Mother's Day Cards

2011-05-01T16:20:00.000-05:00

I finished my Mom and my Daughter's Mother's Day cards today. I was so worried that I was going to run out of time to get them a handmade card!

Sympathy Card Tilda Inside

2010-05-15T07:34:00.000-05:00

Hi and welcome back.

My sister in law lost her beloved mother this week so I wanted to make a very special card for her. Harriet was a big part of our family she always came with Nancy and Kevin to all of our family get togethers until her health started to fail. We will miss Harriet.

This is what I came up with.

I had a small pearl in the center of the cross and did not realize it had fallen off when my husband took the pictures. I did get it put back on but to late for the picture. Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and your kind comments.

Daddy's Birthday Card by Blaize

2009-09-02T20:10:00.004-05:00

This is my 7 year old granddaughter Blaize. She wanted to make a birthday card for her Daddy from her and her brother Izzic. So she selected a Tilda to be her and a Edwin to be her brother and started coloring away. She told me that she realized that she colored her brother with kinda girl colors but she figured that it would be ok because she has a friend (Bradon) that has a pink t-shirt that says real men wear pink. LOL She also explained that her brothers hands are black because he likes to wear his black gloves. Mommy says that she has only seen him wear them once. Any way that's the story behind the color choices.
Blaize picked out all the papers that she wanted to use and I did all the cutting other wise it is all Blaize's card. I loved it and most of all so did her Daddy.

Blaize said that since she kinda did girl colors on the front she would make the inside more boyish looking. LOL

Hope this cute little card brought a little ray of sunshine your way.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Nancy

I also used Stickles on Tilda's dress and Pumpkin. I also used several of the little goodies that Diana sends along with your Magnolia orders. If by some strange reason you have not ordered from Diana check out her site here. Diana has the best customer service and also has discounts for Magnolia-licious members.

Here is a link to Becca's tutorial for these flowers: http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/spellbinder-ruffled-flower-tutorial/.

The design paper that I used was Basic Grey: Urban Prairie

I ordered my Tilda from Sweden but since I did that I found out that we can request a Tilda if Diana does not have her and Diana will do her best to get it for us so from now on that is what I will do. Diana has a large inventory of Tilda's and fabulous customer service. So buy your Tilda's here .

I used Stickles on Tilda's wings, hair bows and strawberry. On Tilda's crown, shoes and centers of my flowers I brushed on Shimmerz Blingz Gold Glimmer.

I made the center of my flowers with my new I-top tool it seemed to work very well.

Thank you so much for stopping by and looking at my card. Oh that reminds me I tried to follow Claudia Rosa tutorial on how to edit your pictures. If you missed Claudia's tutorial you can find it here. I hoping that my pictures will look a little better.

I would love to here what you think of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I really appreciate all of you!

Tilda with Baby

2009-08-09T09:48:00.005-05:00

Hi,

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. My daughter asked me to make a baby card for one of her best friends that is expecting a baby girl in November. I just finished it this morning so my daughter (Amy) has not seen it yet. Can't wait to show it to her and I hope that she likes it or I will be back to the drawing board. LOL I'm pretty sure she will like it.

Any way to the details:

My Tilda can be purchased fron Diana at Magnolia-licious. I colored Tilda and baby with my Copic markers and I did not take a picture of them this time sorry. My paper is from K & Company Itsy Bitsy, Stampin Up Lovely Lilac. The word stamps are from a set from Cloud 9 Designs called Simple Thoughts-Baby I purchased these at Michaels. I used Stickles on Tilda's wings and headband. The purple flowers are also from Michaels wedding section. I think the little pink bows on the inside came from Michaels as well not 100% sure on that. The binkie on the inside came from Hancock fabrics. I think that is all the details.

Please if you have time I would love to know what you think of my card.

I would also like to thank everyone that does take the time to leave a message you are all awesome!

Have a good day.

Hugs,

Nancy

Tilda Loves Purple

2009-08-02T18:48:00.006-05:00

Hello again,

This is the 3rd card that my friend asked me to make for her. This little Tilda will be going to her daughter for her 30th birthday. My requirements were it had to be purple and she wanted there to be glitter. So I have been saving this Basic Grey wisteria paper collection (Love It) and knew this would be the perfect paper. I also had some light purple glitter paper that goes well with the other purple so that covered my glitter requirement. Most of the glitter paper is on the inside of the card. I also did a little sewing on this card. I used flower soft on the flowers to give them some dimension.

If you have time to leave a comment I would love to hear what you think. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great week.

Hugs,

Nancy

Burr It's Cold Outside!

2009-07-19T05:14:00.003-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Tilda looks really cold doesn't she? This was just a fun quick card. I followed the Friday Sketchers 60 challenge sketch but did not get it finished in time to enter the challenge. I used some white glitter paper and night of navy Stampin Up card stock that I embossed with my cuttle bug. I colored Tilda with my Copic markers.

You can get this cute Tilda from Diana at the Magnolia-licious web site here

If you have time let me know what you think of her. I would also like to thank all of you that do take the time to leave a comment. This group is really awesome!

Hugs,

Tilda Card For 2 Challenges

2009-07-12T11:05:00.008-05:00

I added some shadow around Tilda and at her feet to help her stand out in the picture above.

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted a card. It seems like summer is flying by and all I get done is mow the yard and go to work. It has been so very hot here. But any way I hope you like this card.

I am going to enter it in the July Magnolia-licious Highlites Challege where the sketch to follow this month was created by the fabulous Jacque!

I also am going to enter this in the Copic Creations Challenge #7 Brunette Hair the sponsor for this challenge is Diana Crick and the prize is one of Diana Scor-Pals. These are a must have in my opinion!

The Tilda that I used on this card I order straight from Sweden. I did not find her at Diana's web site and I just had to have her. I do order almost all of my Tilda stamps from Diana at the Magnolia-licious web site. Diana has by far the best selection of Tilda's. She also offers us a great discount for being a member of the yahoo group and very reasonable shipping. Check out her store here it is awesome and become a member of the Magnolia-licious yahoo group!

The card stock I used was from K & Companyclassic K Margo and Stampin Up night of navy.

I also used my new Borderabilities Lattice Border that I won from the Spellbinders new release blog hop.

If you have time to leave a comment that would be super. Your comments mean a lot and I would like to thank all of the kind people who have left me such encouraging comments in the past!

Hugs to all,

Nancy

Tilda Dreaming of a Vacation

2009-06-20T15:59:00.005-05:00

Wow it has taken me forever to get a card finished. I have worked on this card all week and wasted so much paper trying to get it right. I guess I should not say wasted because I'm sure I will be able to use them on another projects but very frustrating none the same!Tell me what you think I'm still not sure about it. I really struggle putting my cards together. Being artistic does not come naturally to me. lol Thank goodness for the people that are artistic so that I can look at your work to draw ideas from you all.

Now hopefully I have not scared you all away and you will take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks so much for taking your time and I love to read your comments.

July Home Page Entry

2009-06-08T20:00:00.003-05:00

Hi all,

I have a quick post tonight. I finished my card for the July home page contest. I seem to be on a roll with Edwins lately. I followed Jacques sketch for this weeks Friday Sketchers Challenge to make my card. I thought it was a great sketch.

I don't remember the name of the design paper I used to make this card. I cut the bottom off that had the name on it and now I can't find it.

Any way here is my card would love to know what you think of it.

Entry for Magnolia DT Blog Hop

The design team made some really cute sets to inspire us and you could have a chance to win some of their sets along with a chance to win some more Magnolia stamps from Diana at Magnolia-licious for the grand prize. Whoohoo whatcha waiting for? lol

Stop by Jacque's Blog for a chance to win some fabulous blog candy!

Ok about my entry it probably doesn't look to much like summer but I wanted to use one of my new Edwins that I got from Diana at Magnolia-licious so I thought this paper suited a boy. I named my set after my youngest grandson Izzic. Izzic is Blaize's little brother which some of you have read about in a previous post. Izzic is all boy and loves to play outside in the summer and he usually ends up with bandaids all over him just like this little Edwin. I will post pictures of Blaize and Izzic so you can put a face to the name.

The design paper I used is from My Minds Eye

If you have time, let me know what you think and thanks for stopping.

2009-05-30T19:43:00.008-05:00

Hello all,

I had some time this afternoon to work on a baby card for my husbands niece. Tiffany and her husband Patrick just found out they are expecting their first child. So I wanted to make a special card for them. I tried sewing this card which is the first time I have ever sewed a card. I have been inspired by so many wonderful women in the Magnolia-licious group. I even did the inside of the card which is another first for me.

I am going to enter this card in the just Magnolia Challenge you can find here.

For some reason the pictures I take of my Copic markers seem to be fuzzy so I am going to list them since I didn't have to use to many here ya go:

Y000, Y11, YG11, B00, E59, E39, E13 and G21

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black and Distress Ink Broken China

Design Paper by Moxxie called Blessed

Magnolia Cuddly Horse # 611 from the Love Collection 2009

Tilda colored by Blaize 7 years old

2009-05-30T04:54:00.003-05:00

I just had to post this little Butterfly Tilda that my grand daughter Blaize colored. Blaize loves to color Tilda's just as much as I do. We spend a lot of time in the craft room together. I cherish every minute that we get to spend together.

You can purchase Butterfly Tilda at Magnolia-licious

Now like I said Blaize colored Tilda and I did the rest. Blaize loves to read so I thought I would make her a book mark. I added star dust Stickles all over her wings. The Girls Rock stamp is out of a Hannah Montana stamp set I picked up at Walmart in a clearance bin. The paper is Stampin Up.

If you have time to leave a comment that would be great. Blaize loves to read the comments.

2009-05-24T20:44:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope that everyone is having a great Memorial Weekend. I found some time today to make a card that I am going to enter in the Friday Sketchers. You can find Friday Sketchers here http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/

I selected one of my Tilda's for this card. The Design Paper is from Imaginisce (Summer Cool and Bubblegum Blast). Solid color cardstock is some that I got from QVC. I made the flower on the card with The sunflower out of the Spellbinder Edgeabilities (Sunflower Garden). I snipped the petals to give them some dimension and filled the center of the flower with Sweet Pea Flower Soft and some Martha Sewart glitter which is not showing very well in the picture.

Please let me know what you think of the card I would love to hear your comments.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

2009-05-20T19:12:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I finally got another card finished tonight to share with you. This stamp is from the new Victoria Case collection designed for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design here is a link to her online store http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/. Susana has great customer service and very fast shipping check her out if you haven't had a chance.

I used a lot of my copic markers to color this one. I have so much card stock and some of it is several years old so I really don't know what company's card stock I am using so that I can tell you. I used some diamond stickles to add a little bling to the flowers and the dragonflys that I punched out. I also filled the little girls eyes with crystal effects . I got the idea from Suzanne Dean. I really like the effect and thought it was a great idea. Suzanne has a fabulous blog and many very helpful video tutorials to help you with you copic coloring. She really rocks.

I hope I did this cute little girl justice. Let me know what you think I would love to hear your comments.

Thanks for looking

2009-05-17T11:34:00.000-05:00
