2012-01-29T17:49:00.000+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 :-))

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.

2011-11-25T14:35:00.000+08:00

Today I wish to share a very special with you, my friends.

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:-))

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

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 !

Here is the decorated wooden box.

Here is the wooden box and pasted on the card. You may noticed that I used various flowers, berries to decorate the box.I also decorated two stick of cinnamon, I used vintage papers, lace and button to make it pretty. For the fence, I used Magnolia doohickey fence. I painted with Ranger Crackle paint-Picket Fence, let it dry and applied Crackle accent.

DT Magnolia Mini Stamps~Vintage Tag

2011-01-29T22:24:00.002+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.

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/

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.

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 her background with punice stone and walnut stain.

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.

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

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

Magnolia Teepee Fall Card

2010-10-06T23:33:00.001+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 this teepee card, 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....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 by placing a tape.

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 rubberstamps-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

2010-10-01T15:40:00.002+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 !

2010-09-30T19:59:00.000+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 !

I don't have much to share in this post...just my card I wish to share and I am excited too because the new Magnolia INK will be very soon available at my house:-))

I used black cardstock to make the base, it's square( 6"x6"). I stamped Tilda on watercoloring paper and colored with distress inks. I sewed all the patterned papers. I used Martha Stewart Large Butterfly punch to punch the butterfly, it's so beautiful. I also used Magnolia doohickey lace dies to make the card's borders, it's looks so pretty:-))

Different flowers make the card looks pretty and I love the lace behind the papers too:-)

Stamped word on light brown paper and distressed with walnut stain distress ink, made it look "old".

I hope you enjoy looking at my card and I really appreciate your lovely comments. Have a great Sunday tomorrow:-)

Hello my dear friends,

Time flies too fast...I haven't had a chance to sit down and enjoy my cup of tea and my fav book recently...it's summer for many of you who live in US and Europe, I know you are having fun with it!!

For your info, we don't have any summer holidays here( we don't have summer instead;-) I don't like the weather here, because it's always HOT and HOT !!!! But I have to survive, so the air-con really helps me:-))

OK, enough for me babbling...this card has been requested by a friend and I thank her very much for ordering from me. She wants to give it to her friend who will migrate to another country:-)) I hope she likes my card and good luck to her too.

I used Magnolia stamp which is generously stamped by my friend Yenni Natalia, she helps me so much in crafting...and I also want to thank a friend from Singapore, Adeline Ng, she is so kind and always helps me in crafting too....today is her birthday and I wish her Happy Birthday, enjoy your day, Adeline !!!

I love paper flowers and the peachy flower was generously given by Irina Blount, the owner of LaLa Land Crafts, please pay a visit to her site:-)) I distressed all the edges with Walnut Stain and I colored the stamped image with Copic Ciao Markers.

Patterned Papers from Magnolia and My Mind's Eye, I love it ! I also used Magnolia new cutting dies DoorsHickey cutting dies- Lace, to create the borders, its lovely, right ?

I changed the sketch a bit to suit my crafting style and I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Hope that you can take part in the challenge too, meet you there:-))

This is my suggestion for beginner, if you are just discovered Magnolia rubberstamps, and you just have one

Don't feel upset for your limited supplies, you can create some fabulous cards too , like me:-))

Here is: A square card (6"x6"), A round card, a bookmark and a ATC ( 2"x3").

Stamped Tilda on white cardstock, colored with your favourite medium ( I used normal color pencils,

blended with paper stumps and sansodor).

Stamp the text rubberstamps several times on white cardstock,teared the edges, distressed with distress ink-

Vintage Photo, if needed.

Decorate the cards as you wish:-))

This is a very simple creation and yet beautiful, don't you think so?

Have a nice weekend.

Magnolia Fairytale Doilies Hanger

2010-05-29T20:32:00.009+08:00

Hi my dear friends,

How are you recently ? I am glad that I am able to make something fun this weekend:-) We have terrible weather here with average 32 degree celcious everyday, so it's a good excuse that I sit in my craftroom to have some fun:-))

OK, today I want to share with you Magnolia Doilies Hanger, all the rubberstamps are from Fairytale Collection, which is very HOT now:-)) For the first rubberstamp, I used Bubbling Tilda, the second rubberstamp is Ballerina Tilda and the third one Fairy Dust Tilda. All you can purchase from Magnolia, Sweden, if not, you can purchase them at many of the online stores.

Here are the list of the materials for this project, it's very fun and simple.

A) Magnolia rubberstamps( Fairytale Collection and also two old collection sentiments)which you can get them at www.dreamcottage.nu

B) Three 5 Inches Diameter Doily from Royal Lace, they are gift from my fellow Magnolia DT Malin from Sweden, thank you very much sweety:-)

C)Three coasters that you can buy at any stores, I buy them from local store, Daiso, and there are cheap and can be used in crafting too...nice!

D) Inks: Tsukineko Memento Ink( Tuxedo Black), Ranger Distress Ink-Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed)

E)Embelishments: Prima Marketing Paper flowers, Crystal Branch from my local shop,ribbon, rhinestones,pearls, Ranger Ice stickles.

Here are the very simple and easy steps:

1) Stamp Tilda directly on the coaster, one by one and color them with any medium that you like, I colored with Copic Ciao Markers. For the skin , I just used Skin White E00.I also put some Ice stickles on Tilda, specially you can see the Bubbling Tilda's wings, I love how it look.I distressed the coaster with Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

2) Stamp the sentiments on white cardstock , cut it out and inked with Vintage Photo+ Mustard Seed

3) Glue red gingham ribbon and lace on the doily then glued the colored Tilda( the coaster).

4) Decorate the doilies as shown on the picture or make it just follow your heart ( what you like ) :-))

5) Punch holes at the top and bottom of doily except the third one you just need to punch one hole at top.

6) Tie thread or ribbon through the holes to make the doily as a hanger. Voila! You have a beautiful Hanger!

I inked the white paper flower with Vintage Photo and put some ice stickles. I twisted and distressed the sentiment with Vintage Photo+Mustard Seed

I LOVE this sentiment very much and finally purchased them, looks so beautiful.I can't live without head pin:-))

Pearls and rhinestones made the project looks more elegant and they are a final touch.

I hope you have inspired with my project and don't forget to try out at home and also send to a friend as a special birthday gift , if you have out of idea what present you want to buy for her/him( just change to Edwin, :-)). So, don't buy any present that your friend don't like....make some Tilda hanger, sure she will LOVE it:-))

Happy viewing and have a great weekend:-)

Wedding Collection 2010

You can have this very charming and beautiful wedding rubberstamps from Magnolia:-))

Tilda Tussy Mussy Bonquet and some nice photos...

2010-05-08T18:57:00.010+08:00

Hello my friends,

How are you today? I feel so Vintage today and finally made something nice for you to view, this is my pleasure:-))

Well, this is Tussy Mussy.

What is tussy mussy? According to some web search, it's a Victorian-style bouquet where a small bouquet of flowers is carried in a metal vase specifically designed to be carried. Often comes with a stand so that at the reception it can become a centerpiece.

I am a cardmaker, papercrafter, so I incorporated this idea into papercraft. I used patterned paper instead a metal vase to carry the small bouquet of flowers! It was so easy to make and I bet you will be addicted once you try it!

OK, Here are some materials needed:

Magnolia Tilda stamp that you can get it here, and I colored with Copic Ciao Markers.

1. Patterned paper as the base. I used Magnolia Patterned Paper- Lazy Summer Days ~ White Lace. Cut the paper 20cmx22cm and roll it into a cone shape.

2. Vintage patterned paper- my friend Martina from Austria gave me as gift long time ago..thank you very much Martina.

3. More and more embelishments~ paper flowers from Prima Marketing and Tab Craft(unfortunately she closed it due to some personal issue, but it's a good one:-)), Head Pins,Pearls, Pearls chain, crystal brands which I got from my local shop for some very valueable price:-))

4. Doily ~ gift from Malin, my fellow Magnolia DT from Sweden.Thank you very much Malin:-)

~As long as you can get some embelishments from your stash then you can make this very simple yet beautiful Tussy Mussy:-))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How I make it:

1.Glue white lace and brown trim on the 2 sides of the patterned paper.

Roll the 20cmx22cm patterned paper into a cone shape.It will make the Tussy Mussy 29cm in height.

2. Roll the Vintage patterned paper to cover the cone shape.

3. Cut a medium lace flower from a used tablecolth ( I have a lot of this used tablecloth, and it's antique, I think:-) and glue it on the Vintage patterned paper.

4. Decorate the flowers, head pins, crystal brands as the picture shown.

5. Glue the colored Tilda on the Tussy Mussy...I also put some Ice stickles on her wing and shoes:-)

I also "swinged" the pearls chain along the Tussy Mussy to make it more elegant:-) You can decorate anything as you wish:-)

Paper flowers made the Tussy Mussy looks stunning. I love paper flowers:-)

Thank you for your viewing, if you have a friend who you want to give her a gift and you can try out this idea...put some small goodies..crafting supplies into the Tussy Mussy...she/he must be very happy when they received it.

I had fun making this little gem in this afternoon...hope that you get some inspiration and try it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I want to share some of the photos we taken when we bring our kids to a beach that near Malacca, the historical city in Malaysia. Yileen had fun playing at the beach and she reminded me she wanted to go again. The beach is very beautiful and the village has some stalls to sell fresh fish too:-)) The kids enjoyed very much, unfortunately Sam has photopbobia( LOL), I hardly show his photo here:-((

Thanks for viewing too:-))Hope you have a great weekend !

Magnolia DT Card~ Magnolia INK #2 Magazine Front Page Card~Tilda Chasing Butterflies~How to make a Magnolia Tilda Card

2010-03-31T17:01:00.007+08:00

GOSH!! The title is super long :-)) Oh my...I have waited too long to show you this card which featured on the front page of Magnolia INK #2 Magazine.....have you seen that?? I bet you have...but today I want to show you the whole card and a tutorial how to make a Magnolia Tilda card:-))

The card is very simple indeed and took me an afternoon to complete it.Thus...it's easy and simple to make a pretty-Scandinavia-Magnolia cards...as long as you know some tips....OK, here we go....

All materials from Magnolia rubberstamps, Sweden, except Ice stickles from Ranger and Pearls from Prima Marketing.

A) Tilda:

1) Stamp Tilda and flowers on Neenah white paper as the picture shown, you can stamp them on any white color paper as long as the color do not blur when you do your coloring.

2) Color Tilda with any color medium that you are comfortable with. For this Tilda,I colored it with Steadtler Color Pencils, blended with paper stumps and sansodor.

3) I used Vintage Photo distress ink to color the soil, add more water if you want light color and vs.

4) Stamp butterfly on the left hand side of Tilda. Stamp again on scrap paper, color it and cut out.Glue on the stamped butterfly, fold a bit to make it dimensional.

5) Sponge the edges of whole white paper with Vintage Photo distress ink ( this is my favourite color:-) and sponge more inside the card.

6) Mat the white paper on a light green cardstock, slightly bigger than it. Set aside...waiting to be use later....my cute Tilda;-))

(B) Label

1) Stamp Label on the Neenah white paper. Sponge Vintage Photo distress ink on it. Write some wording...I copied from Internet. Set a side.

(C) Card base ( I am so sorry that I totally forgot about the sizes of all the papers I used on this card...so sorry)

1) This is a 6"x6" card. I use burgandy color cardstock as the base.

2) Cut the ladybug patterned paper slightly smaller than 6"x6". I think maybe 5"x5"...oh...I really forgot...

3) Cut the green patterned paper bigger than the light green cardstock that you set aside before (that has Tilda on it)..Punch the right hand side with Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch.

4) Cut three burgandy gingham ribbons and adhere on the back of light green cardstock as shown on the picture. Two ribbons at the upper side and one on the bottom.

5) Mat the light green cardstock on the green patterned paper.

6) Place two ribbons( polka dot burgandy ribbon and sheer burgandy ribbon) on the ladybug patterned paper.

7) Adhere the whole green patterned paper( there has light green cardstock with Tilda on it) on the ladybug patterned paper ( with two ribbons on it).

8) Adhere the stamped label beside the green patterned paper.

9)Place all the flowers, leaves, rhinestones,pearls as shown on the picture. I punched the leaves with Martha Stewart punch.

10) Put some Ice stickles on flowers, label and butterfly.

Viola ! You have your very cute Magnolia Tilda card.

Some tips for you:

!) Use light patterned papers. Magnolia patterned papers are recommanded.

2) Use flowers...flowers...and flowers.....

3) Use distress inks to sponge the edges of papers....Vintage Photo, Antique linen, tea-dye ...

4) Use rhinestones, pearls, stickles to make it more elegant and stunning.

5) If able, make the card full with layers......
