Traveling Tilda

Hi, Friends…

Well I have another card for you this evening. I’ve been entering a lot of challenges lately but that’s because I’m so inspired by all of my blog friends that I can’t stop. :) I would love to retire and just make cards and paper projects all day. Of course, that’s not gonna happen anytime soon…lol

I used the lovely Traveling Tilda stamp with the Spring Fence  by Magnolia for a Mother’s Day themed card.

I used my Inkadinkado Stamp-a-ma-jig to mask the fence and Tilda together. I love this tool with stamps that are not clear. It makes masking a breeze.

These are the Copics I used to color the image.

I’m submitting this card for the following challenges:

Nixie the Snowflake Fairy

Hello Friends…

I have another card to share with you today. This one I entered in the CMC Challenge group. The challenge is called "Snow" so I immediately thought of these adorable little Sweet November stamps. Meet Nixie, my snowflake fairy. She looks so delicate don't you think?

She is available at All that Scraps and is a digi stamp. There are three stamps of her and I love them all.

I used my BoBunny’s Midnight Frost for my pattern papers. I love the blues in this paper pack and have used it on several projects this year. They are perfect for a winter theme.

I decorated the inside and put a gift card in the pocket. This one is going to my mother in Illinois.

Here is a close up of the sparkly glitter. Stardust Stickles has become one of my favorites. It really makes an impact with blue hues.

These are the Copics I used to color Nixie.

Supplies

Stamps: Sweet November Nixie, C.C. Designs; Merry & Bright Sentiment, Stampendous

Pattern Paper: Midnight Frost, BoBunny

Card Stock: Burgandy, The Paper Company

Punches/Die Cuts: Scandinavian Snowflake punch and Artic Snowflake punch, Martha Stewart; Double Crochet Lace punch, EKSuccess; Tag, HOTP Template 
Embellishments/Tools: Beaded Ribbon, Wrights; Silver Ribbon, Michael's; Light Blue Pearl Pen, Viva Decor; Rhinestones, Michael's; Diamond Glaze, Judi-Kins; Stardust Stickles, Silver Embossing Tinsel, Faded Jeans Distress Ink and Foam Blending tool, Ranger Ind.

"Blue Christmas"

Hello, Friends!

Welcome to my "Blue Christmas" card. I made this card for several challenges this week listed at the bottom of this post.

I used HOTP Blue and Silver paper pack and this adorable Whiff of Joy Angel stamp.

The sentiment and holly leaves are from HOTP Christmas stamp collection embossed with silver embossing powder from Ranger Ind. I added rhinestones to the holly berries for some bling. The frame die cuts are Spellbinders Beaded Ovals and I added Blue Viva Decor Pearl Pen to embellish the ovals as well as the Silver Pearl Pen for the three pearls in the top right corner. I finished it off with white satin ribbon and a snowflake charm.

Here are the Copics I used to color the angel.

This entry is for the following challenges:
Creative Card Crew - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me Challenge - Moody Blues
Stamptacular Sunday - Blue Blue Christmas

"Winter Wonderland"

Hello, Friends!

Welcome to my "Winter Wonderland." I made this card for the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog as the guest designer for this week's challenge.

I used Echo Park's Wintertime paper pack including the pattern papers for Tilda and Edwin's winter coats. I colored the rest of the image with Copics and shaded the coats with the warm greys.

The tree was made with my Martha Stewart Scandinavian Style snow flake punch. I just punch several from green cardstock then clipped the ends of the snow flake and adhered them in layers to a triangle shape that I cut from the same cardstock. It really gives that extra 3D effect of the tree. I trimmed the tree with a little Snow Writer dimensional medium and added Crystal Stickles once it was dry.

The frozen pond was created with a sheet of transparency over pattern paper and a cut piece of white felt then covered with spray adhesive and sprinkled with Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter.

I finished it off with my white Sharpie Poster paint pen for my snowflakes on the background then covered them with Crystal Stickles.

Hope you enjoyed my card...See you next time.

Hugz,

Spellcaster Tilda

Hello, Friends...I have a new card this week using Spellcaster Tilda. I've had her for some time but I'm just now getting around to coloring and making a card with her. This is a nice break from all the Christmas cards I've been making. I swear I go to bed with glitter on me somewhere.

I used a new paper pack, Kaiser Kraft's Lilac Avenue and created a patchwork for the MDUC Challenge. I like these paper packs because they include coordinating tags, labels and borders. The flourishes and rectangular doily is from Marianne Designs. My flowers are Flora Doodles from Petaloo.

Tilda's wand is decorated with Stardust Stickles and a few rhinestones. I used my PC to create the sentiment with my CK Fairytale font.

These are the Copics I used to color Tilda.

Hope you enjoyed my card.

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time...

"Challenges this week"

Here is my submission for the December Sketch Project by Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog. The challenge is create LETTER and/or WORD projects using Magnolia stamps. I’m not sure if this will qualify but this project was the first thing that came to mind so I gave it a go anyway.

This entry also serves as a submission to "Just Magnolia Challenge Blog" which is "Anything goes with Sparkle."

I used some letter charms to spell Christmas for a sweet little ornament. I would normally put this on my tree but I like this so much it will hang in my craft room window.

I used Bo Bunny Midnight Frost papers. They have a bold look and gave my project extra sparkle using Martha Stewart border punch and glitter then wrapped it around my ornament.

Tilda has some extra sparkle on the lace of her pajamas as well as the gift with my Gelly Roll glitter pen; love this product.

"Magnolia Down Under Challenge #74"

Here is my submission for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge Blog. The challenge this week is SUMMER which is a nice break from all those Christmas cards I've been making.

I absolutely love this Tilda. She reminds me of me when I was much younger and I rode my bike everywhere.

I used an older paper pack from my stash of Deja Views. This paper speaks summer to me with all the greens, blues and flowers. I also stitched around the pattern paper which is something I don't do often but I love the look. And I made the light green rosebuds with a couple of punches from the same color cardstock to match.
