Cute Magnolia Card

A little while ago I was asked to make a Granddaughter card for a soon to be four year old and so I used a cute Magnolia image along with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and SU Designer Series Papers to create the card below. Apologies for the slightly blurred image, unfortunately I no longer have the card to take another photo :(


Stamps: Non-SU: Magnolia.
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink and Whisper White. Designer Series Paper - Tea Party.
Ink Pad: Pretty In Pink. Non-SU: Memento Tuxedo Black.
Accessories: Sponge Daubler, Copics, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Numbers. Sentiment Computer Generated.
Card Size: A5.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards.

Hi all,

So, after having a great productive weekend of crafting, I now have a few cards to show you. I recently bought some more Magnolia stamps and Penny Black stamps, so what better way to spend the weekend than to stamp them up and colour them in ;)

Here's some cards made for the Christmas season:




Be back later with more cards...

Passion For Promarkers Challenge

Hi all,

Hope you're well and having a good week so far. I recently christened some of my cute Magnolia stamps that I bought *cough* back in December, and thought I'd use my Promarkers and give them a go with these cards.

I made two cards recently, in two different colour combos for a couple of friends and thought I'd post them now that it's safe to do so :) Thank you Aimes for suggesting I enter the first one in the Passion For Promarkers Challenge - Week 14 - A Passion For Purple, good idea!

I really enjoyed using this new stamp of mine and can't wait to stamp and colour more in the near future. Hope you like:



Stamps: Hostess Level 1 - Best Yet, Simply Said. Non-SU: Magnolia "Standing Fall Tilda".
Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Pixie Pink, Close To Cocoa and Chocolate Chip.

Accessories: SU Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch. Promarkers in various colours. Paper Shapers - Large Corner Rounder Punch.

Have a good day.
