Tilda inspired designs

As some know, I have developed a love for Tilda doll and character. So I thought I would share a couple of things I created. Feel free to use them for personal use. Enjoy!

If you look carefully at the flowers and snowflakes

                                                                                         
                                                                          you will see the Tilda connection!


I usually reserve this blog for digital and paper designs but if you wish to see my other Tilda related work please visit my other blog!

A Bloomin' Wall

 

I used some flower die cuts I got a couple of months ago, one was a Tim Holtz design and the other a Cuttlebug die. While I have a cutting system I like, the dies come in handy for using up paper that might otherwise get tossed.

I experimented with teal and burgundy colors and a variety of patterns. I used a small embellishment in the center of most of them and used adhesive putty to adhere it to the wall. Layering allows a number of combinations within the color scheme and adds variety. With the vast choices in papers the options are many.  Depending on the size of the flower, I use a pencil or crochet hook handle to give a little curl and dimension to the petals. And these flower can be used on a variety of projects - boxes, frames, gift tags. bottles and more!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scal Card Shapes

The top images are a couple of cards made using the coffeecup template along with my decocup file and the other...I set the words I drink COFFEE to cut out of the front of template, then put my rose paper behind the lettering and cut slightly smaller template for the inside and hand-printed the words, 'for your protection'. Found that saying and it tickled my funny bone!

SCAL Card files...check my sidebar link "More SCAL files" for the .svg files...would be cute gift tags and you could personalize by cutting a name or message in one side.

Wire Name Gift Tags

I designed these using the tag from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge from Cricut and bending flexible wire into names to personalize. Laney jolee was done with a single strand of wire, the others were a double strand which adds more stability to this lightweight wire. I also like adding a little flower motif and a bead at the center of the flower.

To attach the name to the tag I make two holes close to each other at strategic areas (like where letters loop) to secure it through the top tag only (a push pin on an old mouse pad works well) and then I tape the wire down on the back to flatten it and then glue the top tag to the back tag.
