Cherry Tilda

Hello Maggie Lovers,

It is time for me to show you my card for the summer colors... I thought pink would go for summer colors..

So here is my card:

This time I picked Cherry Tilda from Magnolia Stamps. I colored my image using copic markers.

I cut plain pink cardstock with oval beaded nestie and the white one with classic oval nestie.

and I used my Martha Stewart punch on the white rectangule. 

Cindy has gorgeous flowers for sale.. check it out here. Pink half adhesive pearls are from KC.

I hope you liked my card and come on over to play with us.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs & Kisses,

Vivi

Summer Colors!!!

I also used Tilda with Ice cream cone for my card, just like Meg did! lol I started my base with the Scor-Pal and used my Grand Calibur to cut out the Spellbinders dies. I then used my cricut for the tree and the tag. I colored my image with prismacolor pencils and finished it all off with some stitching. I hope you all join in and link up your summer color card too! Thanks for stopping by!

Rocking Tilda's the World

I tried my hand at a new design for me - a center step card.  I hate tricky cuts, I don't do math, they never fold right, whine, whine, whine.  You are going to find this really funny, but I just discovered my Fiskars cutter works for these kinds of cards.  Did ya'll know there is a ruler on the cutter slide, too?  You can position your paper, drop your blade at the right number, slide to the next right number and you're all done.  All you need is a little focus.  So, here is my very first center step card.  And, if you are my age, the hula hoop is an iconic summer toy.  In my prime, I could hula hoop with the very best of them - jump rope, too - even double dutch.  Those days are long gone but I'm so pleased to see the hula hoop make a come back. 

I never put words inside cards I plan to sell, only the cards I plan to send to people.  For more information, please see my blog:  bluebirdflats@yahoo.com.

What are Summer Flowers?

I think any flower is a summer flower, don’t you? Well, to be true to the challenge I chose a rose.

In an attempt to get a little ahead I made this card a couple of weeks ago. Not good because I didn’t write things down, if I did I can’t find them so let’s see how good I can do by using my pics to list all of the ingredients:

• SSD Anglaise Circle Spellbinders compatible Dies
• Ribbon
• Paper Doily
• JustRite Stamper sentiment & flower
• Copics
• Core’dinations cardstock 
• Magnolia Doohickey tag
• Scor-pal
• Spellbinders Grand Calibur
• Memento Tuxedo Black
• Copic X-press 
• Watercan Tilda

Phew …. that’s a lot!!

Here is a close up of Tilda

Summer Flowers......Gift Bag

Today is my day, Meg,  to post for the Summer Flower Challenge!  I have decided to make a gift bag with flowers!  I have decided to go through my supplies and start using up some of the things that I have and create new and different things.  I came across a sheet of vellum and decided to make it into a gift bag.  I cut the piece out and then embellished it with rub ons, making them stand out by using a stylus from the McGill Tool Kit and the McGill Molding Mat.   I used a flower to top it off!

One of my favorite images is Tilda with Hawaiian Flower from the Butterfly Dreams Collection.  I colored her with copic makers and used some stickles to add some bling.  The butterfly I used on the tag (a Doohickey Cutting Die) was from a previous collection from Magnolia.  

I decorated the back of the bag as well.  So all that is left to do is tuck a little gift inside and some tissue paper.  So, what would you place inside this gift bag?  

Magnolia Flower Challenge

Good morning Magnolia Lovers! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! 

I was ...busy, busy, BUSY! 

My card for the Flower Challenge uses the darling Tilda with Hawaiian Flower and the Magnolia Open Gate.

Thanks so very much for visiting today! :) 

Supplies used:

Tilda with Hawaiian Flower

Magnolia Open Gate

Memento Ink Pad Tuxedo Black

Copic Markers

 

Cryogen Card Stock

Summer Flowers and my Cricut

I have a Cricut Expression that I don't use nearly enough.  I guess I'm a stamper at heart although I do dabble in other crafts.  I recently pulled out a couple of cartridges to see if I could combine them with my stamping.  This Damask Decor cartridge makes some pretty nice backgrounds.  I cut a 5.5" x 5.5" card and then cut this particular background at 5" x 5".  I have lots of 12" x 12" paper pads with patterns too big to use on cards.  I find they do work well this way.  I actually pulled out my Copic color wheel to find a color that worked well with this particular shade of green.  All in all, I'm pleased with it, I plan to use this cartridge for more cards in the future and I realize that tulips are not technically a 'summer flower' but when you bury them as deep as I did, they have a tendency to bloom late.  Plus the paper has some pretty nice flowers on it.

Paper: DCWV The Mariposa Stack; Stamps: Magnolia Tilda with Tulip, GinaK; Provocraft Expression; Provocraft Cartridge Damask Décor; Stickles Star Dust; Copics: [Skin E00, E11, R20][Hair E09, E19, E07][Clothes V09, V04, V01, V06][Tulip YG09, Y11, Y35][Shoes E41, E42, E43][Tag E41, E43]

Thinking of You Summer Flowers Challenge Card!!

Welcome to our Summer Flowers Challenge!!  I used Tilda with Flowing Hair on my card today.  She is holding a basket of flowers so I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  I colored her with prismacolor pencils and used my Scor-Pal to start the base of my card.  I used my Grand Calibur to cut out the lace die and the tree, flowers, grass, and tag are all cut using my cricut.  I added some stitching, stick pins, stick on pearls, and a bow and my card was complete.  Hope you link up your summer flowers Magnolia project  and play along!!

Buttons......and Ladybugs!

Today is my day, Meg, to post a card for the Button Challenge.  Anyone who knows me knows that I am a ladybug fanatic!  So, when I was looking through my buttons to see what I wanted to use to make my card, I found these adorable ladybug buttons.  My card then became centered around these two ladybug buttons, so here is the result!

I used the Magnolia stamp Kneeling Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow '11 collection.  I have to buy each and every stamp that I see that has a ladybug in it.  On the inside left of the card, I used a Magnolia ladybug stamp as well.

Here is a picture of the inside right of the card.

If you are interested in learning how I conserved paper when making this card, you can see my tutorial on that over at the Stamping Scrapping Design Team blog.

Here is a list of supplies that I used on this card:

• Cryogen White cardstock
• Core'dinations Gemstone cardstock
• Magnolia DSP
• Buttons from my stash
• Ribbon from my stash
• Copic markers
• Floss for tie in button
• Extra fine white paint marker
• Ranger Glossy Accents on the ladybugs
• Memento Black stamp pad
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Here is a closeup of Kneeling Tilda so you can see the image and the glossy accents used on the ladybug.  

I hope I have inspired you to make a card of your own for the challenge!  We would love to see you here!
