My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Strawberry Yummy Tilda

Good morning my lovelies!

Wow what wonderful weather we are having at the moment, just loving it!  Unfortunately, it is playing havoc with my desire to craft LOL…….hence no post yesterday LOL, sorry about that :o(……..but the call of the garden came and well one just had to go LOL……

Thank you  for your kind words about Amelia Bear and I am so so sorry she sold so quickly, I know that a few of you wanted her……I am working hard to try a bring you more, plus trying to do my commissions too LOL…….so its kinda busy, busy, busy at the moment LOL…….

Anyway, last night I did manage to finish off a card to share, using one of those new Magnolia Sweet Rainbow Collection stamps – Strawberry Yummy Tilda……ooooh what a cutie!  That strawberry looks so tasty too LOL…..

My card is a bit smaller than normal, about 5” and the reason being I got a new punch and wanted to try it out, but dozy here cut the card to 6x6, but when I putted the border it made the card quite a bit smaller LOL…..oh well, its a happy accident cos I think its kinda cute that bit smaller :o)

The new punch is by Fiskars and one of the new 2-in- border and corner punches.  Its called Lace and Lattice….now I had to get it off Ebay as I really struggled to find one from elsewhere, and I am not sure why cos I fell in love with it when I first saw it :o)

Anyway, the yummy papers are by Raspberry Road, and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft.  The charm is off Ebay.  The button and ribbon is from stash.

I have coloured sweet little Tilda in with Prisma Pencils and added some stickles here and there!

The sentiment is by Papermania.

I have left it rather plain inside as if you but too many embellies in you just can’t shut it :o(

The little Magnolia Doohickey Tag, I have made removable.
