It’s the first time I made a pop up card. wow! all those years of crafting and never came around it. I picked for the card 3 coordinating Tildas. The girls came out in different collections. You can see some slight changes in how Pauline drew the shape of the faces. I really enjoy seeing how the images evolve and change. Lately the eyes became much bigger, so we can add those tiny white dots. cute!

There will be issues published for special occasions like for Christmas, but for now the we highly anticipate some new adventures Magnolia is working on behind the regular stamp and die releases. I don’t want to spell the beans just yet, but the Design Team is working hard to make this something very worth for you to consider to purchase and be inspired by it. <br>I am TRYING to work on my given assignments which will be considered around Christmas, but the work as the be finished in just 3 weeks! OMG!!! I do have like 9 water colored images sitting on my craft desk but I am so blocked, I can’t even think of anything to do with them, the deadline isn't helping me either.

The card has been already shown from Magnolia on Facebook as Summer Inspiration, thank you, so I would like to show you today the card also.<br>You may remember the card style I have been making this card since probably 2008 my very first card used the first <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=23057">Princess Tilda where she is holding a frog</a> in her hands. The card folds up and in the inside you will have a square page where you can add matching images or just a plain sentiment. I skipped that part on this card since it was probably going to be photographed for the magazine anyways from the front only.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0O5pq1vyvN8/U44Mm80sdaI/AAAAAAAAYD4/52LTc8k-Rhw/s1600-h/Wassermann_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wassermann_1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wassermann_1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wWX-s98aAHQ/U44MnxNixlI/AAAAAAAAYEA/q64rxBhY9fg/Wassermann_1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="700" height="545"></a>Supplies used on my card:<br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=55111">Tilda Aquarius</a><br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=52983">Magnolia ink Double sided paper Blue vintage hydrangea</a><br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=31771">Magnolia Sentiment</a><br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=50902">LaLa Land Heart tree die</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=52081">Magnolia Doo Hickey Envelope die</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=44698">Doo Hickey Tildas tag</a>, Doo Hickey <br>Other: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=gesso">Gesso</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=pearl+stickers">pearl</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Prima+Marketing+">Prima Marketing flowers</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=49955">burlap</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=distress+ink+walnut">Distress ink</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=brush">Brushes</a>, Water colour paper, seam binding ribbon, Stickles, </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-FscYNFfRgLc/U44MovdEAqI/AAAAAAAAYEI/ocBhwKl2o6A/s1600-h/photo-2%25255B4%25255D.png"><img title="photo-2" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="photo-2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jWR4XjMd6ho/U44MpeJNjWI/AAAAAAAAYEQ/idg4XqOVVb4/photo-2_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="700" height="525"></a><br><b>Supplies:</b></p> <p align="center">1 sheet double sided Designer paper (DSP)<br>I used Magnolia ink, paper trimmer, 12” paper cutter, scoring tool, bone folder, Adhesive if desired<br>to finish card:<br>stamps, sentiments, ribbon, dies and flowers<br><b>Directions:</b><br>Step 1: Cut DSP to 11x11<br>Step 2: <br>Fold DSP into a triangle shape, by folding paper corner to corner.</p> <p align="center">… <a href="http://www.rosaswelt.blogspot.com/2014/06/diamond-envelope-card-with-tutorial.html">for full information how to make this card please visit me here</a><br>Thanks </p> Claudia Rosa ~ Pretty Pressingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09946949729055609628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191507498270955490.post-71202803309103629852014-05-30T13:01:00.001-04:002014-05-30T13:01:53.875-04:00Recipe book part II<p align="center">Hello, I finished the recipe book I was working on yeah!<br>Lots of pictures to share… unfortunately lighting was poor today and the book is so big its hard to fit it in the photo tent I have, so I hope you bare with me.

LOOOOOVE em! Especially all the food related ones.<br><br>I made for a friend of mine a recipe book after a lot of back and forth how to be able to actually get some sort of a usable book done I decided to ditch my original plan of using a word iron stand where you could flip pages (6x6) to a chip board type book. This may not be the kind she probably actually has out while cooking but it could still serve to collect some favorite recipes. I made sure I have lots of pockets, free space and tags to make notes on. By choosing this type of book, I limited myself to all flat embellishments. That was certainly a harder, if I had used the stand it would have been easier to find cute things to fill the pages up.</p> <p align="center">Anyways…off to the pictures and I promise I will make it short from now on <br><br></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-u1UNK32lU3U/U4IS17JP9xI/AAAAAAAAX94/5TcSsw4GK6U/s1600-h/recipebook_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="recipebook_1" style="border-left-width: 0px;

The colors of the bag reminded me of some Magnolia Design papers I have and I liked the shape of the box. Instead of going through the trouble of remaking the box I just painted it with <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Gesso&osCsid=0urem5p9s8c0nt0ae1h0fqmko2">Gesso</a> leaving on some edges peek the teal still through so my Designer paper was meant to be with the box.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-laQOqH9LPBc/U3O9Da7G_uI/AAAAAAAAX3U/7o4iIS0G0D0/s1600-h/bag_2%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="bag_2" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="bag_2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YFSadMDVhaA/U3O9EDyoG5I/AAAAAAAAX3g/PFtXlk7jV1g/bag_2_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="720" height="480"></a></p> <p>On the back side of the box I kept the original closure. I could have covered the lid as well but I wasn’t sure if I could trace the lip that closes the box as nicely back in. It works for me. Over the Gesso I just stamped with a background stamp some texture.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PtZbvdDzGC8/U3O9EyVwsqI/AAAAAAAAX3o/nu8TBEkzlT8/s1600-h/bag_3%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="bag_3" style="border-top: 0px;

It was already 5pm when I took the photos today but I know I will be busy over the weekend so I thought I give it a try anyways.<br>I got recently hooked on <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Mixed+Media">Mixed Media</a> Youtube videos.. spent hours watching them.

Than I used Faber Castell Gelatos and a water mist bottle to create my background. Faber Castell Gelatos worked well and were fairly inexpensive to purchase. I added die cuts (gift from Tammi) and some texture with modeling paste mixed with green paint and a <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=stencil">stencil</a>.

If you like to see the full set you can swing by my <a href="http://www.rosaswelt.blogspot.com/2014/04/salt-dough-idea.html">other blog</a> and have a peek. Thanks<br>Here is what I have made for the inside…. I have to admit I wanted to make something to add a gift card… a little boring <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nf3Y1hJn2T4/U2ErWD0Et3I/AAAAAAAAXx0/Z6vamibFr2g/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"> this one was more work but it was fun to make with the kids. So if you have a rainy day, try it out. I used to make salt dough as a kid all the time. Its so easy essentially its 2 part flour and 1 parts of Salt with 1 part of water mixed, shaped and dried either at a sunny window or on lowest heat setting in the oven over several hours.</p> <p align="center">Now if you like to stamp on the ornaments, gift tags or what ever you decide to make you would roll your dough out, stamp first and than cut the shape out with a cookie cutter. I was able to stamp some <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=42181">Magnolia Tilda images</a> onto my dough but haven't really figured a way out how to color them. I was about to play with my <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Prisma+color">pencils</a> but ran out of time. So here are for now just a few “plain” ones.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-o3F5srRbdXg/U2ErWwhSzTI/AAAAAAAAXx8/DiE4XdyiM3s/s1600-h/Salzteig_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Salzteig_1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Salzteig_1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YxukyYDJwHM/U2ErXTfQL-I/AAAAAAAAXyE/txu9YG5pr2E/Salzteig_1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="720" height="480"></a></p> <p align="center">I used the following Magnolia stamps to stamp on my tags/Ornaments:<br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=27152">A Merry Christmas</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=27147">25 North pole</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=33588">Frosty the snowman</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=27135">Merry Christmas seal</a>, </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JHo6GK1PpY4/U2ErYK1PZCI/AAAAAAAAXyI/1b2jJ2W-5es/s1600-h/Salzteig_2%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="Salzteig_2" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Salzteig_2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MddRhZNl9eg/U2ErYgoVJ7I/AAAAAAAAXyQ/wjh8nuEC_hY/Salzteig_2_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="720" height="480"></a></p> <h4 align="center">Here is a detailed <a href="http://spoonful.com/crafts/salt-dough-ornaments">recipe</a> how to make the dough</h4> <h4 align="center"> </h4> <h4 align="center">What you'll need</h4> <ul> <li> <div align="center">1 cup flour </div> <li> <div align="center">1/2 cup salt </div> <li> <div align="center">1/2 cup water </div> <li> <div align="center">Rolling pin </div> <li> <div align="center">Cookie sheet </div> <li> <div align="center">Toothpick </div> <li> <div align="center">Miniature cookie cutters </div> <li> <div align="center">Acrylic paints </div> <li> <div align="center">Glitter glue or glitter paint </div> <li> <div align="center">Ribbon </div></li></ul> <p align="center">Helpful Tip: <p align="center">If your toppers are large enough, you can make two holes in each so that you can thread ribbon through like a button, only showing a small amount of ribbon on the front. <p align="center">Notes: <p align="center">Uncooked salt dough doesn’t keep well, so only make enough dough for the ornaments you are going to make. If you are only making a few toppers, halve the ingredients above. The listed amounts will make enough ornaments for a classroom of 20. <p align="center">Variations: <p align="center">These make adorable pins to wear to school. Just don’t make a hole. Glue a pin back to the back of the completed ornament instead. <h4 align="center">How to make it</h4> <ol> <li> <p align="center">Preheat the oven to 250° F.</p> <li> <p align="center">Mix together salt, flour, and water until dough is formed.</p> <li> <p align="center">Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Do not add too much flour, as this will dry out the dough and will cause it to crack before you get a chance to bake it.</p> <li> <p align="center">Roll out the dough to about 1/4” thick with a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.</p> <li> <p align="center">Use cookie cutters to cut out as many ornaments as you want.</p> <li> <p align="center">Use a toothpick to make a hole toward the top of the shape. Poke the toothpick into the shape, then holding toothpick straight up and down, make a circular motion as if you were stirring something. Keep circling until the hole is the size you want. You can also use a straw or a stir stick to poke the hole.</p> <li> <p align="center">Place all shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet and place into the preheated oven.</p> <li> <p align="center">Bake for 2 hours.</p> <li> <p align="center">Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.</p> <li> <p align="center">Paint the ornaments.</p> <li> <p align="center">When paint is dry, use glitter glue or glitter paint to put a sparkling cover coat on your ornaments.</p> <li> <p align="center">When the glitter is dry, thread ribbon through hole and tie in a knot in the back.</p> <li> <p align="center">Hang on your tree or tie onto a package.</p></li></ol> Claudia Rosa ~ Pretty Pressingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09946949729055609628noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191507498270955490.post-36871141993131077732014-04-25T13:15:00.001-04:002014-04-25T13:15:12.380-04:00art supply gift giving<p align="center">Hello friends.. sorry for my dark pictures, all it does is raining today.</p> <p align="center">wow.. I can’t believe how fast this week has gone by! I have been in my craft room every day but it seams I cant get anything FINISHED. I am jumping from one thing to the next having a hard time wrapping at least one up. One of my dear online friends birthday is approaching and we always make each other gifts that involve lots of coloring. OMG why did we ever start doing this lol. Actually, no kidding I love doing it – once its done hahaha<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mnSjE3xkyAQ/U1qYEmT8irI/AAAAAAAAXvU/U_EB-UL4ziQ/s1600-h/art%252520supplies2%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="art supplies2" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="art supplies2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ykcqQQcuZM8/U1qYFvrM2NI/AAAAAAAAXvc/sT6a6o1YPaE/art%252520supplies2_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="700" height="420"></a></p> <p align="center">Since I haven’t received the newest Magnolia stamps yet (cant wait to see them) I searched in my <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=storage+box">Magnolia stamp storage boxes</a> for some stamps that I haven’t used yet. This <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=51903">cute princess</a> was the one I picked. I just love her and just happened that I saw at Michaels this cute canvas pouch in the $2 section with a crown on it. I thought it would make a great to “wrap” some basic and not so basic pens and coloring items up which I had plan to gift. The canvas bag is just the regular off white color but I spray painted it with some Tulip fabric paints alternative you could use your <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=distress+paint">Tim Holtz Distress paints (</a>light pink, baby blue with glitter and darker pink). I also stamped with some stamps onto the fabric. Than I wrote some words in <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=38772">pencil</a> onto the bag and once I was happy with it wrote over them with a black marker. I kept embellishing flat and simple because I didn’t want anything raising too high off the pouch. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-UXY6YEcOnCA/U1qYGBGxDzI/AAAAAAAAXvk/usA0LisVUF0/s1600-h/art%252520supplies_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="art supplies_1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="art supplies_1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8UsCl2KAz1o/U1qYHnxHrcI/AAAAAAAAXvs/BBaKL55JDKs/art%252520supplies_1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="700" height="467"></a></p> <p align="center">Here is what I used:<br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=51903">Tilda princess</a>, several Magnolia stamps (<a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=26971">music</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=51909">crown kit</a>)<br>Tulip fabric spray paints or <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=distress+paint">distress paints</a> ( I would suggest Raspberry, Spun sugar and Salty Ocean)<br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=37770">Fabric ink pad in brown</a><br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=42696">Tim Holtz embellishment</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=seam+binding">seam binding ribbon</a><br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=30282">white gel pen</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=45541">black pen</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=liquid+pearl">liquid pearls</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=31642">zip dry glue</a><br>super cute fabric with <a href="http://littledarlingsrubberstamps.com/">pearl applique was a gift from Angie</a> – I don’t know if she is going to order these to sell in her shop but you could ask her, I would think if many enough ask her for it that she considers.</p> <p align="center">Thank you so much for your visit<br>Claudia</p> Claudia Rosa ~ Pretty Pressingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09946949729055609628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191507498270955490.post-24691444849631409122014-04-14T19:17:00.001-04:002014-04-14T19:18:16.188-04:00Birthday calendar binder ~ final 7 months<p align="center">Hi there, <br>are you still with me on the calendar lol.</p> <p align="center">I promise I will make it short.. if you get tiered by the boring pages, imagine me coloring on the last 3 pages.

I wasn’t sure if I am going to show the photos on my blog, simply because it was such a pain to take photos of all the pages in the plastic sleeves. The photos don’t really do the book justice. I did make in fact 2 of those books… to give as Christmas gifts. This one went to Janice over at Sir Stampalot and since I hope she uses it as display I made sure to use all Magnolia stamps and images I haven’t colored in before. <br><br>Well.. lets get to the pages.. I will show half today and the rest next time so it doesn’t get too boring for you guys.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-LOgd5NaXss0/U0VzxjnD9zI/AAAAAAAAXk0/B-8GH0zOcc0/s1600-h/birthday%252520calendar_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="birthday calendar_1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="birthday calendar_1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7Maliy1AxsY/U0VzyLsfUPI/AAAAAAAAXk8/h99yP-vj44Q/birthday%252520calendar_1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="700" height="481"></a></p> <p align="center">So I started out with a 1.5 inch Office Depot/Staples brand ring book binder in white and covered it with pretty Magnolia papers.</p> <p align="center">The papers used are: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=35230">Magnolia ink quilt</a> and a paper from last <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/index.php?cPath=359_496">years valentines line</a>.

Just stick with a few basic colors and it will make the job much easier. Not saying that if you make the book all in one session you aren’t going to be annoyed with it on the 6th page lol.

Luckily there are some stores that sell a small selection of delicious chocolate.

Well.. not too happy with the coloring on this image. I had colored <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=52695">Tilda</a> in around December.. than the image got lost in the pile than I decided to go in with more colors while my youngest son took a shower. He still needs sometimes help to rinse his hair and just make sure he stays on task. If you know what I mean. Anyhow… I think I went with too much black into the image. It it’s filed under “a lesson learned”. lol</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Ue6fNHZGwBE/Uy8BZfHUYMI/AAAAAAAAXeo/5mVstnxA-jA/s1600-h/Easter%252520Greetings_1%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Easter Greetings_1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Easter Greetings_1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jdtG2kcZEXo/Uy8BaKF0GCI/AAAAAAAAXew/UbEVhMfweQ0/Easter%252520Greetings_1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="700" height="496"></a></p> <p align="center">Here are as always the supplies for you in detail if you are interested… Sir Stampalot has pretty much all you need<br>Stamps: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=52695">Tilda with her rabbit</a><br>Sentiment: I don’t remember<br>Papers: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=35232">Magnolia Ink yellow bunny</a> (Some Bunny Line), <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=40117">Magnolia Ink rosy butterfly</a>, <br>Dies: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=marianne+design+die">Marianne Design circle</a> to make the <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Joy+craft">shape and to make the doily behind</a> Tilda<br><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Spellbinder+circle">Spellbinder circle</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=44698">Magnolia Doo Hickey Tilda’s Tag,</a> <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=48224">Magnolia Doo Hickey Memory Tag</a> ,<a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=47981">Magnolia Doo Hickey Tilda’s Ticket</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Doo+Hickey+feather">Magnolia doo Hickey Feathers</a><br>Other: <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=frantage">Frantage</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=vintage+tulip">Magnolia Vintage Tulips</a>, Hobby House <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=47737">roses</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=54366">Martha Stewart Cla</a>y and <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=53899">mold ”Garden</a>”, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=49955">burlap/Jute String</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=pearl+brad">pearl brad</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=38038">Lace</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=versamark">Versamark Ink pad</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=13101">StazOn</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=water+colour+paper">water color paper</a>, brushes, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=foam+pads">foam or mounting pads</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=tacky+glue">glue</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=acryl+block">Acryl block</a>, <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Stickles+platinum">Stickles in Platinum</a>…</p> <p align="center">Speaking of <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=STK14">Stickles</a>..</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=STK14"><img title="2014-stickles-glitter-glue" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="2014-stickles-glitter-glue" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yNqgbBQpRMA/Uy8Ba7T-CEI/AAAAAAAAXe0/5aiyc35aPzQ/2014-stickles-glitter-glue%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="384" height="480"></a></p> <p align="center">Thank you all! mwah!</p> Claudia Rosa ~ Pretty Pressingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09946949729055609628noreply@blogger.com1
