Happy Halloween !!

Hi everyone,

On this terrifying day of Halloween, I offer you something that I had never done before: a "lollipop card" understand: a card in the shape of a lollipop!

I used a Magnolia stamp from the "Halloween 2018" collection and two kinds of round Crea-Nest-Lies dies available at Craft Heaven Shop.

My flowers are made in white Foamiran and glued on different paper leaves.

I cut out my moon with a punch in white paper on which I came to do "Hickory Smoke" Distress tasks.

For my lollipop stick, I used a big white straw (Ikea) that I covered with black washi tape.

I embellished it all with various dies and ribbons from my basar box!

So, I'll leave you, I'll go put on my witch costume and stuff myself with candy !!

Diamond wedding

Hello Everyone,

No card today, and no coloring either (it's extremely rare) but a pretty explosion box made for a rather special birthday since we celebrated the diamond wedding anniversary of my in-laws (don't go on Google on purpose, that's 60 years of marriage!)

I cut my box and its cover in smooth white bazzil which I then covered with very pretty printed papers from the "Miles Apart" collection by Maja Design.

I cut the leaves from printed paper, crumpled with my fingers for a more natural effect.

I then made the flowers in white Foamiran slightly heated with an iron and just curved with the "ball" tool without handling by hand to thin it.

For the interior, I used the superb "3D Cake" die created by Lady E Design, embellished with some mini roses and a strip of craft paper cut with an Ek Success punch.

As a basis for my decoration, I used the round and square Crea-Nest-Lies scalloped dies.

Well, that's all for today !

Kisses

Tilda on the beach

Hellooooooo everybody !

No, I'm not dead! just very busy with my professional activities which do not leave me much time to devote myself to scrapbooking, unfortunately... :(

I hope you are well and that you had a great summer.

I come back with this pretty doll from the "Summer Collection 2021" : Soda Beach Tilda

And, and, and ... For once, I wanted to go back to my very first cards from 10 years ago and color them with colored pencils! So I took out my pretty box of Faber Castell and I embarked on a mini beach scene sticking perfectly with this little girl in a swimsuit.

See you soon

Free Hugs

 Hello!

Here I am with a new creation for you!

My sister in law asked me to make something to thanks her coworkers during coronavirus pandemic time. They have to change wokplaces for a while.

So I choose to make a tag using Free Hugs Arts Stamp Kit from 2019 Live Laugh Love Collection and still available in Craftheaven shop. 

Design papers used are from 12x12 Maja Design Denim & Girls collection.

The thag is made using Bazzill Classic 12x12x- Kraft.

I used Tilda Doily die ... for image bacground.

 

The bow on dthe top is made with Vintage Seam Binding.

I added few white roses  and White Gesso here and there oner the tag.

I sealed my image with Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze. 

This is the perfects water resistent sealer for all my craft projects.

Heve a nice day and happy crafting!

Hugs!!! Barbara GR

United colors of love

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, I saw this image pass on a very well-known social network :

"It's not the color of our skin that makes us different, it's the color of our thoughts"

I found it so beautiful and strong in meaning that I wanted to make a little card out of it by trying my hand, for the first time, at coloring darker skin.

Magnolia stamps from the "Lovely Collection 2021":

Love Letter Tilda

Snail Mail Tilda

Lace Heart Tilda

 

Text stamp Stempelglede

Paper from the 6x6 '"Summertime" Maja Design block

Die Crealies n ° 70

The 3 dolls are sufficient on their own, I voluntarily opted for a very simple sketch by adding almost nothing except 3 mini roses coordinated with the colors of my paper.

I hope that you will like her !

Open the Window !

Hello everyone,

A very simple card today, just to highlight these two very pretty Magnolia stamps coordinated with the green papers of the equally attractive "Miles Apart" collection by Maja Design.

(links at the end of the article)

For more realism and transparency, I cut each tile with a cutter and placed a piece of rhodoïd behind my first paper.

I also glued 3 very small roses on the roses of the stamp;) and used this "scalloped rectangle" die from My Favorite Things that I love !!

Have a beautiful end of day !

with love

Hello everyone,

Today I am offering you a very girly birthday card, made once again with the wonderful collection of "Miles Apart" papers from Maja Design that I love !! (link at the end of the article)

I'll tell you a secret: the blues are as beautiful as the roses, can't wait to scrap them too !!

Stamp "Hippity Hoppity 2019: Flower Bunny Tilda", Magnolia

Dies "Fence" and "Chicken Wire", Magnolia

All thicknesses of papers are mounted on 3D foam to provide depth.

To dress my barrier, I mixed some pretty ready-made roses with two "house" flowers in white Foamiran. The leaves are made of paper.

Frankly, have you ever seen something so cute ??

Another doll that fits in the Top 10 of my favorite stamps ever ... well, the problem is that there are indeed about fifty stamps in my Top 10 ...

See you soon

Lilly
