2nd Finish What You Start Card!

Can't believe it!  Yes, I finished another card that I had started!!!  There are so many things I loved using on this card.  Fairy Dust Tilda, the Bon Voyage papers and the new DooHickey Dies!!!  Sure enjoyed the day playing!!!  Not much of the background paper is showing, but it is gorgeous with peacock feathers on it!

Here are Direct Links to the Magnolia products at Magnolia-licious:
#340 FAIRYDUST TILDA
BON VOYAGE PAPER PACK
#19 MINI ZIG ZAG AND SCALLOP BORDERS
#20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER
#22 VINTAGE FLOWER AND LEAVES

Water colored Tilda with Distress Inks, cut her out and raised her with foam tape.  Added Stickles, rhinestones and a satin ribbon.  Edged the paper with white acrylic paint.  Used both the Romantic Lace Border and Mini Zig Zag Border dies on the inside border along with a Penny Black stamp that is just perfect to go along with our Tilda's!

Enjoy every day!!!

Finish What You Start!

 

I have a terrible track record of finishing things that I've started.  I vowed I would try to at least finish a few of these started projects before I start anything new.  Well at least do a couple than start something new....can't completely change my mode of operation!!!  :)

Started a corner bookmark months ago and was trying to figure out how to be able to put it on a card but still remove it easily.  This card would work well to give someone along with a book.  The corner bookmark just slips over the corner of the card.

Of course I love using the Mini Magnolia's and well, you know I just can't get enough of punches and dies so had to use two of the new DooHickey Dies.  Thought Flying Tilda was perfect to flutter in with well wishes for someone not feeling well.  Also used the Spellbinders Lacy Circle, Circle, Tag, Cuttlebug Victorian embossing folder and Stampin' Up oval punch.

Always think everything needs dimension, so did shape the flowers and leaves even though I know they will get flattened in the book!

All the wonderful Magnolia products are HERE at Magnolia-licious!!!

Vintage Vogue Friends

Love the richness of the deep red color of the Cherry Cobbler card stock.   I've used it with the Basic Gray and Confetti White cardstock.

The stamps are the Vintage Vogue set and coordinating Very Vintage jumbo wheel.  Used the Scallop Trim Corner punch.   The butterfly is The Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.  All above products by Stampin' Up!  Flowers and leaves are made with the discontinued Trio Flower and 1/8" circle punches.

 Made this a center fold card.  Center fold cards are so easy to make using the Scor-Pal.

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy every day!!!

Spring has Sprung!

Spring just doesn't seem to be the word that comes to mind when we look outside and the snow is blowing and drifting!  Yup another snowstorm!  Spring will be so appreciated when it does finally get here.

The Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge this month is a spring themed card with mini Magnolia's.  If you have hopped here from the talented artist Maureen, you are hopping in the right direction.  If you came on your own, you will want to stop by the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog and start from the beginning.  There too you will also find all the details to enter the challenge and have a chance to win a great Maggie prize!!!

I love this little Tilda as Shepard and thought she would go well with the Magnolia tree.  You'll find Mini #3031 Tilda with Shepard HERE.  Please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious for the Mini #454 Magnolia Tree.

These are colored with Distress Inks with white gel and glaze pens added for accents.  For the layers I've used the Spellbinders Lacey Square, Stampin' Up's Framed Tulips embossing folder, and Martha Stewarts Garden Trellis Border punch.  The tiny flowers are a Punch Bunch 5 flower corner punch.

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to stop by and of course always appreciate your comments!!!

Now to continue on the hop, you will definitely want to go to the awesome Angie's blog HERE.  I'm sure she will have some wonderful spring eye candy for you!

Enjoy every day!!!

Frolicking Tilda and Edwin

Must be that I am soooo anxious for spring, that I'm imagining myself dancing and frolicking along with Tilda and Edwin down a path with lovely green grass and the leaves rustling in the gentle breeze with the sunset spreading rays of beautiful sunshine and warmth across the land!  Yes, I do have an imagination and to finish getting through winter, we all need it!!!

Kept this card base very simple to focus on the images.  Have used this pretty oval scene which I believe is #579 Landscape Oval.  I bought it way back but don't see it in stock right now.  Please contact Diana at Magnolia-licious if you are interested.  There are some other terrific scenes that would work nicely too though and they are available HERE.  This stamp is a MINI #3073 TILDA AND EDWIN DANCING.  Again I managed to pick one out of stock right now, but the regular size Tilda and Edwin Dancing is available  HERE.  Such a cute stamp no matter which size you go with!!!

Didn't keep track of the colors I used of the Distress Inks, but think I used most of the greens and browns!
It is wonderful to see everyone that has taken the challenge on Magnolia-licious Highlites.  So many pretty cards!!!  Congratulations to all those for their outstanding work!  For those that haven't yet, there is still time to enter your challenge with a chance to win a generous prize from Diana at Magnolia-licious.

Have been coloring away, but the cards aren't finished yet.  As I get older I'm not sure if time really does fly by faster or I'm just getting slower!!!  I was never very fast to begin with!!!  :)

Enjoy every day, no matter what speed it goes by!

Tulle Skirt Tilda Heart Easel Card and More Minis!

Have been wanting to do a heart shaped easel card for some time, so finally got around to doing it.  This is for the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge for February with the recipe being Hearts, Pink, White, Silver and Green if needed for leaves.  Even if we didn't want to make a valentine, this theme would still work for a wedding card too!

I used the adorable #210 Tulle Skirt Tilda.  Please let Diana know at Magnolia-licious if you are interested in getting her.  She is from the 2010 Wedding Collection.  Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and Touch pens and I used a variety of dies from Spellbinder, the scrolls and leaves on the bottom part are Marianne Design dies.  Also a couple of Punch Bunch punches were used for the flowers and leaves.  The embossing folder is a Tim Holz design and of course added white gel pen and pearls.  The Valentine sentiment was from JoAnn's from the $1 bin!  The colors on Tilda actually match better in real life then they show on the photo.  I've also used a metallic mirror silver for the hearts and scallop oval.

My husband's birthday is on Valentine's day, but I don't think I'm going to get by giving him this one!!!  Going to have to work on something in John Deere green I think!!!

Recently have been working on tags with some more of the mini images from Magnolia Mini World for Diana to take to CHA.   They have been so fun to do and really enjoyed doing them!  Loved doing the ones that can be used for Easter.  Check out Little Bunny Tilda and the little accessory images!!!  Sooooo cute!!!!
