My Sweet Valentine

Hello Everyone!

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest card made with Magnolia stamps and DooHickeys dies, which I adore!  I'm pretty sure you might have picked up on that already if you've been here before.  :D

This is my first card as part of the Papercraft Business Design Team.  For those of you who don’t know about this company, it’s actually a place where us paper crafters can learn to improve our visibility out there in the cyber world.  In other words, it helps us level up our blogs and stand out in social media.  Check out their website: Papercraft Bussiness to get the 411.

That being said, Papercraft Business also has a challenge that you can enter here: Papercraft Business Challenges.  This month it’s Anything Goes with the optional theme of Love and/or Valentine’s Day.  Follow the optional theme for an extra entry to WIN this month’s prize which is this super cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn, Love You Tons.

For my inspiration project, I have made this Valentine using my all-time favorite Valentine image by Magnolia Stamps, Tilda With Heart Arrows, from the 2013 With Love collection.

The papers are by Nitwit Designs and the collection is Everlasting.  You may have noticed that I've used this collection in several of my recent projects...  ♫ LOVE IT!! ♫

I've used lots of Magnolia DooHickeys dies here:  Tilda Tag, Cloud Tag from the Cloud & Flag set, Lace Coaster, Summer Leaves, and I used Scalloped Dotted Lace to frame Tilda.

The DooHickeys Club dies used are: Apron Heart from #2 (All I Want For Christmas), Small Cloud from #4 (Le Jardin), Tiny Flower from #5 (Celebration), and Bunny Tail from #8 (My Best Friend).

Sentiment Tags stamped with old Stampendous quad cube.

Silent Night

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had the most wonderful Holiday Season and I hope your New Year is off to a great start.  My November was insane, my December was calm and January seems to be heading in the right direction.

Here is my first Christmas card of 2019.  I would like to complete at least 10 Christmas cards before Thanksgiving.  High hopes, I know but you know how the song goes...

This is Sweetness Angel Tilda from the 2016 A Touch of Love collection.  Isn't she just so sweet keeping watch over the town?

 The poinsettias, pine, mistletoe and little village are made from various Magnolia DooHickey club dies.  They were all cut from white paper and colored with Distress Inks and Copic Markers.

See the postage stamps?  Both the die and Silent Night rubber stamp are from Magnolia Vintage Boxes.

Here are the tags cut from the Magnolia Tilda's Tag die that are tucked into the Sizzix envelope.  The Snowflakes sentiment is another beautiful Magnolia Vintage Box stamp and the Angels sentiment is by Sunny Studio.

Copic Markers:  Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E02, E11, R01, R20  Hair: E50, E1, E53, E57  Clothes: B0000, B000, B00, BV0000, BV000, C00, C1, C3  House: E81, E84, E87, E89  Trees: G12, G29

Distress Inks:  Black Soot, Bundled Sage, Chipped Sapphire

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look and please leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Have a most wonderful day and an even better tomorrow.
