Yummy Yummy

Today i would like to show you something that was put together really fast, and a first at Pretty Pressings :-) a recipe! Tilda was already colored ( you can see the green colors in the coloring were supposed to match the DP i had planned to use her for) and cut out. A friend did a favor for me – she took my boys since i had trouble with the car. So, to give her a little something when she brought the kids back i have made those muffins.
To decorate one of the little bags, I stamped the Magnolia “loveletter” (Valentines or Love Collection) with brown Memento onto a cut out Oval shape from Neenah White paper (left the Nestabilitie on) added Tilda with pop up dots to the oval and decorated the tag with some Prima roses around the top. Well.. maybe a bit of a waste with the pearl stickers but i just loved the look of it.

So are you ready for my first posted recipe???Adults did like this muffin - for my 3 and 6 year olds they were not sweet enough - they like lots and lots of icing :-) The muffins are made in about 20 –25 minutes

Make It Campbells Instead

In my recent Magnolia kit i have received most of the goodies you can see on the card. I have stamped cute little 60's Tilda onto my favorite Neenah Classic Ultra white paper with Memento ink. The coloring was done very fast, that’s why i have added some extra interest with Shimmerz paints in Gold glimmer and Pixie Dust. I 'cleaned" my brush off around the Kraft CS so it just randomly glimmers too.

Witchy Greetings

The papers are the new Magnolia papers and have been sent to all the DT’s – there should be plenty of inspiration for those cute stamps and papers be on the blogs. I have created those big scallops with my Stampin up 1 3/8 circle punch but before i have punched it out i ran the black paper once though the Swiss dot embossing folder. I have gotten many wonderful flowers in my DTkit but as usually :-) i kind of like it simple so i just spritzed the entire card with Shimmerz “Babies Breath” and the black flower got a separate treatment on a piece of scrap paper and i tucked it under the big bow.

Iam sure you have seen that the Magnolia DT has received their stamps to make cards with. For my first card i have chosen this cute Tilda, just because i wanted to show you how versatile she is.

So, why not get “Devil Tilda” and be prepared to get some Valentines cards made ahead of time?!

Inge and Claudia Challenge - Groulish Treats

Hello and a wonderful start into the new week. My project was made for a challenge my wonderful friend Inge came up. She had the idea to make a box. Please, check out her cute Magnolia box sample!!!! The template included a little lid, but i left that one out and just created a little handle with my Martha Stewart web punch, so i was able to fill the box with some items, that i want to give to a friend.

The orange flower i have painted with Shimmerz “Pumpkin Pie” for extra bling. For the lollipop and the candy in the bottle i have used Stampin up’s stamp set “Happy Boo To You” since i needed Halloween text stamps.

this flower has a treatment of Shimmerz spritz Licorice :-) love that look and the spider is crawling up on a silver string. I have tried to place both spiders so they would cover some parts of the lined up papers

Holiday Wishes

I have stamped this cute Tilda with Memento ink onto Neenah Classic Ultra white CS colored her with Copic markers in and used Nestabilities (Oval large and Oval small) to cut her out. It is hard to see but the brown layer of paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder than i have added some felt snowflakes and pepped them up with red buttons. See those yummy red glass gems i have added in the upper right corner.. i received from Carole a bunch of them in all different colors. Love them! They are by Kars, a German company.

Copic Gift Idea

Hello and a wonderful Monday. Today i would love to show you a quick gift idea for Christmas. I stamped on the clear Acetate box (got that box from my local store who carries Copic Markers) several of the Magnolia snowflakes with white Stazon.

To the big squiggely Snowflake i have added into the center a rhinestone for sparkle. The focal point image is kind of like a "ornament". I have fold my CS and than cut with my scalloped Nestabilitie a little overlapping, this way the Old Olive layer can be opened and the personal note can be written on the inside.

Hugs and Kisses

To find a paper that worked nicely with the tin, was not very easy. Luckily i have found this old Heidi Grace paper in my stash. I don't really know why i was buying it at the time.. i guess cause it sparkled so pretty silver?! The pattern is totally useless for cards :-( after i had cut the papers to size the circle sentiments were not to read at all. i have used several sizes of my Nest abilities on the paper and cut with a e-xacto knife randomly circles out and layered an other piece of DP paper underneath to create some sort of layout. After that i added sewing and the embellishments - layout copied off the tin.

You're My Prince Charming

What a big leap from Winter to a Valentines themed project lol. Well... i had started this already a while ago and never quite finished it. Tomorrows challenge made me just work on it again and finish it up. I have bought this candy box this year for my husband at Target around Valentines. It featured a big frog in the center, which i have covered up with a sheet of Making Memories silver foil and Tilda and Edwin. Some text about the chocolates is hidden behind the flower to the right. To tie the silver and hot pinks of my tin into my work i have painted the pink ribbon with Shimmerz "Bubble Gum" and the flower centers with "Ho-Ho Silver" paint.

I would love to show you the inside of the tin. Mine is intended to give to a paper crafting friend that's why, i have not removed the plastic insert, where the chocolates were. I used those to hold felt flowers, beads and buttons. In the biggest section i have added some "special" flowers which i have spritzed with Shimmerz Babies breath and Licorice.
