A Mother's Day Card

Hi there lovelies!

Here's my latest card using *Ballerina* Tilda from the latest Magnolia stamps collection...

Since tomorrow we celebrate Mother's Day, I thought that this stamp would look cute for a gift. I colored her with Distress Inks, paper pieced her crown with 3D dots and added Stickles to make certain areas to *pop-out* from the card.

The sentiment is computer generated and it reads *Happy Mother's Day!*

Now this card is for a special friend of mine ;-) I hope that she likes it!!

I'll be back soon with another creation. Thanks for stopping by!!

Recipe:

• Stamp - Ballerina Tilda
• Inks - StazOn Baby Blue, Distress Inks, Acrylic Paint
• Patterned Paper - Melissa Frances
• Card Template - QuicKutz
• Oval Template - Nestabilities
• Heart Tag - Magnolia DooHickey
• Other - Doily, Cheese Cloth, Flowers, Trims, Sheer Ribbon, Mini Spool, Rhynestones, Machine Stitching

It's Almost Spring!

And what a good way to receive it by having a basket full of fresh and happy colors, flowers, and Easter eggs...

Cones seem to be very *in* lately, so I decided to go with the flow and create one too ;-)

I filled it with eggs that I made using the new Doo Bee Pops by Magnolia. The sweet DT member Ying made a quick and easy tutorial on how to use these if you still don't know how to.

I decorated its middle with Spring flowers, trims and seam binding, a Doo Hickey Folded Heart, and a sentiment from Magnolia. For the cone, I used a patterned paper from Magnolia too!

And for the bottom part, I hanged seam binding, sheer ribbon, and two circle Doo Bee Pops, which I attached with embroidery floss and acrylic hearts that hang to its end.

It was all very quick and easy, and it makes a nice home decoration ;-)

By the way, we have two *new Design Team members*. Please welcome:

Tilda in 3D

Hi everyone!

It's time for some Easter inspiration ;-)

So today I'm going to share with you my latest card using a lovely Tilda from the newest Easter 2013 Collection.

Yes, I'm hooked with these shaped cards! They're so much fun to create and look soooo pretty ;-)

I colored Tilda with Distress Inks and I added Stickles to certain areas for a sparkly touch.

And here's a neat trick...

I stamped *twice* both images (the background and Tilda), colored everything, and then cut out certain pieces from both images and adhered them to the main ones with 3D dots, as seen in the picture.

You can see how the technique is done in this video that I created a couple of months ago, which features another stamp and card, but the process is exactly the same.
