Finally if you are still with me I made this card and used the diamond die inlaid down the side with holographic paper. I also used this lovely new Gummiapan die which inlays beautifully. I filled the holes in the letters with glossy accents.

Morning everyone, it's Lou with a post for you today.

I made a tent fold card base and glued papers from my stash on both the inside and outside of my card base. Then using a little circle die from my stash, I cut a little window to "reveal" the papers inside. I fussy cut my Tilda out and then placed her on my card so she made a feature of the die cut circle.

I LOVE this fold. It would be so easy to just tuck a little cellophane bag filled with treats in there to make it into a gift card, but today, I just felt like a card to make someone smile.

I used Galaxy Tilda xoxo - but only the top part of her and she's into sewing now! I coloured her with colour tint pencils and then used a little water to create a faded effect. For the bobbin, needle and the scissors I used the Gummiapan die sewing set. Isn't it just so cute? You can see the scissors on this photo below. 

I cut the scissors twice, once from mirri card to make the metal cutting edges. The bobbin I cut from Maja Design - Denim & Friends - Leather. You can also see a little peek of a butterfly from the beautiful 12x12 Maja Vintage Spring basics - 6th May and again on the photo below.

Can you see all the lovely stitching on each of the layers?  I used the beautiful Gummiapan stitches nesting dies. These dies are an inlay die, they do not cut the shape. I used them with a square die cut all from the co-ordinating Maja monochromes 12x12 paper and the Maja 6x6 Celebration paper pad which you can see one of the art deco details from below.

So many lovely details on these papers and fab patterns too.

I couldn't resist sneaking these Gummiapan Houses dies into the bottom corner all cut from more of the Maja papers. I also used the flat sequins over the card. These ones are sold out but you could use the silver ones. The lace, ribbons and pearl flowers are from my own stash. Finishing touch some liquid pearls and white highlighter pen.

Here's a final look at the whole card again. The sentiment die is Gummiapan Text- Happy Birthday High Print.

Good morning everyone, Becky here with you this morning. I hope that you are all looking forward to your week ahead. I am off work this week, and I am hoping to get the decorating in my living room finished soon.

For today's card I have used Insta-Tilda and coloured her with my pencils. There are links to everything at the end of the post.

I like this time of year with all of the flowers starting to poke their heads through, I think Snowdrops are my favourite spring flower, but Daffodils have to be a close second. I know that they're not normally pink, but that is the beauty of making your own flowers, they can match what you have made.


I have used Grandpa's Flower Leaf to go with the Daff's, they match beautifully.


I have cut out chicken wire with a Gummiapan Hen's Nest die using some of the Monochrome collection paper from Maja Design. This paper has also been used to cut out the daffs and the hydrangea too.


Once again I have used a stitched oval nesting die to cut my image out, these really do give a lovely look to the card.

In this photo you can see where I used the lovely Gummiapan Little Flower Die. I cut two of them and layered them up with a brad, before adhering them in place. You'll see these flowers throughout the album, along with more of the butterflies, and other pretty elements from the collection.
