Little Italy Doo Hickeys

Hi there Maggie friends, 

How are things going?  My little guys went back to school this week and it is so quiet around the house! 

The new Little Italy Doo Hickey dies arrived in my mail box today... so cute! 

I've used "Oregano and Basil" and "Parsely and Rocket salad" for this card. 

The stamp is "Venice" from "With Love" collection of 2013

I've coloured the image to look a bit old and sepia. 

Well .... there is more to come! I'd better get colouring ;) 

Sweetness Angel Tilda

Hey there, 

I had a massive clean up of my craft room this weekend - wow - how on earth did I manage to accumulate so much stuff? It is a really good feeling to clear it all out and actually realise what is in there. I could actually see my desk for once, well, for a little while anyway ;) 

Still having fun playing with these new stamps over here.... This is Sweetness Angel Tilda from the new A Touch of Love collection. 

I have coloured her with Copics and fussy cut. She's really cute! I think she has to be my favourite for this collection.. but I still have a few more to colour yet so that is still open to change. 

The papers are Kaisercraft. Die cuts are a mix of Magnolia Doo Hickeys and Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts. 

Ribbon and flowers are a mix from Ribbon Girl and Live Love Crafts. 

My little guys are still home on summer school holidays..... three weeks to go! 

They've been enjoying a few crafty days too. 

I'm sure I'll be back with another card orr project to share soon.

Until then, have a great week xx

Cloudy Tilda

Hi all...

I've been playing with the new stamps from the A Touch of Love collection :) Aren't they all just adorable?  This one in particular stood out to me and I had to colour her first. 

Meet Cloudy Tilda.

I'm back colouring with my Copics. I missed how easy they are to blend with. 

The background paper is Magnolia.  The cute sentiment "I'm right here with you" comes with the stamp club if you had preordered it... otherwise, they will be available soon at your favourite retailer or Magnolia's webstore ----->  HERE

This is a bit of a CAS card for me, not much on it other than some die cuts, twine and rhinestones (in this case, Magnolia Knick Knackeries).

Did you pre-order the stamp club?

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with these cute new stamps!

Happy New Year friends!

Starting off the new year with a pretty little card. 

Again Tilda has been water coloured. Still practising. 

She is such a sweet little stamp. I was getting impatient waiting for the new stamp club to hit my mail box with the Christmas mail and public holidays so I pulled out this older one to play with. 

She is from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection of 2012.

The papers are from Maja Design. Lots of different dies to embellish as well. 

I hope you had a lovely New years eve whatever you were doing. 

I did finally receive the new stamps so I have been playing with those too.... I hope to have something to share with you soon.

Rose cake Tilda

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break. 

Ours was very relaxing. 

I spent a little time at my craft desk whipping up a little birthday card with this sweet Tilda "Rose Cake" from the Boho collection. 

The papers are a bit of mix, as are the die cuts.

The card edge has been punched using a MS punch around the page set. 

Little Tilda has been painted with DIs... yes I still need a lot of practice. She was stamped using Memento Summer Sky ink to give the 'no lines' look.  I've used Archers "Smooth" Watercolour paper.

I really like this stamp. I've always wanted to try a Swedish Princess cake :) 

Winner of Advent day #1

Welcome back! I am so glad to see you enjoyed the project I had to show you on Tuesday. 

I will announce the winner of Day 1 at the end of the post. 

I'm still busy working away making Christmas cards here :) 

I have been dying to play with the adorable little scene background from the Doo Hickey club and finally had a chance to put a card together with it. 

I coloured up the cute little Sitting Mary Christmas from So Jolly Collection 2009 to go with it and added quite a few other Doo Hickey cuts to embellish. 

Mary is coloured with Copics and the papers are Maja Design. 

So without further ado - 

the winner of Magnolia's Christmas Advent Day #1 is

Magnolia's Christmas Advent Day #1

Welcome to the first day of Magnolia's annual Advent Calendar. 

I am very pleased to start of the celebration this year with my altered mini cutting board.

I coloured up Joyful Tilda from the 2012 A Christmas Story collection and placed her on the painted cutting board. 

Some close up pics of the Doo Hickey dies used to decorate

The edges of the board have been embossed with "Frantage" and white gesso 

More detail of Joyful Tilda,

Please leave a comment to be in the running to win a secret prize from Magnolia! 

And keep watching for the rest of Magnolia's DT for their beautiful creations throughout the month.

Thank you for coming to visit and I will be back in a couple of days to let you know who the winner is :) 

Merry Christmas  

Hope

Hi friends, 

I am battling a virus at the moment and feeling quite crappy so this  little tag seems to be fairly appropriate to share. 

These are some little mini stamps from the Pink and Blue Ribbon donation collection 2014.

I've usesd See no Evil, Hear no Evil and Speak no Evil Tildas for my "Hope" tag. 

The papers are Maja Design. Lace and embellishments are from the Ribbon Girls. 

Lots of Doo Hickeys used too. 

Have a great day xx

Tilda som Tomte

Yep, back again. I seem to be spending a lot of time at my craft desk lately. 

This is a very old Magnolia stamp from 2006 - Tilda som Tomte.  She is masked with Winter Fence from 2008 Santa collection.

I have coloured the little scene with DIs again, practice, practice, practice. 

The papers are Maja Design.

A lott of Doo Hickey die cuts to embellish along with some lace and ribbon. 

So another Christmas card to cross off the list! Loads more to come. 

Santa/Tomte

Happy Friday the 13th. It is only 6 weeks until Christmas so I am on a bit of a roll with the Christmas cards at the moment. 

This jolly fellow is Santa/Tomte from the 2007 Jul collection by Magnolia. 

He has been coloured with DI Walnut Stain to (hopefully) achieve a sepia effect. 

It is a little hard to see in the photo but I've stamped the background with a snowflake stamp in Versamark and embossed with white powder. 

The papers are Maja Design from last year's collection. 

Pinecone, pearls and flowers are from Ribbon Girl.

Sentiment is LOTV.

Die cuts are Tim Holtz, Memory Box, Doo Hickey and Go Kreate. A bit of a mix up this time. 

It was a heap of fun colouring up a really old stamp, this little Santa is adorable. 

I might have to get out my other older Magnolia stamps and see what I have hidden away. 

xXx

In the Snow Ski Tilda

It is a dark and wet day here today, Perfect weather for crafting. 

I pulled out my water colours for this card. Not something I'm 100% comfortable with and definitely need practice!  However I am fairly pleased with how this turned out. 

This is In the Snow Ski Tilda from Winter Wonderland collection of 2013,

The papers are very old Basic Grey. 

The card is embellished with Doo Hickey dies and Tim Holtz dies. 

So a little bit of fun and obviously more practice is needed. 

Ohhh, I wish I had more time up my sleeve! 

Hugs, Kylie x

Santa waiting for Christmas

Happy Friday friends, 

Oh dear, another dreary day here so I thought I'd brighten it up by putting together a card.

It is quite lightly embellished, which is a bit of a change for me. 

I did add some stitching and sequins for some fun. 

This adorable Santa and his chimney is from 2008 Santa collection from Magnolia. 

Both are coloured with Copics. I spent a lot of time trying to get some depth into the red. 

The papers are Maja Design. 

I hope to get back to my craft desk at some point over the weekend but I have an assignment that is due soon so I'd probably best do that... 

Until next time!

Snowy Cottage

Hello friends, 

Well.. today I didn't feel like doing much at all, no housework, no studies, nope, nothing. So I sat myself down at my craft desk for a little while and coloured in a cute little Magnolia stamp "Snowy Cottage" from the Waiting for Christmas 2014 collection. 

I have had a bit of a play with some of the amazing new dies from the Doo Hickey club too. They are just lovely. I think my favourite has to be the gorgeous snowflake. 

The card is cut into a circle free hand and to disguise the rough edges I distressed them and added a border cut from a Doo Hickey die. The papers are Maja Design.

Image is coloured with Copics markers. 

This was a fun card to put together on a rainy day. I wish I could get away with a few more 'crafting' days but something tells me the never ending washing and housework generated by two little boys won't allow that! 

Thanks for dropping by today

Frosty's Hat

Good morning everyone, I have a little project to share with you today. 

This is a little top hat that I made "Frosty's Hat".

I have used Doo Hickey dies to create and decorate the hat and one of the adorable new stamps from this year's Christmas collection, A Lovely Christmas. 

My hat was inspired by a Halloween hat that I saw on another blog this week, Lemoncraft.

Tilda is coloured with Copics

Pearl strand, mini pine cone and twine are from The Ribbon Girl. 

The lace is Websters and the ribbon is Stampin Up.

If you would like to see how I made my little hat, there will be a tutorial on the Magnolia DT blog later :)

Until next time, happy crafting!
