Criss Cross Card using Magnolia's Japanese Tilda

Hello! Boy it has been a long time since I've had time to do crafting and blogging, but have been able to get a few of these criss cross cards done.  something a little different than the standard open out card- I got the instructions from the talented Bev Rochester here.  I coloured up Magnolia's Japanese Tilda and have been practicing my colouring with the help of classes from Alyce of Kit and Clowder. Still not the best, but getting there :-)  I glued a big bow for the pull out part of the card.  the beads are threaded on to a piece of tiger wire which I threaded through the bow and secured with a silver crimp. Paper is from Bo Bunny's Serenity pad. The swirl is a magnolia die cut. Flowers and the cute resin butterflies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Saturated Canary Violet Vintage

 Hello thanks for stopping by.  Tonight I have the beautiful Violet Vintage by the talented Saturated Canary.  Not usually colours I use, but drew inspiration from the Bo Bunny paper from their "Country Garden Collection" pad.  I think I like these two colours together!  Makes for a nice bright card.  I have used a magnolia swirl die and a La La Land heart banner die.  I bought some new flowers from WOC which I recieved the other day ... don't those red calla lillies look divine (sob sob- they dont have them in their shop anymore so I'm not sure if they are a deleted item??)... and those silk daisies?? I got them when they had their discounts, and I cant resist a bargain, so bought up big :-) They now have up to 50% off so go check them out! The acetate butterflies are made by me using a sizzix butterfly stamp set.  

Simply stamp your butterfly on acetate using STAZ ON ink.  coat the ink with Dimesion magic and sprinkle with some fine glitter.  Let dry, colour with you copics, this rough side will be the side facing your card... cut out and fold up your wings and let you butterflies sparkle.  You can also use dragonflies or any insect really!

I have used a rhinestone ribbon slider, and dotted some liquid pearls with glitter dusted over it for spakle and shine.

Penny Black Tulip Jungle mother's day card

Hello!Thanks for stopping by.  Here's another card I made before I went on holidays, hopefully in preparation for a couple of stalls I will be selected for.  This time I have an old favourite Tulip Jungle by Penny Black.  I love Penny Black stamps and have about four draw full of wooden, plus about a dozen of her clear sets... she is a favourite and her images are gorgeous.  I used my circular sentiments from Lili of the Valley, again cut with my lacey circles die from spellbinders.  I have used a swirl die by magnolia and have used chandeliers and flowers from WOC.  The DP is by Bo Bunny from the Prairie Chic collection pad.  I added some dimensional magic to the flowers and stickles to the leaves which you cant really see in the pics, but it makes them pop!

Magnolia Secretive Tilda and some exciting news

Good morning! WOW it has been forever since I've posted here! I have been super busy the last couple of months, but the best achievement I have made is falling pregnant with my third baby (second pregnancy)!!! We are so super excited and so are the kids.... due on the 1st of September, I am 14 weeks pregnant :-)  

I have been working on a couple of cards... this one is a pull out step card using a magnolia image called Secretive Tilda.  I like this design of card because you only use the one design paper.  I have used sheets from a Bo Bunning pad called Prairie Chic Collection. The flowers and chandeliers are WOC, the dragonfly is cut using a Cheery Lynn die.  The little butterflies are the punch outs from my Martha Stewart pop up butterfly edger.  The friendship stamp is from whimsy cut with the coordinating die.  the little banners are from a sheet of die cuts (sorry, not sure of brand).  I have tied off the banner with some divine twine

Hope you like it :-) Check out Southern Girls Challenge this week, they are asking to see banners or pennants on your creations.  Hope I have inspired some creativity in you. Stay safe XOX Tania

Penny Black Fly Away

Hello! another boy card (I know its shocked me too- I never do boy cards!!) This time I have used an old favourite of mine- Penny Black's "Fly Away". He is super cute with his little puppy and aeroplane :0)  The paper is perfect for this image to- its from a bo bunny paper stack called On the Go.  I have raided my stash for the metal charm, brads and star eyelet to fit in with the challenge over at Penny Black's Saturday challenge calling for us to use metal.  I have used some of my cross stitching yarn as I REALLY need to buy some of that fabulous Divine Twine I have seen around, but need to source it from somewhere :0( I dont like that we are behind with some things in Australia (although it is MUCH better than it was just five years ago!!!) If anyone can let me know where I can get it here in Oz that doesn't cost an arm and a leg I'd appreciate it :0) 

I would like to enter in the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge: use metal

Make it Monday

Japanese Tilda with Bo Bunny Serenity paper

Hi there! thanks for stopping by.  This is Japanese Magnolia.  I'm not happy with her skin, but after my first couple of efforts colouring with red copics, I am happy with the red gown.  The paper is from a Bo Bunny stack called "Serenity collection".  I really like these papers, quiet an oriental feel.  I have done some swirls with liquid pearls, which you can see in the bottom picture.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts which I have sprayed some of the white roses with orange glimmer mist and touched the edges of the petals with a red copic.

A short and sweet post this time, It's getting late so am off to bed :0)
