Tilda with Daisy and Cuddly Siblings Cards

I've been working on cards that are kept rather simple.  Have a hard time leaving the backgrounds plain and sometimes use the embossing folders, but this time I wanted some clean lines to add a little design.

This new Sweet Crazy Love collection is so versatile and I'm lovin' all the images!!!  You can find the collection here at Magnolia-licious, and I can bet you, you will love more than one too!!!  As always, Diana has a terrific deal for you too!

Here is what I used on this card:
MINI #225 TILDA WITH DAISY
#17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIES-Snowflake for Leaves
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES-Small Flower

I've added the design lines with the Scor-Buddy.  A quick and easy way to add that little something to a plain background.  Have used the Spellbinder oval dies and corner punch my dear friend Marion sent me from Australia....sorry there is no name on it!  Pearls were added for accents along with the white gel pen again.

 

Yet another one that is just sooooo cute!!!  Again I didn't want the extras to overpower the darling image!  I think the Dream Tag, which comes with two pieces, sets off the images nicely.

More fantastic items from Magnolia-licious:

MINI #234 CUDDLY SIBLINGS

#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIES

#24 DREAM TAG DOOHICKEY DIES

#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES-Small Flower

Again I used the Scor-Buddy to create the embossed lines on the left side.  So simple yet I think it adds a lot.

Now there has been some discussion as to whose shoes are whose, but I just color them all the same!!!!  It is up to you to decide!!!  :)

The images on both cards are colored with Promarkers and Touch Markers.   I have found these minis to be VERY EASY to color!!!  With any of the brush or fine tip markers, it is a cinch to color and blend.  I usually use three colors with the Promarkers and even with the small areas, there is room for that too!  I am fortunate enough to be able to get together with stamping friends often and rather than haul a bunch of things that I probably won't use, I've started bringing stamped images and my color mediums only.  Nice.......ONE container to haul!!!  Realistically I know I wouldn't get many whole cards done anyway and this way I can relax and enjoy the coloring process yet still get to see what others are working on and visit too!  Then with the CAS card style, it is so easy to cut them out in circles or ovals, do a little layer stacking and pop them on a card.  Well, okay, I usually can't leave it alone and have to add at least a few flowers, but as you can tell, it makes for a fairly easy card to put together.  

I know my blog header needs to be updated to the season, but I'm hoping people look at the red flowers and think Valentine's instead of noticing the holly on the printed paper in the background!!!  :)

That's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy every day!!!

This little beauty from the Sweet Crazy Love collection is sooo cute!  Love the hair style on her!  I've kept this one in soft turquoise colors with a touch of soft green.

This is Rose Scent Tilda #255.  The full size is not available right now, but Diana at Magnolia-licious is getting new orders in all the time!  If you can't wait for that one, the mini version is available HERE along with the #23 ANTIQUE LACE DOOHICKEY DIE.

.

Colored with Promarkers and Touch Markers. Also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a couple of Spellbinder dies.  The thinking of you stamp and oval punch piece are from Stampin' Up!

Just love these little self-stick half pearls!  They are the perfect size for our Tilda's!  Found them at Michael's craft store.  Also used the gel pen for a few accents.

Sweet Crazy Love Valentine Blog Hop

Now if you've come here from Mindy's blog and saw her awesome tote bag, you have come along the hop in order, if not, you will want to start at the beginning HERE.  Can you believe how beautiful Mindy colored Tilda on fabric!!!!!!  Magnolia-licious Highlites is where you will find all the details and order for this fun hop.  My design teammates have some fantastic projects that you won't want to miss a single one!!!

I've colored Tilda with Promarkers and Touch Markers.

Find all wonderful Magnolia products HERE at Magnolia-licious:
#240 TILDA WITH WRAPPED HEART
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#19 MINI ZIGZAG AND SCALLOP BORDER DOOHICKEY DIES
#31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

As can be expected, a couple of things are out of stock right now, but there are lots of others to choose from and Diana is always getting new stock in too!  Shop Magnolia-licious for great products, terrific deals, awesome service and especially nice people to work with!!!

This doily die is designed to use with the minis, but I thought worked nicely with the regular sized Maggies too!  I've layered this onto a Spellbinders circle and heart die cuts and backed with a white circle.

The Mini Scallop border die is so handy for just that little bit of edging and the size works with both regular and mini Magnolia images

Then I had some paper left over, so decided what is Valentine's day without a container for candy!  This is a modified version of the milk carton pattern.  I'll have to add the dimensions later, but if you have the milk carton die, you can make it from that.

I've used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI #3025 TILDA WITH HEART CHAIN
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE
#36 VINTAGE DAISIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

The new So Wrapped Tilda Lace Tag is really nice because it makes a tag to fold in half, so you can put something on the inside.  Or you can cut it in half and make two tags at once!!!

Now you will want to continue on the hop to that sweet Barb's blog where she has also created something just tooooo darn cute!!!

Thanks for hoppin' along!!!  Hope you will join us in creating a Sweet Crazy Love Valentine and enter it in the Challenge!

Enjoy every day!

A Sunny Double Fold card with Tilda as a Star

Starting fresh with a brand new year!  My very best wishes to all of you for the coming year.  I want to thank you all for stopping by my blog and being a part of my passion.  And a thank you also to those that take up their precious time to leave comments.  They are all so greatly appreciated and it encourages me tremendously!

Today I’m sharing my card made for the Magnolia-licious Highlites January Challenge Anything Goes!  Our Hostess this month is the most talented Cheryl Rowley and she has left it wide open for us to create whatever our little hearts desire...as long as it contains at least one wonderful Magnolia stamp (or more of course)!!!

A nice sunny yellow and REALLY green will certainly make us think of spring coming so that can make the snow and ice more tolerable!!!  Tilda is colored with Promarker and Touch markers.  I’ve experimented a little with using dots for shading and also the blender pen to remove a little ink for the highlights on her jumper.

Here are the things (and links) I used on my double fold card that I got from Magnolia-licious:

258 TILDA AS A STAR

17 MISTLETOE AND SNOWFLAKE DOOHICKEY DIE-/Snowflake

27 MAGNOLIA BRANCH AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE- Butterfly 
34  WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-Tiny Flower

Did you see the leaves came from the tips of the snowflake?  I do putzy, but even I wasn’t going to put individual leaves on the wreath like that.  These are in nice little groupings of three on a stem.

Have also used a couple of Spellbinder dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder and an Inkadinkado stamp.

This new Sweet Crazy Love collection which you can find HERE at Magnolia-licious is one of the best and I’m sure is going to be soooo popular because we will be able to use these for so many occasions and because they are just so darned cute!!!  Can’t wait to get into making Valentines with them!

Magnolia-licious has the best collection of these and tons of others plus check out all the dies that Diana is now carrying!!!  Woohoo!!!  Remember too, awesome products, awesome service and awesome people at Magnolia-licious!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  On to another tremendous year of Maggie goodness!!!  Please join us in this challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!

Enjoy every day!!!
