Midsummer Tilda

Hi everyone!! Hope that you are all doing well!! I'm on vacation in the Lonestar state this week visiting my boyfriend who's working here, so I am enjoying my time to just relax and recharge myself.

I wanted to share this easel card that I made a few weeks ago with you (I cased it from a card that I made in a card class at the Paper Pickle). I made it for a card mingle in the Magnolia-licious group that I belong to. The theme was "Happy Birthday" as the group just celebrated its 2nd birthday last month.

I stamped Midsummer Tilda with Memento ink in tuxedo black onto some white cardstock that I bought from my LSS, The Paper Pickle ( I can't remember which company makes it but I really like it), and coloured it in with my Stampin' Write markers. The rest of the cardstock and designer paper is from a Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions. To finish off my card, I used my scalloped edge punch from SU! (I really like this punch), some white organza ribbon from SU!, some Stickles and some green pearls.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card! I'm going to get out of the apartment here today and take a walk to the Hobby Lobby that I found when we were driving to pick up our supper last night (I love this store and didn't realize how close I was to one...I'm just going to have to not go crazy shopping there cause I don't want to pay extra for having a heavier suitcase on my flight back home). Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day!!

- Sorry that the picture of my card is sideways...I've tried loading it a few times the normal way but it keeps coming out sideways, so I'm not sure what's going on with the Blogger picture loader.

Tilda With Flowing Hair

Hi everyone!! I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted something on my blog. I had intended to post this card earlier but I wanted to make sure that it had arrived to the recipient as it was a Magnolia-licious mingle card for the month of April.

I'm really still liking the look of easel cards so I used a Magnolia stamp (Tilda With Flowing Hair) to help me create one (I cased the idea for this card from a class that I did at my LSS, The Paper Pickle). I stamped the image with Memento ink on cardstock that I bought from my LSS The Paper Pickle (I can't remember who makes it but I really like it) and coloured the image up with my Stampin' Write markers. The remaining cardstock is from SU! (Certainly Celery and So Saffron) and the patterned paper is from the Taylored Expressions Easter Key Ingredients kit. To finish off my card, I used some ribbon from SU! (So Saffron), a scallop border punch from SU!, some clear rhinestones for some added bling, and some flower stuff to just add that little extra something.

I'm really happy with how this card turned out and really glad to hear that the recipient enjoyed it as well. Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest card...I should have more cards to share with you again soon!!

Oh Baby!!

Hi everyone...hope you're all having a great weekend so far. I can't believe how nice the weather is here today (sunny and mild)...I really can't wait until it's officially spring.

I wanted to share this card that I made for a family friend's baby shower yesterday. I bought this Stamping Bella stamp (teddybella) and had a really cute but simple idea for a card in mind for it.

I stamped it out with Memento ink and coloured it in my copics (I'm just learning how to use them...I'll be going to a technique class at my LSS this week). All the papers and the pearls came from a Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients set (love how all the papers and embellishments in these kits go so well together). I popped the image up and added some glossy accents to a couple of the bags to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card!! I'm hoping to post some more new cards this upcoming week that I haven't gotten around to sharing with you all yet. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

More Christmas Cards...

Hi everybody...hope you're all having a great weekend! I just wanted to share some Christmas cards that I made today (my mom and I had our annual Christmas card making day...but we figure it'll probably take us one more day sometime this month to finish off all of our cards for this year). The stamps are from Stamping Bella, Magnolia, House Mouse and Taylored Expressions, and I hope you enjoy looking at my cards.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Hope you're all having a great Saturday! I've been wanting to share these cards with you for over a week now but I was waiting until I was sure that the recipients had received them.

I saw this stamp (Tilda with a Spider Web) and knew I had to use it to make these Halloween cards. I pretty much stamped them in Memento ink, embossed them with some sparkly black detail powder, and coloured them in with my Stampin' Write markers. All of the paper used came from the Halloween Key Ingredients kit by Taylored Expressions (love these kits). I wanted to keep these cards simple so I just used my corner rounder and some pop dots on the image to finish off the card. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out (although I wish I had made more Halloween cards this year...these are the only ones that I got around to making).

Thanks for stopping by to check out my creations! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
