Good morning, Steph here with a Magnolia stamp - Pointing Tilda. This image is so sweet and is quick and easy to color. I wonder what she is pointing to - perhaps the Christmas Tree or even some gift she wants. Whatever it is she is pointing to, I do love her.

I colored her with Copic Markers after first stamping her in Black Memento Ink on Cryogen white cardstock.


I inked around the image with Antique Linen Distress Ink before matting it with red and black cardstock.   The mini charm will be in the store soon - it's a gift package with "for you" on the little tag. 





Thank you for visiting.

Hi, 
Pi here again for another terrific Tuesday card - LOL!


This week I was in the mood for monochromatic and vintage. As you can see I coloured my Winter Skating Tilda with all my E-copics. You will now be able to find copics in the store. Unfortunately, they won't be able to ship outside US:( What's up with that? Don't they see that we also need copics across the borders:)

The design paper layered on the card is from graphic 45 Olde curiosity shoppe, which can also be found in the store.

  The all the papers are distressed with TH tool and then edged with vintage photo. The base of the card is smooth kraft paper by Neenha. In between the papers are a piece of card stock in sand colour that has been dry embossed with TH damask embossing folder. To make the embossing pop  a bit I just ran the ink pad over the raised parts.

I wanted to show off the gorgeous paper from G45 and therefore not many embellishment made it on to the card. However, some box pleated ribbon by Melissa Frances and some I am roses flowers was just plainly necessary. Tilda is also appearing to be sitting on a ribbon by may arts in pink champagne.

Thank you for visiting

Hi Everyone.  Dawn here on this fabulous Friday with my post for The Rubber Buggy, to show you some more inspiration using some wonderful stamps and products from the Store. Today I used a stamp from Sarah Kay called " A Little Bit Country  ".
 


My card is 4 1//4 x 5 1/2 .   I stamped my image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some Cryogen CS.  I then colored my image in using copics.   I used a Dutch Doily Rectangle Frame die from Cheery Lynn to create my frame for my colored image. I did not add anything else as I wanted the colored image to be spotlighted.

See you all back next Friday with some more inspiration.  The challenge blog will soon be up and running, so keep checking back to see what awesome challenges we have in store for you all.....

Happy Stamping!!!!!

Hey Everyone,
         It's thursday once again and I hope you all are doing great. I made a 3D box card to share with you today. The 3D box is made with bazzill cardstock and I cut the front to make a nice window using my die cutting tool and I adhered a recycled acetate for the window front to make it look like a glass window. This card can be folded flat easily, I love making interactive cards and this one is one of my favorite to make. I might change the photo later on when I took the picture it was late so I couldn't capture the good lighting(photo already updated).  I used Cocco with present by Magnolia stamps. I colored the adorable bear with copic markers. I used some die cuts from my cricut to add in this project. For embellishments I added Chandelier Garland, rhinestones, eyelashes trim, a flower that I made and a crown princess metal charm. Also, for designer paper I used Magnolia paper Rainbow bumble bee. To finish it off I stamped a sentiment and that's about it. I hope you like this 3D box card that I enjoyed making. Have a good one :)

Good morning, Steph here with Jack and Ginger, a sweet stamp by Mo Manning. I have always loved this stamp.  It's great to see love in all it's glory even for the older age group!

Since I wanted to color the image with Copic Markers, I first stamped the image with Memento Black Ink. I have found this to be the perfect ink when using Copic Markers as it doesn't bleed.  As I wanted the image to stand out, I chose not to add any embellishments to the card.



After die cutting the image, I lightly added some Antique Linen Distress Ink around the edges, then added a coordinating mat. This was then added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.  I slipped the sentiment underneath.

Thank you for visiting.

Hi everyone!!
Pi here with a Tilda stamp from The Winner takes it all collection 2011.


Today I'll show you how I made the background for Magnolia Golf Tilda stamp, the collection includes several adorable stamps for different sports.

I coloured her with copic markers and paper pieced her shirt with Magnolia paper. The pants are from scraps in my stash.

So, may be that most of you probably already practise this technique, but I just started this (if you don't yet know this by me - I'm always the last one to jump at a trend). Anyway, I started with white card stock and tore the stick side of a post it note to utilise as a mask.

Put the post it as high as you'd like the background to be.

 Then use your colour of choice, I used distress inks, but it should be able to work with any spray or mist if you like. I have not worked with that many brands of inks, but please add to the list if you know more. I started with Bundled sage and added Peeled paint to the edges and side were I wanted "shadow" underneath my swinging Tilda:)

Notice one side is darker than the other

When you are satisfied with the amount of colour, remove the post it note and behold the result.

Background - Done!

 In the end I also added with pencils grass , but I think I liked it better without... If you compare the pics below... What do you think?

Without pencilled grass...

With pencilled grasss...

I layered some ribbon bows on top of each other and added some stick pins to the mess. I also managed to get some of the gorgeous Magnolia chandelier garland in green to the mix.

The banner with the stamped sentiment is hand cut with scissors and layered with the same paper as the base of the card. To finish it of I added a butterfly charm in Tibetan silver.
