Tilda's Collection of Easter Eggs

Hello folks! Easter is coming up and Tilda already has a collection of eggs, ready to hide for her friends. The papers on this card are Pion Design's "Fairytale of Spring".

Tilda is colored with Faber-Castell's yummy Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. I'll be using these a lot more! The bench is color with Prismacolor pencils (still a favorite!).

There's a tag tucked in on the right side, with loads of flowers to pull the tag out.

Large panel for Happy Easter wishes!

Thanks for visiting today! I have a few more Easter cards to share over the next week or two. Yay!

Cheers,

Magnolia's Tilda With An Easter Lamb

Hello hello! More Easter and more Tilda cuteness coming at you today. :)

I used two Magnolia stamps for this card, standing Tilda in front of an open gate. I love this card and it might be my favorite of all the Easter cards... or maybe the next one I post will be! Hahaha.

I used the last bits of my Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime papers and loads of lovely Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  The seam binding is threaded through a vintage mother of pearl button from my collection.

Tilda, the sweet little lamb and even the fence and flowers are layered for a 3 dimensional effect. Everything is colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS.

Here's the coordinating inside panel.

Thanks for visiting today! I hope you have a creative day.

Cheers,

Magnolia's Tilda with the Easter Bunny!

Hiya crafty friends! I have another Easter card to share with you today. I've been having fun making these little ladies!

I think this Tilda is my all-time favorite because of her hat. I want a hat just like hers. :) See the pearl brad on the coral flower? I thought it looked a little too formal, so I put bisque Liquid Pearls dots on it - now it's fun!

I also used a Magnolia tree stamp and make it into a cherry tree to complement the cherry design on the base layer. Funny that the cherries are barely visible on the finished card. Ha!

Tilda, bunny and tree are all cut out and layered. The plaid lines on the pants were done with a Copic Multiliner pen, and everything was colored with Prismacolor pencils. Papers are all from the My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy Tickled Pink collection. It's perfectly springy!

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a grand day!

Cheers,
Susan

Tilda's Easter Chick

Hi crafty friends! I've been working on Magnolia Easter cards lately and want to share one with you today.

I used My Mind's Eye's Indie Chic 6x6 papers, Prima and Petaloo paper flowers and a gorgeous hand crocheted flower from Willow Folk.

Tilda and her little chick are layered and pop off the card front. She's quite proud of her little friend!

Here's a detail from the inside of the card, with another layered chick. So cute!

Thanks for stopping in today! I have more Easter cards to share over the next few weeks, so check back for more Magnolia cuteness!

Cheers,

Bo Bunny Gabrielle Mini Album

Hiya folks! So I finally finished this chunky 6x6 album and want to share it with you today. The base is very sturdy acrylic, although you don't see any of it. Ever square millimeter is covered with the GORGEOUS Bo Bunny Gabrielle paper or paint. I used a combination of 12x12 paper designs and the 6x6 pad. There is also a lot of machine sewing throughout - great for texture!

Flowers throughout are Prima, Wild Orchid, Petaloo, Dusty Attic and who knows what other manufacturers. Haha! There are a lot of them - both in this album and in my stash!

The butterflies are layered and the wings are bent up. You can see it better in the first photo. The antenna are handmade using black jewelry wire dipped in glue. Once dried they were dipped in glossy black paint.

The first two pages have two removable photo mats and more flowers.

Pages 3 and 4 have large mats topped with frilly cotton crochet.

Pages 5 and 6; the large butterfly on the left is layered and glittered all over. Pretty!

Pages 7 and 8 - two mats on the right, one large mat on the left with a separate journaling card.

Pages 9 and 10 have two tags and two large mats.

The back page coordinates with the rest!

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Susan

A Lovelorn Halloween

The months fell away and he never returned to her.

Happy Halloween, folks! I'll be having chocolate and wine for dinner as the neighborhood kids shiver up to the front door. Bad example? Meh. :) Something has to keep me warm!

Custom Invitations

Hiya crafty peeps! Here's a small stack of finished invitations on a big order. I have a wee bit over a hundred more to make and I'm thinking it will be one heck of a festive event!

I'm hoping to eek out a few more Halloween projects in the next week. I think the invitation process is streamlined enough that I can afford the time to get a little more spooky. Maybe... :)

I hope your creative juices are flowing!

Cheers,
Susan
