Donut Worry at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Are you keeping warm? We've had extreme cold warnings here, so I've been cuddling up on the sofa with a blanket and hot tea. Do you know what goes really well with hot tea? Donuts! Which brings me to my inspiration for today. 

If you have purchased from Tiddly Inks before, you may realise that Christy loves to add some surprise freebies with your downloads. "Molly's Donut" comes with some wonderful extras, including this lovely big donut and sentiment.

I wanted to make it extra delicious, so I used 3D gloss and real sprinkles.

You can't have too many donuts, so they're in the sentiment too!

What surprises have you found in your downloads? I would love to see your creations over in our Facebook Group,

Fishmas In January at Tiddly Inks

 Well a Happy New Year Tiddly Peeps!

I hope you've all had a great break during the festive season and are getting used to being back to reality. I clearly haven't let go of the spirit as I bring you a Christmas card today. I couldn't resist using the cute new fish and it never hurts to start that Christmas crafting early!

You can grab the set 'Merry Fishmas Wishes' here and for a limited time this is 30% off. You get a fin-tastic selection in this set, with 9 images in total. Christy and her daughter both did designs for this one.

I wanted the fish bowl to be a focal point, so I created a shaped card to make it look like it's sitting on a table.

I really love non-traditional images as they are fun and will definitely stand out on a shelf full of the same old thing. Isn't the fish super cute in his little hat?

I lined the edge of the bowl with 3D gloss to give it a bit of a thicker look. I was considering doing this over the whole bowl to make it look more like glass, but it's not easy to get it smooth and I didn't want to warp the card too much.

I used Kraft card, an embossing folder and some Distress Ink for a wood grain look to my 'table'.

Did you grab these fun new images? Please do show them off in our Facebook Group
