Love Is In The Air

I've used the sweet new Tilda from the Special Moments Collection for the Love Is In The Air theme at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  Did the hidden tag thing along with extending the doily die behind the oval with Tilda.

Wonderful products to find at the wonderful Magnolia-licious store:
3041 TILDA WITH ROSETTES
1 DH VINTAGE TAG DIE
21 DH ROMANTIC TAG - hearts
35 DH VINTAGE KEYS
81 DH VINTAGE BOX LACING CHOCOLATE DIE
24 DH DREAM TAG DIES
185 MB CLASSIC UPPER ALPHABET DIES

Actually used the 82 DH Vintage Box Lacing Coffee Die, but the one above is similar and would work very nicely too!  Also used the Parker Alphabet, but the Classic or Typewriter would also work as well.  I find these dies for cutting letters for cards the perfect size.  Just use a two way glue, let it dry a little and then adhere.  Easy and no messy glue squeezing out from underneath.  Found I needed a longer tag behind the ovals for Tilda, so took two Dream Tags, cut off one end and spliced them together to make a longer tag.  The splice doesn't even show, but even if it did, a ribbon placed over the splice would have covered it up.

Tilda was colored with Promarkers.  I've used Crystal Effects on the Rose, added some pearls and also used Antique Linen Distress Ink sponged on the ivory pieces for the vintage look.

The 4th of July coming up for us, so wishing you all a happy, fun and safe holiday!!!  Enjoy every day and thanks for stopping by!

A Few Cards

 This is a quick posting of a few easy cards.  Not a lot of stuff on them, so the cute images show up!  Of course, I did have to at least use some dies though!!!  Love the dies!!!
3099 TILDA WITH BIG CUP OF ICE CREAM
81 MB TWIRLED HEART BORDER DIE
MINI BUTTERFLY DREAMS PAPER PACK

Colored with Promarkers.  Used the Scor-Pal for the embossed frame and then sanded.  Word stamp is SU.  Added white gel pen for accents.

3043 TILDA WITH HEARTSPOTS
02 MB DELICATE VINE DIE
MINI PRINCE AND PRINCESSES PAPER PACK

Colored with Promarkers.  Word stamp unknown, but thought it went well with her heartspots! Used a couple of Spellbinder dies.

435 SUMMER CAKE
34 DH WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIE - tiny flower
66 MB PEPITA BORDER DIE
MINI BUTTERFLY DREAMS PAPER PACK

Colored with Promarkers and added some Crystal Lacquer to the frosting to make it shiny and some yellow glitter to the flames.  Word stamp is Hero Arts and also used a couple Spellbinder dies.  This little flower die I use so much.  It is great for this type of thing and also for centers of flowers.  Was just thinking Pepita sounded familiar and thought isn't that what they also call pumpkin seeds.  Hmmmm, the border does look like an outline of pumpkin seeds!  Yup!!!  Cute ain't it?!!!  There is your Spanish lesson for today!

The pearls and rhinestones were a nice extra little gift that came with the latest MagnoliaINK magazine.  There are always wonderful ideas and lots of project and directions in the magazines, but I especially liked this one and hope to try some of the projects in it.  You can get your extra free little gift and the magazine at Magnolia-licious along with tons of other great things with terrific deals and wonderful service!
