Tilda Mermaid Easel Card


Gorgeous day today up here in Scotland. I managed to squeeze in some crafting time when kiddies were out playing in the sun shine. 

I have made an easel card with this gorgeous Tilda Magnolia Mermaid stamp. The back ground shell stamp is also from Magnolia. I coloured these in with Pro Markers.


The DP are from Paper Mania. They already come shaped and some are pre glittered, which I absolutely love!


The spotty ribbon is also from Paper Mania. The stick on pearls and small hat pins are from my local craft shop. The green hat pins I purchased on Ebay.

The leaf die cut shapes I also purchased on Ebay pre cut. Great idea if you are not sure about buying a die. Try before you buy. 


The sentiment is from Stampin Up.



Really enjoyed making this card. Thanks for popping by. Hope you all have a good weekend.

Monochromatic

Lovely day today up here in Scotland. I have been very good strimming my grass in my garden and tidying up, so I thought I would give myself a little bit of crafting time as a treat. :)


Here I have made a monochromatic card using a gorgeous Saturated Canary image. She was a freebie on the Saturated Canary blog.I coloured her in with Pro Markers.


I used a sheet of DP from Paper Mania. Layered this on lots of white and black card stock. The stick on pearls are from my local craftshop, and the rosette is made with a Tim Holtz die.


The sentiment I stamped with my mini alphabet stamp set from Hampton Arts. My hubby is away for three weeks working on his oil rig and I miss him so much, I decided to do a soppy card. :)

Thanks for coming by. Hope you all have a fab saturday!

I used First Edition DP, Christmas Joy. The stick on pearls and charm are from my local craft shop. The hat pins and mini peg I purchased on Ebay. The twine I recycled from a package from my granny. :)


The image I used is an old Christmas Tilda from Magnolia. (Totally forgot she was in my stash!)I coloured her in with Pro Markers and added a bit of glitz with some glitter from Craft Planet. I used my Cuttle bug machine to cut out the scalloped circle. 

I also used a scalloped border punch, and also an oval and a scalloped oval punch for the sentiment. Stamped the sentiment with my mini alphabet stamps from Hampton Art.

Hello there.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays. :)

I coloured her in with Pro Markers, as usual. My favourite for colouring in.


The DP are from DCWV. (street lace) Love these sooo much!! Used a little Magnolia picket fence die cut and a SU border stamp for the cut edge. The sentiment is also from Stampin Up.

The little heart shaped stick on gems I purchased on Ebay.

Squiggle Stamps - Home Decor

Afternoon.

We have some sunshine up here in Scotland today, just a wee bit, and it's windy. But it's better than rain! Some forest walking with the kids is in order after lunch.

Another fun challenge over at Squiggle Stamps, another fortnight has passed by so quickly. This time the theme is 'Home Decor', one of my favourites!! The DT has made some lovely alterations, so why not pop over for a nosy and join us. :)

I have made two projects. I have gone all heart-tastic on this challenge. Here is the first one.


A while ago, my lovely super crafty talented friend Tracy gave me this weathered wooden heart to decorate as a gift. I think she found it in TK Maxx of all places. She is the best crafty bits and bobs hunter I know. :) 


The image I used is called Miss Evie, Frills and Flowers. I used a SU scalloped circle punch and punched the top of the  image out and coloured her in with Pro Markers. 


Teared two strips of DP to decorate, they are from Prima. The 'Love' sentiment is cut out of the paper. 

Love making stuff for the house. Not so sure Hubby is that impressed with millions of shabby chic things hanging from doorhandles, cupboards and ceilings. :)


For my second project I used a mini wooden heart (bought this on Ebay in bulk for a VERY reasonable  price) and decorated it.

The papers are from The Paper Company Studio. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. Used some stick on pearl flourishes from Creative Impressions. The white organza ribbon is from Anita's.


The image I used is called Hippie Goth Girl. She is currently our Stamp Of The Week on Facebook.. I cut the top of the image our, coloured her in with Pro Markers.


Squiggle now has a brand new Facebook page and so have I. ( Evelina Wikberg Designs ) We would for you to come along and have a look and like us. And don't forget Squiggle has a DT call at the moment and a super silly sale, so grab a bargain or two!

Thanks for popping past. 

Have a great sunday.

Summer ATC

Afternoon.

Up early this morning doing washing and the normal mummy stuff. Got a bit distracted and spent an hour making an ATC. :)

Just love colouring in and when I have images sitting, just can't help myself.


The image I have used is called Hippie Goth Girl. She is one of my own designs for Squiggle Stamps and currently is currently our Stamp Of The Week over at the Squiggle FB page. I coloured her in with Pro Markers. Squiggle has currently a DT call and a silly sale on, so grab a bargain or two!!


The DP is from DCWV. Used a SU border stamp to make the scalloped edge. The sentiment is also from SU. The red stick on gems are from my local craft shop. Used some grass die cuts as well. Purchased them on Ebay.

 It's actually great some people sell die cut shapes because if you are not sure you want to spend the full amount for a die you can try them out by buying die cut shapes. Or if you just have the one project you need die cuts for, it's a great solution I think. (or if you have spent too many pennies on fancy papers. Lol!)

I now have my very own FB page, I would love to get as many likes as possible, so please come over for a nosy. :)

Well, thank you very much for coming by. Better get back to my housework. :S

Matching Card 1

Morning.

Still dull up here in Scotland. Good thing is, lots of crafty time. I have made two matching cards here with the same materials.

Used these Crafts and me digital images by Hannah Lynn, which I absolutely adore and can not get enough of. So easy and fun to colour in.


DP are from My Mind's Eye. They are halloween papers but very versatile, and so yummy, had to use these. Think they have a little bit of Wonderland style to them. 


The ribbons were freebies from a craft magazine. The charm and hat pins were purchased from my local craft shop. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. The stick on black gems are from Ebay. Layered this card with lots of black card stock from The Papermill near Aberdeen.


This image from Crafts and Me, is called Dahlia. I coloured her in with Pro Markers and added a bit of glitter with my Sakura pen. 

Thanks for coming over for a nosy.
