this is a Belles and Whistles stamp which has now closed store, so I am not sure if this stamp is still available under another company.  The DP is from Prima's Sunkiss collection.  I have edged the chequered paper with a Martha Stewart edging punch.  I have used spellbinders lacey circles and large circle for the image.  Flowers are WOC.  I have used some Divine twine and lace from my stash.  I found a silver key charm and bicone crystals, which I have dangled from some chain.  I also glued some crystals to some tiger wire and scattered them among the flowers.  I added some flower soft to the flowers as well as dimensional magic and stickles.

Elisabeth Bell for Belles and Whistles Sisters


Good evening, Thanks for stopping by.  I got another parcel from teh Belles and Whistles closing down sale, so sorry, but you're going to get bombarded with these gorgeous images!  This one is called Sisters.  I think I need to add some bling to the top right corner, I need to sleep on the idea LOL!! Lots of pink going on here for the Copic Oz challenge... enter now because they will donate $5 for every card entry to the McGrath foundation how generous is that!!!!! I also decided for a change to do an easel card, thinking a twist easel card would be something a little different.... that's what I love about Challenge blogs... its not the prizes so much, but they make me do something I wouldn't ordinarily do or use colours I wouldn't ordinarily use.... only to find out that I LOVE the end result and find myself using those techniques more often than not :-)


Onto the card.... Papers are from Prima pad called Rondelle (my fav!!) I have cut the image using circle spellbinder and matted that with the scalloped circle nestie.  I have used flowers from WOC.  ribbon and lace from stash.  Stitching is by hand using DMC cross stitching thread.  I have made my own hat pin (metal for CRAFT challenge) and made those cute little rhinestone/pearl sprays..... I simply cut bits of fishing line glued rhinestones/pearls on to the line (with super tacky glue) and clipped the two ends together with a silver crimp (left over from my jewellery making days..... you could also use tiger wire to the same effect).  Here is a close up picture of the sprays:
