Tilda

How do you like this die cut that Tilda is sitting on?  I love the design and how delicate it looks.  A couple of weeks ago I announced that I had won 100 pounds of merchandise from http://www.bunnyzoescrafts.com/.  I picked out mostly Magnlia stamps as I only had one and I had fallen in love with them.  I also got the Magnolia summer magazine which I couldn't find in any book stores.  I finaly got a card made with this Tilda stamp and used the new die cut that I had bought at http://www.bunnyzoescrafts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=79_96&sort=20a&page=2.  This company has such beautiful die cuts.  Why not visit Nikki at http:///www.bunnyzoescrafts.com and place an order?  She has super customer service and the shipping is very reasonable.  You can find Nikki's blog here http://bunny-zoes.blogspot.com/.  Thank you so much Nikki for pulling my number for the month of June!!

Dani Relaxing in the Garden

First of all, I want to thank everyone that has visited all of the blogs and I hope you will continue to follow.  This is the third and final day of the blog hop!  I created a card from Dani's Garden set from http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/.  Dani is so peacful reading her book with the dragonfly on her knee.  I colored the image with Copic markers and used Waterfall glittr glitter on Dani's dress and SunnyDaze glitter on the dragonfly.  I used Spellbindes dies to cut out Dani and then sponged inside of the die with a light turquoise ink. I used some lace that I found in my garage a few weeks ago.  The chipboard swirl is colored and covered with Waterfall glitter from http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/.

Framed Dani

Don't you just love Dani swinging in her garden?!  I embossed the white cardstock with Scrollworks embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  I then used wasabi green cardstock and Spellbinders dies to cut out a frame.  Dani is colored with Copic markers and I used two glitters from http://sparklensprinkle.com/ -- Sunny Daze and Autumn Medley for the sunflower.  I added some paper roses and a sparkly butterfly for bling.  Remember you can win Stamp Set 393 - Dani's Garden Swing.  We will be sharing ideas with you for 3 days using the Dani’s Garden Umbrella, Dani’s Garden Swing, Fairy Dust, Dream Fairy, and Garden Fairies stamp sets.

BLOG HOP

Lovely Tilda

Guess what?!  I won a shopping spree from http://www.bunnyzoescrafts.com/ for 100 pounds!  This is so neat and Nikki has lots of Magnolia stamps and other stamps plus loads of charms, ribbon, distress inks, stickles and so much more.  Plus she is the greatest with shipping fast, etc.  You should also check out her blog at http://www.bunny-zoes.blogspot.com/.  Wonderful ideas!  At present I only have one Magnolia stamp of Tilda.  I colored Tilda with Copic markers and die cut with the circle nestabilities.  I used Papertrey Ink melon berry cardstock, ribbon and button.  I used some of the lace that I found in my garage.   Once I receive my "shoping spree" order from http://www.bunnyzoescrafts.com/ I will really be posting cards with Tilda on them.  Be sure to go check out Nikki's store. 

My grandson, Ethan, is going to have a visit from the tooth fairy tonight!  He had lost his front upper teeth at age 3 when he and a table collided so he was really excited about this tooth!

12" cardstock

This has been a beautiful day here in Virginia!  I made this card the other day.  I was surfing and found this card (sorry I don't remember where) and decided to try it right then!  I used pattern cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 12 inches and scored at 2,4,8, and 10.  I layered the opposite side of the cardstock in the area that is 5 1/2 x 4,  I used Spellbinders labels to die cut the image from Impression Obsession and the red dies.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the birds. Why don't you try this card?! Very easy!  Great way to use that 12" heavier cardstock.

Dani relaxing

I made another card this afternoon using Dani's Garden stamp set from http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/.  This is one set that I really love and is being given away when the blog hop finishes on 6/5/10.  The stamp set is shown after the cards I made previously from this set.  Wouldn't you like to win?  Leave a comment on this blog and hop to the other blogs listed below and leave comments.  Then a name will be pulled and someone will win this lovely set!  I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol.  I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix die to cut out the swirly chocolate die.  This is the first time I have used the new ribbon I ordered. This ribbon has a thread on one side which you pull and it gathers up.  How easy is that?!  I topped the ribbon with a chocolate button and a small rose prima flower.  BTW, thank you, everyone, for all of the comments I have received during the blog hop.  I hope you will continue to follow my blog as it grows!

Dani Reading

This is such a relaxing card!  Dani is reading in her flower garden and enjoying the dragonflies!  I used a MS punch for the lattice and colored the images with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I also found this stash of old lace (had bought it at a yard sale years ago) in my garage.  A full bag of lace!  What do I do with that much lace?  Narrow, medium, wide, all sizes -- white, ivory, beige, a few colors.  Anyway, I took a piece of the ivory and colored it with crushed olive distress ink and put some of it on the card.  I love the way this card turned out!  Again, I used Sunny Daze glitter by http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/ on the dragonfly wings.  http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/ is also going to lauch a blog hop so stay tuned.  You may win a set of stamps and Dani's Garden Swing set is one of the sets that will be given away!

Swinging Dani

In this phot Dani is really swinging high!  I used Basic Grey pattern paper as the background and also made a small flower out of the paper.  I used MS punch for the leaves.  I added Sunny Daze glitter to the bees and the flower.  The yellow sure does sparkle!

Dani's swing

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone!  Isn't Dani in the sunflower swing gorgeous?  I stamped her with Momento black ink and colored her in with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I added Sunny Daze glitter by http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/ to the bees.  I also added light green pearls to the swing because I had to cover up a mistake.  There is never a mistake in stampig, right?!
