Love is in the air

Hiya!!

Are you all ready for Valentine's day? I am not! lol! We still need to get Abbi's Valentin's for school and find a little treat to go with them. I also have to pick up a little something for her and her sister. Yikes! I had better get my rear going huh?

I do however, have all my Valentine cards made ;o) whew!

This is the last one I needed to make. I used the stamp Tilda Holding Heart. I colored Tilda with copics, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2/R20, R21, R24, R35/E000, E00, E93/E71, E74, E77. I added stickles to the heart she holding and her hair bows. I used my clear glitter pen and niji brush to watercolor the sparkles on her socks and shirt.

The sentiment is from Gina K's Fanciful Tags stamp set and is punched out with SU's oval punch and matted on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. I used Spellbinders Circles and Lacey Circles along with a pleated background to set the sentiment on.

I finished off the card with a paper doily, ribbon, prima and paper flowers and pearls.

The pattern papers are Basic Grey's Scarlet Letter and Urban Couture and the cardstock is Gina K.

I am submitting this card for the following challenges -

Magnolia-Licious - Pink, Red & Black

7 Kids College Fund - Hearts

Paper Pretties - Valentine's Day Inspiration

I am off to finish my shopping for Valentine's Day. Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you so much for stopping by!!

Oldies but Goodies

Good morning and welcome to the Designing Divas Oldies but Goodies blog hop!!


What is an Oldies but Goodies blog hop? It is a hop where all the designing Divas create a project to share with you using papers, stamps, embellishments and/or ribbons from their stash that is at least 6 months old. Sound like fun? !


If you came from Barbara's blog you are right on track, if not, please go to Sue's blog to start at the beginning. I don't want you to miss any of the awesome projects the gals have created to share with you!Most everything on my card is 6 months or older. The only thing that is not is the lace and pearls. The lace is from Hobby Lobby and the pearls are from Zva Creative

The stamp is an adorable Tilda image by Magnolia called Loves Me Tilda. I colored her with copics - YR00, YR01, YR02, E29, E27 - flower/G21, G24, G40 - overall & shoes/YG65, YG68 - shirt, socks & laces/E27, E25, E33, E31, E41 - hair/E000, E00, E93 - skin.

The papers are Gina K's Pure Luxury and the pattern paper is Basic Grey's Urban Prairie and Sugar Rush.

The felt flowers are SU and the paper roses are from Wild Orchid.

The frame Tilda is sitting on was made using Spellbinders Blossoms and circle dies. After embossing them, I sprayed them with Smooch to add the shimmer.


I am going to submit this card for the Magnolia-licious challenge which is a Green and Orange challenge. You can read all about the details here.

Good morning!

Today I thought I would give you a break from my countdown challenge card and share a card I made that was inspired by the Magnolia-Licious Challenge.
The challenge was to make an almost entirely white card. This Tilda is called Tilda with Curls #322 .
Tilda is colored with copics, R00, R01, R02, R05 - dress/R01, R02 - socks/R000 - wings/E44, E47, E49 - shoes/R02, R05, RG23, RG25 - flowers/E42, E43, E44, Y21 - hair/E000, E00, E93 - skin. The last thing I colored were her shoes. I think I picked to dark of a color but I wasn't about to start over so pretend her shoes are a lighter color - k? lol!
I added diamond stickle to her wings and dress and used a clear glitter pen on the flowers.
The primas and leaves were given a coat of Smooch. I have had my smooch for a few months and this is the first time I have used it - bad I know! I will be using it a lot more though because I love it!
I used 4 different embossing folders on the card, Cuttlebugs - Kassie's Brocade/Sizzix - Final Press, Vintage Wallpaper, Damask.
The papers are SU and Copic X-press It. The lace I picked up at a local craft store and love how the sequins and beads match the colors of Tilda's dress.

Did you know that Copic is coming out with 12 new colors the end of March? I didn't until yesterday when I checking out the icopic blog... I loved the new colors so of course I have to have them and was able to pre-order them from icopic as a set.

Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Tickled pink!

Happy Monday crafters!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was busy but fun! Saturday, I went to the Rubber Stamping and Scrapbooking show in Madison with a few friends. We had a great time! I was a bit disappointed because there was not as many vendors as there has been in the past but I did find a few new goodies! One good thing about less vendors is I did not spend as much money as I have the previous years!

As many of you know I love my Magnolia stamps and when I saw that Diana from Magnolia-Licious created a challenge blog I knew it was time to give these cuties some attention! Their first challenge is to use the colors pink and yellow and you can read all about it here.

Stamps: Magnolia

Papers: Gina K, Basic Grey, Copic X-press It

Ink: Memento, Copics

Other: Ribbon, Lace, Prima's, Paper Roses,

Spellbinders - Labels 13, Paper Doily

I used the Tilda with Pig stamp which I could not find in the Magnolia-licious store right now but I am sure Diana will have it back in stock real soon. I colored this sweetie with copics, R00, R01, R02, R11, R20, R21, R30, R32/ Y17, Y21, Y23, Y32, Y35/E000, E00, E27, E31, E41/W1.
The papers are Gina K and the patter papers are Basic Grey's Porcelain.
I tucked a paper doily behind Tilda and tucked the sentiment beside that which I cut out using Labels 13.

I finished off the card with paper roses, primas, and lace.

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit and I hope you stop back soon!!
