Bildmalarna stamp :: Come and garden with me!

 Hey everybody! Our latest challenge over Bildmalarna blog is Red, Blue and yellow. I don’t know why my these combo just screamed gardening to me. Dirty jean with a nice little patch, a cool nice men’s shirt to keep down the mosquito bites but never loosing the femininity…nice sweet red shoes and yellow tiara! How do you like my little Gardner? Isn’t she precious?

I tried to keep this card simple, like I really can right? lol I decided to to a very colorful background for my Gardner. I used sizzix embossing folder and colored the flowers one by one. Yesss I am a nut! But I love color! I had to do it! And just because I was in the mood I added layers of this adorable Martha Stewart doily die cut plus a little bling bling!

So let’s make our corner of the work a little happier and a little more colorful join us for the challenge! I cannot wait what you will come up with! See yall soon! I need to check on my petunias!

much luv’

Magnolia Stamp :: Special moments :: 1st Eucharist

 Hello lovelies! I hope everybody is keeping busy enjoying their spring weather…or fall for our friends down south!

All right! “I feel good” just like James Brown! I am in the mood now to look into my stamped images and future buys from outside of the box. What does that mean? Well, it means give a new meaning to an image that was meant originally for another theme. In my new card I used Magnolia Wedding couple B. I simple cut out little Maggie out of the couple set ( I saved Edwin image for later…ha! Wait and see!) and dressed her up for her First Eucharist! I got my inspiration from my childhood friends. Growing up I had so many friends going thru this very important moment in their life, the 1st Eucharist. To create the look I wanted I made some adaptations to my Maggie. First I cut of the head crown then created a single flower bouquet with a cross (ideas of a little rosary). The flower is prima and the cross are glass bugle and pearl bead.  I added a little sparkle, to give a youth full but kept together for the occasion.

Oh yes, I have to mention that this is the very first time I am showcasing a little creation with my L letter press! I LOVE THIS THING!!! It is so chic…Seriously, when you use the cotton/paper and the de bossed look from the letter press, the card just reach new levels! I am definitely putting this baby more to use.  I just loved the polished background. This tool is a must for serious paper crafter.

My cross is a die cut from the silhouette library (resized and reshaped). I loved the way this cross came out. I first used my copics to bring some dimension then I applied embossing powder just in the cross itself, so the center of my cross  would stand out. On the surrounding swirls, I colored again with copics and played around with some shades and glamour dust…I was looking into bring a very regal and jewel like feel to the motif. One of the things I wanted to do is to add lots of dimension to this card, so it would feel like a little memento from the occasion itself.

So what did I learn? From now on I am getting stamps that can make my imagination fly away with ideas. Magnolia couple B for sure is one of them! How about you? Are you going to give a try into “new ways”?

Come and join us at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge! This week we are all about dimensions! See you there!

Much luv

Bildmalarna :: My flower my MOM

Hello everybody! Are you ready to celebrate this wonderful weekend? Guys and girls be good to your mom. I will celebrate my mom having fun with my craft tools. I have to thank my mom about so many things that I would spend my life time and time over just listing! Mom taught me since I was tiny how to sew.…I got my crochet needles fairly young (of course she took care of me after I had one stabbed on my fanny…it hurts! Yes, I can hear my mom saying “Don’t leave things laying on places you sit!”). Knitting was funny since my mom was not a huge fan. But mom is mom and she taught me and now she mails me winter wardrobes! Countless hours coloring, from maps to coloring books…color love was truly passed from mother to daughter. Mom.. even far away, you are in me my genes and on my mind ALWAYS!

This bildmalarna card is in honor of my flower, my mom! I used Bildmalarna summer flower , which fit perfect the way I see the woman in my life! I also chose to make the card in one tone. Pink. Honoring moms and daughter fighters and survivors of any kind of fight! Of course I had to bring some sparkle to the celebration ,so I used smooch illuminati (just love this stuff!) and some martha glitter. As you can see I am distressing it all with my zutter. It takes a little learning to deal with this power tool, but I think I am getting the hang of it….or maybe I should call.. MoooooM! HAHA. Have a wonderful weekend you all! You still have time to join us at Bildmalarna challenge come on over for a chance to win BIG!

Luv, anaRy

 

Magnolia Stamp :: Breakfast at…

Hey you all! How are you guys doing? Well I am keeping myself busy here! Putting my copics to work! Well one got to do something after investing so much! HAHAA.

Anyway I am a little late with my post today, but here I am! The challenge this week was “ Recipe card”. I could not find a better match for my recipe card than Tilda 314 Kitchen Tilda. A little card envelope holds the real recipe card with a picture and the ingredients for a perfect breakfast – you just need to pull the little loop on the top .

I have to say that the breakfast is my style of course hihihi..huuuummmm got to love fresh mashes strawberries with cream…yum.

Well as usual I got copic happy and wrote a list of copics used in a little tiny piece of paper and now I cannot find it..Do you guys have a good way to keep track of your colors? I will try to redo this look and I will list them soon. I used Neenah cardstock, recollections color cardstock and I believe it is a s.e.i flower pattern paper. As for stamping and coloring Memento and Versa magic inks. Last but not least glitter! YAY! I have to say this is my premier card with the ZZZZZZUTER distress tool….and I love it…and my dog HATE IT! I will make a video with it…you guys are going to fall of the chair! It is sooo funny…she bites the tool!

Well I have talked too much! See you y’all soon! Don’t forget to join us at magnolia stamp lovers challenge!

Much luv!
