I know that every time I show a Magnolia I gush about how adorable they are . . . this one has my heart.  These are sure favorites with some of the little girls in my life (you know who you are *wink*).   I love to keep a stash of these around for my special little ladies and try to make up gift boxes or baskets to go with them as well.  This one is #346 Tilda with Ladybug.  In the depths of my studio I knew I had these wooden ladybugs and I thought they would go perfectly with the card.   I have been dying to use this Spellbinders On the Vine Borderabilities Grand with all the vines and curlicues – it is sure to become one I use often.  When I looked at the Mojo Monday Sketch one thing fell into place after the other.

To make the card I cut all my circles with Spellbinders Standard Large Circles and Spellbinders Standard Small Circles.  After intertwining the vine with the hollowed out circle and threading the sentiment through, I added the wooden lady bugs and pearls.  To make the box I followed this sweet tutorial from the Scor-Pal library, this specific project can be found HERE.  Once I know the recipient I’ll add coloring cards and a bundle of new crayola crayons tied with a bow :).

Project Recipes:

Stamps:  Magnolia from Magnolia-licous – #387 Tilda with Ladybug, Magnolia Sentiment
Paper:  Bazzill, DP from my stash
Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Spellbinders On the Vine Borderabilities Grand, Spellbinders Standard Large Circles, Spellbinders Standard Small Circles, Wooden Lady Bugs,  Pearls, Martha Stewart Lattice Arch Border Punch, EK Success Scalloped Scallop Border Punch

Its a busy week, hope to see you later!

Do you know how hard it is to make something with the letter "Q"?  Well actually it’s not, only if you have a temporary mojo block like I did.  Okay, I’ll explain.  I’m hosting the Tuesday challenge over at CreatedByHand.  The best part of the challenge was that the challenge was assigned to me – I like it that way because it makes me stretch my artistic muscle and use my noggin’.  The hard part of the challenge was to create something that would hopefully inspire people like me – who lurk – to go over and take a look and be inspired enough to come up with something to contribute.  Since it is my week, I’m thowing down the gauntlet . . . I dare you to s-t-r-e-t-c-h :-)


If you’ll look closely, my card spells the word "Quote".  The "Q" is obscured just a little bit, it couldn’t be helped, I just had to use ribbon (*wink*).   The stamps used here are from Quietfire Design.   Each letter is overstamped  using the same stamp used on my card yesterday (When You Get to the End).   Next I stamped the sentiment called Fill Your Paper, on my suggested letter "o" , which is the layered Spellbinders Labels Four.  Everything is smudged with Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – Fill Your Paper, When You Get to the End
Paper:  The Paper Company – Khaki, Bazzill, K & Co – Tim Coffee Autumn
Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Four, Ribbon, Bling

As you know, I like all genres of stamps and challenge myself to use them.  I’m left handed and tried my hand at calligraphy years ago and somehow patience was not on my side.  I say that to say that I adore the stamps I’m working with, Suzanne hand letters each one of these designs – gosh, I only wish I could do that.    Well to use them is a little bit of living vicariously.  As you stamp and create, remember to go where your heart goes . . . 

Okay, well that’s my story today and I’m sticking to it – big wink*

Can I just tell you that I think this is my very, very favorite Quietfire Sentiment . . . that is until the next set of stamps comes out he…he…. Seriously, I have been waiting to ink this stamp up and then I remembered this lovely print paper I had been holding aside for a special occasion.  So here it is – the stamps is called  "When You Get to the End"

The sentiment is large enough to be the focal part of the card, so I decided to do port holes with ribbon down the left side of the card to balance it out a bit.  I filled some of the bottom with a panel of pearls across the bottom.  The ribbon in the port holes is secured at the top and bottom and then each piece of ribbon is tied around the vertically secured ribbon.  If you are so inclined you can glue a bow there, I’m partial to actually tying them on to something. 

Tip:  This is a 5" x 7" card, and my preference is for top hinged cards – many have asked how I do that.  I used an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper, cut landscape at 5" and 10" giving two panels that are 8.5" x 5".  One of the panels is cut down to 7" x 5" and the other panel is scored at 7" along the short side and the flap folded down along the back.  I then glue that  flap on top of 7" x 5" panel.  It gives me  a seam on the inside, back panel of the card which is high enough it can easily be covered with a border.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire – When You Get to the End
Paper:  The Paper Company – Shimmer Sand Cover, Sunrise Vine, Shimmer Highlight
Ink:  Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Pearls, Ribbon, EK Success 3/4" punch, EK Success 1" punch

Be blessed my friends.  I’m looking forward to next week and hope you stop by to see me.

    Amazing, as in Grace…your creations are very elegant and soothing to the eye! The softness of this card, along with the sentiment should be put in a frame!ReplyCancel

    Oh, this is amazing! I *LOVE* what you did with the ribbon! The colors, the sentiment… it’s all so gorgeous. Your talent seriously rocks my world!ReplyCancel

    Oh my, that’s pretty. Love the portholes, and the sentiment. At first when I read your tip about making your card that size I thought,”Huh?”
    But after re-reading it, the light bulb went on, and I thought , “Oh, now I get it! Cool!” Having the shot of the card slightly opened helped me see how you did that with the border inside. Thanks for sharing your tips along with your gorgeous cards.ReplyCancel
