Shoot For The Moon at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

It's another snowy day here in Canada, so I'm staying inside and warm with my crafts! Today I'm sharing one of the newest images at Tiddly Inks - 'Talking To The Moon'. 

Wryn is just hanging out with her teddy bear on a sleepy crescent moon and I imagine her telling him a bedtime story.

I was going to use some designer paper and embellishments on this card, but when I put the coloured image onto the base I knew it had to be totally CAS instead. 

I finished off with a very simple sentiment underneath the image. 'Shoot For The Moon' is a great sentiment to start off a new year with as it reminds you to renew your goals for the year.

I hope you will come over to our Facebook Group to share all your wonderful Tiddly Makes!

Dare To Dream at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Well the weather outside is frightful, so I'm inside with a hot drink and crafting time! Christy gave the team some brand new images to play with so I am showcasing "Dare To Dream" today. Check out the other new images while your'e over at the Etsy store.

I added a dreamy galaxy sky background to create a CAS card, as I wanted to let the image be the star without lots of embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by today.

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

I don't know about you but I'm so not ready for winter yet. I can really feel it coming though with the freezing winds we are having right now. Brrr.

A Hoppy Birthday at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Did you know that you can still grab some amazing freebies over at the Tiddly Inks Blog?

Christy has given me permission to give 'Froggie Thoughts' to my readers as this was a freebie in the old store, but isn't on the blog. Please be sure to credit Tiddly Inks when you share anything made  using this image,

I don't often do slimline cards although I love this style, so I thought Froggie would be perfect for a tall interactive card.

Froggie definitely looks quite thoughtful while hopping on the grass!

Please let me know with a comment if you grab this fun freebie and be sure to share your makes over at the Tiddly Inks Facebook Group.

Just Married at Tiddly Inks

Hello Tiddly Peeps, 

Welcome to June.! Wedding season is upon us, so I thought I'd make a card to show off one of the older Tiddly images.  'Honeymooners' is great to use on its own or to create a scene with other images or your own background.

I have chosen to make a CAS card with a simple background using my markers.

Have you made any wedding cards recently? There's a few other images that are great for the season. Please join us over in our Facebook Group to show off your latest makes.

Be Brave With Your Life at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Have you seen Christy's revamped Gothic Pinups and other images? I had to grab Tank Girl and now I really want to watch the movie again!

Christy's version is somewhat cuter and less crazy than the comic book version, so I am picturing her as an explorer. I've had this paper for a while now but it just hadn't gone with anything yet.

Pirate Jane's Treasure at Tiddly Inks

Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Spring has finally hit Saskatchewan and I am typing this with the windows wide open and the sun shining in!

For today's inspiration I have used 'Pirate Jane'. She is a fantastic image to spark the imagination and even comes with a couple of maps.

When I think of pirate maps, I always think of them being rather old and worn. To achieve the effect I wanted, I printed mine onto Kraft card then cut around the outline. Next I rubbed some Distress Inks in, sprayed with water and scrunched it up. Once it was dry I took a lighter and set light to all the edges, plus a couple of areas in the middle. That part is always fun!

For my canvas, I started by adding Distress Oxides to the areas that the map wouldn't cover. Then I added some wavy lines of texture paste and used some Frantage to act as seafoam. To finish off, I covered everything with a layer of texture paste, using a brush in wavy motions to complete my sea.

At the bottom right corner of the canvas, I added another layer of texture paste in a 'pile' shape and sprinkled thick gold embossing powder over to give the effect of a pile of gold. Once I added Jane, I also used some gems to complete the treasure.

For Jane herself, I coloured her in what I consider to be traditional pirate colours.

I used some glue and 3D foam pads to add my map and character, then a piece of twine across the back for hanging and my canvas was complete!

Have you ever made a canvas? I would love to see over in our Facebook Group.

Bright Friendship Thank You at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

I have been going through my stash to see what I haven't used yet and decided to print a small version of an image from the 'Friendship Days' colouring book. The great thing about digital colouring books is that you can print the pages at whatever size you need.

I was in my local dollar store the other day and noticed they have more craft stuff in now, so I grabbed this fun pack of papers.  They match perfectly with the image which I had already coloured, so it was obviously meant to be!

Have you used any images from the colouring books? I'd love to see them in our Facebook Group

Well just as I thought spring was coming, we have a world covered with white again. Perfect weather for crafting though so I've had a play with a couple of the cute new bugs.

You can find 'Bee Mine' and 'Love Bug' in the Etsy Store now.

I'm loving the slimline cards I'm seeing around lately and realised I hardly ever make these any more.  They're great when you just want to make something quick and easy though.

Have you grabbed these images yet? I'd love to see your makes in the Tiddly Inks Group on Facebook.

Bright Poppy Thanks at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Have you seen the new HuggaBugs images yet? They're simply adorable. You can grab them in a set over at the Etsy store, including some fabulous extras.

I have combined Poppy Moth with one of the backgrounds to make a bright card to bring us all some sunshine!

I kept to just a few colours to help the image pop.

I love these sentiment dies that have a background part. I didn't want to have the sentiment stark black or red, so this was a great way to keep within the theme.

Are you in our Facebook Group yet? We have lots of people sharing their makes and you can too!

Masked Munchkins at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Have you seen the new images that Christy has been adding to the store? Well, they're re-drawn old images, but they're new to me!

I couldn't resist colouring all of the Masked Munchkins as they're so adorable. You can grab the whole set over on Etsy.

Making four cards at once I decided to create a set, all of the same style but with different papers. I think these are perfect for kids' birthday cards.

Cup of Love at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Happy Galentine's Day! I hope you are keeping warm wherever you are. I've seen below average temperatures in many places lately.

Today I am sharing a quick card I made using another of the surprise freebies that comes with 'Molly's Donut' (well I guess it's not a surprise anymore, lol). I figured this 'Cup of Love' would be perfect with a Missing You sentiment, as many of us cannot be with our friends right now. At least we can still share the love virtually.

I chose some bright colours for this fun image

I had fun with my Distress Inks for the die-cut background!

Have you discovered any freebies with your downloads? I'd love to see what you have created with them in our Facebook Group.
