A "Daisy" Kind Of Day ....

Hello :-) good morning... my card for today was quite a bit of work but oh it was fun to just sit and work on something that had not to be done fast. Carole who is the host for this weeks "Old Magnolia Challenge" picked retro Tilda. I love her very much and she inspires me a lot. For my card i used the wagon out of the Easter collection and inked just the bottom part - trying to avoid the eggs. Than i stamped Tilda a second time and just cut out the daisy's. i used some of them to add into the wagon. The "bigger" daisy is the smaller one out of a set of 2 (you can see the bigger daisy used in the inside) and just added those. The grass area is hand drawn.

Papers: Stampin up and Imaginice, Making Memories (pink polka dot)
Tools: Fiskars Apron lace punch
Embellishements: Shimmerz "Angle Wings" on the daisies; Stampin up ribbon, Making Memories button, Stickles on frame, Ranger white gel pen, Martha Stewart big pearl stickers
Please take a look at my friends cards who also have created a card using this image. If you like to join in our challenge each week.. feel free to use Carole's, Jaqueline's, Bea's or my blog to link your creation.

Tilda holding Tulip - Special Edition

Hello and a wonderful start into the new week. Today's card was made with a stamped image that i have received from my wonderful friend Jaqueline. I combined 2 challenges.. Cute Card Thursday's (tear, sew and distress) and "Stamp With Fun"!
For the inside i used the tulip Magnolia stamp that can be found in the Shabby Chic Collection and the sentiment is from the new Chasing Butterfly Collection. See that beautiful lace??? oh.. i love it .. Carole ordered it for me in Sweden and than sent it to me xxxx thank you so much.. i sewed that right to the paper, so it will not move.

Stamps: All Magnolia (i am not sure when this Tilda will go up for sale for all of us to buy. i think it was a Special Edition stamp for a store in the Netherlands!) sniff, sniff :-(
Paper: Basic Grey Wisteria, Cardstock by Stampin Up!
Tools/Embellishments: Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Satin Ribbon, Robins Nest,
Coloring: Copic

Today i also would like to tell you about a very special blog i have found :-) please make sure to check out Hannas Hobbyblog!!! Gosh.. her work is amazing..

Just sittin' here thinking of you...

Hello :-) this is a very clean and simple card that i have made for Magnolia Sweden with the supplies that were provided. The size of the card base was i think a invitation size. I forgot to measure it out. All what i have done was using my Cuttlebug embossing folder on a white piece of paper and embossed just half of it, so i was able to stamp this wonderful sentiment that can also be found in the Chasing Butterfly Collection on the flat bottom part of the paper. I tied a ribbon around the seam and added "Spring Tilda" with pop up dots onto the ribbon. Some lilac Robins Nest in the corners finish the card.

Embellishments: Orchid Robins Nest and Stampin up ribbon

Celebrate Today - Chasing Butterfly Collection

Hello, today i would love to show you a card that i have made for Magnolia Sweden. I got the flower paper but i wanted to make my card for the Friday Sketcher blog :-) so i used some of my own paper so i was able to create all the layers that the sketch asked for. It almost looks like it is from the same line (my Minds Eye). Again.. bad picture... :-( if it is cloudy outside i can not lift the shadows out of my pictures.
I do receive my Magnolia DT stamps unmounted - because we get so many supplies that it is just not so heavy for shipping. So when my stamps arrive i do mount my stamps on EZ mount. I used to purchase them on Ebay until i have found that 7kids offers Sunday International EZ mount as well and for a really fabulous price! Did you know that there is also thin EZ mount out there? I have started to unmount some of my Stampin up stamps and use the foam that the SU stamps come on and just mount them on thin EZ mount. Why wasting the foam right?
Embellishments: Shimmerz" Angle Wings" paint on the wings for shimmer, buttons: FoFaLa, Hemp by Stampin up
Other: Cuttlebug die
This card is made for this weeks Friday Sketcher Challenge blog. Please take a look what Carole, Bea, Heidi, Jaqueline , Kristine and Murmur came up with using the sketch for this week.
