Ying and Magnolia

Annie, annie, I love you:-))

2012-01-29T17:47:00.000+08:00

Here is Annie:-))

I don't know if you know her.

But she was Magnolia Oldies:-))

So Vintage, So Old-fashioned and So Innocent.

It was so easy and fun to color her with distress inks.

Just four colors, but the fun is endless.

I mat her with Spellbinders and lace, to have a elegant look.

Patterned Papers from Pion Design and Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection.

I also used Magnolia dies, you can notice the new die at the top of the card, it was from Sweet Crazy Love Collection too.

I sewn and ditressed all the papers edges with Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink.

This is a paper bag and I want to giveaway to a dearly friend and sure I will put some yummy stuff inside the bag.

I hope that you have a great week and don't forget to create something you love!

My darling daughter is 9 years old now and I am glad she loves to create too :-))

Hope that you love what you do !

Hello my dear friends,

I start my first new year post with an inviting guest DT card from Deep Ocean Challenge Blog.

The theme is real easy and fun: Sparkle.

I used Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection stamps to make this card.

I added sparkle here and there:-))

This card is 6" x 6" ( 15cm x 15cm)

As usual, I colored tilda with distress inks.

All stamped image and sentiment from Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection.( Tilda with Cozy Heart and You've stolen my heart)

I have a round sparkle "Love" sticker here, it suits the theme:-)

I used cross-stitch fabric to make a small fan and added some ice stickles on it.

I added Ranger Ice stickles around the card edges.

I also placed some half pearl around the stamped image too.

Did you notice the strip which has fancy border? It was Magnolia new dies, Sweet Lovely Lace.

Prima tiles added a little sweet touch of the card, I love it !

Magnolia Christmas Avent Calendar Day 6: Counting down to Christmas

2011-12-06T16:05:00.005+08:00

Welcome to Magnolia Christmas Avent Calendar Day 6! I am so excited to create something specialon this special day.

I have created 25 tags for counting down to christmas. But they are not actually a tag, it can made from a wax paper bag, a doily, a cork, a piece of corrugated paper, etc.....just image how and where I found all these great pieces:-))

This counting down to christmas decoration has two sides, which I hang them all on a wooden board. They can be remove because I hang them with mini clothes pins, which was sent to me by my talented friend Yulis Kartika from Indonesia, thank you very much Yulis.

One side of the decoration, from Day 1 to Day 12. On the top I have Day 24, as to make it a special day, and there has a beautiful white bird beside the tag.

Here is another side of decoration.From Day 13 to Day 22. I placed the Day 25 tag on the top, to make it as a special day.

Close up photo. There has two small pins on the top of the wooden board, I tied with pink ribbon so that i can use it as hanger.I also decorated with some small red and pink roses, all these supplies was sent by Magnolia DT Lillemor, thank you very much sweetie.

Another close up photo. You can notice I tied the silver thread along the wooden board so that I have hang the tag on it using mini clothes pins.

Do you think it's a little messy? but I have so much fun to create something messy-christmassy...haha.....

I used almost anything I can find in my house to create. I hand written "Christmas Countdown 2011" on a stamped image from Magnolia rubberstamp.

I have so much to write about all the little pieces. How and what I used. But to make it short, I can tell you, I use a lot and a lot and a lot of Magnolia product, not just rubberstamps, I used doohickey dies, patterned papers, flowers, etc, mostly Magnolia :-))

Day 25- Magnolia rubberstamp-sweet christmas collection,doohickey die cut

Day 24- Magnolia rubberstamp-Sweet christmas collection colored with new winter distress inks, Magnolia patterned paper

Day 23-Magnolia patterned paper cut into small strips and glued them on a small cut, topped with Magnolia stamped image.

Day 19-Magnolia rubberstamp christmas 2010

Day 18-Magnolia doohickey die

Day 16-Magnolia mini rubberstamp

Day 15- I used Magnolia patterned paper, I don't need any dies, just cut two strip of patterned paper about 2 inches then fold it "up and down" then joint them together , you will get a rossette flower.

Day 14- Magnolia doohickey doily die

Day 13- I stamped Magnolia rubberstamp with brown Stazon ink on a plastic tag. No need to color.

Day 12- A mini spool. I stamped Magnolia sentiment "Merry Christmas" inside the patterned paper.

My sweet and talented teamie Lillemor from Sweden sent me a package of yummy magnolia cardmaking kit recently, which included her beautiful and sweet colored stamped image-Halo Tilda, paper doily,pink organza ribbon, red and pink paper flowers and stamen.

I made a card using her kit then I added my supplies. I used Magnolia patterned paper ( mini),various magnolia doohickeys, half pearls and manila tag.

I adore very much Lillemor;s coloring. Her coloring is out of the world and I wish I can color like her. She uses distress ink refill to color Tilda.She used masking technique on her card to make the sentiment at the back of Tilda. She stamped the edges of the card with Magnolia snowflakes stamp.

I love Magnolia doohickeys dies. On this card I used Heart Swirl dies,Lovely Fence dies and Mistletoe dies.I distressed the dies edges with Ranger Walnut Stain.

Close up photo to show you magnolia doohickey and snowflakes stamp image.I distressed the dies edges with Ranger Walnut Stain.

You can noticed that I really used a lot of Magnolia doohickey dies on this card, snowflakes dies is a must for christmas card.I added some liquid pearls on the card too.

I love to use a lot of flowers on my cards and I just simply arranged them as I wish. They look soft and beautiful.

Thank you very much Lillemor for sending me the very yummy cardmaking kit, hope that we have chance to have this Duet Creation:-))

2011-10-03T18:03:00.000+08:00

I noticed I prefer bright color.

When come to dark color, I don't feel comfortable.

I don't have confidence.

Anyway, I need to make something.

This is a Halloween Deco.

It's measure is 19cm x 11cm

It's not a card, if you think it looks like stair card.

Nope.:-))

We don't celebrate Halloween here.

But, if you ask me to be a witch,

I may try it, it's fun, I think:-))

All the stamped images colored with Distress inks, as usual.

Patterned paper and stamps from Magnolia, off course:-))

Happy Halloween to you and Happy Birthday to Magnolia !!

TOMIC#13: Back to School + metal

2011-08-29T18:00:00.006+08:00

Here is a short post too...

Today the TOMIC challenge is school theme with metal.

Any stamp will do for this challenge if you don't have school related stamps(Magnolia), but you can create a school background or illustrate it.

I used an old Tilda stamp, I love the old style-)

First I painted light green paint on a chipboard and covered with patterned paper.Applied white paint on corrugated paper. Let it dry. Then arranged other materials on it , like patterned paper, chipboard, lace, and Tilda.

I tied the two colored pencils together with wire and embelished with two paper flowers

I also stamped the sentiment patterned paper, distressed wtih Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink.

For the hanger, the stick was not wood, but it's cinnamon stick. I punched two holes on the chipboard and I tied the lace and ribbon with wire on the cinnamon and chipboard.

Lastly decorated with some metal charms, half pears and paper flowers here and there.

Card recipe:

Stamps: Magnolia

Patterned Paper: Prima Marketing

Chipboard: Embelliscrap.com

Embelishments: Paper flowers, half pearls, metal charms, wire,stickles

Coloring: Distress inks

Together~Scrap with Magnolia product

2011-06-19T17:15:00.000+08:00

Hello friends,

Ha ha....Today I don 't have any Magnolia card to show you !! But....I used a lot of Magnolia rubberstamps and other products to make my projects.....and I have SCRAP !!!! I didn't know if I can call my project scapbooking, because I didn't know anything about scrapbooking, I scrapped before ( many years ago) , but just on 6"x6" paper. This is the first time I scrapped on 12" x12" patterned paper. I used my favourite photo which we took it in 2008 at Cameron Highland, one of the highland in Malaysia.

The banner on the top is Magnolia rubberstamp, which is Wedding Collection, I also used Magnolia swirl stamp too. Then you can see I die cut the patterned paper with Magnolia doohickey Tilda lace and I used Magnolia doohickey swirl die cut to cut the cork paper too.

The sentiment is also from Magnolia rubberstamp, I stamped it directly on patterned paper. I also stamped a Magnolia rubberstamp- label and distressed with Ranger Walnut Stain, I handwrite the sentiment,~Together is a wonderful place to be.

I used lot;s of paper flowers and painted them a little bit with arcylic paint. The wording "family" is fabric cuts.The beautiful light green lace was supplied by Magnolia in my previous DT package.

Here you can see again, Magnolia product, heart rubberstamp. I stamped it on cream paper ,distressed with Ranger Walnut Stain and cut it out, sparkled with Ranger Ice Stickles.

Material used:

Stamps: Magnolia rubberstamps~ Sentiment, swirl, heart, label,

Die cut: Magnolia doohickey Tilda lace, swirl

Patterned papers: K&Company, Prima marketing.

Paper flowers: I am roses & Magnolia

Lace: Magnolia

Half pearls: Melissa Frances, Kaiser Craft

Arcylic paint: Making memories.

Punches: EK success and Martha Stewart

Ranger Ice and Gold stickles.

I think I will scrap more often because I had so much fun too enjoy the beauty of the scrapping supplies, and I am quite happy with the result.:-))

Wish you have a great day !

Tutorial: How to make a Magnolia Card ( Version2 )

2011-02-03T08:35:00.001+08:00

Hi friends, I wanted to make this tutorial for a long time and I am not an expect, I just want to share my passion. Everyone has their unique style and techniques. This is my experince with making Magnolia cards. I am more than happy with you to give me feedback and comments, I am so sorry that I am not a good bloggers, I didn't comment back your blog, but please know that I appreciate you all from my bottom of my heart.

OK, let's start the tutorial. Please view my pictures and do the questions and answer together, then I hope you will be inspired by my tutorial.

Magnolia card is not same as other handmade cards because it needs coloring and embelishments to make the cards look stunning.

So, the important thing is: {Coloring and embelishments.}

Some people let me know that, they are wondering and feel wasted if they use a lot of patterned papers and embelishments on the card, but you don't be worry about it, because it's worth, the layout of the card is more important, we view the beauty of the card on it's layout { the whole card, that I mean}

Pratice 1: What's the main colors can you spot on this card?

Yes, it's red and green.

So, the color combination is very important in making Magnolia cards.

First, decide what rubberstamp you want to use for your card. For this card, I choose Tilda with Big ribbon {You are so special collection}

Because I want to color my Tilda with Ranger distress inks, so I stamp the image on 300gm aquarelle paper with Tuskineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink.What is aquarelle paper?

It's watercoloring papers that can absorb water.

If you want to color your Tilda with Copic markers then you might stamp it on Neenah paper. Please note that Neenah paper may NOT work with distress inks. So, the papers play an important role in coloring.

After you stamped the image , don't color first. Don't get too excited and rush to color, otherwise you may have difficulty on choosing patterned papers.

Think a bit what theme of card you want to make? I want to make a Valentine card, I want a typical Valentine card, so it's regarding RED color. So I am going to choose my card stock first in red color. Then I looking for my patterned papers.

Magnolia patterned paper collection is so soft and pretty. I look for red scheme, so I decided that I want to use these two type of patterned papers. You can use up to 2-3 different patterned papers on a card.

Pratice 2: What's the main colors on these two patterned papers? I just want the main colors. It can be two colors.

Yes, it's red and green.

Now it's time for coloring. Don't simply color. Just now you have decided the two patterned papers and spotted the main colors on the patterned papers, so choose the right distress inks to color Tilda.

I choose Victorian Velvet ( pink color) to color Tilda's dress and Bundle Sage( light green) to color ribbon.These two distress inks are the color family in red and green, so you are do the right thing.

Tilda's dress is very important to make the card looks stunning, if you color the right color then you are success in 60%.

Please remember that don't color any color that are not in the red and green color family, for example: blue color for Tilda's shoe...OH NO!! You spoilt the whole card, or you choose black for Tilda's shoe...OH NO!! I can't help you anymore....LOL

You can color neutral colors like light brown or grey because they work with any colors, for example, I colored Vintage Photo ( brown) for Tilda's shoes.

After you done with your coloring then you can start to decorate the card. You can base on sketch or your own idea. Play around the papers to make the best result.For my card, I usually mat a full sheet of patterned paper on the cardstock then working on another.

Paper doily has a soft and feminine touch, I like to use in my card.

Place it on the patterned paper.

Cut a strip of another patterned paper mat it on cream paper and glue it on the paper doily.

These are all the embelishements I want to use:

paper flowers that I made my own, you can view the tutorial HERE and some I bought online(http://www.iamroses.com/), two hearts that I made myself too, lace from friend.

Pratice 3: Name three colors you can found on my embelishements?

Yes, again, it's regarding colors. Please choose the right colors, that's mean, you need to choose from red and green color family.We have red hearts, pink and green leaves,pink flowers,green stems. All these colors are in the same color family, so it's fine.

Please don't ever put a blue big ribbon, for example, because it's not in the same color family with RED and GREEN:-))

OK, now. We will esemble all the embelishemts. Every cardmakers have their own style, and I can say this is the fun part, you can play around the stuff until you satisfied. I just want to show you how I make on this card.

Place the lace on the top of the card.

Stamped the sentiment on cream paper to make the background as a focal point on the card and mat on the red cardstock as well as the sentiment besides the focal point. Glue it on the card.

Glue another strip of ribbon on the card as shown on the picture. I want to make a seat for Tilda.

I used therm O web pop up foam to make Tilda "sit" on the card.

Now I wish to add all the embelishemts. Play around them and get the best result but DON"T glue them first. Just make them still on their place that you wish.

Glue them one by one, one by one.........

Pratice 4: Why I want to glue it one by one?

If you done anything wrong, you can quickly take it up and do it again and this can make sure you know the right place they are( that you want them to be:-)) and you can play around them again if you are not satisfied.

Glue the paper flower.

one by one...untill you done all the embelishments.

At last part, you can add some Ranger Ice stickles, half pearls, add some white spot on Tilda, just to do the final touch.

Then, your card is voila !

I hope that you enjoy my tutorial, please bear with me that my English is so poor as my mother tongue is not English. If you have any question to ask, please don't hesitate to email me:-)

****************************

So, again, I make a summary here for my tutorial to help you understand it:

1. decide what stamp to use.

2. Choose the patterned papers and spot the main colors.

3. Coloring - based on the spotted colors.

4. Decorate the card.

5.Place the embelishements-based on the spotted colors.

DT Magnolia~You are so special ~Tilda with Big Ribbon

2011-02-02T10:36:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year and I wish to take this opportunity to wish you who is celebrating it a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I am out of town and luckily have chance to make a card of my favourite.

I used You are so special collection from Magnolia, the stamp is Tilda with Big Ribbon. She looks so pretty and I can't wait to color her with my favourite distress inks.

I stamped Tilda on 300gm aquerell paper with Tsukineko Memento Onxy Black ink.

Patterned paper from Magnolia patterned paper collection, ribbon was gift from my crafty friend Adeline Ng in Singapore,

I hand drawn two hearts on red cardstock, cut it out, then trace on pink paper to make another hearts, mat the hearts together and draw the stitches with white ink pen.

I stamped the sentiment " with all my love" on white cardstock, distressed with Ranger Ink Vintage Photo, draw the stitches with black ink pen around the paper and mat on red cardstock.

I made the paper flowers myself, you can see my paper flowers tutorial here. It's simple and easy to make. I also make some variations, distressed the flower with scissors, distressed with distress inks and I also used Magnolia patterned paper to make a flower too.

I had fun using Ranger distress inks to color Tilda.

Dress: Victorian Velvet

Shoe: Vintage Photo

Ribbon: Bundle Sage

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattared Rose

Lace: Pumice stone

I stamped the sentiment " with all my love" on cream paper to make a background and I also stamped the "Loving border " from the same collection on the top of the paper.

I hope that you have inpired and had fun to see my cards. I have make a full tutorial for this card how I make it, as some people keep asking me how I make my cards from the very beginning, such as selecting patterned paper to touch up with stickles:-)) So stay tune, tomorrow I will post a full tutorial.

Happy Crafting !

DT Magnolia Mini Stamps~Vintage Tag

2011-01-29T22:18:00.002+08:00

Here is the Magnolia mini stamps world ! I made this tag with Magnolia doohickey Vintage tag and mini stamps, so you can imagine how small and cute( of course!) is this tag.

I simply teared two small patterned papers from Magnolia papers collection and distressed with Ranger Vintage photo distress ink. I used a strip of wire to make a heart, added some Ranger Star dust stickles on the tag.

Tilda is a mini stamp as well as the "see you later" sentiment.

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and distressed with Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink. The two white dotty is Ranger liquid Pearl which I bought from my dear Camilla's hubby webshop, https://hjerteboden.nordicshops.com/

The small cute flowers are gift from http://www.iamroses.com/

they have a huge range of paper flowers and their shipping is afforable too.

I used distress inks to color mini Tilda, it's real easy:-)

Dress: Victorian Velvet

Hair: Walnut Stain

Shoe: Pumice Stone

Some people asked me about the mini stamps, how small they are?

Here I also took 2 photos that to make a comparison. From the photo you know that how small and cute is the mini Tilda. You can click the picture to make it more clearer.

This is not Tilda for sure:-)) ha ha.....this is Yileen, my dd, she just had her birthday two days ago, oh my...I just can't remember how the time flies.....she is my sweet honey:-))

OK, I hope that you enjoyed and inspired by my creation, if you live in USA and Canada you can get the mini stamps at Magnolicious.us, if not you will get them in this Spring { As stated in the Magnolia INK Valentine edition magazine :-))

Have a nice day !

Magnolia A greeting of Love

2011-01-20T10:30:00.001+08:00

Since I am still working on my card for "You are so special" collection and the mini stamps, I would love to share with you a hanger/tag that I made couple weeks ago.

I used the last christmas collection stamp, Tilda with the post and A greeting of love wording. It's a very simple and easy to make. Just use a doily as a base, I cut spellbinder round nestie to make the round , and I also used lacey round nestie for the background.The patterned paper from Magnolia collection.

Here is the close up look for the nesties. I also embossed a cuttlebug embossing folder with my cuttlebug machine and ditressed with Ranger Walnut Stain.I distressed all the edges with walnut stain too and added some sparkle with Ranger Ice stickles.

I colored Tilda with distress inks.Hair: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Dress: Weathered Wood,Post: Pumice Stone, Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattared Rose.

I also added some blue paper roses on the hanger, doesn't it looks romantic?

You are so special Collection ~ Tilda with small gift

2011-01-16T08:04:00.000+08:00

This stamp is so cute, I bought it from the winter kit club.I stamped her on a oval cardstock and mat with a bigger oval cardstock again. I also stamped manuscript stamp on foam and cut out with Nestie scallopped oval.

I colored with Ranger distress inks~ Weathered wood for her dress, stocking. For hair I colored with tye dye, vintage photo and walnut stain.

I colored her background with punice stone and walnut stain.

I used Ranger crackle accent on her dress to make it crackle and also glue a lot of small flowers on the card.

Can you notice the star border on the focal point? it's also from the You are so special collection , it's called "shooting stars border"

I also used Ranger Ice stickles around the oval cardstock.

I stamped "A greeting of love " on the tag die and distressed with walnut stain. I sewn all the edges and the brad was from Bo Bonny collection.

Hope that you like my card as I do, I am so sorry that the pictures are not clear, I had a hard time with my camera:-( Enjoy your sunday and see you next week !

Magnolia Christmas Stocking~Avent Calender Blog Hop Day 23

2010-12-23T13:15:00.005+08:00

Merry Christmas to all my friends and Magnolia fans around the world!!! Today is my host for Magnolia avent calender no.23rd. I am so happy that I have this chance to share the Christmas moment with all of you and more excited...we are giving and sharing with the most spectacular Magnolia creations!!!!

I had made a christmas stocking as a ornament to hang on my christmas tree. I have my two kids that done the christmas tree decoration in their own, I just shouted " Let's decorate the tress", but I didn't do anything...this is the advantage to have kids that can do their thing without our help....and my...they are growing and time past so fast....I am old and they are grown...haha....what the life.....Okay....back to our Magnolia christmas stocking.....

这个像不像圣诞袜子呢？应该是一个反传统的袜子吧！袜子其实是一张纸皮然后再贴上美编纸（ patterned paper）。

I used two mini stamps that are so beautiful and cute:-) I used distress inks ink pad to color the stamped image, for the wings, I just left it blank and put some Ranger Ice stickles on them.

I downloaded a christmas stocking template and trace it on Magnolia patterned paper.

I also sewn the stocking's edges with my mini sewing machine. I also glued lace on the edge's of christmas stocking, it will give them shabby chic looks, don't you think so ?

这两个是微型Tilda，采上颜色后，剪下，涂上水晶浆糊（ Ranger Ice Stickles)。我把袜子的边沿“车边”然后再粘上蕾丝。

I cut my spellbinders lacey circle die with cuttlebug machine to use it as a mat for colored Tilda. I also used distress inks to color this cute Tilda, then added Ranger Ice stickles on the wings, lace and star. I made my snowflakes with spellbinders snowflakes dies and added some ice stickles on them.

圆形的底和雪花石用Spellbinders dies 并以cuttlebug切割而成，再涂上水晶浆糊。

Lastly , for the wording, I placed a corrugrated paper sanded with Distress ink -Walnut Stain as a base. I stamped the wording A greeting of Love on white cardstock, sponged with Vintage Photo distress ink.Placed three rhinestones as a final touch.

利用复古印台把字句印章印出，再渲染。

I wish to take this opportunity to say a thousand times of ~~Thank you, Gratitude, Tack Tack, 谢谢 to all my friends and Magnolia fans around the world, all your lovely comments , support, concern, gift, crafting supplies that you given to me, I can't express in words...because of YOU , I create and blog until today, because of YOU, I can move on with my Magnolia creations:-)) I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and new year and I also hope that you are always healthy too:-))

Secret Tilda Tag~ What's secret?

2010-12-11T22:00:00.005+08:00

This tag is made from a product packaging..read through this post then you will know the secret behind it....This christmas stamp is very versatile, we can even use it to make all occasion cards:-)

I used Magnolia "Angel Love" patterned paper to cover the packaging, it was fun to do the layering with doily, ribbon, paper cut with Magnolia doohickey die.

I used distress inks ink pad to color Tilda. Camilla sent me a very awesome brush to color Tilda , she is so sweet, thank you very much Camilla, you can get the brush from her husband's store, their store is very pretty and full of fabulous products, it's a crafting heaven !! I LOVE it !

Dress: Weathered Wood

Skin: Vintage photo, Tattared Rose, Age Mohagany

Present: Worn Lipstick

Hair: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Waltnut stain

I LOVE these half pearl, it was sent by my sweet Camilla from Norway, thank you very much Camilla.

It's sticker half pearl, you can use it directly when you peel off from the plastic sheet.

I used white foam and Magnolia doohickey die( doily flowers) to make a beautiful flowers. Then I sponged with distress inks Tattared Rose. Can you see the beautiful tiny flowers? They was sent by http://www.iamroses.com/ for me to play with, thank you very much Burnma. You should check out her online store, she has many beautiful paper flowers to choose from and the shipping is very cheap:-))

                                 And here.....the secret is.....I recycled Prima paper flowers packaging(as to save the earth...haha....) to make the tag. It's very easy, just trace the tag on the patterned paper, cut it out and glue it on the tag...can you understand what I mean ? sure you can ! :-))

Magnolia Christmas Countdown

2010-11-18T07:49:00.001+08:00

Finally, I made a christmas card using Magnolia christmas card.I love this Tilda and wanted to give her a gorgeous place to sit:-) I used My Mind's Eye Holly Jolly patterned papers that Bridget from UK kindly sent to me. Thank you very much my dear friends, Tanja and Bridget.

做Magnolia卡片的秘诀是什么呢？首先，上色很重要。我用的是Tim Holtz的distress ink pads.我的建议是把所有的颜色一次过买下来，因为我们不晓得我们什么时候需要什么颜色。其次，美编纸是重要的元素。最好选择颜色较轻的美编纸，我当然建议Magnolia本身的美编纸。

I used Distress ink pads to color Tilda, such as Vintage photo, Antique linen, Bundle Sage, Tattared Rose.I also used various flowers sent by Magnolia and my own stash to decorate the card.

再来就是装饰了。美丽的纸花最能让整张卡片出色。我建议用立体的纸花。市面上有很多纸花，Prima Marketing 推出很多纸花，但我还是喜欢这种立体的纸花，去哪买呢？看看这里吧：http://www.iamroses.com/

I stained the spellbinder shape with vintage photo and I used the leftover star from the punched snowflakes border to decorate the spellbinder shape too.

其他不能免的装饰有珠片，亮胶，它们能让整张卡片让人看来“眼前一亮”喔！

Here is how the card look like when I open it from the front page. The Christmas Countdown tag is from My Mind's Eye patterned paper pack too. I stamped the white cardstock with Stempelglede Grunge stamp, it's so beautiful:-)

Hope you enjoy looking my card and I am glad if I have inspired you. Hope you have a great day.

I came across Timbroscrapmania Stamping challenge today that I won their previous challenge,oh my, I am so lucky, thank you very much Barbara. I also noticed that they have a new challenge, that is : Box, Bag. So I made this box using my Martha Stewart Scoring Board.

It's 4"x4"x2" box, it's very easy to do with Martha Stewart Scoring Board, the instruction came along with the board. I used Magnolia patterned papers to cover the box. I colored Tilda with Distress inks and cut with Spellbinders Oval Lacey Dies. I also added two strips of Magnolia Doohickey Lace dies as the box's border.

I put some little gem inside the box such as cinnamon stick, lace, doily as a gift.

Here is the side of the box, lace with Magnolia Doohickey lace die.

I love crystal garland so I have a lot of them , if you want me to buy some, you can email me at: samuelyt at yahoo dot com.

Flowers, flowers , flowers, I can't live without flowers. I also spray glimmist lace around them, but you can't see it clear here.

I stamped the sentiment " Loving Wishes" on fabric with Tsukineko Memento Black Ink and added Ranger Ice Stickles

I also added some half pearl, Ranger Ice stickles around the the flowers and doily.
Distress inks coloring:

Tilda's hair: Pumice Stone+ Walnut Stain
Tilda's face+skin: Vintage Photo+ Tattared Rose
Tilda's Cheek's : Worn Lipstick, Age Mahogany

Where I create + Cards from friends

2010-10-14T18:12:00.005+08:00

Here are some of my crafting corner photos, if you are interested to take a look. Unfortunely I don't have a fancy craft room, a corner of my house has been fully use by me to create a workplace and to place my crafting stuff.

My crafting table, actually it's a computer table. Here I have my 25 drawers plastic storage to store my Magnolia stamps. I also have my distress inks and flowers on the table, easy for me to get anything I want. The three drawers plastic storage I store my glue, pop-up foam, arcylic block, memento black ink and some stationery.

My hubby made the two shelves for me today. I showcase my handmade cards and projects. The top shelf I have my copic ciao markers, small ink pads, brushes, etc......and you can see that I have my cuttlebug and embossing folder, spellbinders. I don't have a lot of collection :-((

Here is the storage I store my magnolia stamps, not so organize but still easy to find the stamps.

The cabinet that I store my papers, magazine, ribbons, punches, stickles, etc...

Martha Stewart punches, I don't have many...list on growing....

I store my mounted rubberstamps, heat gun, all kind of markers, ribbons in orange and yellow plastic storage.

It looks nice, right?

On my birthday, I was so honored to receive a altered box from my friend who live in Singapore,Adeline Ng. She is very talented and made this gorgoues and wonderful altered for me on my birthday, what a great suprise!

Close up for the altered box.

Magnolia Teepee Fall Card

2010-10-06T23:25:00.010+08:00

Hello my dear friends,

How are you today ? I hope that you are great with the great weather, although we don't have four seasons here but with all the people out there screaming they want autumn , so I know that I have to make something "autumn" .

I came across in youtube for some making teepee cards ideas, I hope that I spell and name it correctly, it's a overlap triangle shape card I took about two days to finish it and I hope I have inspired you something, besides the normal square card.

I also enter this card to Just Magnolia challenge~Anything goes and Trimbroscrapmania~Autumn Colors....oh, I had been a long time didn't participate in any challenge:-))

Three sides of teepee...I used 3 pieces of 6"x 6" cardstock, fold in half then placed and glued them together in a triangle shape.

This card can be opened,closed by placing a tape then

you can write some notes inside the card.

I used Magnolia patterned paper to make the background , I distressed with Ranger Antique linen and Vintage Photo. I also made a small tag with Tim Holtz rubberstamp to make the background, that's the sheet music. Can you notice the wire flower behind Tilda? I was so proud that my son, Samuel made it for me by using a thin wire. I used Magnolia doohickey lace to make the border.

I used chipboard alphabets to make the "Fall ", I painted them with Ranger Walnut Stain Crackle paint, let it dry, later, I added with Crackle accent on them.I colored Tilda with distress inks- Vintage Photo, Walnut stain, Fired Brick.

The flower on top of Tilda was a sticker. I colored Tilda with Distress inks- Crushed Olive, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Black Soot, Victorian Velvet, SpunSugar.

I placed tulle, lace, pearls, flowers, stickers rhinestones to make the card looks stunning.

I handmade the background patterned paper. Firstly I stamped Tim Holtz rubberstamp-sheet music on white cardstock with Vintage Sepia ink pad, then I distressed it with Ranger Antique linen and Walnut Stain. I added a lot of rhinestones on the card, I love it !! The cute crochet flower was a gift from my crafty-male friend, Paul, from Kuala Lumpur.

I colored Tilda with distress inks- Crushed Olive, Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain, Victorian Velvet, Age Mohagany.

**********************************************

Hope that you find something interesting on my card, I love making something beautiful and inspired. Thank you very much for your nice comments, it means a lot for me:-)

Have a nice day.

Magnolia Tilda Windy Weather + CLP Challenge

2010-10-01T15:22:00.004+08:00

Hello friends,

Here is the card I want to show you today. I had some problem when I wanted to color her because I was not sure what colors should I use. Accidentally I saw this Magnolia patterned paper lying on my craft table so I decide to use red as the base. I don't have any red clothes, I don't like red colors and I wonder why I make a red card? ha ha....LOL

CLP Challenge is having the sketch challenge for October, so I used the sketch to make this card. I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Tsukineko Memento Black Tuxedo Ink and colored with distress inks.I sewn and distressed all the card edges with Ranger Walnut ink and added with Ranger Ice Stickles.

My fellow Magnolia DT member Claudia Rosa was so kind to purchase for me the very new Martha Stewart punch, which I am not sure the punch's name ...LOL...it's so lovely...and I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Oval for placing the sentiment.

All patterned papers I bought from Magnolia, flowers and crsytal branch from my stash, half pearls from Kaiser Crafts.

Colors I used:

Tilda dress: Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick

Skin:Antique Linen, Vintage Photo

Shoe: Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain and Black Soot

@@@@@@@@@@@

Hope that you have a nice day and thanks for your viewing !

Magnolia Baby Bib Card/Tag/Bookmark

2010-09-30T19:55:00.005+08:00

Here is the card I wish to show you today, just because the baby Tilda rubberstamp is so cute so I want to make a different card, or just like the title of my post, it can be a tag or a bookmark, I think. To show you how small the card is, I put it on my palm and you know the size of the card, it's as cute as baby Tilda.

I printed out the baby bib template from internet , then placed it on cardstock and cut it out. Again, I placed the template on the Magnolia patterned paper and cut it out.I distressed the bib's edge with Walnut stain and Ranger Ice Stickles. If you want the template, just let me know I will send it to you:-)

I glued a strip of white lace on the card and I used the new spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Ovals to make the background, that's in yellow and brown colors. I also punch the Martha Stewart Large Monarch Butterfly and added some Ranger Ice Stickles on it.

Colors I used:

Baby skin: Vintage Photo

Baby Hair: Walnut Stain

Diaper and shoe: Spun Sugar

Hope that you like my card and thank you very much for your viewing:-) Have a happy day ! Tomorrow I have another card to show you for CLP challenge blog, so stay tuned !
