Magnolia DT ~ Fruit Salad Collection

Yayyyy...finally a new Magnolia handmade card from me after so many months. I got encouragement and wishes from friends and crafters to restart my Magnolia crafting journey. May be you know that I have difficulties to coloring due to my eyes problem. I cannot focus for a long hours to color . 

I managed to color bit by bit and Thank God I completed the coloring and able to make a proper card then. Thank you very much who support me all the way .

Magnolia has released a new collection from their stamp box, it's called Fruit Salad Collection. I am so sorry that I don't know the name of this cute Tilda, maybe Cherries Tilda, I think :-)) The hearts and sentiment stamps are also from this collection.

  As usual I colored Tilda with Ranger Distress inks.

 Paper flowers from Prima marketing and Kodt & Godt.

 It's always happy to have a Magnolia handmade card but I will send this card to Magnolia Sweden.

I hope you got inspired to view my card and thank you for stop by at my blog. Please come to magnolia.nu to choose your rubberstamps ! Happy crafting!

Back to Basic~~ Crescendo Trio Bookmarks

Hello my friends/crafters ,

How are you recently ?  I heard that it's spring in northern part of the earth and its autumn in the southern part. It's time for recharge and restart, I think. Wherever and whenever you are, I hope that you keep your energy on with whatever you do.

I tittled my post as "Back to Basic" 

*****

I started my crafting journey in 2005 ( long way to remember the date, though)

I had invited to join Magnolia Rubber stamps Sweden for their Design Team in June, 2008.

10 years in the wonderful and beautiful design team keep me growing and growing , either inner or outer way, specially in my crafting journey. Not to mention the beautiful people I meet in crafting journey.

Recently, maybe one year ago, I found that I can't concentrate on my coloring for a long hours. Due to my presbyopia, I didn't do much in my coloring and projects.I feel quilty. I feel lost. I wonder if I am able to do my crafting again? Its my hobby and I wish to keep on whenever I can.

*****

I rethink and try to remember why I join the crafting ? How I started my crafting?  I still remember I didn't have many crafting supplies and tool when I started to craft. Everything is basic and simple. I feel happy and satisfied when I made a simple card. I want to have the feeling again when I can't do much on my projects due to my presbyopia.

*****

Distress inks and some simple rubber stamps are the solution !

I hope you get inspired if you lost your mojo by the simple projects I made. I called them Cresendo Trio Bookmarks. Show me yours if you make one !

Have a nice day ! <3

Magnolia Flower Girl Tilda Pocket Card

My new card to share with crafting lovers on this beautiful day !

I made a pocket birthday card for a friend and hope that she will like my card.

I lost my crafting mojo on and off and I always suffer to start to craft when I have free time.

Whenever I have inspiration to craft and I make something that I love to.

Tilda is from I believe in Unicorn collection and the bench is from old collection. Magnolia has a lot of bench stamps , you can search their website to buy the stamps. Magnolia Sweden. 

As usual , I stamped Tilda with Archival black ink from Ranger Ink on Langton Hot Press 300gsm watercolor paper. Then I colored Tilda with Ranger Distress inks. I know I need to practice and improve my coloring skill.

 The celebration banner, balloons cutting dies are from Magnolia Doohickey Volume 5 Limited Edition. They have Doohickey collection, you can purchase from here: Magnolia Doohickey

 I made a pocket for this card, so that I can insert a small card inside with beautiful sentiment. Paper flowers from Prima Marketing and Kodt and Godt. I love the doilies so much and I nearly can't live without it in my crafting. The doilies stock is nearly finish, may I know where could I purchase this beautiful doilies?

Its always fun to make handmade card, I enjoy every part of it. Although the process is quite long, sometimes I need 2 days to complete a card, but I am always so satisfied with the final result. I used patterned papers from Magnolia. They have very beautiful patterned papers, which you can purchase from here: Magnolia Sweden 

Sometimes people asked me if I sold my cards. My answer is NO. Not that I don't want  money, LOL...but just because it's handmade, I can't made in bulk. Every single piece is UNIQUE. I appreciate my effort and so that I hope you to appreciate the making process too.

I made another small card to stamp the beautiful sentiment on it. I also embossed the card with bird and swirl embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I colored the embossing folder with Ranger Distress ink then put the paper into the folder and then embossed with my big shot machine.

I also used Magnolia cutting dies, sweet lovely lace to make the beautiful border on the card. Then I colored the paper and border edges with Ranger Distress Ink- Walnut Stain.

Everyone need to have some hobby...I have found mine...how about you ? Any feedback, questions? suggestion to let me know? You can email me ! I love your comments. Hope that you have a beautiful day with the most loved one!
