Tilda with Fern Basket & some Blog Candy

A new weeks starts and we have a little less than two weeks left until Christmas - Yikes!! I have 'finally' finished my Christmas cards but will probably make more and stash them away for next year.
Now to start on my granddaughters blanket.

Today, I have another Christmas card for you, this one is for the Just Magnolia challenge - it needed to be a Christmas card and so that made it easy. It is Tilda holding a basket of Christmas ferns... to create that, I punched a bunch of tiny ferns and glued them over the flowers in the basket. I also used a fair amount of glitter all over the card so it is nice and sparkly. I used some 3D stickers, gems and a charm to dress up the card... oh and I can not forget the little Santa hat - it was a bit smaller than I wanted, so I trimmed her hair a little so it would fit better.
The first picture shows the colors better for the second one turned out a bit too yellow.

That's about it for this one and thanks for stopping by.

Waiting Tilda in Pink

Happy Monday everyone. Whoa, what a busy weekend we had. I was coloring a Tilda and was drawn to the color pink so I decided to make a monochromatic card for the Just Magnolia challenge. It was fun to make, I followed the Friday Sketchers 76 Challenge design and thought it came out pretty good. I was challenged to find the right combination of designer papers to use and so decided to use the Cuttlebug on white to help the texture and design. I also used Liquid Applique on Tilda's scarf so that it puffed up and looked all soft and warm.


Supplies:
CS - Conquer
DP - DCWV

Punches - Fiskars, EK Success, Martha Stewart
Cuttlebug - Embossing folders Swiss Dot and Snowflakes

CAS Just Magnolia

I will have to say, at first, I was finding it hard to make a 'Clean and Simple' card for the Magnolia-licious Highlights challenge. I keep looking at it and thinking that it needs something here or there.... and then I have to stop myself and say "no, keep it simple".

I made two cards - the first one is a fall colored theme. I could not resist making a flower for the fall card, it just seemed like a good fit - I did Cuttlebug the gold portion of the flower to give it some added design. I used the Spellbinder Fleur De Lis die and some pearls to finish it off.


I wasn't going to add any design elements to the inside but I had already cut out a gold flower, so I decided to not waste it and create another flower for the inside too.


I was having fun, so I decided to make another card. This one has that 'fresh' look with white and a bold color. I used the Cuttlebug to create a design on white. Spellbinder dies and brads and it completed the card.


This paper matched the color scheme and was a clean and simple way to decorate the inside.


Thanks for stopping by, I would love to know what you think?
