Mimosa with Apples

Hello Friends,
Today I made another Mimosa creation. This is another of the new fall stamps from Bildmalarna and yes, another cutie!
Here she is ….. Mimosa with Basket of Apples. I also used the Birthday Wishes sentiment from Bildmalarna that came in one of the stamp kits. For the edge and the swirl I used my Magnolia Doohickey dies. For Mimosa’s mat I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 10. I love these, they are large enough that you can get the whole image in without trimming. My little pearl sprigs are from Hobby Lobby, a rose from my stash and the leaves are a McGill’s pine punch.
 
I am entering her in the following challenges:

• Color Create – Warm pink, white and chocolate
• Papertake Weekly – Cutie Patootie
• Midnight Madness - sketch

I colored her with the following Copics:

• Skin – E11, E00, E000, E0000, R22, R21, R20
• Clothes and apples – E53, E51, E50, R24, R22, R20, R01
• Hair and basket – E29, E25, E50

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Mimosa Witch

Today I want to share with you this cute new stamp from Bildmalarna. She is called Mimosa Witch and is available at Stamping Scrapping right now.

Isn’t she just the cutest little witch? I don’t normally make the same card twice but I have been experimenting with color and decided to color two of these images differently. Here is the second one.

I find it very interesting the different look you get just by changing around your focal color.

I used the following Copics for my images:

• Skin – E11, E00, E000, E0000, R22, R21, R20
• Clothes – RV99, RV95, RV91, YG99, YG95, YG91, B4, B2, B00, B000, W1 (tone down the blue)
• Cat and hair – N8, N6, N4
• Bowl and milk container – E42, E41, E40, B2, B00, B000

Here are my cards:

 

I made the cards from inspiration I found at the following challenges:

• Crafts 4 Eternity – sketch, marbled paper & hand made embellishment
• Penny’s Paper – 1 ribbon (part of my embellishment), 2 dp (marbled and purple behind marbled), & 3 embellishments (stick pin with ribbon, charm and dots)

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check out the new collection of Bildmalarna stamps at Stamping Scrapping or Bildmalarna.com.

Paper Piecing …. what fun!

Our challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers this time is to do some paper piecing.

I chose some bright colors for mine and matted each color with a corresponding color. My piecing isn’t as sophisticated as the other gals but I did do a little cutting on Miss Tilda and as you can tell she is in a few pieces herself. If you haven’t see this stamp before it is Bandage Tilda and Cindy has her in stock at Stamping Scrapping so be sure to go check her out. She also has the new collection up and ready for pre-order.

Thanks for stopping by and sorry my post is so short. Working long hours and have a few more projects to complete …. see you soon!

Whiff of Joy Sketch and GDT call

Over at Whiff of Joy they have an interesting sketch that I found rather challenging but fun. They are also having a guest design team call. I would love to be chosen for this even though it is for a short time I think it would still be fun.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

The papers are from my stash. I used Nestabilities Labels 10 to mount my image on and I colored this little cutie with Copics. The flowers are Prima fairytale roses and McGill’s pine punch for the sprigs.

I followed the same theme for the inside of my card.

 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Have a great day.

Burgundy, Pink and Cream

Our challenge at Bildmalarna Challenges is to use three favorite colors. I love color so it is a very hard choice for me but while trying to figure out what my three favorite colors were I ran across this paper and thought, oh yes, this is it.

Here is my project.

I used Mimosa’s Birthday and the Happy Birthday Hearts sentiment for my image. I colored the image using Copics.

Be sure to check out our challenge!

It’s all about weddings

Summertime is the preferred time to get married and I’m sure it is because the weather is nice, the sun usually shines, everything is in bloom ….. well, you get the picture.

There is a new challenge blog called Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central and the first challenge is weddings and with weddings the bride and groom are of course the most popular … hmmm, imagine that!!

I decided to do my project featuring something for someone just as important, she always gets ahhh’s, isn’t she cute, when she walks down the aisle. Do you know who that is? The flower girl!

So, for my project I created a gift bag for the bride to give to the flower girl.

Did you know that Stamping Scrapping has the wonderful Sizzix Pro? This is a die cut system that has all of these wonderful dies, you order which item you want, Cindy runs it through the machine and it comes to you all ready to be assembled. You have your choice of color and she uses a heavy, pearlescent paper that is suitable for sanding. There is also a discount for multiple items! For my bag I chose the Bag with Heart Handles. My image is the cute little Heidi from C.C. Designs. I used copics to color her and placed her on a bed of flower soft. I used Prima fairytale roses. On the other side of the bag I used my Just Rite stamper and the flower stamp from the Thinking of You large oval set. I really like the Just Rite stamper and now they have clear acrylic stamps and stamp holders so you can see where you are stamping. Cindy has them up for pre-order here but be careful, once you use them you will be hooked!!

For coloring Heidi I used the following Copics:

• Skin – E11, E00, E000, R22, R20
• Hair – E09, E07,YR09, YR02
• Clothes – BG78,BG75, BG72, BG000, BG0000, YG63

I am also entering my project in the following challenges:

• The Creative Cottage – not a card
• Wild Orchid challenge – say it with flowers

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central.

Extra! Extra! Tilda has news

Well, two postings in one day …. I am doing great!

I made this card for a couple of  challenges:

• Aly’s Sunday Challenge – red or white or blue or combo
• Get Sketchy – sketch

This card will be going to a cyber friend for their birthday and with Magnolia Down Under wanting newspaper I just had to make a birthday card and of course use Love News Tilda.  The sad part is I missed the challenge at Magnolia Down Under but that is OK because I still like the newspaper!! For my sentiments I used my fonts from my Just Rite Stamper and added them to the tickets which I also stamped.

 

For Miss Tilda I colored her with the following copics:

• Skin – E11, E00, E000, E0000, R22, R21, R20
• Clothes – E35, E33, E31, E30, R22, R21, R20

And the inside.

Chocolate and Cream – a yummy combination

This card was made using one of my new Tilda’s – Tilda with spring bundle. She is just so cute, I love her hand in her pocket.

The paper is from my stash and I really had to dig to get it. I have tons of paper but when you are looking for something specific, boy,is it a chore! For my distressing I used my Zutter Distrezz It All. I really love this thing, so much easier on my hands and definitely quicker! I sewed around the edges with my sewing machine. The blue rose I colored with my Copics using B00 and E40 to dull down the blue.

 

For Tilda I stayed with my chocolate and cream color theme and used the following Copics:

• Skin – E11,E00, E000, E0000, R22, R21, R20
• Clothes – E44, E42, E40, B02, B00, B000, B0000
• Flowers – B02, B00, YG93
• Hair – E47, E44, E42, E41, E40

I have entered this card in the following challenges:

• Cards and Things – sketch
• One Stop Craft – monochromatic
• Just Magnolia – three flowers, two papers and one ribbon
• Totally Tilda – chocolate and cream

Thanks for stopping by.
