Join the Circus!

 Good morning!  Have you seen the new collection from Magnolia?  I am in love with them all!  I spent many happy hours over the weekend painting them all and here is my first card with one of them!  You will find the full collection at Craft Heaven.

 I painted Edwin Circus Manager with Distress Inks and added some dots to his cheeks with a white gel pen.  There was a large dot stamp in the kit which I have taken to be a juggling ball.  I added some foam balls in the same colours as the balls I have painted.

 The sentiment is also in the collection.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Pop over to the Craft Heaven blog for more ispiration from the rest of the team. x

May The Force Be With You!

 Good evening!  I am back after a little break with my latest card for Craft Heaven using the super cute stamps from the Galaxy Collection and paper from Maja Design.

My little nephew loves Star Wars so these two were perfect to use on his card.  The Maja Design paper was perfect for a 'starry sky'!  As always, I've painted the images with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.  I have also added Glossy Accents to the droid, lightsabre and Tilda's boots.

I also used the moon stamp from the Galaxy Collection, stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink and shaded with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I've added some lustre with a Wink of Stella pen.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

You're a star!

Hello fellow crafters!

Barbara with you today...

Here is my newest project for the Craft Heaven Shop DT.

I really, really love all the blue tones in Maja Design's Denim & Friends collection so I decided to have a play with those. And of course I had to use the Monochromes too. These Shades of Denim are sooo beautiful and I love the fact that they match perfectly the whole collection.

Here is my Tilda with Flower in her Pocket from the Country Girl Collection 2017 coloured with Distress Inks.
I used the Ranger White Opaque Pen for the highlights in her eyes and some White Opal Liquid Pearls all around her.
Everything is safely sealed with a tiny bit of Distress Micro Glaze.

As usual I placed a doily back there and lots of layers and stitching.

The Doohickeys I used this time are:

Vintage Square, Star Tag, Jeans Pocket and Two Stitched Oblongs.

Some light touches of Dina Wakley Media Gesso here and there,

more Liquid Pearls all around the scalloped oval behind the image.

And a part of the edging band of the 12x12 Sneakers sheet I used, placed as a sweet sentiment.

I think this is it.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
See you again in a few days!
Hugs,
Barbara GR

Merry Christmas ... 🎄

Good morning,

this time one day later as usual. Here is my inpiration for this week. I made a new christmas card for you. It's a christmas card in non-usual holiday colours but from time to time I also like this =)

I used an older Tilda for this card. I grabbed her in a second hand group and I'm so happy about her. She is dressed so lovely with her sweet hat.  

 

For the decoration I used different cutting dies from Magnolia: Christmas Tree, Star Tag, Old Swedish Lace and Bow. After cutting them out I covered them lightly with Gesso. The ski cutting dies are from Whiff of Joy (sadly no more available). On the ski in the front I stamped "Merry Christmas". The sentiment is also from Magnolia.

The pretty patterned papers are from Maja's Joyous Winterdays collection and Vintage Frost Basics collection. Behind the image I put a little piece of the 4'' round Doily.

The star tags are removable. On each of them I stamped a sentiment from Magnolia (they are from lat year's vintage box).

Hugs,

Susen

Daisy..

Happy Saturday people!

I'm a bit late with this post and you might have seen this card already on our DT Irene's blog
but it's totally worth taking another look if that's so..

Our Irene never stops to amaze us!
Her colouring is breathtaking and all those bright colours make this Tilda alive..
Her name is Tilda with Umbrella - Daisy and it's one of the gorgeous stamps from the
Yay, it's your Birthday collection 2017..
She used Prismacolor pencils for this image and a Jet Black Archival Ink pad to stamp her..
The Aladdin Pattern and Postmarks around and behind her are an awesome accent, don't you think?

For the card's base Irene picked a Magnolia Doohickey called Vintage Squares..
And that's not the only Magnolia die she used..
See the Denim Tags up there?

She mixed and matched all kinds of paper she had in her stash and among them are some from Maja Design..
She used a sheet from the Sofiero 6x6 Paper Pad and the Vintage Autumn Basics 6x6 Paper Pad as well..
 

Lots of different layers..
Doilies, vellum accents..
Beautiful WOC flowers..
And she even attached two cute butterflies that keep Tilda company..

That's all for today..

Have a great weekend people!
And craft a lot!!!

Hugs, Tina and the Craft Heaven Shop DT

Tilda with Big Poppy..

It's another outrageously gorgeous card!

Now let's go back to this fantastic card..

Our Irene loves layers..

She mixed some Maja Design papers from the I Wish Collection with a Pion Design sheet from the To My Valentine line..

She also recycled a bit of corrugated cardboard and used some ornated oval and circular cutting dies..

Some tiny branches cut out of the same paper sheets with a punch and a few paper flowers and bling for that final touch..

Even more dimension on the inside with some more die-cuts raised with foam tape..
The Maja papers have those amazing patterns on both sides so if you make your card's base out of those you will get a beautiful inside like this too..
Just fab!

Irene stamped Tilda and that cute little Snail with Jet Black Archival Ink, used her Prismacolor pencils to colour them up and then made the white dotted highlights with a Ranger White Opaque Pen..

She used a GoKreate die for the card's base..

Star Wars..

Morning people!

From a fairytale to sci-fi..
Yeah.. Our DT Susen is a big fan of Star Wars and you can only imagine her joy when Magnolia released the Galaxy Collection this year..
Woohoo!
Check out this fab card!

Finally we can share a creation made with the latest Maja Design Collection called Denim & Friends..
These amazing papers have a perfect match.. The Monochromes - Shades of Denim..
Single color papers with one shade on each side, one lighter and one darker..
Of course Susen used some of those too..
They have a white core which makes them exquisite to emboss, sand or tear and they give great effect on any craft project..

 As said before these two fun characters belong to the Galaxy Collection 2017..
They are called Edwin With Laser Sword and Tilda with XOXO..
Susen coloured them with Distress Inks, made the highlights with a Ranger White Opaque Pen and sealed the coloured image with some Distress Micro Glaze..

There are quite a few layers of cardstock on this card and Susen thought the white border made with the Old Swedish Lace would be a great accent..
She was right!

So many stars on here..

The two tags are also Magnolia Doohickey dies and if you want them we have great news..

Those and many other dies are coming in store along with the newly released

Yay, it's your Birthday Collection 2017..

The medallion holding the with love sentiment is from the Space Medallions set..

You're a Star says one of the 12x12 paper edge bands..

Ain't that a magnificent accent?

And all those different stitches around the edges.. Loooove..

 We hope you enjoyed your stay guys..
Bye-bye for now!
