Beautiful Mermaid Tilda

Good Day Everyone and Happy Friday!!!

I come to you today with an inspiration creation for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog where the challenge this month is to use Lace or Bling on your project.  The winner of the challenge will receive a $20.00 credit to use in the Magnolia-licious Stamps, Dies and So Much More store.  So, without further ado...

This is Pisces Tilda and I just LOVE her!  She is from the 2014 Zodiac collection by Magnolia.  Isn't she pretty?  I've colored her with Copic markers this time around but plan to do another card with her in Distress Inks very soon.

I really wanted this card to be colorful for my niece Kendall.  Everything else is colored in Distress Inks, including the background, all of the dies and the Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon.

You Are The Blueberry To My Pancake

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to my Craft Shed, where I do more procrastinating than actual crafting.  LOL!  Oh, and happy Wednesday to you.

Today I am your host for the Magnolia-licious Stamps, Dies and So Much More Store and also for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.

Today I bring you this card using the super sweet Breakfast At Tilda's stamp collection by Magnolia Sweden, exclusively made for Magnolia-licious.  Isn't she a beauty?  I've colored her up with Copic markers and accented with Distress Inks, white Gelly Roll pen, and Glossy Accents on the Maple Syrup bottle.

All of my flowers are hand made.  The little blue flowers are made using Magnolia DooHickey's Dies from the Box #9 and the white leaf stems are Box #12.  For the pink flowers I used the Spellbinders Vintage Rose dies, the green leaves are made with the Magnolia Rose Leaf die from the 2011 You're So Special collection and the blue gingham tags are cut with the Tilda Tag die from the 2011 Sweet Christmas Dreams.  Oh, and I cannot forget the Magnolia Silver Ware dies from the 2013 With Love collection.

I hand dyed the Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon with Aged Mahogany to match the pink flowers which were also colored with Distress Inks.

Copic Markers - Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R01, R20, R22  Hair: YR21, E34, E53, E57  Pink: RV32, R83, R85, R89  Blue: BV17, BV20, BV23, BV29  Pancakes & Syrup: Y11, YR23, YR24, YR27  Counter & Stool: C00, C1, C3, E31, E35, E37  Shoes: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9  Leaves: YG91, YG95

Hello Everyone!  Today is my day to shine at the TOMIC challenge blog as Guest Designer.  I am so very excited to have been chosen!  I am also excited to tell you about the brand new challenge going on over at Magnolia-licious where the theme for this month is birthstone so as you can see, I've chosen Topaz.  Come join us for a chance to win $20 to use at Magnolia-licious Stamps, Dies and So Much More store.

I made this for my mom for Mother's Day.  She has a very lovely yard with the most beautiful flower gardens.  She is one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known and I hate that we live so far apart right now, but mom, if you see this, I hope you know how very much I Love and Miss You. ♥

This BEE-You-tiful little lady is from the 2019 Magnolia Day Bee-You collection.  I have colored her with Copic markers, added Star Dust Stickles to her wings and white Jelly pen here and there for accent.  I have stamped various accent stamps around her, including the Honeycomb from the same collection and Sparkle Hearts from 2014 Waiting For Christmas.

The Sunflowers are made of Foamiran, are die cut with DooHickey's Box volume 6 (Harvest) and colored with chalks that I've had for almost 20 years now.  Right about when I first started scrapbooking...  :/  Oh, and the leaves were cut with DooHickey's Rose Leaf from 2011 You Are So Special.

The tags are Tilda Tags 2011 Sweet Christmas Dreams (yes, I really do have other tag dies, I swear) and the sweet little bee in the upper-left corner is from DooHickey's Box volume 10 (buzz buzz).

Copic Markers - Skin: E000, E00, E4, E11, E21, R01, R20, R22  Hair: YR21, E35, E53, E57  Outfit: Y0000, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y28, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, B32

Distress Ink: Walnut Stain

Have A BEE-YOU-tiful Day!!!

Happy Birthday My Friend!

Good Morning Everyone, Happy 1^st Day of May!

I made this for my very good friend from grammar school, which means we’ve known each other a VERY long time.  LOL!  We live about 1800 miles apart but we still write and exchange cards for birthdays and Christmas.  We never call which is old fashioned, I know, but in a way it keeps us closer.

I kept the design simple to show off the gorgeous Magnolia stamp.  This cutie-patootie is Hooray Tilda from the 2019 Hugs & Kisses collection.  

I just love how she’s like, BAM!  HERE I AM!!!  LET’S CELEBRATE!  

She is colored with Copic markers and edges are inked with Distress Inks.  The sweet balloon paper is from Silouhette.

The image and balloon paper are cut with the Rounded Frames & Tags DooHickeys dies from the 2014 Pink collection.  The doilies peeking from behind are DooHickeys' Lace Coaster from the 2013 Once Upon a Time collection.

Tilda is surrounded by some postage cancellation stamps as well as the smaller of the Waiting for Christmas 2014 – Sparkle Hearts.  Sequins add to the festiveness (is that a word?) and that beautiful pink Polish lace, I think, adds so much sweetness to the whole design.

Copic Markers - Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E31, E34, R01, R20, R22  Hair: YR21, E35, E53, E57  Dress & Tights: BG0000, BG11, BG15, BG49  Shoes: E42, E44  

Distress Inks - Walnut Stain

Spring Has Sprung

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Thursday!

Are you looking forward to the weekend as much as I am?

I've made this little something with one of my new stamps from Magnolia Day.  I have no idea what she is called since she came as a bonus.  Isn't she a cutie?  The little bunny is so adorable!  I've colored them with Copic markers and added some sparkle with Wink of Stella on the apron, the boot heart and the bunny's tail.

The beautiful papers used for this card are from Maja..  The blue is from the Vintage Romance collection and the stripe is from Vintage Spring collection.  This fun little basket is from the Magnolia DooHickey Club Magazine vol 2, the larger flowers are from vol 4, and the little flowers are from vol 5. 

 The Tilda Tag and Rose Leaf dies are ones I use in almost every one of my cards.  I can't help it, I love them.

I've added lots of pearls all around the card and, how could I not add some gorgeous lace?  The doily I cut using a Silhouette file and Vintage Seam Binding are from my stash.  I just had to add a ladybug too.  :D

Copic Markers - Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E31, R20, R22, R01  Hair: E21, E18, E39, E99, YR27  Apron: W0, W1, W3  Shirt: G40, YG91, YG93  Pants: B91, B93, B95  Bunny: E41, E42, E43, R20  Basket & Flowers: RV91, RV93, R83, E29 E70, E74, E79  Background: B60

Breakfast At Tilda's - Double Slider Card

Good Morning My Dear Crafting Friends!

Welcome to my blog on this 3rd day of the release of Breakfast At Tilda's.  This exclusive stamp was created by Magnolia-licious owner Shawn Mills in collaboration with Pauline of Magnolia Sweden.  This stamp can ONLY be purchased here at the Magnolia-licious Stamps, Dies and So Much More Store. 

Shawn wanted this stamp to represent his home country of Canada, where pancakes and maple syrup are served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  This exclusive set comes as a set of four.

And here she is...  Isn't she gorgeous?  Tilda is eating a delicious stack of blueberry pancakes with maple syrup on this glorious sunny day.

Here it is opened up as a double slider card.  On the right side are the three other stamps that come with this lovely set, the "You Are The Blueberry To My Pancake" sentiment and two delicious blueberries.  On the left side I have used the Kitchen from the 2009 A Little Yummy collection.  I took away the top of the hutch and added the mixing bowls.

The lovely patterned papers are from Maja Design's, Vintage Romance collection.  I used Foamiran for the flowers, cut with Magnolia's Rose Leaf die and the flower from My DooHickey Box Club 5 set (Celebration).   The sun is part of the My DooHickeys Box Club 10 set (Buzz Buzz) and is still available in the store (I love this set, I use it all the time).

I die cut the two tags from Magnolia DooHickeys die, Tilda Tags (my faves) and tied them up with Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon, then added some charms that I've had forever.  The side, slide out panels are cut with the Recipe Card die from the 2017 Recipe Card collection.

Distress Inks: Aged Mahogany, Black Soot, Bundled Sage, Chipped Sapphire, Fired Brick, Gathered Twigs, Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Wild Honey

Copic Marker: N0

Memento Inks: Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa

Thank you so much for stopping by today and taking a look.  I hope you'll join our current Challenge here where the theme this month is Flowers.  Don't forget that we also sell Polkadoodles, Paper Nest Dolls and Whimsy Stamps which can also be used for our challenges where you can win $20.00 to spend in the Magnolia-licious Stamps, Dies and So Much More Store.

Snow Tweet

Hello My Crafty Peeps and Welcome to my Magnolia-licious Inspiration post.

Happy Friday!!!  I have for you today, my second Christmas card so far this year.  I've already fallen behind as I had hoped to make one per month but there is time to make up for it, right?

Isn't this the most adorable image?  This is Winnie Heavenly-Snow Tweet by Polkadoodles.  I just love her because I picture this as me, sitting in the snow and watching nature, feeding the birds and hoping some will get close enough.  The angel part is a bit of a stretch though.  :P

I have colored this scene with Distress Inks and Copic Markers, Star Dust Stickles and a Gelly Roll pen for the snow.

For the dies I have used Magnolia DooHickeys from Club 2 and Vintage Box 6, and Spellbinders Labels 8.

Distress Inks:  Aged Mahogany, Antique Linen, Fired Brick, Forest Moss, Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Stormy Sky, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain

Copic Markers: N0, N2

Don't forget about our March challenge where the theme is Use Your Favorite Stamp.  You can get all of the details HERE.  I hope you will join us and share your talent.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I would appreciate you letting me know what you think.  I hope you'll have a most wonderful weekend.
