Think Spring Bunnies

Hello crafty friends! Can’t believe I have been away from my blog for so long. There are many cards I made but didn’t have time to show them here. Anyway, it’s never been too late to do things right. Let’s start my first post this year with the card I made for Addicted to Stamps last month challenge themed Spring.

I picked this “Think Spring Bunnies” from Whimsy Stamp for this project. I decorated the card with many die cuts from Doohickey and Lawn Fawn. The pattern paper is from Pion Design.

I colored the stamped image with distress ink adding different colors for each bunny.

The card is also decorated with paper flowers to represent spring.

That’s a brief start for today. I will come back tomorrow with my new project for new Addicted to Stamps challenge. Thank you for stopping by.

Star Shaped Pencil Box

Hello! Today I have a project I made for Magnolia Forever challenge to share with you. This month theme is

Girly

I have created the star shaped pencil box using Lawn Fawn Puffy Stars dies. I cut a stripe of cardboard and attached along the bottom edges of star die cut to form a box. Then, I decorated the box with pattern paper, trim, die cut, paper flowers and other embellishments in sweet pastel colors to match the theme.

The image is Magnolia “Star Balloon Tilda” stamp from Le Cirque 2018 collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink in the same color combo with the box.

I will put this box on my craft table to hold some markers and pens.

I would like to enter this project to these challenges.

Spring Swing Double Side Step Card

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show a card for Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for this month is

Flowers

I have created another spring themed step card. This time I used double side step card design. The steps are in the center of the card so I laid flowers field on these steps to create background for Tilda on the swing.

I decorated the card with many die cuts from Doohickey. These die cuts are from Doohickey volume 4 (flower field on both steps, clouds), 8 (Grasses), 10 (Leaves on the branch, sun), 11 (wood tag), and 16 (Big tree). I also used die cuts from Magnolia (Sakura Branch), Lawn Fawn (Grass border), and Spellbinders (Leaves). The sentiment ‘Happy Day’ is from Magnolia shadow stamp from Little Sunshine 2015 collection.

The cute Tilda is from Magnolia “Country Girl” stamp. I used stamp masking technique to make her sitting on the “Happy Swing” from the same collection. To add the story to the card, I also included the cat from “Kitty Kit” stamp from Spring Fever 2016 collection and masked it on the old “stock” from Halloween & Autumn 2008 collection. Those little birds are from “Little Summer Birds” from Sea Breeze 2013 collection. I colored all the stamped images with distress ink.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

Springtime Step Card

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show a card for Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for this month is

Spring

I have created a spring themed step card. I love the design of step card that it allows to add layers on each step so you can create dimension and perspective view on your card.

 

I layered many spring themed die cuts and Magnolia characters on each step. These die cuts are from Doohickey volume 4 (small flower row on the front step), 8 (Grass), 9 (Bushes), 10 (Leaves on the branch), 11 (wood tag), and 17 (Birdhouse). I also used die cuts from Magnolia (Cherry Tree and Sakura Branch), Lawn Fawn (Grass border), and Spellbinders (Bird & Leaves).

These cute characters are from Magnolia “Tilda with Little Chickens” and “Sunbeam Bunnies Kit” stamps from Sunbeam 2018 collection. I colored the stamped images with distress ink.

The sentiment is the stamp from LOTV. I also added tiny eggs to match with bird and birdhouse.

Your favorite embellishments

I have created a slider pop up card in sweet Spring-Easter colors tone. The card base is from Magnolia Pop Up Box 1 and patterned paper is from Pion Designs. I decorated the card with few grass and flowers die cuts from Doohickey volume 4 and Lawn Fawn Grass Border die. I also used Lawn Fawn Claire’s ABC clear stamps to create the ‘Sweet Time’ sentiments. I added some paper flowers, ribbon, and pearls as they are my favorite embellishments.

The cute Tilda and bunny is Magnolia “Tilda with Inez the Bunny” stamp from Animal of the Year 2014 collection. I colored the image with distress ink as usual.

Behind the Scene of Halloween

Hello everyone! Let’s start with some exciting news. I just got invited to join DT team at Addicted to Stamps Challenge. With no hesitation, I immediately accepted this invitation because I loved stamping and coloring the stamped image. So this opportunity was definitely right for me.

Today it’s the first challenge I created for Addicted to Stamps challenge. The theme is

Embossing Wet (Heat) or Dry

Last week I had busy time cleaning my house because one of my cats peed around my craft room. I had to clean the floor many time to get rid of bad smell. Also it’s almost time for Halloween. I came up with the idea that the witch might have busy time with her black cat too.

So I have created this funny Halloween box using Magnolia “Tvi Tvi Tvi Tilda” stamp from Little Easter 2013 collection. The box was made with thick cardboard painted in black. I used Spellbinders Scalloped Border 2 dies to cut the edges of the box. The patterned paper was pressed in the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to create more texture. Then I decorated the box with many die cuts from Doohickey, Cottage Cutz, and Lawn Fawn.

 Both sides of the box…

 Close up for the front…

The cover was also decorated with paper flowers and die cuts from  Magnolia Doohickey & Vintage Box, Marianne design, Lawn Fawn, and Tonic Studios.

Sakura Garden Paper Bag

Hi crafty friends! It is time for the new challenge at Magnolia Forever. The theme for this fortnight challenge is

Flowers

The April month has come. This is the hottest month in Thailand. Also, there are many public holidays in this month. So many people would like to spend this time to travel abroad to escape from super-hot weather. One of the most famous destinations is Japan, where Sakura flowers are full blooming during this time. This becomes my inspiration for the flower-theme project.

I made a paper bag using “Kokeshi Tilda” stamp from last year Sakura collection and “Japanese Tree of Luck” stamp from Summer Memories 2012 collection. The images were coloured with distress ink using no-line colouring technique. I found it a bit challenging to colour the tree and black hair but finally I was satisfied with the result.

• Magnolia “Japanese Tree of Luck” stamp from Summer Memories 2012 collection

You have 1 more week to submit your project here.

To stay away from fall colours like yellow, orange, and brown, I selected pastel blue, purple, and pink for this project as they are my favourite colours. And I’m glad this theme is not for autumn because I really wanted to use new Magnolia stamps which are in Christmas theme. I used one of the stamps from the Fall 2015 Stamp club. This is “Lace Hood Tilda” from the new preorder A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection. She is holding a Christmas gift box so I create a present shaped card to match with the image.

• Paper flowers and Stamens
• Stampendous Frantage “Shabby Blue” embossing enamel
• Ranger Stickes “Diamond”
• Embellishments: Ribbons, Lace, Pearl string, Rhinestone, Chandelier
• Gesso

The stamped images were coloured with distress ink as usual. I added gesso lightly to soften the colours down to get sweet shabby chic look. Here is the close up. 

The lid of the present box can be pulled out to write the message inside.

I made the midnight sky scene using distress inks; Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. The top part was covered and heat embossed with Judikins embossing powder “Sparkle Diamond” and star shaped rhinestones to make a million stars in the sky.

Inside the card is the space to write the message. I used Magnolia “Shooting Stars Border” stamp from You Are So Special 2011 collection to be the frame of the message.

Welcome To My Blog – Birthday Celebration Shaker Card

Hi everyone! Welcome to my first blog ever. I’ve been doing scrapbook and cardmaking projects as a hobby for a few years. I really enjoyed reading many blogs to learn new techniques and get new inspiration for my own projects. So I decided to create this blog to document and share my cardmaking, scrapbooking, and other papercraft projects. I think this will be totally new experience for me and I hope everyone enjoys my blog.

Today I would like to start my first post with a birthday card I made for my dear friend. I’m practicing distress ink coloring technique. So I selected Magnolia Celebration Tilda stamp from Sweet Crazy Love 2012 Collection for this project. I think Celebration Tilda is perfect for shaker card and it looks like Tilda is wearing pajamas. So I created night scene and stars to match this stamp.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Celebration Tilda” stamp
• Tiddly Inks “Cat Fever” clear stamp
• Lawn Fawn “Puffy Star Stackables” Dies – Used biggest size for shaker window
• Die-Versions “Little Lizzie” die font – Die cut on pattern stamped pink cardstock to make a sentiment
• Memory Box “Banner Parade” – Used stars for decoration
• Stars Punch – Punched on gold metallic paper for shaker
• My Favorite Things “Stargaze” stencils – Used with “Tumbled Glass” distress ink for background
• Ranger Stickles “Star Dust”

All stamped images were colored with distress ink. The night sky scene was also created with distress ink “Tumbled Glass”, “Salty Ocean”, and “Black Soot”.

Here it is when shaking…

I entered this card to these challenges:

• 7 Kids College Fund Challenge # 122 – Anything Goes
• All About Magnolia Challenge # 1 – Anything Goes
• As You Like It Challenge – Line or No-Line Technique. For this card, I preferred “Line” technique so that it would be easy to cut the stamped images out and assemble on the card.

• One Crazy Stamper April Challenge – Anything Goes
• Scrapy Land Challenge # 15 – Anything Goes
