Balloon Christmas Card

Good morning!  Another Christmas card to show you today, this time featuring the gorgeous Hot Air Balloon Doohickey.  The beautiful background has been cut with the Tim Holtz Falling Stars die.  I love it for gorgeous but speedy backgrounds!  I cut the hot air balloon twice from co-ordinating Maja Design Christmas papers and then cut them to make a striped balloon.

I have used copper glitter card behind the Falling Stars die cut for extra sparkle.  The sentiment has been cut from some Maja Design Papers.  The seam binding was white and I stained it with a mixture of Fired Brick and Festive Berries Distress Inks.  The bells are from my stash.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Flower Bike Tilda

 

Good afternoon!  Today I have made a gatefold scene card using the gorgeous Flower Bike Tilda from Magnolia's Lovely Collection.  The papers are all from Maja Design, the green is Monochromes, Shades of Winterdays, Moss Green and the pink is from the Little Street Cafe Collection.

This is what the card looks like when you open the first 'gate' of the card.  I have used the fence and hill Doohickey from Doohickey Volume 6 to create the little fence scenes on each side.  I have also used the tree and blossoms from Doohickey Volume 22.

This is the card fully open.  The cute clouds were cut with a die from Volume 25 and I have used the Doily Edge Doohickey for the top of the card.

As always, I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks. 

I have used one of the Woodland Tags for the sentiment and rearranged the Have a Lovely Day sentiment by masking parts of the stamp so that it fitted in the heart.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

 Good morning!  Today I have another card to show you that I created for the Magnolia Advent Calendar in December.  As with the previous creations there is only this photo which was taken for the end of the video.  Hope you're not missing the up close and angled shots too much - or maybe you prefer just the one photo?  This creation features my favourite stamp from the new Lovely Collection, Flowery Tilda, and various Doohickey dies.  The paper is by Maja Design.

Yuletube Tutorial Number 2

 Good morning!  Today I'd like to show you another one of the creations I made for the Magnolia Advent Calendar in December.  As with yesterday's post, as they were for video tutorials and some have been sent out, I only have the photos that appear at the end of the videos rather than my usual up close and angled shots!  This first one uses the cute little Love Balloon Tilda.  As always I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  The gorgeous papers are from Magnolia too as are all of the dies used, except the circle dies used to create the rainbow.

Yuletube Tutorial No 1

 

Good morning!  I realised when I was going through my photo files that I haven't shared the creations I made for the Magnolia Advent Calendar in December on here.  As they were for video tutorials and some have been sent out, I only have the photos that appear at the end of the videos rather than my usual up close and angled shots!  This first one uses the gorgeous Wrapped Bouquet Tilda.  As always I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  The stunning papers are from Magnolia too.  I've had them for several years as they are in my "Too beautiful to use" selection!  I know I'm not the only one who has one of these paper selections lol!

 Here's the inside of the card.  If you would like to watch the tutorial then please click here.  Thanks for looking!

Pirate Pop Up Card

Good afternoon, I hope you're safe and well!  I thought I would share a card I made for a tutorial on the Magnolia Youtube Channel a few weeks ago, as I have just adapted the card to give to my nephew by adding the number 7 to it.

The card features the cute pirates from the You Arrr Amazing and the Treasure Art Stamp sets, painted using the no lines technique.

The Jolly Roger was embossed with white embossing powder.

I have used the Spruce Twig Doohickey die from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection to create the palm trees.

The wave Doohickey is from Volume 1.  I have also used the Feather Doohickey and the sentiment from the You Arrr Amazing stamp set.

I hope you like it.  Check out the video tutorial if you would like to have a go at making something similar yourself.  Thanks for looking!

Live, Laugh, Love

Good afternoon!  I hope my post finds you all safe and well.  I have created a card in soft blues and greys today using Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics papers and gorgeous Tilda from the advent calendar.  I can't seem to find her in the Pop Fizz Clink collection with the rest of the advent calendar stamps, perhaps she will be released later.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique, as always.  I have stamped around her with some postmark stamps from past Magnolia collections.

The beautiful cherry blossoms and roses are from Craft Heaven...

...and so is the cute Live, Laugh, Love, charm and seam binding.

The cute postcards were cut from one of the Maja Design papers and I have used the gorgeous gate Doohickey die from Magnolia behind the image.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Mother's Day Card

Good morning!  Here in the UK it is Mother's Day this coming Sunday and this is the card I have made for my Mum.  Once again I have used the gorgeous Maja Design Little Street Cafe papers.

I have painted the Key to My Heart Tilda with Distress Inks, as always, using the no lines technique.  I have also added some Stardust Stickles to the dots around her.

I love this sweet little Bird House Doohickey from Magnolia.  The flowers around it are from Craft Heaven.

I love these Daisies too.  Perfect for Spring themed cards!

The gorgeous key charm and seam binding are also from Craft Heaven.

I have used the Heart Background Doohickey from Magnolia behind the image.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.  Stay safe all of you!

Craft Heaven DT - Pop Fizz Clink!

Good morning!  Today I have another card to show you for Craft Heaven using the Pop Fizz Clink Collection and Maja Design's Little Street Cafe papers.  I love pink and yellow together so I am really loving this paper pad!

I have painted Pop Fizz Clink Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and I have added coloured the spots on her top and hair bow with a white gel pen.

I have used the Sakura Lanterns Doohickey dies to create the lanterns, and threaded them with seam binding.  I've also used the Sakura background die behind the image at both sides.  The flowers are from Craft Heaven too.

 I think I have almost covered the wide white lace behind the image, but it and the pink lace are both from the store.

I have used the balloons die from Doohickey Volume 5 along the top of the image.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Love You Watts

Good evening and happy Valentine's Day!  In honour of the day I'd like to show you my latest card for Craft Heaven featuring the Love You Watts Tilda from the Live Laugh Love Collection and papers from Maja Design's Little Street Cafe Collection.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks and added some details to the ribbon in her hair using a white gel pen.

The light bulb charm is from Craft Heaven and I have used the heart background Doohickey die behind the image.

The hearts are off cuts from the background die and I have added some cheesecloth behind the image too.

The sentiment comes with the Tilda, along with some lightbulbs and flowers.  I used a Spellbinders ornament die to cut Tilda out, using it upside down to resemble a lightbulb. 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Tina has a sale on Magnolia stamps at the moment - check it out here!
