Mini Maggie's Card Set

Happy Monday, y'all! I am really wishing someone from the North would shut the door - it's COLD in FL!! It got into the low 20's/upper teens last night! The high today was 44! Eeek!

My Maggie MINI'S arrived last week and I have never busted anything out and inked it up so quick! I think they were mounted and inked up within a few hours of donning my doorstep! I made a set of 3 mini cards with envelopes for a cute giftset.

The cards measure 3.75 x 3.75 and fit perfect in the 4x4 square envelopes from PTI. I am still in love with this Wonderful Winter DP from MME - I can't get enough of it! The sentiment is from a PTI set.
Here is Christmas Party Tilda
Here is Tilda with Wreath
This one is Tilda with Fir

I will be adding this set of 3 to my Etsy store soon!


Stay warm and stamp, y'all! I will be baking all day tomorrow - lots of yummy treats!

Stamps - Mini Maggies (Tilda with Wreath, Christmas Party Tilda, Tilda with Fir)

Peace on Earth

Happy Sunday! I just got back from taking my daughter and three of her friends to see the latest Harry Potter Movie. It was so good! We had a nice weekend, not too crazy, so it was nice to relax a bit.

I have another Tilda card to share with you tonight. This is Christmas Morning Tilda. She is so pretty and I loved coloring her.The papers are from the Mistletoe collection from Memory Box. These papers are gorgeous!! I used a distressing tool to distress all of the edges of the papers. The sentiment is from a PTI set. I used Copic Markers (E47, 43, 42, 41, & 40) to color the tag for a distressed/worn look. I then ran around the edge of the tag with R89 Copic Marker to frame it. The flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts, the fern punch is Nellie Snellen and the bow was made using my Bow Easy. I used the crystal chandeliers from Magnolia - you can find them here. Of course, I had to airbrush a doily for the background - such a simple thing, but packs a lot of punch!
For anyone interested, this card is already SOLD. I will probably be using her again soon, though! :)

Hugs and have a good night!

Supplies:
Stamps - Christmas Morning Tilda (Magnolia), sentiment (PTI)
Paper - Cardstock (SU), Memory Box DP
Ink - Memento, Copics
Accessories - Fern Punch , Bow Easy, Crystal Chandeliers, distressing tool, Copic ABS, Doily (Wilton)

Merry Christmas Birgitta

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I am trying to get organized for Christmas and company coming to visit in a few weeks. I know it sounds funny to get ready so early for company, but I have a very busy week ahead of me with class parties, crafts, etc. I am always at a loss of what to get my in-laws for Christmas, so I am determined to make my hubby participate in this exercise. What do you buy for the people that buy everything they want? It's so hard!

Anyhow, I have a quick card to show you using Santa Birgitta from CC Designs.

This is the front of easel card. (I really need to try another style of card - I am a bit stuck in a rut with card styles.) The paper is from the Wonderful Winter Stack from MME. I used Martha Stewart punches (border & leaf) as well as lots of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession. The panel behind Birgitta was cut with a Nestability and then embossed with the Snowflake CB folder. I sponged a little Riding Hood Red ink around the edges. I added Stickles to her hat, flowers and to the berries on the sentiment.
Here is the inside of the card. The green panel is for a quick message.

*This was a custom order and is already sold*

supplies:

Stamps - Santa Birgitta (CC Designs), Sentiment (Impression Obsession)

Paper - cardstock (SU), Wonderful Winter (MME)

Ink - Memento, Copics, Riding Hood Red (SU)

Snow Day!!

Happy Friday, y'all! I am so ready for the weekend. I am having some girlfriends over tonight to scrap and make cards!! YAY for 'me time!'

I have a cute little winter card to share with you today. I recently bought some of these Pure Innocence stamps from MFT. They are so easy to color and make for a quick card. I colored her with Copics, cut her out with Nesties and added some Polar White Flower Soft and Stickles.

Gotta run! Have a happy weekend!

Tilda has a Secret...

Happy Thursday, y'all! Christmas is getting closer and closer and I am lovin' all of the Christmas images!

Secret Tilda arrived at my doorstep a few weeks ago from 7 Kids College Fund and I could not wait to use her. I inked her up and colored her while on vacation over Thanksgiving.

I used more DP from the Wonderful Winter DP stack by MME. This is my new favorite paper! Hope you don't get sick of it! It goes great with Old Olive and Riding Hood Red SU cardstock. The poinsettas are Making Memories. I put a dew drop in the center of each and covered it with some Lime Stickles. The fern punch can be found here. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession. I used a corner rounder on it and then colored it with Copics, giving it the distressed look. There are some tiny red rhinestones on the holly. I added the same technique to the panel with Tilda on it.

To achieve that weathered look around the edges, I used E43, E42, E41, E40 and 00 Copic Markers.
Supplies:

Stamps - Secret Tilda (Magnolia Stamps), Sentiment (Impression Obsession)

Ink - Memento, Copics

Paper - Wonderful Winter DP (MME), cardstock (SU)

I chose Tilda in Christmas Coat for my card. She is one of the new 2010 Merry Little Christmas Magnolia Stamps and I am in love with her! I used lots of Clear Stickles and Polar White Flower Soft {this stuff ROCKS} for my wintery scene! The doily in the background was airbrushed using the Copic Airbrush System and some BG72 Copic Marker. Here is a close-up of Tilda. You can see I added some Stickles to her package too.

Brrr......Pass the Cocoa!!

Happy Tuesday! I am trying to stay warm today - it is super chilly in FL right now....Brrrr! It got down into the 20's overnight - very cold for this area, considering I live about 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean!!

I feel just like Willow - curled up in my comfy jeans and sweater with a hot cuppa cocoa, so I thought this was the perfect stamp to use!

I used the Willow with Hot Cocoa stamp from Whiff of Joy. I just bought this cute stack of DP from MME last week and have been itching to use it! The pink and green are so great together. The snowflake embossing folder is by CB. The image and sentiment were cut out using Nestabilities. I airbrushed the sentiment panel with some RV00 Copic Marker.

Non-Traditional Christmas Card (not using Red and Green together)
