BRRRRR

Magnolia Stamp Lovers is having an ornament challenge. I decided to do something a little bit different with my ornament project- I made an ornament shaped card.

I cut the card on my cricut Imagine. The card base is from Joys of the Season and I filled it with patterns from the Mr. Frosty cartridge. The colors look so vibrant and I love printing them on textured cardstock. I then colored my Tilda to match the papers. This Tilda is called Chilly Tilda, she is an oldy, but a goody!!! I think she looks so cold. I stamped the sentiment (from the Stamping Scrapping Designs Celebrate set) onto mynestabilities label 4 and then sprayed it with my copic air compressor while it was still in the nestie. I love how this leaves such a nice clean white border around the shape.

Some New Bildmalarna Projects

I have been playing with my adorable Mimosa stamps from Bildmalarna and created a few projects for some different challenges. This first card I made for theBildmalarna Blog 3 favorite colors challenge and the Friday Sketchers Sketch challenge.

I used one of my favorites for this card- Mimosa Butterfly. She is colored with my 3 favorite colors- pink, green, and brown. I added some lace and ribbon, a sentiment from Label Accents, and some butterfly rhinestones. I airbrushed the label shape while it was still in the nestie after being embossed and I love the look of the white border all the way around. The paper for this card is from Basic Grey.

I made this second card for the Scrappy Frogs Girlie Girl challenge.

I used this sweet looking Mimosa from the Summer kit which I absolutely love!!!! By the way, order quick, there are only a few more days to order the fall kit. I know it will be just as great as the summer one. I used paper from My Mind's Eye for this card along with some silky trim I found in the fabric section, some prima flowers, and Magnolia chandelier garland. What's more girlie than silky lace, flowers, and chandelier garland?

Fun New Challenge Blog!!!!

Hello everyone, I am pleased to be posting my first project for the exciting new challenge blog- Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central! One reason I am so excited about this new challenge blog is that it allows you to use a variety of stamps and other products, it's not product specific like some challenges (which I love too, don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of all kinds of challenges). The first challenge is to create a wedding project. I decided to mix and match all kinds of stamps in this project. The more the merrier, right?

The background of this stamp is Romantic Sunset from the new Magnolia wedding collection. I did the sunset part with my copic airbrush using y35, y32, and YR 16. After I airbrushed all the colors on, I put my blender pen in the airbrush and sprayed a little of that over it as well. To do the cloud, I just used the blender pen to take the color away. The little couple that I used for the wedding couple is actually Spring Couple from CC Designs. I think this stamp is absolutely adorable! For this card I have dressed Emma up a little bit by adding pearls and stickles to her dress, but they could be made to look more casual as well. The sentiment for the card is from Bildmalarna and is part of their new wedding release. Now, what beach wedding would be complete without the sand? This is one of my favorite new products- Mudpuddles. It comes in a little jar kind of like flock or flowersoft and you spread it on your card or layout and let it dry you don't need any kind of adhesive. It dries and stays on the project perfectly- no chipping or flaking off. I love it!!!!! It's much easier than trying to use glue and real sand-

I know I've tried that before.

I hope you can join us over on the new challenge blog.

I look forward to letting my stamps get out and play with each other!!!

Red, White, and Blue

Well, at this time of year you see a lot of red, white, and blue around in preparation for July 4th. I have made this little red, white, and blue Mimosa card from Bildmalarna in honor of the upcoming holiday.

I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers and the color challenge from Bildmalarna Blog. This image is the super adorable Little Mimosa. I have colored her with my copic markers. It is kind of hard to tell in the picture, but there are several hints of sparkle that I added with my copic spica pens to her dress and bow. The paper I used is Cupcake from Basic Grey. The red piece on the side was embossed with my Cuttlebug stars embossing folder. I added a little bit of lace and ribbon to the top and some prima roses as well. The roses were actually white and I sprayed them with my copic airbrush so they would match the colors in the card. I placed the flowers on top of some pearl gems I found in the wedding department of the craft store (I'm not sure what the exact name is). The sentiment is from the label accents set from Scent With Love.

Fairy Dust Tilda

I created this card for the Friday sketchers sketch challenge. Here is a picture of the sketch

And here is a picture of my card.


I used Fairydust Tilda from the new Fairytale collection. I have colored her with my copic markers. I used the airbrush system for the blue sky background behind Tilda and then also gave the entire image a spritz with shimmerz spritz for a little bit of sparkle. I added a ribbon flower in the corner for decoration and finished it off with a pink gem. I put some flock on the flower to make it look like she was sitting on a dandelion, but it's hard to see in the photo.
