Dandelion Tilda

Hello Magnolia Fans,

Can you feel the Spring Fever? Yes, it's definitely spring somewhere.  I know some friends who still have some snow and we had a few snow showers here in Chicago a few times this week.  And it's still cold. But spring is really here, though sometimes it doesn't feel like it yet.

Another Spring Fever is the New Collection from Magnolia Stamps. And the Stamps are cute and adorable as always.

Today, I have a tag using Dandelion Tilda from the Spring Fever Collection. I have colored her with Distress Ink Reinkers. I wanted to do the no-line coloring but there was so much detail in her hair and the flowers that I just couldn't do it with out dark lines.  But I really love her hair.

Here's a closer look at Tilda. I tried a new watercolor paper with this image and I not liking it so much. It absorbs too much too quickly, it was a challenge to blend.  But so far, I'm happy with the result. I probably just need to practice with the paper.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the designer paper is from Magnolia. The butterflies are made using airdry clay.  And I used Magnolia DooHickey Dies for this tag:

Month Tilda

Hello Magnolia Fans!

Yes, I'm back! It's been a long time and I apologize for being MIA.  As I said in my previous post...life got in the way and threw me a curve ball! But hey! I'm glad to be back!

My card today features a stamp from the latest Boho Collection from Magnolia. It's called Month Tilda. I colored her a few weeks ago but I didn't get a chance to post the card I made because I wanted the recipient of this card to receive it first. 

As always, I colored Tilda using Distress Ink Reinkers.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The DooHickey Dies used are: Flag and Cloud, Tilda Tag, Jolly Tag and Lace Coaster. I used a 

Go Kreate  Frilly #5 for the main card.

And of course some lace, seam binding, jute string and some air dry clay hearts to complete the card.

SCMC For A teacher

Hello everyone!

It's time for another challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia!

Our theme for the next 2 weeks is:

FOR A TEACHER

(card or gift)

Some of the kiddos are back to school and some will be back next week. Is summer really over? (sigh...)

For my take on this week's challenge is a memory book/album.  I made this album for my son's teacher last school year. She was assigned to another school so during the last week of school, I secretly asked the kids to write a short note/letter and I adhered them to this mini album, decorated it with school themed stickers and a picture of each student.

For the front of the album, I used Editor Tilda and colored her with Copics.  Flowers and leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Here's a peak of the pages.

Now, it's your turn.  Link up your creations for a chance to win:

Barn Window

Hello everyone!
My card for you today does  not have a colored image. Last week, I injured my right index finger and and I thought it was just a scrape.  I placed some band-aids to cover the cuts but then I noticed that I it started to hurt when I moved it or bent it.  Sure enough it was sprained.  So I had to splint my finger. It does feel a lot better if I keep it in a splint. BUT... had to make a card for a friend's post-wedding / birthday celebration. So I decided to make a card without a colored image.  And this is what I came up with.

For the background, I used the IO French Text stamp and stamped in on TH watercolor paper. I love the texture of this watercolor paper.  I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain and a blending tool.  I used some scrap patterned paper to die cut the Barn Window, Rose Leaf and the branches.  The flowers are from WOC.  Then I added some seam binding and a heart charm.

All the supplies I used are linked below.

Thank you for stopping by and come and visit me again soon!

Gemini Tilda

Hello fellow crafters and Magnolia lovers!

I have another birthday card for twins to share with you. This is actually for the same little girls who are turning 8 this week. The first set of same cards that I made last week, I have to give their Aunt and this one is for other kids to sign.

I used Gemini Tilda from the Zodiac Collection. And it's the perfect image for twins celebrating their birthday in May. This is one of my favorite images from the Zodiac Collection. First of all, I'm a Gemini. Secondly, this image is not only perfect for twin girls, but for sisters and even best friends.

Colored with Copics and yes, their dresses are pink...again.  It's their favorite color.
The inside of the card, I made 2 pockets and inserts with their names on the back.

The front side of each insert has the happy birthday sentiment 

and the lots of space for the kids to sign.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.I hope to see you again soon!
