Cupid Tilda Sculpture Valentine’s Card

Hello everyone! To share with you today is the card I created for Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for February challenge is

Love/ Valentine        

I wanted to create a Valentine’s card in a different style. This card was inspired by fine arts cupids and angels sculptures I had seen in the museum. So I created this card in vintage monochrome look except the red heart to make red color pop out. I used die from Magnolia Vintage box 4 and Magnolia paper to cut the card base. The heart tags die cuts are from Doohickey box 5. I decorated the card with ivory ribbon, rhinestone button and antique gold charm to match with the vintage style.

This cute cupid is Magnolia “You Are My Valentine Tilda” stamp from Lovely Duo 2015 collection. I colored the image with distress ink as usual but it was quite challenging for this one as I wanted this Tilda to look like cupid sculpture. And I was satisfied with the result. I used only 4 colors for this image.

Cupid Tilda – Pumice Stone, Black Soot

Heart – Barn Door, Black Soot

Background – Gathered Twigs

The sentiment is also the stamp provided in this Tilda stamp kit. The frame die cuts for both image and sentiment are from Spellbinder Majestic Label Eight dies. The cupid charm is from Magnolia webshop.

I decorated the card with white and gray paper flowers to match with monochrome card. I also added red Gypsophila heart to match with red heart in the image.

PND Ellie with Stocking

Baby, it’s cold outside

I chose blue and brown color combo for this winter card. I used simple card design layered with scalloped rectangles, snowflake die cuts from Doohickey, ribbon, and trim. The patterned paper is from Pion Design and I hand-stitched around the edges.

I used the image from PND called “Ellie with Stocking”. The image was colored with distress ink in the same color combo.

Pastel Warm Winter Wishes

Hello crafty friends!

First of all, I would like to introduce my Etsy shop selling my handmade cards that I just opened early this month. You can find my shop by clicking the top badge on the right hand side of blog page or following the link here.

Today I have a card I made for The Paper Nest Dolls to share with you. I used the new image called “Avery with Hot Chocolate” which was just released in Dec last year.

I wanted to create a different winter card with some pastel colors. So I used pink and mint green color combo. The image was colored with distress ink in the same color combo.

To keep this card (quite) clean and simple, I decorated the card with ribbon, die cuts, and enamel dots. The poinsettia was made from die cuts from Magnolia Vintage box 4 and fern die cuts were from Doohickey volume 7. The sentiment is the stamp from LDRS.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

Snowflake Pop Up Card

Hello! Today I have a card I created for reminder post at two Magnolia challenges. The first one is Magnolia Forever with the theme

Christmas/ Winter

And Marvelous Magnolia challenge with the theme

Anything Goes

For this card, I only used die cuts on the front cover. The poinsettia was made from die cuts from Magnolia Vintage box 4. The snowflake background and sentiment die cuts are from Poppy Stamps. I used some glitters on die cuts to add sparkling touch to the card.

When opening the card, Tilda and snowflakes will pop up. Both Tilda and snowflakes were attached to the pop up part. I made the spiral pop up by following the tutorial here. I stamped the background paper with snowflake stamps from Magnolia Vintage Box 4 and “X-Mas Snowflakes” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection.

This cute Tilda is from “Tilda with Sock Puffs” stamp from Aspen Holidays 2016 collection. I used masking stamp technique to make her sitting on “the Christmas Lace Bench” stamp from the same collection. The stamped image was colored with distress ink. I also attached tiny snowflake over her palm using acetate stripe.

The sentiment is from LOTV stamp which I heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Christmas Window card

Hello! To share with you today is the card I made for Addicted to Stamps last challenge of 2017. We will come back in 2018 with some little changes. By the way, the theme for this year last challenge is

Season’s Greeting

I have made this window card to fit this challenge theme. I designed the card layout like a house decorated with Christmas wreath and garland. Looking through the window, we can see three cats helping each other decorating Christmas tree outside the house.

I used the stamp from Crafter’s Companion Mulberry Wood. This stamp is called “Purr’fect Christmas”. I colored the image with distress ink. The cats’ colors are exactly the same as my three cats. I also added some glitters on snow, garland, and star and applied some snow paste on the falling snow. The window was made from acetate sheet which I stenciled little snowflakes with gesso.

I decorated the top part with cute Christmas wreath, garland die cut from Doohickey volume 17, and Impression Obsession Holly Leaf Cluster die cuts.

As this is the window card, the front cover is clear and the image is inside the card. The top part is the blank space to write greeting message.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

Fall Heart Shaped Easel Card

Hello crafty friends! Today I would like to share a card I made for Magnolia Forever November challenge. The theme is

Girly

I wanted to create something sweet for this challenge. I had ordered a few Magnolia boxes sometimes ago but didn’t have a chance to use them. So I combined them together to make this card. The heart shaped card base is from Magnolia Vintage box 5. I decorated this card with many die cuts. The big tree and apples die cuts are from the latest Doohickey volume 16. The bushes with hearts die cuts are from last year Doohickey volume 9. The fence die cut is from Pop Up box 2.

This Tilda is Magnolia “Market Tilda with Fruits” stamp from From Farm to Market 2017 collection. There are also some fruit stamps in this kit. I mask-stamped some apples in the box that Tilda is carrying to match with the die cuts. The stamped image was colored with distress ink.

I also decorated the card with paper flowers, some berries, ribbon, and charm.

As this is an easel card, the front cover can stand.

Inside the card, there are small heart die cuts and a sentiment stamped from Lawn Fawn clear stamp set.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

• As You Like It Challenge – Christmas or Non-Christmas. Non-Christmas! I live in Thailand where the weather is hot all year so Christmas isn’t very popular here. I prefer to create non-Christmas cards as they are more versatile to be sent to my friends.
