Valentine Tilda

Here is my card for this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge which is 'In The Name of Love. I have used a Magnolia image, Cupid Tilda, a tree which I cut with the Cricut Heritage cartridge and some mini hearts (also Cricut). The papers are Bo Bunny and Tilda has been coloured with Distress Inks.
Another bad week of blogging and a lack of card making!!! I always seem to be so short of time these days, although I do have quite a good excuse I think this week as hubby and the kids have bought me a Gypsy for my birthday on Monday. I've been busy playing with that and think I am just about getting used to it.
Have a good Thursday and a fabby Valentines Day!!

Cute Card Thursday 'Spots and Dots'

This weeks theme at Cute Card Thursday is Spots and Dots. I have used Magnolia stamps from the 2008 School and Travel Collection and also Magnolia papers from the Yummy Tummy Collection. The train is cut with the Cricut and Bazzill Card.
I'm not sure about this card but I haven't felt like crafting as I have had a some sort of virus and have been feeling yukky most of the week. Luckily I'm starting to feel better now although I have passed it onto hubby!!
My new Magnolias from the Through my Heart collection arrived from Sir Stampalot yesterday, they are gorgeous especially Wilma the Dog and I can't wait to make a card using this image tonight.

This is my DT card for the Cute Card Thursday 'Blooming Gorgeous' Challenge but I am also entering it into the following 2 challenges as it fits their themes, My Time to Craft 'Elegant Rose' Challenge and A Spoonfull of Sugar 'Open' Challenge.
I stamped the Magnolia So Spooky Tilda and coloured her with Distress Inks, distressed the edges of the papers and added lots of gorgeous flowers and a couple of pearl sprays.

I've finally got round to making a card, instead of just playing with the Cricut Design Studio!! This card will fit this weeks MDUC of Valentines and the Quixotic Challenge 'Ink Up An Old Stamp'. I have used a Magnolia image which I think is a couple of years old and some Yellow Bicycle papers. I have coloured Tilda with Distress Inks and the heart has been cut with the Cricut and embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, Vintage Writing.

Cute Card Thursday 'Pink + Grey Colour Combo'

This week's challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to use pink and grey on your card, I must say I found this really difficult as I'm not a pink girl!!! I have used an old Tilda on my card which I bought about 18 months ago and have only just got round to inking up - how bad is that? The papers are also some old ones which I found in my stash and I have just added some flowers, leaves and butterflies. As usual Tilda has been coloured with Distress Inks and the labels are cut with Nesties.
I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize.

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
