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

Stamp and Create - Tilda With Hawaii Flower

Hi everyone!

After a long, long time I'm back with a creation for the Stamp and Create blog..

I spent almost two entire days in bed and with the gorgeous weather outside and all my projects waiting for me on the desk I felt like s**t..

Anyway.. I have something a little bit different today..

It's a notebook or a diary.. Whatever you want it to be..

And it can be yours.. It's listed in my Etsy shop HERE..

The covers are kraft.. I have no idea why they have this yellowish tone in the pics..

The designer papers are from Maja Design.. These are one of my all time favourites..

The stamp is of course from Magnolia..

This is Tilda With Hawaii Flower from the Butterfly Dreams Collection 2011..

There are lots and lots of pearls all over the place..

But there are also tons of flowers..

I've added one of the Prima Junkyard Findings Vintage Trinkets here..

The Antique Lace is a Magnolia Doohickey..

Here's one of the Melissa Frances Garnish Resin Embellishments..

I've covered it with white acrylic paint and gesso to make it as similar as possible to the butterfly..

I've used gesso on the papers too..

And here you can also see the gorgeous doily..

Here's the wonderful butterfly made out of Fimo.. I've used a Martha Stewart mold for that..

I've also added some flowers on top of it..

I loooove this lace and I love the Vintage Box Lacing Coffee Magnolia die..

Here are some more gorgeous flowers.. 

Some from Wild Orchid Crafts, some from Kort & Godt and even some from I Am Roses..

They are all covered with a bit of gesso..

And there's some cheesecloth under them too..

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

I use both the ink pads and reinkers..

The postmarks around the image are from Magnolia and Kort & Godt..

I've added some Stickles on the flower, butterflies and parts of her dress..

And there's the Chunky White Frantage all around her too..

Well.. I hope you enjoyed this creation..

Let me know what you think..

Hugs, Tina

Stamp and Create Challenge - Love Is In The Air

Are you ready?

It's time for a new challenge over at Stamp and Create..

This month's theme is Love Is In The Air..

The image I used is called Tilda With Many Hearts from the You Are So Special Collection 2011..

It's one of the first Magnolia stamps I bought and it was the very first Tilda I ever coloured..

Wanna see my first Magnolia card?? Click HERE..

It's been almost three years since then and I've gone a long way, don't you think? ;)

I've used one of my GoKreate dies for this card's shape..

The papers are from Maja Design - Vintage Summer and Vintage Spring Basics..

There's the Angel Wing Doohickey under all those flowers covered with Frantage..

The heart pin is so cute, right?

That small corner is made with some Fimo Air and a homemade mold..

Here's another Magnolia die.. The Tilda Tag.. One of my favourites..

Another thing I can't stop adding to my projects is the doily..

I love my Vintage Seam Binding too..

I've used one of the Marianne Design dies under the image but there are only a few loops peeking out.. All the rest is covered.. 

I've used all kinds of flowers and flower sprays for this card.. They are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I Am Roses and some from a candy I won some time ago..

I've applied some gesso all over them and on other parts of the card..

There are also lots of pearls..

I've used Frantage all around the image too..

All the paper edges are distressed and machine sewn..

The sentiment is also from Magnolia.. From the Raising The Ceiling And Right Through My Heart Collection 2010.. It's glued on a small wooden spool.. So cute..

The Love You vintage trinket from Prima is one of the most wonderful details if you ask me..

And there's something else I wanna talk you about..

You all know how much I love lace, right?

Well I've discovered an amazing Etsy store called Suhafuha filled with gorgeous laces, trims, shabby flowers etc. The lace I've used for this card comes from that shop..

Stamp and Create - For You Tilda

Good evening everyone!

It's Monday and time for me to show you a new creation for the Stamp and Create blog..

Not so long ago I made a little gift bag.. Remember??

I've decided to make another one..

 

The stamp is from the latest Magnolia Lost and Found Collection 2014 and is called For You Tilda..
The papers are from Maja Design.. Vintage Spring Basics..

The Heart Tag is a Magnolia Doohickey and so is the Romantic Lace border die..

There's a little bit of Frantage on the tag and I've made the Vintage Seam Binding myself..

The paper edges are distressed using a Tim Holtz tool and then inked.. They are also machine sewn..

The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart mold and some Fimo Air..

They are painted with Gesso..

I've applied some gesso and Crackle Paint here and there on the bag..

There are lots of pearls all over the place..

Here are my Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses flowers..

I've added a little bit of cheesecloth under them and..

..they all have some Gesso on..

Have you seen this gorgeous lace and the Shabby Rose Organza Trim..

Fantastic, right?

I've used one of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight dies to cut out the image..

I stamped my Tilda with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured her with Distress Inks.. I've used both the ink pads and reinkers..

When I was done colouring I added some Chunky White Frantage around the image..

Then I added some Liquid Pearls between the flowers, I've drawn some white dots in the flower centres, then I covered all the flowers with some Star Dust Stickles.. I've also used some Frosted Lace stickles on her dress..

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

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose

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..
