Stamp and Create Challenge - Spring Flowers

Hello there!

I know I'm late with this but you know what they say..

Better late than never..

Here's my take at the Spring Flowers theme for this month's challenge at Stamp and Create..

I've made a super cute mini gift bag..

I've used one of the stamps from the Magnolia Zodiac Collection 2014..

Yes.. This is Ox (Taurus) Tilda.. So sweet..

I'm sure you know at least one person who is a Taurus.. And it's their birthday soon..

Won't that make just the perfect gift?

You can purchase this mini gift bag in my Etsy store HERE..

The papers are from Maja Design..

I've used one of the Timeless Rectangles to cut out the image..

And I've used the same die to make the upper border..

Take a look at this gorgeous bow..

It was made using one of the newest Magnolia Doohickey dies..

It's called Groom Bow..

The pearls and doily are from my stash..

Here's another Magnolia die..

This is the Simple Tag..

I have to admit that I've had this one for ages but it's the very first time I use it..

What was I waiting for??

I've added some Vintage Seam Binding and a charm to it..

The pearls in the flower center are made with Liquid Pearls..

Here are some of the flowers and berries I've used ..

And take a look at the gorgeous rose trim.. I just love it!

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

..and I've added some Gesso all over the bag..

Here are some more flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima and Kort & Godt..

There's also a very simple pin there..

I've used two kinds of lace but I'm afraid you won't be able to see them perfectly because of all the other embellies that are covering them.. LOL!

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

The dots around the image are made with Liquid Pearls..

Well.. That's it for today..

Hope you enjoyed..

Hugs, Tina

Live & Love Crafts - Shabby Chic

Hi everyone!

As you know this week is all about Shabby Chic at Live & Love Crafts..

And here's my Shabby Chic card with sweet Leo Tilda..

I've decided to use some Pion Design papers this time..

These are all from the Flower Frames Collection..

The Roseus sheet is the one with the most beautiful pattern if you ask me..

The tag was made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Tilda Tag..

The gorgeous ornate corner is a resin piece from the Prima Shabby Chic Treasures..

And of course I just had to use some Shabby Seam Binding too..

These are just some of the flowers on this card..

 Take a look at this beautiful heart shaped doily.. Isn't it fantastic?

There's a lot of Crackle Paint and Gesso all over the place..

And of course there are tons of pearls too..
The key charm is from my stash..

I've also used the new Magnolia Doohickey Bride Bow..

The image was cut out with a Spellbinders Opulent Oval..

The doily on this pic is from my stash..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

 Here are some more gorgeous flowers that I've used.. They are all WOC flowers except for the pink Poppy, the wonderful Kort & Godt Chrysantemum and the rolled rose I made myself..

There are also some Flower Sprays and Frosted Berries here..

The ''Samsara'' Lace is one of my all time favourites..

Leo Tilda is a stamp from the Magnolia Zodiac Collection 2014..

She's stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

The shadow around the image is made with Distress Inks too..

I've added some Chunky White Frantage on top of it..

This card is already for sale in my Etsy shop HERE..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Divas by Design - Flower Power

2. Marvelous Magnolia - Challenge #64 - Let's See a Doillie

3. Totally Tilda Challenge #92 - No Square Cards

Midweek Magnolias and Creative Inspirations

Hi there!

I had some trouble with my computer but I'm finally able to show you a new creation..

Since I'm pretty busy these days (a lot of work unfortunately and little time to play) I've decided to combine two challenges..

The first one is my beloved Midweek Magnolias Challenge where the theme this fortnight is Flourishes..

And I've been invited to contribute as a Guest DT at Creative Inspirations..

(I'll be guest designing for 4 weeks yayyy...)

The challenge is Anything Goes + Option Of A Sketch..

I'm trying to colour all of my new stamps because they are just incredible..

Today I'm presenting you a gift bag with Sagittarius Tilda from the Zodiac Collection 2014..

The sentiment is also from Magnolia.. From the Raising The Ceiling & Right Through My Heart Collection 2010..

The papers are from Maja Design..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

I've used two Magnolia Doohickey's..

The first one is this My Love Heart die on the left..

The secon one is the Swirl die on the right..

I love them both..

There's also a small doily hidden under there..

I've added some pearls here and there and some Frantage around the image..

Another thing I love are all the gorgeous flowers I've used for this bag..

They are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses..

They are all covered with some Gesso..

And there's even a cute little pin..

Take a look at this wonderful lace..

If you were looking for some amazing trims HERE's the link to an amazing place..

Suhafuha is the best!

Please let the owner know that I sent you when you place your order (cos' I know you will)..

The bark heart with some cheesecloth and that little flower on top is a gorgeous detail too, right? 

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

I use both the ink pads and the reinkers..

Live & Love Crafts - Carnival

Another week is over and it's time to show you another carnival creation for the Live & Love Crafts blog..

I always enjoyed looking at all those wagons at the local parade when I was a kid and I will always remember a sea themed one with the most beautiful mermaid I've ever seen..

I thought immediately about that when I saw this new Magnolia stamp..

This is Pisces Tilda from the newest Magnolia Zodiac Collection..
The papers are from Maja Design - Vintage Frost Basics..
They are so versatile you can use them for anything really..
I've used one of my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

The paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

I've added once again a gorgeous pin and lots of pearls..
There's some gesso all over the place..
I've applied some Stickles on her tail, a bit of Crackle paint on the flower and Liquid Pearls all around the image..

I'm sure you all know how much I love WOC flowers.. I use them on every single project..

And here you can see some Kort og Godt Hortensias too..

I've also added some Flower Sprays and a bit of cheesecloth under the arrangements..

Take a look at the gorgeous lace ''Coco'', the soft pink ribbon and the Shabby Seam Binding..

The pearl is one of the Idea-ology Baubles.. A fantastic detail, right?

As usual you can find all the products listed at the end of this post..
Feel free to ask if there's anything you'd like to know..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
1. Marvelous Magnolia - Challenge #62 - Anything Goes
2. Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia - Challenge #89 - Pretty in Pink

Thanks for stopping by..

Hugs, Tina
