Tilda with Fantasy Flower

Happy Friday Magnolia fans!

 

Before I go to my card today, I have 2 videos up on YouTube. If you want to know what supplies (paper, brush, inks) I use, Click HERE.

 Now to my card. I made a semi-criss cross card / gift card holder. I made the criss cross a bit offset to give it more character. I used Tilda with Fantasy Flower from the Lost and Found Collection

 This is what the inside looks like.  I used the Magnolia DooHickeys Grass and Wooden Sign dies.

The hearts are wooden buttons which I painted with acrylic paint and coated with clear Distress Crackle paint. The aged or browned look of the button was a result or reaction of the acrylic paint and the crackle paint together. This happened when it was completely dry. And I think it's a nice vintage look. What do you think?

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

And for these tiny little tags, I used the Tea Label DooHickey Dies.

And for a bonus card, I made a CAS card using Edwin Catching Fish from the  Sea Breeze Collection.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Two Tilda Cards

Hello my lovelies!

I have 2 cards to share with you today. I colored both images with Copic Sketch Markers.  My favorite ink pad for coloring with Distress Markers just run dry and I can't find another pad to replace it. It's an old ink pad and it is no longer available. So it's a bit frustrating not having the ink pad I'm comfortable coloring with.  Oh well... but I'm glad I have my Copics to play with.

My first card features New Year Sakura Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection. And the second card features Tilda Hiding Rose Bouquet from the Lost and Found Collection. For both cards, I used A2 size card base.

I tried to keep the cards simple and flat for easy mailing  but for the first card, I couldn't help but add some Wild Orchid Craft flowers. The second card fits really well inside a A2 sized envelop even with the button on top.

And I would like to remind you of the Magnolia DT Blog Hop next week!

Mark your calendars and and remember the blog hop starts at 9am Sweden Time.

Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you at the Blog Hop!

Write a Message Tilda 2

 Hello Magnolia friends!
I have a card and a calendar to share with you today. First is my card:
I went for a simple card using Write a Message Tilda from the Lost and Found Collection. Colored with Distress Ink Reinkers, I used the colors that matched the Magnolia Designer patterned paper. This is an A2 (4.25 x 5.5) sized card and I think I'm gonna make more cards in this size.

Here's a closer look at Tilda

The sentiment is from LOTV. For the heart, I die cut 5 small hearts, glues them together and added some glitter with a clear Wink of Stella, then finished it off with Glossy Accents.

The inside of the card is kept simple.

Now, for the calendar.  I know it's a bit late to make calendars for this year but we have 12 months and we are just about to jump into March so  this calendar is still good for at least 10 more months.

Here, I used Copics to color Violet Tilda from the Sea Breeze Collection.

And...

Have you seen the new Zodiac Collection? It's available now in some webstores and still on pre-order for others. Check our your favorite stockist to see all the cute images in this collection! So what's your zodiac sign?

Another thing is the New Magnolia Ink Magazine. It's already out too! This issue has tons of gorgeous cards and tutorials or step by step and some sneak peaks of more stamps that are coming with in the next few months! So make sure you grab a copy!

Lastly, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!

Write a Message Tilda

Happy Monday everybody!

I hope y'all are ready to face the week head.  It has been chilly and cold here in Chicago over the past few days but we are hoping to warm up by the end of the week. This polar vertex is really making it's mark here.  Brrrrr.....

I have a tag today and I used Write a Message Tilda 

from the Lost and Found Collection.  And guess what...I used Copics to color Tilda! It has been a while since I used Copics for Tilda and I felt so rusty and disoriented.  I attempted to dip a Copic marker in a cup of water after laying some color. Ha! Good thing the cup was empty!

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I am hoping to color more Tilda's using Copics again.  This was one of my New Years resolution and I hope I can really get comfortable with Copics as I am with Distress Ink Reinkers.

Anywhoo...thanks for stopping by. I really do appreciate every time to pop over, and especially when you let me know you were here.

Have a wonderful day and see you again soon!

Tilda with Spring Heart

Happy Friday everyone!
I'm back with a card from the Lost and Found Collection.

This is Tilda with Spring Heart.  Isn't she just adorable? She is part of the Stamp Club Kit and she has been a favorite of many crafters including me!
This collection is available in most webstores/stockist now.

She is colored with DI Reinkers and I used some Crackle Accents for the hearts. Around the image, I used some Shabby White Frantage

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The frame is air dry clay and the letters are also painted with Crackle Accents.

 

Here's a view where you can see Crackle Accents on the hearts and the letters. 

I love the buttons.

These are the DooHickey Dies I used.

Thank you for visiting me today! I hope to see you again soon.

Have a great weekend!
