Christmas Morning Magnolia Card

This is the new card that I made with one of my new Magnolia stamps. My DH just ordered 5 more of the Magnolia stamps for me. I really love this stamp I think it would make a nice card not just for Christmas.

This is card was made using the Magnolia Stamp: Christmas Morning Magnolia. It was colored in with Copic Markers: G21, 24, 28. Y11, 19. W1, 3. C1. E11, 13, 25, 29,47, 49. The image was punched out the the Nestabilities Classic Oval Lg and the scallop was cut with the Cricut using the Lacy Labels cartridge. The flowers were also cut with the Cricut and the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge, then airbrushed with the Copic ABS using Y13, 26. The border punches are by Martha Stewart: Arch Lattice and Doily Lace. It is also accented with ribbon and rhinestones.

This is a close up of my image. I am not Copic Certified but would love to take the class when/if it makes it close to our area. The closest one now is in Columbus, Ohio but it is during the week. I hope it makes it a little closer.

I entered this card is the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Ribbon Challenge at: http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/

Tilda with Easter Hat Card

This is a new card that I made with a new Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Easter Hat. I am really loving the Magnolia stamps. I just received two more called Sweet Tilda and Tilda Carrying Lamb. I made a list of all the ones that I like and buy a few at a time. This is a very simple card to make. I used a large print background paper and accented it with Stickles and Spica markers, boy do I love these markers they just flow sooooo easily. I also added rhinestones all around. The Copic markers used were: E00,11,13,47,49. R81,83,85, and Spica markers: #02,07.

Be Happy Gate-fold Card

This is a video showing how to make a gatefold card without using any type of diecut machines. I only used my cutter, decorative scissors, a stamp and 3D stickers. I like to make things that anyone can make if you are a beginner with limited supplies.

Coloring Flowers with the Copic Markers

I recently purchased the Copic airbrushing system and have had a bunch of fun playing with it. I found that I now love to make my homemade Prima type flowers in white and coloring them with the Copic markers to match my images. I next want to play around with coloring background paper. I first purchased the starter set with the aircans, but very soon found that I needed a air compressor. I need to practice so the cans do not last very long for me. I will still keep a can on hand in case I want to take it on the go. So have fun playing today.
