Magnolia Down Under + Papertakes Challenges

I've finally got around to making another card, seems like ages since the last one!! This card fits the Papertake challenge of Something New, both the Magnolia Tilda stamp and papers are new and the Magnolia Down Under challenge which is to use a stamp or something for another use. This Tilda and the papers are from the So Jolly Winter Collection and I have used them to make a birthday card so I think this counts! The flowery swirl has been cut on the Cricut (I am determined to us it more this year) and I have added lots of Stickles to give a bit of sparkle. Tilda has been coloured with Distress Inks and I added punched photo corners and pearls. Not a very good photo I'm afraid but the light is really bad here today, if you click on the photo it shows the true colours a lot better!
I hope the weather is getting better wherever you are, it is starting to thaw here at the moment.
Have a good evening.Supplies

Cute Card Thursday 'All New' Challenge

This week's challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to use some of your new crafty goodies (hopefully you got some for Xmas!) on your card. I got a few stamps and also the Magnolia Winter Stampclub kit so I just had to use this super cute Edwin. I stamped Edwin and then used a mask when I stamped the steps. The stars are also from Magnolia and have been stamped onto Basic Grey Anarchic papers and then cut out. I punched a couple of holes on the larger star and tied a piece of string through it.
I hope you are managing to get out and about in the snow! Have a good Thursday - hopefully the schools will be open today.Supplies

Magnolia Tilda Card

I made this card earlier and it fits in with 4 challenges, not bad going for me at the moment!!! I have used this gorgeous Vintage Tilda stamp from the Magnolia Jolly Snowy Collection, coloured with Distress Inks and some old K + Co papers. The heart has been cut on the Cricut, embossed in the Cuttlebug and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist to add some sparkle. I stamped the text onto the white flower and then added some Stardust Stickles to the roses.
We have had quite a lot of snow here overnight so the kiddies are off school and are out sledging at the moment and hubby hasn't been able to make it to work either! I hope you are having a good day and that the snow isn't affecting you too badly.The challenges this card is for are
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Hearts
Everybody Art Challenge - Favourite Colour Combo (Mine is Blue + Brown at the moment)
My Time To Craft - Blue + Brown Combo
