Stamp and Create Weekly Candy

Hi friends!
I have a card for Stamp and Create and because today is Monday, we have our Weekly Candy too. For my card today, I used Little Love bear by Penny Johnson from Stampavie. The Designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 Ruby 6x6 paper pad.
 
I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and I know I'm a little bit rusty in using Copics (or I should say rusty-er...) since I have not used it for a while but I'm starting to use it again. Anyway,  I was going for a CAS card and this is what I came up with.


Now for our Weekly Candy

Tilda in Cotton dress

Happy Friday! 
 Today at Stamp and Create with Magnolia we have a new challenge and out theme is

For my DT card, I made a Sweet 16 Birthday card.
I made a very girly pink card. I used Tilda in Cotton Dress from the Once Upon a Time Collection. I inked her up with Distress Ink Reinkers and for the creases and folds on her dress, I followed how Zoe colored her dress using Copics. (She posted a photo in FB. I share the link as soon as I find it.)


Here's a closer look at Tilda. I used some Frontage Shabby Pink EP around the edges. The flowers  are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


There is a pull-out Tag for the sentiment and I used Magnolia Designer paper.


Here are are photos of the embellishments.  I made the heart using Frantage Fragments and Crackle Accents.




I used a button to accent the seam binding. And I just love the carriage charm!

Stampand Create Candy and Tilda with Ice Cream

Hi there! 
I'm back for another Stamp and Create Weekly Candy post. I apologize for my late post.
 
For my card today, I used Tilda with Big Ice Cream from With Love Collection. DooHickey Dies used are: Leaf and SwirlRound Talk/Thought Bubbles, and the So Wrapped Starlight Tag.

I colored Tilda with  DIs and I sew around the edges of the paper. Instead of using lots of flowers, I used buttons which I think look very cute.


Now for this week's Candy

Sitting Tilda with Butterfly and New Dies

Hello Magnolia Fans!
I want to share with you today a project I made using the 
New DooHickey Dies 
from
Once Upon a Time Collection

I used a brown paper bag and decorated it using the New DooHickey Dies, one of the new stamps and some Magnolia paper. The New Dies I used are 
Tilda Envelop Edge
Peacock Feathers
Lace Coaster


A closer look at Tilda and the Dies.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~


I'll be back for another project using the New Dies within the week.
I hope you like my paper bag project and I hope I inspired you somehow.

Thank you dropping by!

Once Upon a Time in Tilda's Town

Hello my lovelies! Are you happy it's finally the end of the week? I sure am! I also wish we will have a nicer weather for the weekend. It has been raining (and flooding) and gloomy lately...but on the bright side, I see green everywhere! I have a pile of cards that needs to be photographed but because of the gloomy weather, I don't have the right lighting for a photograph. Well, I'm used to just natural lighting so I guess I have to wait for Mr. Sun to show up.  OR I need to finally make a
 Light Tent/Box.  My friend Pam has a video tutorial on how to make one... and I think I need to make one.

Anywhooo... we have a new challenge at Tilda's Town. This week our theme is
 ONCE UPON A TIME
I'm pretty sure a lot of you already have a stamp or two from the Once Upon a Time Collection.  They are so adorable! One of my favorite images from this collection is Tilda Longstocking. Just like Pippi Longstocking, she is just the cutest. How many of you still remember the Pippi Longstocking movie? I was in grade school when it came out and I loved it!  And I think it was nice of Pauline to draw a Tilda based on Pippi Longstocking because to me, Pippi is a fictional  Swedish character. Well, the author of Pippi Longstocking books was Swedish...  so I just assumed.

Now on to my card.
I colored Tilda using DIs (as usual... but I really need to go back to my Copics soon!) The shades of lilacs, purples and lavenders has been my favorite lately and I enjoyed playing with the colors.


Here's a closer look at Tilda.


The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I painted them with some gesso.




I played with some Frantage Color Fragments and some Crackle Accents and I love the result!


For the inside of card, I made it simple with butterflies and the Corner Die.


Sadly, this is going to be my last post as a Tilda's Town DT.  Tilda's Town Challenge will be a year old next month and I am so proud and honored to be part of this wonderful Design Team for a year.  I will miss all the girls on the team especially Pam, our DT leader and team coordinator who is the best and I'm sure all the other TT DTs will agree with me. :)

Stamp and Create Weekly Candy

Happy Monday! It's time for another Weekly Candy at Stamp and Create!
But before that, I have a Baby Card to share with you.


I used Baby Edwin from the Princes and Princesses Collection and I colored Baby Edwin with DIs. DooHickeys used were Scalloped Stitched Lace for the sentiment from CC Designs and Tea Label Tags for the baby's name.  The DP is from MME. I used the Lifestyle Crafts Doily Die for the card base.

Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge: Spring with Ribbons

It's time for another challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia.
Our new theme is

Here, I used Happy Easter Tilda from the Little Easter Collection. And as I was going thru my 6x6 paper packs, I saw one old/retired MME paper pad and I thought it would be a nice to use it for the image I chose.  I actually made 3 other sentiments for this card because the image is so versatile that you can use it for any "happy" occasion.


I used DIs to color Tilda and the swirl stamp is also from Magnolia. I really love the older stamps especially the accessory and background stamps and this swirl stamp is one of my favorites.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used Viva Decor Pearl Pens for the pearls.


The ribbon is from my stash and so is the lace, brad and charm. The DooHickey dies I used were Scalloped Stitched Lace and Tea Label Tags

Weekly Candy at Stamp and Create

Hello friends! I'm here today for another Weekly Candy and a card for

First off, here's my card and I used Edwin with Stolen Heart from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection of 2012. He is one of my favorite Edwin images.  I colored him with DI's and I added some Crackle Accents to the heart on his hand. I tried to keep it CAS and sometimes it's just so hard not to embellish.

Here's a closer look.


The inside of the card has the same sketch as the front.
