A Joyful Christmas

Hi everyone!

Ready for a new card for the Live & Love Crafts Inspiration Blog??

I'm a little bit tired of the green and red combination for Christmas cards so I went for a non-traditional pink and white colour combo this time..

I really like how it all turned out..

I've used once again some Maja Design papers from the Vintage Summer Basics Collection..

The sheets are 1909 and 1910 to be more specific..

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

There are lots of Magnolia stamps on this card..

There's the A Joyful Christmas Text and A Joyful Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013

and the Postmark from the With Love Collection 2013..

I've also used some JoyCrafts dies..

The Winter Wishes Ice Crystals Border and the Snowflake Circle..

They are both covered with some Shabby White Frantage..

All the paper edges are distressed usind a Tim Holtz tool and then inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink..

I alway sew the borders with my sewing machine too..

The doily is there of course.. ;)

A lot going on on this side too..

You can see a bag and a tag hidden under all those flowers..

The lace is from my stash..

I've used Spellbinders Ovals and Opulent Ovals for the image..

There's some Frantage around Tilda too..

I've used lots of WOC pearls..

Did you notice the Vintage Metal Jingle Bells?? So tiny..

The flowers are from WOC and Kort & Godt..

There are so many different kinds.. I used a little bit of everything..

Some of the flowers are covered with Glossy Accents and Diamond Dust..

And have you seen all the berries, flower sprays and foam flower buds?

The metal corner is gorgeous, right?

I've used some Crispy Ribbon and the Rhinestiones lace..

The higlights are made with and Inkssentials White Opaque pen..

I've also added some Picket Fence Crackle Paint and some Gesso here and there..

This Christmas Stocking charm is so cute..

I really went crazy with the flowers and other embellies this time..

Sandy's got some of the most amazing flowers in her shop..

They are all sooooooo gorgeous..

I just couldn't stop adding them.. :)

There's some cheesecloth between and under them..

The image is coloured with Distress Inks and reinkers..

As usual I've used some Archival Ink and the 300g Langton aquarel paper..

This is the very first time I use the Liquid Applique..

Take a look at her hat..

Can you see the amazing effect?? I love it!!!

Peaceful Tilda

Hi everyone!

This is my card for this week's LLC 'Wish Upon a Star' theme..

This is Peaceful Tilda from the Magnolia Winter Wonderland Collection 2013..

These gorgeous Pion Design papers are from the Wintertime in Swedish Lapland collection..

I've used GoKreate Large Frames Frilly #1 for the card's shape..

All the paper edges are distressed with a TH tool and then inked with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink.. 

Then they are all machine sewn..

The pearls are from WOC..

I've added some cheesecloth and a doily..

I've used some Stickles for her wings and all over the angel wing Doohickey die on the left..

I knew immediately which image I wanted to use and this Magnolia vintage angel was just the perfect addition to this card.. I've covered it with some gesso..

It's the first time I use the Twinklets Diamond Dust but I'm sure you're gonna see it on lots of my projects from now on.. I just love the effect that this dust gives..

And have you seen all those wonderful Frosted Berries in Sandy's store??

I've used the white ones on this card but I just have to have them all.. ;)

There's a mini bag hidden behind the image that holds some Magnolia tags..
I've stamped them with a Christmas sentiment..

The shabby seam binding is a must..

And I really love these bark stars and all these fabulous flowers.

The border die is a Magnolia Doohickey too.. This one is called Christmas Lace..
It's really gorgeous..
And have you seen that I've covered the poinsettias in her basket with Glossy Accents??
This way they really pop out..

Here's another close up of the flowers and heart pin..
These flowers are from WOC and Kort & Godt..
I've laid some Crackle Paint and some gesso here and there..
And I've used some Shabby White Frantage on the DP's..
The lace is almost completely covered but it's the lace Reinette.. My absolute favourite..

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

I've used my new Spellbinders Gold Labels Four to cut out this adorable image..

And of course I had to add some Frantage around the image too..

If you want a complete list of products just check the list below..

I hope you enjoyed!
And don't forget to check back tomorrow.. We have a brand new challenge for you..
