Dandelion Tilda Get Well Card

Hi Magnolia fans! Marvelous Magnolia challenge is back from winter/spring break. We have changed our format to be a monthly challenge. Today it’s my turn for the midway reminder post. The theme for June challenge is

Anything Goes

I have made a get well card using “Dandelion Tilda” stamp from Magnolia Spring Fever 2016 collection. I use my favorite light blue color as it gives a refreshing feeling when it combines with yellow and gold. The die cuts are from vintage box, Doohickey, and Spellbinders.

 Here is the close up for Tilda.

Wedding Photo Frame

Hi everyone! Today, it is time for the new challenge at Magnolia Forever. The theme is

Wedding

The project for this challenge is the wedding gift for my friend. I made a 4x6 inch photo frame using “Wedding Tilda” and “Where is My Bride Edwin” stamps from Special Moments 2013 collection. When putting photo into this frame, I want the photo to be focal point so I just add only few decorations at the corners.

 Here is the close up for bride and groom.

I used Sizzix Tim Holtz “Small Easel” as a stand for this frame. The easel can be laid flat or easily assembled to display the photo

‘A Boy’s Life’ Distress Ink Storage Box

Hello everyone! Today I have a project for Magnolia Forever challenge to share with you. The theme for this challenge is

Boys

To match the theme, I wanted to use dark colour tone for this creation. When I went through the Edwin Stamps that I had, I came up with the idea for this project. I always colour the stamped images with distress ink so I would like to make a box to store them. I had total 17 ink pads (and many more in mini size) so I made a storage box with 18 slots. Since I tend to buy more distress ink pads in mini size, just one empty slot will be enough. I also put my blog’s name on this box because it will be the treasure of my craft room.

The tray on the top is to store distress markers and some re-inker and paint bottles.

I used “Cool Edwin” stamp on one side of the box. The text was generated from computer with Graffiti font. This side represented a young boy who did anything he wanted just for fun no matter it was right or wrong.

On the other side, I used “Artist Edwin” stamp to represent a man who demonstrated his artistic skills in the positive way.

Both sides of the box represented a boy’s life. He might have made some mistakes when he was young. But he would learn and discover his strength to grow up to be a better man.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Cool Edwin” stamp from Sweet Rainbow 2011 collection
• Magnolia “Artist Edwin” stamp from Little Italy 2015 collection
• Lawn Fawn “Harold’s ABCs” clear stamp
• Hero Arts “Brush Strokes” stamp set
• Die-Versions “Marquee” font alphabet dies
• Magnolia Vintage Box 2^nd Edition die
• Black Cardboard
• Studio Calico “Cat” wood veneer
• Trims from La’boom

Here is the close up for young and old Edwin

Lastly, I would like to share my tips on how I store the blending foam for each ink colours. I add Velcro tape beneath each ink pads and stick the blending foam on the tape. However, if you store your ink pads by stacking them on each other, this technique will not work because Velcro tape and foam will make the ink pads not stacking together.

I would like to enter this project to these challenges.

Deep Ocean Challenge GDT – Bee Tilda with Kitty

Hi everyone! My previous project, the sakura garden paper bag, won the Spotlight entry at Deep Ocean challenge. Today I’ve got a wonderful opportunity to be the GDT for the new challenge. The theme is

Dots and/or Stripes

I used the dots and stripes pattern papers from my old paper stash. They were from different brands but the colours matched very well. I used the new Magnolia stamps, Bee Tilda and Kitty Kit from the latest Spring Fever collection. The colour combo was so bright and colourful So I think it would be suitable for the birthday card. 

Materials:

• Cheery Lynn Designs “French Pastry Doily” die
• Poppy Stamps “Happy Birthday Background” die
• Ranger “Tinsel Silver” embossing powder
• Embellishments – Paper Flowers, Ribbon, Pearl string, Gems, Twine, and Sequins

The stamped images were coloured with distress ink in pink and grey tone to match with patterned papers. Here is the close up.

I coloured the kitty with the inspiration from my blue Persian cat. He had very long hair but currently he just had his hair cut for the super-hot weather in Thailand.

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.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Kokeshi Tilda” stamp from Sakura 2015 collection
• Magnolia “Japanese Tree of Luck” stamp from Summer Memories 2012 collection
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 4 “Le Jardin” - Bamboo
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 6 “Harvest” – Bridge
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 8 “Pets & Animals” - Grass
• Magnolia DooHickey “Fruit Tree” die
• Magnolia DooHickey “Sakura Background” die
• Magnolia DooHickey “Sakura Branch” die

• Penny Black “Interlocking” die
• Ranger “Queen Gold” embossing powder
• Patterned paper from Sheena A bit of Oriental collection, Origami Paper
• Seam Binding – Hand dyed with Distress Ink “Worn Lipstick” & “Aged Mahogany”

Here is the close up for Tilda. 

Most decorations are in Japanese theme – origami birds, sakura branch, sakura trees and bamboo.
