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..

Tea Time

Hi everyone!

This is going to be a strange post..

I'm mixing all kinds of challenges and things in this post..

I haven't been feeling very well lately and I had to come up with something..

Here's my newest creation..

I love the new Little London Collection 2013 and I couldn't wait any longer to colour my Afternoon Tea Tilda.. She's so gorgeous.. And the Afternoon Tea Bench as well..

The DP's are of course from Maja Design.. This is a sheet from the Autumn Basics Collection and it's so gorgeous on both sides that I decided to go with just this one..

Of course there's some vintage seam binding on the tags.. Those are Magnolia Doohickey's..

And there's a doily too..

I've added some Shabby White Frantage around the image and on the tags..

There's a piece of corrugated cardboard under the image and I covered it with Crackle Paint..

The pearls are a must have and I'm falling in love with all those gorgeous pins, berries and other stuff you can find in Sandy's store..

You cand find the lace and the gingham ribbon there too..

And of course all those flowers and the foam flower buds are just amazing, don't you think?

The frame is made out of FIMO Air with a mould I got on Etsy..

Some more gorgeous flowers on the right..

And let's not forget that awesome charm.. It says 'tea time'.. Love it!

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

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

This is the first time I colour a whole image with only Walnut Stain..

Except for the flower of course.. I've used Aged Mahogany for that one..

The flourishes are from Stempelglede and the postmark is from Magnolia..

I still haven't told you that this card is for the Midweek Magnolias midway reminder..

The theme is song bird and I've chosen a very nice song - Doris Day - Tea For Two..

The other challenge is the Marvelous Magnolia challenge..

We have a Halloween theme this week..

What do you think? I thought it would be nice not to make the usual spooky card.. LOL!

Well..

I really hope you can join both challenges cos' you don't want to miss the chance to win some great prizes..

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Dutch Magnolia Lovers - Challenge #66

2. You Me and Magnolia - Challenge #20 - Anything Goes

3. Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia - Challenge #80 - Dots or Stripes

You can find the links to most of the products used for this card at the end of the post..

Deep Ocean Challenge #55 - On The Beach

Hello there!

I'm here to show you my DT card for the Deep Ocean Challenge Blog..

This fortnight's theme is On The Beach..

It would be so nice to have the new Magnolia Stamp Club kit but since I don't have it I had to use some older stamps..

Tilda With Anchor from the Summer Memories Collection 2012 and the Pier Background from the Lazy Summer Day's Collection 2009..

All the designer papers are from Maja Design..

The textured ones are from Papermania.. There's some kraft paper too..

You can see that I've used the Tilda Ticket Doohickey..

I've added some cheesecloth under there and also a piece of corrugated cardboard that I've painted with Crackle Paint..

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts..

The tag is a Doohickey too..
I've used some Stickles to brighten up the bow..

The dots around the image are made with Liquid Pearls and I've used that for the buttons on her pants too..

I love how those turned out..

The paper edges are as usual distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and then machine sewn..

I found the 'fishnet' in a drawer and I'm really happy I added it..

The pearls are also from Wild Orchid Crafts..

The stamps I used around the image are from Kort & Godt and Magnolia..

I love this anchor charm.. It's just perfect for this card, don't you think?

The lace is from my stash..

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

Weathered Wood

Pumice Stone

Antique Linen

Walnut Stain

I just had to use a doily and some cheesecloth again..

There's a tag hidden saying Happy Birthday..
That's a Doohickey too.. I think that's the Bloomy Tag..

I made this card using a fantastic sketch from and old MDUC challenge.. 

I think it's Lori's sketch.. I love it!!
