Mother's Day Wishes

Happy Tuesday, y'all!! I have been bitten by the creative bug and have been cranking out all sorts of new cards the past few days!!! YAY! Yesterday, I madethe 3 Mother's Day cards for my family (My Mom, My MIL and my Grandmother In Law). I hope they love them! I am so glad to get these done so early. I am really trying to get on the ball and have stuff done early these days.

I am really stuck on Tilda with Flowing Hair right now. I need more Maggies... (could have stopped right there and all of y'all would have understood) ....with flowers, baskets, etc. Maybe I need the Tilda with Cherries image or some other new ones....Always room for new Maggies in my opinion. It is a sickness, I think - 'Magnolia-itis' I think we shall call it!! LOL!! Oh well 7 Kids has great prices and super fast shipping to feed my need!

I created the background using Circle Nesties, my Copic ABS and some post it notes. I also airbrushed the doily and then layered Tilda on top of it all. I stacked lots of punched leaves and some pearl spray (Hobby Lobby wedding section) to finish it off!!
Here is a close-up. I used these Copics:
E11, 00, 000, R30, Y26, 21, 11, 00, 0000, E37, 35, 33, 30, R5, 3, 1, YG97, 95, 93, E57, 35, 53, 50, B21, G24,

Supplies:
Stamps - Tilda with Flowing Hair, Sentiment (Great Impressions)
Paper - cardstock (SU), Porcelain DP (Basic Grey)
Ink - Memento, Copics
Accessories - Stickles, Copic ABS, Nestabilities, Fern Punch, doily, DooHickey leaf die (Magnolia), Flowers (Prima and WOC), Pearl Spray (HL), Leaf punch (Martha Stewart)

Hope Your Day is Sweet!

Happy Friday.....again (2nd post for the day)! Hope everyone had a nice day today! I am wiped out from lack of sleep last night (Tim McGraw concert) and another full day today. I am attempting to watch Avatar again with my daughter, but doubt I will finish it tonight - too tired! This will be my 2nd attempt, but I just get too tired to finish it - LOL! Guess I am old!

I have a new Tilda card to share with you. I made this Mother's Day card for my MIL.

I used Jam Tilda and Tin Boxes (looks like it's out of stock at the moment) that I purchased from Magnolia-licious. I pulled out some Basic Grey Stella Ruby DP along with some Ruby Red and Soft Suede card stock. I created the sentiment myself on my pc. I used a doily from Michael's and airbrushed it with some YG93 and added some stitching around the card.
Here is a close-up of Ms. Tilda. I colored the tin boxes and then cut them out. They are layered on top of each other rather than next to each other like the original stamp. I added a generous amount of Liquid Glass to the glass front of heart cookie container. Tilda was colored with Copics as well, cut out and layered on top of the box.
Here is a side view - you can see the dimension and lastly, here are the copics I used.

Thanks for stopping by twice today! I am hoping to post another card this weekend, but we will see. I have 3 soccer games to go to tomorrow as well as celebrating my daughter's 14th b.day. She has her final lacrosse game on Sunday too. Soccer and lacrosse are finally winding down - one more week for soccer - and then I will have much more free time to create! :)


If I do not post again this weekend, I want to wish all of the Mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day!! ~Tori

Happy Mother's Day Tilda

Happy Hump Day, y'all! Hope everyone is having a fine Wednesday so far! I am stopping by briefly to show you a Mother's Day card I made for my Grandmother In-Law. I am trying to get these whipped out a little early since I have to mail them to PA.

I am submitting this card for Just Magnolia's Anything Goes challenge this week. This is Tilda Holding Lilacs and she is available over at Magnolia-licious. I used some more of my new Basic Grey Going Green DP - one of my favs....I know I say it about all of their paper lines - LOL! I paired it with some more blush blossom & old olive cardstock. I added some Raspberry Fizz Flower Soft to her lilacs. The sentiment is by Great Impressions stamps. I airbrushed the hydrangea's with some R01. The roses are from Prima, the fern punch is Martha Stewart as well as the border punch.
Here is a close-up of this sweet girl. I colored her with Copics and added some glitter to her wings.
This is the inside of the card. I created a panel to write a quick note and then created a pocket for a Barnes & Noble gift card. Mom-Mom is an avid reader, so I know this will get put to good use!
Here are the Copics I used. I did forget to add the ones for her hair and skin so here goes:
Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair - E50, E53, E55, E57
Patches - R20, R21, R22, R24
Okay, think I got them all now! I was really tired last night when I took these pics and was too lazy to re-take them! LOL!

Have a great day and be sure to stop by tomorrow to see a new Pink Cat Studio goodie!! ~Tori

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing one!

My first post is of a recipe page I made for a Drink Recipe Swap that some local friends put together.

Yum-O - Strawberry Daicquiri's!

No stamping on this one, just good ol' scrappin'. The font is QK Spicy Chicken, the DP is Out & About by MME (look for lots of cards using this, since I have a lot of left over!!) The cardstock base is Bazzill, the recipe is printed on Very Vanilla and the font CS is Cameo Coral (SU). I inked all of the edges in Chocolate Chip and added some primas and bling to round it out!

Here is the recipe:

1/4 small can Frozen Pink Lemonade

4 oz Rum

1- 10 oz package frozen strawberries

Ice

Combine all ingredients except ice in blender. Process until smooth.

Add several ice cubes at a time. Process until smooth.

Add more ice cubes and process until slushy. May be stored in the freezer.

Here is a Mother's Day card that I made for my Mom.

These stamps are both Hero Arts - the flower is from a background stamp - Outline Flowers. I used some of the retired Afternoon Tea DP from SU. The flower was stamped with Memento ink, colored with R00, R02, R05 and G21 Copics. I added Eucalyptus stickles over the center and popped it up using pop dots. I ran the green sheet through my CB using a leaf folder and then cut out the leaf (got the idea from Faith Hofrichter "Markie's Mom"). The card base is Groovy Guava and was ran through with a different CB folder. I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip, cut it out with the deckled rectangles nesties, sponged Choc Chip around the edges and added some Wild Wasabi ribbon.

Here is the Mother's Day cards I sent to my Mother In-Law and Grandmother In-Law.

This was my first attempt at using Flower Soft. I think it turned out pretty cute. The stamp is from Penny Black. I colored the stamp with SU markers Chocolate Chip & Pretty Pink and then sponged certainly celery and bashful blue for the ground and sky. I added pink flower soft over the pretty in pink. I inked the sentiment from Great Impressions in Choc Chip and stamped onto Regal Rose paper and ran some Whisper White CS through my CB. The ribbon is from Creative Impressions.

Have a wonderful day!
