Another Easter Card

 

Good morning!  I have another Easter card to show you today using the second stamp from the Easter Pop Up Box.  I love this adorable Tilda with her cute little nose.  All of the papers are from Magnolia except the spotted one.

As always I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.

The sentiment also comes in the set and I have used one of the Woodland Tags to cut it out.  The daffodils are also stamps from the pop up box.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Happy Easter! An Easter Tunnel Card

Good morning and Happy Easter!  Did you get hold of Magnolia's Easter Pop Up Box?  I'm so glad I did, they are so cute and there are lots of lovely sentiments.  I have created a tunnel card using Spellbinder's Nestability Easter Eggs dies.  All of the papers are from Magnolia except the spotted one.

I have painted Tilda with Distress inks to match the butterfly papers and cut her out to pop in the centre of the final layer of the 'tunnel'.

The sentiment was cut out with one of the Woodland Tags Doohickey dies and the cute daffodils are part of the Easter Pop Up Box too, painted with Distress Inks.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Happy Easter

Good morning!  I am a little late posting my Easter creation but better late than never!  I have used the gorgeous Tilda from the Easter Pop Up Box.  Isn't she cute in her bunny outfit?  The paper is by Pion Design - perfect for an egg card - I love it!

As always, I have painted her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and used a white gel pen for the dots on her cheeks and eyes.

I have stamped around the edges of the paper with a couple of script stamps that come in the Pop Up collection.  The two sentiments also come in the set.

I have added gorgeous lace and flowers from Craft Heaven along with a seam binding bow.  The bird's nest charm from Craft Heaven is stunning with its little pearl eggs!  I have actually used the lilac seam binding but the poor light when I took the photo makes it look pink.

I hope you like it and that you had a lovely Easter.  Thanks for looking!

TOMIC Inspiration Post - Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  I hope you are enjoying the Easter weekend.  We have made, and already eaten several, Easter nest cakes here and are looking forward to this morning's egg hunt!  You may have already seen today's project if you tuned into Magnolia's debut on Hochanda TV where my lovely team mate Becky created live on the show.  I'm sharing it today on the TOMIC blog.  I saved a pretty yellow egg box ready for decorating as an Easter gift - these are a great idea to give small eggs in.

I had to get an Easter bunny on here, of course, so I chose the sweet Tilda with Little Bunny from the Sunbeam Collection and painted her with Distress Inks as always.  I added Stardust Stickles to her head band and the frills on her pockets.  I also used the cute Sunlight stamp in the background.

To add some extra interest to the image I stamped her face and the bunny's tail twice so that I could decoupage the image.

I used the bird Doohickey from Vintage Box 5 and the recipe card from the Recipe Card Collection to cut out the image.

The sentiment is also from the Sunbeam collection and I've used the feather Doohickeys and flower spray Doohickey from Vintage Box 5 too.  The daffodils were created using the Daffodil Doohickey and stamens from my stash.  I made the little eggs from air drying clay before painting with white acrylic paint, inking with chalk ink and adding the speckles with a Distress Ink marker.

I added the same embellishments at the other side of the egg box.

I made a belly band for the egg box and edged it with lace Doohickey from Vintage Box 3, cut several times.  It makes such a pretty edge! 

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Have a wonderful Easter!

TOMIC #2 - Easter (& an animal or egg)

Good evening!  I am a little late with my TOMIC challenge card this month as I have been very busy behind the scenes with some Magnolia projects.  I'll tell you more about them another time, but for now I present my Easter card!  Once again I have used the gorgeous Sakura Background and Daffodil Doohickies on my project.

Did you join in Magnolia Day or buy any of the kits?  This little cutie is from one of the kits - isn't she amazing?  As always I have coloured her with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I've also added Stardust Stickles to her wings.  To create the Easter eggs I cut egg shaped frames with Spellbinders dies and then cut the Sakura Background cut outs to match.  I think they look so pretty!

The butterfly edge is by Joy Crafts and the leaves were cut with an older Doohickey die.

The daffodils were cut from Foamiran this time.  I have used ivory Foamiran and inked it slightly in the centre with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this month for the TOMIC challenge.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations!

Thanks for looking.

The Official Magnolia Blog - Our First Challenge!

Good morning!  I'm so excited that it is the launch of our first challenge on the Official Magnolia Blog today!  Our first theme is 'Spring'.  You must also use at least one Magnolia die.  I have used four on my card!  The card shape was cut with the frame from Vintage Box 1 and I have used the Sakura Background Doohickey to fill the circular cut out.

I have used the gorgeous Daffodil Doohickey to create the daffodils.  I love this die and I'm sure you're going to be seeing it a lot over the next few weeks.  I've always wanted to be able to make daffodils!

The leaves were cut with a Doohcickey from Volume 4.  The gorgeous dragonfly stamp is from Vintage Box 5.

The butterfly is the largest stamp from the Butterfly Kit from the Once Upon a Time Collection.  I added a touch of Weathered Wood distress ink to the wings.

I hope you can join us this month for our 'Spring' challenge.  I've had a sneak peak at the rest of the team's cards and I can safely tell you that you are in for a treat when you pop over to the blog.  They really are stunning!  Thanks for looking and good luck if you enter the challenge!

Ribbon Girl DT - Easter Cards

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share with you the Easter cards that I made for my son and daughter this year.  I have cut both cards using a Spellbinders egg die from Pion Design Easter papers.  I have then inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink.

 On each card I have added a tulle bow: one from white tulle and the other from pink tulle.

  I have also added white daisies, white cherry blossoms and a 10mm rose to each card.

 The cute border was cut with Martha Stewart punches top and bottom.  I have also added some Amanda lace from The Ribbon Girl underneath.

I hope you like my cards.  Pop over to the Ribbon Girl to see lots more gorgeous laces, ribbons and flowers!  Thanks for looking! x

Magnolia-licious DT - Mid-way Reminder

Good morning!  It is time for our mid-way reminder at Magnolia-licious where the designers showcase either a Mini Magnolia stamp or one of the other stamp lines carried in the store.  I have chosen this sweet Mini Magnolia stamp to create a tiny Easter card.

 I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added the dots to her cheeks with a white gel pen.

 The sentiment is also a Magnolia stamp.  I have cut it in half after stamping to create two little tags.  The gorgeous lace is from The Ribbon Girl.

 Apart from the hydrangea flower, all of the flowers and the stamens are from The Ribbon Girl too.  The bird was cut with a Doohickey die from one if the Doohickey kits.

 I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at Magnolia-licious.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations.  Thanks for looking! x

Magnolia-licious DT - Anything Goes

Good evening!  Today sees the start of our new challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge and our theme is Anything Goes.  I have made an Easter card using some new dies from the Magnolia-licious store and, of course, sweet Tilda.

 The Happy Easter die cut is from the store.  I love the shape of this die!

 The gorgeous cherry blossoms are from The Ribbon Girl.

 The circle cut out is also from the store.  Hiding behind the delphiniums is Tilda playing hide and seek in an egg for Easter.  I have teamed her with the fence die from one of the Doohickey kits.

 The gorgeous butterflies, and the papers, are by Pion Design.

All About Magnolia Challenge DT - All About Spring

Good evening!  It is time for me to share my card as inspiration for this month's All About Magnolia Challenge, and this month our theme is, 'All About Spring'.  I have made an Easter card for my little girl to give her teacher.

I have used the sweet Tulip Wheelbarrow from an old Easter collection and painted it with Distress Inks.

 All of the flowers are from The Ribbon Girl.

 I love to use the small rose buds to create Lily of the Valley flowers on spring cards!  The gorgeous lace down the side of the image is also from The Ribbon Girl.

 I have used a sweet die of tiny rabbits which was a gift from my lovely friend Karen, thanks sweetie!
