Midweek Magnolias - #133 Mother's Day or Special Lady

Happy Hump Day, Friends!

The Midweek Magnolias are back with a new challenge. This fortnight our theme is…

“Mother’s Day or Special Lady”

Join us for the challenge and follow the theme and our roolz and you may have a chance to win a surprise from Magnolia Sweden.

My card features “Volang Dress Tilda” from the “Boho Collection” along with a PTI sentiment for a “Special Lady” to follow our challenge theme.

My designer papers are from Pion Design Studio of Memories collection paired with Bazzill smooth cardstock. I colored Tilda with the no-line stamp technique which gives my image a soft appearance.

Tilda’s frame was created with a Joy Crafts die as is the Butterfly border matched set and corner dies. I distressed the papers, dies and vintage seam binding with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Prima. Zva Creative provided all the rhinestone bling to my butterflies and the wire heart charm is from my stash.

Here is a close up of Tilda.

I hope I’ve inspired you to join us for the challenge. Have a great week.

Midweek Magnolias - Anything Goes

Happy Hump Day, Friends! I’m sharing my Midway Reminder DT card for our “Anything Goes with a Magnolia Image” challenge at Midweek Magnolias.

You have one more week to make a card or project to join in the challenge. Follow our rules and you will have a chance to win a prize from Magnolia Sweden.

My card features “Dancing Tilda in Italy” from the “Little Italy” collection. I practiced on my Distress Ink water coloring last week and I think Tilda turned out great. I really enjoy water color with DIs when I have time and it is so relaxing!!! Coloring with Copics is much quicker with only one layer to color; I can have an image done in about 30 minutes. Water coloring takes me 3-5 times as long because I tend to let it dry completely before adding additional layers.

My DPs for this card are from Pion Design paired with Bazzill cardstock. Since this cutie is dancing I embellished my card with some musical score dies from Memory Box. I love how it turned out.

Here’s a close up of Tilda.

I hope my project inspires you to join us for the challenge. Have a fabulous week.

Magnolia-licious - Green, Gold or Pink

Hello, Magnolia Friends. Today we have a brand new challenge at Magnolia-licious and this time we want to see your cards/projects that are created with “Green, Gold or Pink” colors. You can used any or all of these colors as long as they are the most prominent colors of your project.

You have until March 7 to join in for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from Magnolia-licious store.

My card features “Sweetness Angel Tilda” from the “A Touch of Love” collection. I used some pink and green designer papers from “Coffee in the Arbour” by Maja Design paired with Bazzill cardstock. I colored Tilda with Copics and added some pretty Ranger Stickles to her wings.

My card shape was cut with a Magnolia Doohickey die from the Vintage Box First Edition. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut all of my rolled roses and the outer mat of the card shape. I added a pretty pink bow with silky crush ribbon that I got from The Ribbon Girl and finished it off with a Lily of the Valley sentiment.

Here’s a close-up of Tilda.

Magnolia-licious is now offering a $20 gift certificate for the random winner of our challenge.

Have a great week. I’ll be back again tomorrow with another beautiful Magnolia card.

February GDT - Paper Nest Dolls

Hello, Friends! I have a new GDT card to share with you for the Paper Nest Dolls.

These new stamps were released on February 10 last week. You can see them all here.

My card features “Strawberry Emma.” I colored Emma with Copics and cut her out with my Silhouette Cameo PixScan. I love this tool. It is so easy to use. I just position the colored image on the PixScan mat, take a photo with my iPhone and transfer it to my PC. Then I open it in my Design Studio, create an outer edge with my preferred settings and cut. It is so simple.

My designer papers are from Maja Design “Life in the Country” collection. These papers have some darling strawberry pattern papers that are perfect for Emma and my strawberry patch theme. I used some of my new La-La-Land Club Kit Strawberry Blossoms dies to create my flowers in Emma’s strawberry patch. The 3D strawberries were made with my Magnolia DooHickey die.

Here’s a close up of Emma.

Thanks for stopping by today…I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

My card features “Miss You Tilda” from the A Touch of Love collection. I colored Tilda with Copics and added a bit of Ranger Stickles to her wings, hearts and halo. My designer papers are from Authentique paired with Bazzill cardstock.

I used lots of heart shaped die cuts and embellishments for a St. Valentine’s Day theme. My heart tree bark shapes were created with bronze Fran-tage and red embossing powder.

Magnolia-licious - Love and/or Hearts

Hello, Magnolia Friends. I cannot believe February is already here! Today I bring you a reminder to enter the Magnolia-licious “Love and/or Hearts” challenge.

You have until February 8 to join in for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from Magnolia-licious.

My card features “Cupid Angel Tilda” from the A Touch of Love collection 2016. I love the new Authentique Designer Papers I got from the Scrapbook Expo here in Denver this past October. I attend every year to see the latest in products and craft design. I would love to go to CHA as I am a member but there always seems to be something that keeps me at home.

I used some of my favorite die cuts for a St. Valentine’s Day theme from La-La-Land, Magnolia and Top Dogs Dies.

I had fun layering several lace trims from LLC, The Ribbon Girl and the Scrapbook Expo.

Here’s a close up of Tilda.
