Happy Birthday Tilda!

Its Wednesday so it is TOMIC time again!! And this week it is Tilda's birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Tilda! To celebrate we have a fantastic sketch to follow and
have been given these guidelines...

"Tilda Stamp + girly Birthday theme following Tina's Sketch
The "Birthday" text is mandatory and can be hand or computer written, stamped, chipboards, dies etc... and in each of your own language. We want to see girly themed cards so use pinks, lace, tulle, glitters and whatever is girly"

I decided to ink up Happy Tilda for her birthday celebration.


The papers are new MME Miss Caroline - I just looove them!! 
The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts. As is the bakers twine, metal corner and rhinestones


I used Tilda's lace doo hickey die on the bottom edge of the card for a pretty lacey effect and a cute butterfly charm on the twine


I hope you get a chance to play along with us at TOMIC this week!

Tilda Princess of the Valley

Have you seen the new "Princes and Princesses" collection from Magnolia? 
They are on pre-order and will be at your favourite store any day now.
I was really happy to see so many adorable animals in the collection this time. 


My boys let me play at my craft desk for a little while this afternoon - unheard of! They have been suspiciously good today... makes me wonder what I am in for tomorrow actually... ;) 

These two adorable stamps are "Tilda Princess of the Valley" and "Tilda's Castle" and made an easel card. 


I used the Magnolia Doo Hickey Die "Doily" for the rear of my easel card... it is a bit hard to see though behind the beautiful papers and Miss Tilda herself.  The papers are new MME "Miss Caroline" - so pretty! 


Well, that is it from me today. I'll be back with a bit of luck on Wednesday with another card to share.
Until then, have a great week!
Hugs Kylie

Stamping Tilda

Hi everyone! 
Gosh... I didn't think I was going to be able to show you anything today... I seem to be lacking any ounce of creativity at the moment, I'm zapped!! But I was sitting at my desk late last night chatting to my friend Karen and spied Stamping Tilda sitting on my desk and HAD to ink her up.


I ordered this little sweetie pie from Shop Bron and was so excited to see her arrive in the mail this week. 


The challenge at MDUC this week is a colour combo.... we would like to see PINK, ORANGE and WHITE on your creations.... I know it sounds  like an unusual combo but it look fantastic in zesty zingy summer colours or muted pastels as well.


So of course because I was trying to get my little door sign done in record time I couldn't find one very important embellishment that I had in mind :( Grrrr.... I get so frustrated with myself when I put something away for special projects and then can't find them when I need them!!


Ingredients:
Stamps - Magnolia "Stamping Tilda" "Made with Love Sentiment"
Flowers - all from Wild Orchid Crafts
Paper - Basic Grey "Sweet Threads"
Alphas - American Crafts Thickers and Prima
Lace and berries - Magnolia
Ribbon - my own
Cardstock - White bazill 
Other - MS PATP set "Cherish", Cuttlebug Embossing folder "Paisley"

I hope you get a chance to come and play at MDUC this week. The girls have created some amazing inspiration pieces for you. 

I'll be back a bit later in the week with something else to share. 
Hugs Kylie
