Lemoncraft Challenge - January Moodboard - Shabby Chic

 Hello everyone...New Year and new resolution to start updating my blog again regularly. 

I am participating in the Lemoncraft Challenge this month is all about Shabby Chic so I used their lovely papers - Forget me Not with lovely blue tones of colours. The link to their challenge is here

 

I don't know if I mentioned Lemoncraft paper before but they are a Polish company who make lovely paper pads and also have a monthly secret package you can get for 120 PLZ. Beautiful lace, chipboard, flowers and of course the lovely papers.

 

Since I did not feel like making a card .....I created a small house instead. I have used Lady E Hydrangea dies for the hydrangeas and used a Magnolia Doohickey die to make the windows. Lots of flowers, paper cut outs, dies, and lovely accessories. The clock and heart badge on the door are also from Lemoncraft.

Wishing you a great week ahead!

Magnolia Valentine Pop Up Box

Hi everyone how are you all doing today? I am sharing with you my latest card which is a Valentine card for my husband.

He has helped a lot with the craft room so he deserves one :)

This cute Tilda is from the new Valentine Pop Up Box

I have coloured her with Albrecht Durer pencils on Neenah Desert Storm kraft paper

 I have used several dies which I am going to link. The small tag with the white rose stuck on it is from this Magnolia doohickey set from the Pop Fizz Collection.

Here's the banner from this cutie die set. The fence can be found here as well.

The side sentiment comes with the stamp set and so do the paw prints. I have then added some glossy accents on them.

Paper is Maja Design - Denim & Girls and Denim & Friends.

Flowers are part Magnolia and part from Wild Orchid Crafts. The small wooden hearts are a present from a friend of mine :)

Hope you like my creation today and I wish you a great week ahead!

TOMIC Challenge January 2020 - WINTER

Happy 2020 everyone!

Wishing you all the best things in life but most of all health :)

We have started the year with a new TOMIC challenge over at Magnolia and the theme for January is WINTER.

I have used a Laserowelove bauble made out of chipboard which I stained with Distress Ink - gathered twigs

I have used several dies from the Magnolia Doohickey Volume 7. This gorgeous Tilda is from the Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010 and is called Tilda in Winter Light which I have also coloured with distress inks

I have used a cinnamon stick at the back of the flowers on top. Some white pomegranates and chipboard stars and some lovely Magnolia flowers too :)

I hope you enjoyed my creation today and I most of all hope you will participate in our challenge with your fantastic creations.

Sending you all my love

Scrapboys Dream Garden

Good morning Craftezee friends how are you all doing? This week am back sharing a get well soon card I created using Scrapboys lush paper called Dream Garden from our shop.

I have used kraft paper as a base cardstock and use the lovely mirage lace to create a scalloped design under the gorgeous papers.

The small letters are from Laserowelove lowercase chipboard set on top of which I placed some platinum glitter.

The flowers are made from Lady E Flower 001 set using vellum paper and some pastel oil on them.

I have placed a cord around the centre and then stuck the flowers and fussy cut from the same paper set to give it dimension.

Hope you're having a great weekend so far and I also wish you a great week ahead

Magnolia Christmas Winter card

Good morning everyone hope you're having a great weekend :)

Today I want to share with you a card I created for a friend of mine for Christmas.

I am using North Pole Tilda, she is from the Winter Wonderland Collection of 2013. I love her curly hair and the heart on her boots. 

I have used almost all the dies in the from the Magnolia Vintage Box 4 including the lovely frame that comes with it.

The flowers are made by using vellum paper which is a new favourite of mine. The flower die is also part of the Vintage Box 4

I have used some round bonbons and lots of embellishments on this one.

I decided to stick to the soft pink and light taupe colour plus kraft paper of course (another favourite of mine).

I wish you a pleasant week ahead my dear crafty friends

Gift Bag

Good morning lovely people hope you are all feeling the Christmas spirit already :)

We are now at the stage of preparing the Christmas goodies, like cookies and cakes which obviously end up being consumed before Christmas Day so at some point one has to provide for more.

This week I also started preparing some gift bags to place some gifts in and I am sharing one of them with you today.

I have used the Mintay Home for Christmas papers and die cut a background as a base out of the checkered paper. 

Then I cut out one of the lovely small windows from the paper pad and placed a Bloomar chipboard frame which I embossed in white around the central image and upped it with foam pads for dimension.

Before that though I placed two dies out of the Scrapman die (link below) to look like snowflake at the back. Flowers are made from paper using Rosy Owl dies and the leaves are from Lady E Poinsietta set. I used distress ink in the centre basically some aged mahogany and frayed burlap.

The Nutcracker is also from the same paper set. In the centre of the paper flowers I have used some stamens and some clear freckled glass.

I wish you all a great week ahead

Magnolia TOMIC December Challenge - Christmas Gift Box

 We are back again with the last challenge of the year which is Christmas Gift Box.

For you this month I created a light up shadow box on which am using the latest Magnolia Pop Up Box - Merry Christmas

I have coloured Tilda up with distress inks and I have also coloured up the lovely fire place which is now behind the window. I have used a small metal frame and cut out a snowman picture from some Maja design papers.

The papers I have used on my project are all from Maja Design - Winter in the Alps 2019

I have also used some Christmas lace die from Magnolia on the side of the box and the poinsiettas and leaves are also from Magnolia. Hope you like my little creation and I wish you all the very best for the week ahead :)
