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!

Craft Heaven DT - A Valentine's Card

Good morning!  I have a Valentine's card to share with you today using some gorgeous Reprint Love & Romance papers and another cutie from Magnolia's Lovely Collection.  I finally, after years of coveting, acquired the Brides Bow Doohickey and have used it on the belly band of the card.  I have also used the Old Swedish Lace Doohickey for the beautiful lace edge.

This is what the card looks like once the belly band is removed.  Excuse my finger - it wouldn't stay closed for the photo otherwise!  I have used the Heart Frame Doohickey for the edges and the heart from the Woodland Tags Doohickey set for the aperture.  I have then framed the aperture with a piece by Scrapiniec which I cut in half so that it opens with the card.

The photo above shows the card fully opened.  Inside I have used more papers from the Reprint paper pack and Snail Mail Tilda, painted with Distress Inks.  I have also used one of the sentiments from the collection.

As always, Tilda was painted using the no lines technique.  I have added some stamping with various Magnolia post mark stamps around the edges of the image.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Sentiment Christmas Card

Good morning!  I'm almost there with showing these forgotten Christmas cards.  I have used Maja Design papers on this one and a simple embossed sentiment and some die cutting.  You could make lots of these in a relatively short time.  The sentiment is from the Big Christmas Sentiments set, embossed in gold.  The sentiment mat, the poinsettia and leaves were cut with dies from the Poinsettia and Old Paper set and the paper lace was cut with the Vintage Lace Doohickey.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Christmas Bauble Card

 

Good morning!  Today' Christmas card is a quick and simple one using one of the Christmas Sentiments and Magnolia Christmas Doohickeys to create a bauble.

For the top of the bauble I used the bottom of the lamp post from the Lamp Post with Sign and Vine Doohickey set and adorned it with foliage from the Christmas Greens and Poinsettia with Old Paper Doohickey dies.  The card base was cut with the old paper Doohickey too.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

This one features Gingerbread House Tilda painted with Distress Inks as aoways.  I have used a white gel pen to add the icing to the gingerbread house and Stardust Stickles to the snowflakes and bows in Tilda's hair.  I have used the Window with Foliage So Wrapped Doohickey to create the gingerbread house and the sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiments set.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Snowman Christmas Card

 

Good morning!  I have another of the Christmas Cards I found to show you today.

I have used I Want to be a Snowman Tilda on this one, painted with Distress Inks as always.  The image mat was cut with the old paper Doohickey from the Poinsettia with Old Paper set.

I have used the Winter Tree Doohickey and the So Wrapped Snowflake tag but cut the snowflakes off to use on their own.

The leaves were cut with the Christmas Greens Doohickeys.

 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Angel Christmas Card

 

Good morning!  I have another Hochanda TV project to show you today - a Christmas card this time, using the gorgeous Christmas Angel.  I have used the heart frame Doohickey for the card base.

As always Tilda is painted with Distress Inks.  I have added Stardust Stickles to her wings and halo.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiments set and the leaves were cut with a die from the Poinsettia and Old Paper Doohickey set.

The poinsettia was made with dies from the same set.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!
