Twist and Pop for Christmas

Hi

I am here today with a card that I had been wanting to try for a while and finally got round to doing it! Its a twist and pop card and the tutorial is from the Kaisercraft blog and its so simple yet effective...ive added the link below.

Kaisercraft Blog Twist and Pop card

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

Magnolia-licious Challenge blog- Mini challenge
Midweek Magnolias- Anything goes with a Magnolia image
Noor! Design UK challenge blog- CAS or fully loaded


Now Although there is a regular size Tilda on the front of the as I tried a mini and she looked a bit lost but on the inside there are four mini Magnolia stamps which I just think are the cutest...esp that front door scene.

I colored all the images with Distress inks. The papers are Maja Design from last years Christmas release. The band around the middle of the card is held in place by some velcro. I used a Spellbinders stocking die for the socks on the front of the ban. The mini string of socks on the inside is from Noor!Design UK. The gold sparkly paper is from my local craft shop.

On the front of the card I added some structure paste and a snowflake stencil  (new addiction!), which can also be found at Noor! design and I sprinkled this when wet with some holographic embossing powder. Behind the main image you can see a LDRS die which is one of my fave dies to use.

To hold the stockings on the front in place I added some rhinestone brads and I like these as they allow movement which looks like the stockings are swining.

On all the images I added some glitter glue as sparkle is always needed and esp at Christmas!

To finish off I added a stocking charm.

Hope you have a great week.

I colored Tilda with Distress Inks. The papers are from Maja Design 'Walk in the Forest'. All the dies are from Magnolia, the die club. I love the leaves and made these 3d with mounting tape. I edged the image, papers and the die cuts with Distress Ink 'Vintage Photo'.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I never thought that coral flowers and green would go well together but they kinda pop off each other!

The sentiment inside the card is from Lili of the Valley.

Book of spells..

Happy first of the month people!

Wow can you please it is October! where this year has gone I have no idea, in a blur of packing boxes and paper I think!

So I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia- Anything goes
Magnolia-Licious Challenge blog- Halloween challenge
Midweek Magnolias- Anything goes with a Magnolia image
Deep Ocean Challenge blog- Anything goes
Paradise of Magnolia- Sprakle and Shine

For this card I used the fabulous Wizard Tilda, she is just the best and I love her to bits. Defo another fave of mine there! I coloured Tilda with Distress Inks. The papers are an older Graphic 45 collection and still I love them...none really does steampunk and Halloween like Graphic 45.

The dies...oh the dies...how I do love dies! Right, well the shape of the card is my usual, Go Kreate shape. The spiders web and the chicken wire are both from the Magnolia Die club. The Book at the bottom is also from a Magnolia die club and which witch is without her book of spells...you can even see pages from Tilda's spell book around her so you can see what potion she is making up!

The bats are from La La Land Crafts and I sprayed these little guys with glimmer mist.

The sentiment and the books flying round Tilda (dont think her spell is going quite to plan!) are all from the awesome Kraftin'Kimmie Stamps, as is the little guy stamped inside.

The hat and the witches washing line are dies from Impression Obsession. I love this washing line! These are also coated in glimmer mist.

I edged the die cuts with Distress Inks 'Vintage Photo'.

Behind the spiders web I popped some cheese cloth to add to the web effect.

The book I just pasted on one of the tags from the paper pad to make Tilda a spell book. On that I popped some specs.

On the books, the stars and her trail left by the stars from Tilda's spell I used gold and fairy dust glitter glue.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Once upon a time....

Hi

Today I am here with a fairy tale themed card. Again I have tried my hand at just using dies....not as easy as one first thought!!!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia- Anything goes
Deep Ocean Challenge blog- Anything goes
Magnolia Forever - Monochrome
Paradise of Magnolia- Sparkle and Shine
Paradise of Stamps- Fairy
Noor! Design UK challenge blog- Flowers and Lace

The papers that I used for this card are some of my fave papers that Pion have ever done, the Paris Flea Market. They are so versatile yet delicate and beautiful. I thought that they were perfect for a fairy tale card, all that dreamy pink!

On the darker pink die cut that the castle is on I embossed it with a heart embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

The dies I used are all Magnolia except for the shape of the card which is from Go Kreate. On the castle I used some crackle paint in 'Rock Candy' from the Distress Ink range. I sprayed the die cuts with glimmer mist and edged them with Distress Ink 'Vintage Photo' to make them stand out. I think it works great on the cat! I kinda imagined the cat to be like Salam from Sabrina the Teenage witch! This cat even has glittery whiskers!

I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts as are the moon stone brads.

The sentiment is from Magnolia also. On the sign post die I added mini alphas to read 'Fairy tale'

The resin corner is from Prima and can be found at Live and Love Crafts.

Every fairy tale needs bling so I added some rhinestones to the castle and the sign post.x

The lace trim is from Noor! Design Uk and I love the girly-ness of this trim!

To finish of I added a charm of the ultimate fairy...tinkerbell!

Hope you have a magical week ahead!

Hi

Today I am here with a card that is slightly different for me...not image and all dies! I am trying to you this kinda card more!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

All about Magnolia Challenge- All about Doohickeys
Deep Ocean Challenge blog- Anything goes
lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia- Anything goes
Simply Magnolia- Anything goes
The ABC Challenge blog - 'P' is for Pearls

The dies I used for this card is a mix of die clubs but mainly the Buzz die club that was a release a couple back. I love the little bees and the hive...isnt it just the cutest! I wanted my card to be nestled into the leaves of a tree...theres a whole little community in there the beese going about their business.

The papers are from Craft and You and can be found at Noor!Design shop. These papers are now one of my faves and play a lot in my crafting.

All the die cuts were edged with Distress Inks ink pad 'Vintage Photo' and sprayed with glimmer mist.

The sentiment is from a La La Land Crafts and its true!

I used some skeleton leaves to add texture and to make the bees stand out along with the hives I used double sided tape to make them pop, and added a flat back pearl to them.

On the inside of the card I used my fave die of the collection, its an embossing one and leaves a little print of the bees path.

Hope you have a great weekend.

let pop a bottle!

Hi there!

Today I am here with a card that is for my father in laws birthday. Male cards are always hard and for this gent even harder as he defo doesnt like all the fancy bits and bobs!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges-

Simply Magnolia- Anything goes
lovely hAnglar or sweet magnolia- Anything goes
Marvelous Magnolia Challenge blog- Ribbon or lace
Paradise of Magnolia- Show us your colours
The Ribbon Girl challenge blog- Sept challenge- Anything goes
All about Magnolia challenge blog- All about Doohickeys


This card I chose an Edwin of course as its a male bday card. This end I think is perfect for male celebrations and he looks so dapper. I coloured only part of this image...the hair and skin. I used Mr. Toms paper collection from Pion and paper pieced the outfit. Something I havent done in a long time but realised again how much fun it can be to do it. Note to self do more!

The dies....well 8 of them are from Magnolia...I do love a good die! The shape of the card is from Go Kreate and I cannot remember where the star hidden behind the cake is from.

The sentiment is from a La La Land Crafts stamp and goes so well with this...well it is a birthday!

The cake, the balloons, tags and the loopy die cut border are all embossed by a cuttlebug embossing folder which is a dotty one.

Around the die cuts I edged them all with Distress Ink.

The balloons string is twine.

Finally I added some gold glitter glue to the champagne bubbles and to Edwin's buttons and some blue rhinestones so the cake and balloons.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.
