Special Moments Tilda Notecards Times Four

So many times I need a card, but I have already made them a specific occasion.  This time, I decided to just make some cards that can be used any time.  The card packets which include 10 cards and 10 matching envelopes work perfectly for this kind of thing.  I was working on these and got an e-mail that Diana is offering these packets for a summer blow out, so now is the time to take advantage of a fantastic deal!!!  Lots of beautiful colors too!!!

CARD PACKET - 10 MATCHING CARDS AND ENVELOPES

This is a great way to make up some cards at one time.  I pulled out some white, green and purple card stock and many of my favorite dies and just started cutting pieces.  Then just started laying out the pieces and added a few more if needed.  Also had my Scor-Buddy handy to put in some embossed lines for accents.   Kept things kind of flat so I can take advantage of using the matching envelopes.

The images are all from the new Special Moments Collection and colored with Promarkers.  White and Clear Gel Pens were used for accents along with pearls.

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.

Please join us for the Love Is In The Air challenge!  You can find all the details HERE!!!

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!

Thanks Tilda!

 

I love using the little "sitters" of the Magnolia stamps!  They have their little feet dangling over the edge!  Was going to try and not use flowers, but just couldn't bring myself to leave it without, so used some new dies and some old favorites!

This is my project for Mini Monday over at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge blog.

Here is the cutie stamp and the wonderful dies I used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI 250 SITTING TILDA WITH BUTTERFLY
34 DH WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIES - flowers
9 DH DRAGONFLIES DIE
95 DH VIEW MASTER DIE
113 MB FLUTTER VINE DIE
180 MB MAGIC FLOURISH DIE
201 MB A LITTLE THANKS DIE
837 PS DELICATE CHAIN DIE

The View Master disk is a new Doohickey die and I really like the size of this one.  The Memory Box Delicate Chain cuts such a nice little border, perfect for that little bit of a border.  I've found this Memory Box Magic Flourish die is very handy to also use with the larger butterfly dies.  It can be cut apart and used for antennae or like the butter fly is leaving a swirly trail! 

Tilda and the butterfly were colored with Promarkers and I used Spellbinder oval dies along with some older Stampin' Up background papers.

Since I am a fan of the A2 size card, the minis work so well for them.  Diana at Magnolia-licious offers such wonderful prices on Magnolia items plus many other wonderful products!  Please stop by and check out all the good deals!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer (or winter in Australia!!!)  Thanks so much for stopping by and always appreciate your comments!  Enjoy every day!

Wonderful Wee Wednesday Sweet Blossom

Time for another Wonderful Wee Wednesday and I've used this image from Wee Stamps!  Besides Magnolia's, I also love these sweet images by Sylvia Zet.

You will find her and the dies at my favorite online store Magnolia-licious:
WEE 133 SWEET BLOSSOM
22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES
26 HEART SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS - flowers 

Not more than a minute ago, the dies were all in stock, but ooops, I blinked and some are sold out.  Shows me once again, when I want to buy something, I need to get it while it is there....buying lesson learned and great justification for getting things!!!  :)   Please check with Diana if there is a particular one you are looking for, otherwise, there is a wonderful selection of soooo many fun dies HERE too!

This little gal and her little pet were colored with Promarkers.  I've used Spellbinder circle and scallop dies along with some DCWV papers.  Pearls and white gel pen were used for accents.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!

Flash Fan

I'm sure you have seen some awesome projects from the Magnolia-licious Design Team for the Summer Themed Blog Hop.  If you've come from the fabulous works of Jane at Jane's Lovely Cards, you've come in the right order.  If you've come on your own, you will want to get the complete list so as not to miss a thing at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.

Now I have to say, I was a little stumped on what to make for the summer themed project.  I decided since I and many of my hot flash friends are toting electric fans with us when we get together for stamping, why not a portable fan with Tilda on it!!!  I made sure I used lots of glue to hold everything in place so it stays together while waving back and forth!!!

From the best online store Magnolia-licious:
3069 FORGET ME NOT TILDA
17 DH SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIE- Leaves
22 DH VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES
81 DH VINTAGE BOX LACING CHOCOLATE DIE
29 DH SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIE 

Be sure to check out the fantastic deals Diana has at the store Magnolia-licious!  She has the best prices and store credit besides!!!  And also terrific customer service!!!

The fan I just cut out by hand and then used the Scor-Pal to put my folds in it.  Have also used a couple of Spellbinders dies, 1/8" and 1/4" hole punches, seam tape for the bow and a wide craft stick for the handle.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.

Please continue on the hop to Julie's at Stamps, Papers, Ribbons n Things.  Oh what wonderful things you will see there!

Thanks so much for stopping by and always appreciate the comments that you take time to leave!!!!  Enjoy every day!

Tilda with a Butterfly

The theme for the challenge at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge blog is Butterflies this month!  Besides flowers, I love using butterflies!

From the Fantastic Magnolia-licious Store:
392 PRINCESS PEA TILDA
82 DH VINTAGE BOX LACING COFFEE
29 DH SWIRLY BUTTERFLY
71 DH POINSETTIA
47 DH SPRUCE TWIG
MINI PAPER PACK
MAGNOLIA FLOWERS
MAGNOLIA PEARLS
95 MB SMALL FELICITY FRAME  (Very similar is the 95 MB VAUDEVILLE FRAME)

I think this little Tilda is so adorable how she is sitting!  A fun one to use on so many things!  The butterfly is one of my very favorite dies because it has the body separate from the wings.  Diana does have some other gorgeous butterfly dies and stamps too!  Check HERE. 

There isn't much showing, but the Vintage Box Lacing Coffee Border die that Tilda is sitting on is wonderful!  I love how it is filled with little holes and it cuts beautifully!  Will have to use again, but have more of it showing.

I used the Spruce Twig dies for the ferny type things and absolutely love the Poinsettias for the leaves!  They are such a great shape not only for the flowers, but to cut apart and make leaves too!

I'm usually making my own flowers, but received these beautiful scrunchy type flowers made by Magnolia.  Love Scrunchy!!!!  And was it nice and quick to use them!

Hope you will stop by the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge blog and check out how you can join in on the fun!  You will find all the details there and get to see the talents of the Design Teams awesome inspiration!  They are so very creative!!!!

Enjoy every day!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!
