Stamp and Create DT

Great news folks..

I can finally shout it out loud..

I'm a Stamp and Create Design Team member..

Yayyyyy!!!

And here's my first creation for the Stamp and Create blog:

I've used North Pole Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

I got a gorgeous Christmas card from Lacey, the owner of Stamp and Create, with this cutie on and I just had to ink mine up..

She's one of my favourites from this collection but they are all adorable.. And most important.. All available in the store..

The papers are once again from Maja Design.. 

This time from the Vintage Frost Basics Collection..

The Tilda Tag of course is from Magnolia..

I've added two mini bells on it with a bit of twine..

The small snowflake is one of the latest Doohickey's.. It's just a part of the set called So Wrapped Snowflake..

And take a look at those gorgeous headpins..

Take a look at this gorgeous White Silk Ribbon.. Amazing to the touch..

I use the Bow Easy tool to make perfect bows..

I also love this cute little snowflake charm..

The circle used to cut out the image is a Marianne Design die..

I've added a doily and lots of pearls as usual..

The Poinsettia is one of my favourite Magnolia dies..

All the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked..

They are machine sewn too..

The Slender Fir is also a Magnolia die..

I've added some Frantage on it..

The Chrysantemum is from Kort & Godt.. All the other flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

The lace is just stunning, isn't it?

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

I use both ink pads and reinkers..

List of colours:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks: Tattered Rose

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Background: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone

Jacket, hat and boots: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Gloves and tights: Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Something I really like to use on my Winter cards is the Liquid Applique..

I've added some under her feet and on the hat..

Can you see the fantastic effect it gives?

There's some Frantage around the image too.. I wanted it to look like snow..

Soooo.. Do you like it?

If the answer is yes:

You can find this and many other one of a kind Magnolia cards in my Etsy shop HERE..

A great gift for a loved one or even for yourself.. LOL!

Live & Love Crafts - Maja Design Vintage Frost Basics

It's Sunday and it's my turn to show a LLC card made with Maja Design Vintage Frost Basics papers..

You've seen already through the week how versatile these papers are and I wanted to prove that with another creation that has nothing to do with winter or frost..

A new Magnolia collection (Lost & Found 2014) has been released recently and I adore this cute little Tilda with Spring Heart..
The flower background is from the same Stamp Club kit but I don't know the name of the stamp yet..
I'll add that when I figure it out..
Then there's the Log from the Halloween & Autumn Collection 2008.. I use this one a lot..
And let's not forget the Especially For You sentiment from the Chasing Butterflies Collection 2009..
I keep telling myself that I should try something different.. Something clean and simple (that's scary LOL!)..
And then I grab a flower.. And then another one.. And another one..
How could I not.. These WOC flowers are all so gorgeous.. 

I add cheesecloth under and in between the flowers.. I really like the look of it..

The beaded berries are one of my fave embellies..
I've used one of my GoKreate dies for the card's shape..

There's something pretty new here..

The Crystal Pin.. Can you find it??

It's gorgeous even if it doesn't show here.. I swear..
The Swirl is a Magnolia Doohickey die and so is the Ticket..
They are both covered with some Frantage..

There's one of the doilies I love so much under there too..

I've used my Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles for the image..

All the paper edges are distressed with a TH tool, then inked and machine sewn..

There's just one more thing I have to point out..

Go check out the new laces in the shop..

I've used only two of them for this card but they are all amazing..
Another thing I couldn't live without are pearls..

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..

Here's the list of colours used for this one:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

Cheeks: Tattered Rose

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Log: Walnut Stain

Dress and shoes: Victorian Velvet, Pumice Stone

Socks: Pumice Stone

Background: Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Peeled Paint

Heart Flowers: Victorian Velvet

Big Heart: Aged Mahogany

Grass under log: Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

I've used tons of other mediums to embellish this card..

 Liquid Pearls around the image, Stickles on the little hearts, Rocky Candy Crackle Paint on the big heart, Glossy Accents, Picket Fence Crackle Paint and Gesso here and there..

Of course you can find the complete list of products at the end of this post in case I forgot something..

In case you missed MY BIG 30 BLOG CANDY you can find it on my Magnolia blog HERE..

Thanks for stopping by..

Live & Love Crafts DT - Anything Goes

Hi everyone!

I'm here with my Anything Goes creation for the LLC Inspiration & Challenge Blog..

It's been a while since I used one of my favourite papers from the Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics Collection.. This was just the perfect occasion..

The card's shape was made using a GoKreate die..

I tried to colour the image so it would match the papers perfectly..

Did I succeed? I'm pretty satisfied..

You can see that I've used once again a Bark Heart, some cheesecloth, all those gorgeous WOC and Kort & Godt flowers that Sandy stocks, some Frosted Berries..
The View master is a Magnolia die..
I've added some Frantage on top of it..

.. a charm, lots of pearls, some Shabby Seam Binding..

There's the So Wrapped Lovely Magnolia Doohickey die..

And have you seen the most amazing pin ever?? Love it to bits!!

Here's another shot of the flowers..

I've used a doily to add some more texture..

All the paper edges are distressed and then machine sewn..

I've added some Gesso and Crackle Paint on all the flowers and on some other parts of the card..

Here you can see the absolutely amazing Love Heart Clip , some mini wooden hearts covered with Crackle Paint, the brand new lace ''Coco'' (a must have - just added to the shop), some Magnolia Vintage Berries and some Chunky white Frantage on the pink papers..

This is Tilda With Large Balloon from the Lost & Found Collection 2014..

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

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around her..

And some Stickles on parts of the image..

The image's cut out with a Spellbinders Opulent Ovals die..

I really hope you enjoyed..
Please let me know what you think..

And be sure to come back tomorrow for some more inspiration..

Hugs, Tina

Of course there's some cheesecloth there too..

And all kinds of flowers.. 

But there's also this Maya Road Pearl Star Flower I can't take my eyes off..

Here are some more flowers and you can see that I've used Frantage all around the place..

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

Not sure you can see the Stickles on her shoes and the bottle but there's another pic where you should get a better idea..

Hello there!

I'm here with a new creation for the LLC Inspirational blog..
This week we have the theme Christmas song..

I love this time of the year and one of my favourite songs is this one: Bing Crosby - White Christmas..
My card is pink but there's a lot of  'snow' on it..

I had to use my brand new Maja Design Vintage Frost Basics papers cos' they are just amazing..
The image is coloured with Distress Inks and reinkers and the shade around it is made with those too..
I really love the effect of Frantage on a coloured base and I just had to use the Liquid Applique again..
It looks like real snow..

 I've used my new Spellbinders Marvelous Squares to cut out the image..
The two tags on the left are made with a Magnolia Doohickey die called Tilda Tag..
There's some Vintage Seam Binding on them and I've used Chunky White Frantage on one and Shabby White Frantage on the other..

You can find all these gorgeous WOC and Kort & Godt flowers in the LLC store and I suggest you visit the store asap because there are the new Pion papers in stock and some gorgeous lace I cannot wait to put my hands on.. :)
The heart doily is so sweet, isn't it?

And here are some more flowers, berries and the super cute pine cone..

I've added some pearls and all the paper edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

All the edges are also machine sewn..

I've added the rhinestones lace and the ''Madame de Pompadour'' lace.. Love them both!!
I've added some Frantage on the papers and some Gesso and Crackle Paint too..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper..
