More Winter Wishes

One more card to share with you today. This cutie is Tilda with skates. I just loved all the new stamps form the Sweet Christmas Wishes collection. I ordered several of them and only managed to color up this one.


These cute ice skates are a die from Quickutz. The large snowflake is from Sizzix.

I am entering this in the Winter Wonderland challenge over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers.

Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Winter Wishes

Winter wishes to you all! Hopefully the holidays brought you all some wonderful memories with family and friends.
It's been so long since my last post. Unfortunately we have had a rash of bad luck in our home and time has seem to gotten away from me. Before I knew it the holiday was upon me and I somehow managed to get a few cards done.

I made a shaker card with this cutie Tilda with Fir stamp from Magnolia, along with the tree stamp in the background.

The snowflakes are Quickutz die with pearl brads. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show all the glitter.

The challenge over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers challenge is Winter Wonderland.

My Favorite Things

Hello. I'm back today with another card to share. The challenge over at Magnolia Down Under is to use your favorite things. Tilda Blowing Bubbles was my first Magnolia Stamp purchase. It was seeing this stamp used on a card that started my love of Magnolia stamps. She is definately my favorite and I'm not sure why I never inked her up until now. I used my circle nestabilities to cut her, along with the scallop circles.

I used some Webster's Pages from their digital line. Their entire line has fast become of favorite of mine. You will be seeing it a lot. I used some of their bloomers ribbon in celery. Another favorite I love seeing on cards is raffia lace. I just wish they would sell it over here in the U.S. The postage sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps. I finally used my Tattered Florals die from Tim Holtz. The challenge over at Simon Says Stamp is Sparkle and Shine, so I added some glimmer mist to the flower and the image. The paper I stamped on is Cryogen Irridescent paper which also has some sparkle to it (I tried to get it to show in the pictures...but no luck).

Here's a close up of Tilda blowing her bubbles.

Tilda and Edwin In Love

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is enjoying better weather than the chilly rain we're having here in Philadelphia. I've been dying to use these beautiful stamps with Tilda and Edwin and the Rose Trellis. The challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites is to use both Tilda and Edwin on your card. I've colored them with Copics and added some glossy accent to the flowers on Edwin and Tilda. I also added some perfect pearls to Tilda's hair and her earrings. I managed to get my hands on a couple rolls of that raffia lace. It's so difficult to find over here in the states.



The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Their challenge this week is Wings, so I've added some butterflies using my Martha Stewart punch.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday.

Japanese Tilda

It's almost Friday. I can't wait for the weekend. I have a quick post tonight. The Totally Tilda Challenge right now is "Tilda All Over the World". I had colored Japanese Tilda and the Magnolia Tree but just couldn't find the right paper to go with it. Well, I somehow stumbled upon the Webster's Page website and I saw they had a digital section. You can buy their paper collections as digital downloads. The hardest part was choosing what collections I wanted to try first. This is from the Postcards from Paris collection. The great thing about the digital papers is you can resize them to fit your cards so the entire page fits. I chose to keep it simple because I didn't want to cover up that gorgeous design on the paper.

I must have been living under a rock because I've just discovered their papers and already placed an order over at Two Peas in a Pod (their having a sale on some of their Webster's stuff). I've also been dying to try some of their bloomers ribbon. I have to say they are super speedy over at Two Peas, cuz my box of goodies arrived today and I can't wait to play.

Thanks for stopping by.

Easter Bunny Tilda

Hello. A quick post tonight. I managed to get an Easter card finished. I used the adorable Bunny Tilda for this stair step card, along with the a couple of other Magnolia Stamps. Now if I can just find time to get all the other Easter cards done that I need. Where does the time go???

Magnolia Down Under is having an Easter theme challenge this week, along with 7 Kids College Fund and Magnolia Stamp Lovers. Magnolia-Licious has a theme of pink and green.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tulips for Tilda

Happy Monday! I finally got around to coloring one of my stamps from the Spring Kit. Isn't Tilda just adorable? The challenge over at 7kidcollegefund is "Seeing Spots", so I chose this polka dot paper from the Bloom and Grow collection from MME. Added some Distress Crackle paint to the edges, ribbon and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Tilda on the Loose

Happy Monday! Two quick posts for today. I managed to get a couple cards done on Sunday. I've been so eager to use these two stamps together and I thought they would be perfect for this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp, which is Coffee and Cream.

There's no sentiment yet. I'll add it later when I have someone to give the card to. I used Copics to color the image (E40 - E49) and then added Antique Linen and Tea Dye DI's around the image. The flower was made from ribbon and glued to a circle with a button embelishment. I went to AC Moore and was so excited to see they had the Tim Holtz film strip and thought it would be perfect for this card. The ticket is also from TH. The papers are from MME's Paris collection.

Dangling Edwing Birthday Wishes

Hello again. Here's my second post for today. It was my son's birthday on Sunday (I can't believe my baby is 20 years old!!!) He humors me when I make him cutesy type cards. I think the Bon Voyage collection from Magnolia is one of my favorites so far, although it's really hard to have a favorite when they're all so darn cute.

When I say the "I can believe I can Fly" sentiment stamp, I just had to have it. My son's favorite movie as child was Space Jam and that was the main song from the movie. He used to sing it to me all the time.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Tilda in the Garden

Happy Wednesday! Two quick posts today. This is the first card I have to share with you. My daughter needed a birthday card for her boyfriends mother, so I had this one colored already and put together this card for her. I even dusted off the sewing maching and stitched around the edges. I distressed the edges with my TH paper tool and added some tears here and there. The circle sentiment is from Lily of the Valley. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I used the Romantic Hearts Doo Hickey for the edge of the card and around the circle sentiment inside the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I have two projects to share today. The first is a tag for a gift my daughter is giving for Valentine's Day. It's using one of the adorable Teddy Bea stamps (if you haven't checked they out yet, you have to stop over and see them!!). You can find them here at TeddyBo.com

Here is a tag style card I made to give to my son.

This cute stamp is Shy Edwin from Magnolia, as well as the Love stamp. I found those cute heart clothespins at Michaels.

Amore

Happy Wednesday! I've got another Valentine's Day card to share. I used LadyBug Hearts Tilda and the Be Mine stamps from Magnolia. Isn't she just adorable?


The Amore bingo card was a freebie from Sugar Creek Hollow Digi Stamps and the ticket and sentiment are from Inkadinkdo. I just bought some of the Cryogen Irridescent white paper and just love the sparkle it adds. I used copics to color the image and added some silver stickles to her hat and around the hearts.

Tilda blowing hearts for Valentine's Day

Hello. Well...as I mentioned in my last post, I'm addicted to all things Magnolia now. It's been like Christmas at my house all over again. Except all the gifts have been for me...hee hee! After being laid off for over two years and then having to work two jobs, I've been blessed with getting my old job back...YEAH!!!! And my DH said to celebrate it, I could spend my first paycheck on myself. So....I treated myself to a whole bunch of Magnolia stamps and some Doo Hickeys too.

Since I now have weekends off again, I spent it making my Valentine's Day cards. I also tried some new things. This card being one of them. It's a tealight card but I'm going to put some candy in it instead.

The challenge at Magnolialicious Highlites is Hearts, Pink, White and Silver. The image is Tilda Blowing Hearts. I colored her with Copics and added some stickles on her wings and the leaves and swirls. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I'm also entering this in the Magnolia Down Under challenge, whose theme is Love and the Magnolia Stamp Lovers theme of Glitter.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!

My Very First Magnolia Card

I couldn't resist any longer. I've been dying to get the Vintage Tag DooHickey die from Magnolia for quite some time now. I finally gave in and order it along with those darling angel wings too. I thought I'd try a few stamps too. Well...now I'm addicted. I've already placed several orders (and a small fortune too...LOL) for a whole lot more.

This stamp is from the new "You're So Special" line and is called King Tilda. I thought it would be perfect my cousin's little princess who was celebrating her third birthday this past Sunday. I colored her with Copics and added some stickles. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and the lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I also made a gift box to put the card in using kraft paper that I stamped some dots and swirls on.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
