Lots of New Stamps

Hi everybody!

I miss you all! It's been a very busy last few weeks for me. And I actually started the year, swamped with paper work and other projects that I will soon share with you.

Anywhooo...I'm looking forward to another year of creating and crafting.

To start off, we have a new DT at Stamp and Create.  

Please welcome Tina!

At the same time, Lacey has lots of New Stamps coming this week and in the coming weeks so visit the Stamp and Create Blog and also the store for more information.

Today, I'd like to share a door hanger I made for a friend's daughter.  I think I shared this over at FB but I have not shared it here. 

I used Tilda with Ballet Shoes from the Prince & Princess Collection. I colored the image with Copics. The DP is from Magnolia and the flowers are from WOC.

For more inspiration for the week,
visit the Stamp and Create Blog to see what my team mates made for you.

Thanks for stopping by!
See you again soon

SCMC: Dress up for Halloween

Dress up for Halloween

 

(Halloween or Tilda/Edwin Dressed up: Princess, Knight, Viking, Wild Tilda, etc)

Prize:

Stamp and Create carries a wide range of Magnolia stamps at some of the lowest prices!

I kept my card CAS because I didn't want to cover up the lovely DP I used. Here I used 

Princess Tilda.

One of my faves from the Princes and Princesses Collection. She is colored using Copic Sketch Markers and the sentiment is from CC Designs.

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: Tilda's Family

Hello my lovelies! It's Friday again and we have a new challenge at

Stamp and Create with Magnolia

 

The theme for our new challenge is

SPRING WITH NEW LIFE

(it can be Easter, New baby, Wedding...)

For my DT card, I chose Tilda's Family. A friend of ours is about  to give birth anytime soon and this card is for them. I made this a flat card with a pull-out tag for my sentiment.

*~*~*~*~*

When I colored this image, I didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl so I colored the baby's clothes yellow. I'm hoping that's a neutral color for babies.

Flower are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Supplies used:

DP: MME

Dies: DooHickeys Summer Foliage and So Wrapped Lovely, Spellbinders

Ribbon, Twine, Seam binding, charms from my stash

Tilda's Family 2

This is my 2nd Tilda's Family card. The first one I made can be found HERE. I used the same images but masked it on the opposite side. I colored this image over a month ago and I almost forget about it.  Good thing I had some new papers that matched the image.

This card is on it's way to California...to a good friend of mine 

who just gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

 In the inside of the card is a tag and at the back of the tag is where I wrote my message.

 

One more look...

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs,

Mae
