Butterflies and Flowers

It is my day to post a card for the MSL Butterfly Challenge.  I have created a card using the new Spellbinders Wings of Hope Die and the McGill Punches.

Here is a peek at the card.  I am showing you the Hydrangea that I made with the McGill punches.

I just love working with the McGill punches.  I also made another flower that is on the bottom of the card.  I cut the center of the card out in a circle shape so I could put my Magnolia image on the inside of the card but she would peek through.

I used Basic Grey Sweet Threads cardstock.  Here is the card that I made:

I hope this inspires you to make a card of your own! 

Happy Thursday!

Girly Card

It is my day to post a Girly Card for SSCC.  I decided to make a card that didn't have an image on it.  This is a little different than most of my cards, but I wanted to work outside the box.  Here is the card that I made:

I used Basic Grey Papers Sweet Threads, Spellbinders Wings of Hope, rhinestones,and ribbon.  Here is a closeup of the butterfly in Wings of Hope.

It is hard to see the different dimensions that I have done with the cardstock and the butterfly on top.  So here is a look at the side view of the card.

Hope you like my card and that it inspires you to create a card of your own.

Happy Sunday!

Hugs, Meg

Stamping Tilda

We are starting a new challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers!  You need to use Basic Grey cardstock on your card.  I have created a card using Sweet Threads Basic Grey cardstock. I cut the cardstock using Stamping Scrapping's new Card Creator Dies.  You are going to love these!

 I used the new Magnolia stamp - Stamping Tilda on my card.   I think this stamp is super adorable!  Here is a peek at the card:

I used the Sew Ribbon Weave Tool on the ribbon I put on the card. I used a Bo Bunny flower and placed another little Stampin Tilda on the flower.  This Tilda was stamped on shrink plastic, colored slightly, and then heated with my heat tool.  

I also used rhinestones on the corner of the card.  So here is my finished card - I hope this inspires you to create a card of your own!

Happy Sunday!  Hugs, Meg

Sentiment Card

This is a card that I am posting for the MSL Challenge.  I had a hard time doing a sentiment only card, especially with a Magnolia sentiment only.  I do not have too many of those, and they do not take up the whole card.  I had to add a small image to my card to make it look a little complete, so please forgive me!

Here is my card, and I hope you like it!  I am sure it will inspire you to make a Sentiment Card of your own!

I used a new Martha Stewart punch on this card!

Happy Wednesday (Hump Day)

Emerging Colors

I have created two cards today using an emerging color technique.  The tutorial for this technique can be found on the Stamping Scrapping Tutorial Site.  If you haven't joined this site, you are missing a plethora of ideas, techniques, discounts, etc.  It is truly worth it.

Hope you like the cards that I have created!

This first card used a Magnolia stamp from the new collection.

This next card is using a stamp set that is exclusive to Stamping Scrapping.  I love ladybugs, and this is an awesome set.  Sweet Bugs is here and Bug Hugs is here.

Happy Saturday!

Hugs, Meg

Tilda with Hearts

Today is a new day for the Magnolia Challenge!  We are all about punches!  I have created a Tilda with Hearts card that uses several different Martha Stewart punches on the card.

One of my favorite Martha Stewart punches right now is the one you can punch anywhere.  If you can tell, the punch is of hearts.

I also used one of the Martha Stewart border punches for this card.  The sentiment is a Maggie stamp.  Here is a closeup of Tilda!

The papers are from Deja Vues.  I hope you are inspired to "Punch" out some cards of your own!

Happy Sunday!

Let me tell you about a Rooster!

The other day, one of my good friends and I, we went to a Wine and Design event at Artistic Abandon!  Wow, this is so much fun.  We had done one before but this time I took pictures of the journey!  So, we drink a little wine and start with a blank canvas!

See the wine to the left of the canvas!  We then painted the canvas black!

Next we started on the Rooster.  I wasn't quite sure I really like my Rooster when I started.  I thought it was too fat or something.  

I guess I wasn't sure I like the head, but it grew on me.  We were painting with red, green, white and yellow.  Next, we started adding some blue.

This is when I started liking the Rooster.  I think it was because I really liked the blue!  We then started working on the tail.

We also did the grass and added a bit of red to the tail.  Now we are really adding the color, the eye, and finishing the Rooster!  So, what do you think?  I think the more you drink, the better you paint!  LOL!

Happy Wednesday!

Hugs, Meg
