2 birthday cards from Tori Hemingway

Happy Friday y'all!! I am posting 2 times this week!! Whoop Whoop! Ok, so I cheated a bit and made 2 cards Tuesday with the same papers and stamps.

I also used the Fairy Tale Butterfly image and a birthday sentiment from CC Designs. The DP is from MME's Summer Song pack from about a year ago. It is very bright and a little out of my comfort zone, but I am working with it!! I added Stickles to the butterfly and the flowers.

Copics used: E11, 00, 000, R20, Y38, 35, 32, Y0000, R37, 35, 33, 31, 30, E57, 55, 53, 50

Here is b.day card #2. I used Tilda with Small Gift for this one.

I used Tilda with Small Gift along with some Kioshi from Basic Grey. I distressed the edges of all of the papers. I used these Copic Markers: E11, 00, 000, R20, G24, 21, 20, V06, 04, 00, E57, 55, 53, 50

***Note: I changed the sentiment on the card I made yesterday to make it a birthday card too. This is the one in my Etsy store.

Supplies:

Stamps - Sweet Tilda, Fairy Tale Butterfly, Tilda with Small Gift, sentiment CC Designs

Paper - PTI Cardstock, MME Summer Song DP, kioshi DP (Basic Grey), Bazzill Cardstock

Ink - Memento, Copics

Accessories - Stickles, WOC flowers, fern punch, Nestabilities, PTI Ribbon, Distresser Tool,

Janette Olen's card: Pink and Flowers...how can you not love it?

I must say when I saw that challenge for 7 kids College Fund Challenge blog, I let out a happy giggle. The challenge is pink and flowers. I almost feel like I am cheating because I happen to LOVE both. I made my card for my youngest daughter who has been asking me to make her a pink ballerina card.



I colored Ballerina Tilda with copics and added stardust stickles to the bodice and trim of the tutu. Tilda was popped up on the oval which was embossed with a flower cuttlebug folder.

Here is a closer view where you can see a little of the sparkle

Beautiful cigar box by Julie Glasgow

I made another cigar box. This one found a home on the other side of the country, in Connecticut. 

I used Lady Tilda and the Once Upon a Time paper pack (DCWV) for the basis of the box. I really wanted to create a fairy tail on the box.

I just love this beautiful paper. It has so many color variations that the potential combinations go on and on.

I think a beautiful crochet lace is the perfect finish. I actually layered the lace over a piece of the paper to add some color interest. 

I used a gorgeous font and one of my favorites, Bickham Script. I love the classic, old fashioned feel of this font.  The hardware is part of the Tim Holtz Alterations collection.

I used Copics to color my image. I am still learning pleats which is not an easy concept for me. I must say, I love the regal color of her dress, and it matches the paper perfectly. 

Of course, a beautiful princess must have flowers on her box. 

The castle was cut from the paper.  To me, it feels mysterious, like a castle on a cloud.

The feet are part of the Tim Holtz Alterations collection.

I finished the inside of the box with some of the paper, fleece, a die cut (Cricut) and  this lovely butterfly.

I was so excited to get a chance to play with this sweet Tilda with all her clover! I love the green and cream together....seems so very Irish to me! I think the Tim Holtz paper rosette really completes the project. He has another one out now too that is a bit smaller. You can see the little one here.

Beautiful card from Julie Glasgow

It's time for another 7 Kids College Fund Challenge! If you are like me, this challenge is right up your alley. We are Calling All Squares (cards that is). I love to make square cards, and we hope you will join us and show us your square card.

Here is my card for the week...

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund

Stamps: Tilda With Apple  

Ink: Staz-On, Distress Ink,

Accessories:  Flowers, Stickles, Copics Airbrush System 

 

I made this for a very dear friend who let us stay with her while I was at CHA. We have a big history with Disney and I thought she would like to add this to her Snow White Collection.

I used my Copics Airbrush System to color my flower. I then used Stickles to carry some of the sparkle from the paper into the rest of the card.

I also added Stickles to my frame, which I liked how it represents the frame around the mirror in Snow White.

I used metallic paper for the frame. This picture shows some of the sparkle on the card.

A couple cards from Jessica Fick

Good morning!

Today, I'm sharing a card I designed for this week's Outlawz Coloring Mediums challenge: Anything Goes!  We were given free reign to create a card for this week using whatever theme or supplies we would like to with the exception of Copic markers.  So, I pulled out my colored pencils, odorless mineral spirits, and blending stumps and colored these adorable kitty images from Penny Black's Purrfect Day stamp set - they crack me up!  I put the grouchy cat on the card front and the happy cat on the inside...

Ink: Versafine black
Card stock: DCWV patterned; PTI white
Other: Martha Stewart border punch; MFT die; colored pencils, oms, blending stumps; SU ribbon; Martha Stewart butterfly punch; rhinestones

Here's a closer look at my 5.5" square card's focal image. I just love this Magnolia Tilda as a Butterfly image - she is so cute!  I choose to use a couple of patterned papers from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker 8x8 paper pack for the color inspiration for Tilda.

Ink: Distress; Memento
Card stock: October Afternoon patterned; Neenah cream; SU textured

After stamping and coloring Tilda, I took the Distress Blending tool and Distress Old Paper ink to distress the Neenah cream card stock a bit.  I also added some shading to the butterfly and flower die cuts.

Tilda with Balloon by Janette Olen

I just received this absolutely adorable Tilda stamp the other day and I just could not wait to ink her up. She is called Tilda with Balloon from the Magnolia You are So Special collection and they are now in stock at 7 Kids College Fund. All the stamps in this collection are super cute but this one is my favorite. Isn't she sweet?



I colored Tilda with copics and I inked the edges with Tattered Rose distress ink. Then I gave my card some sparkle by adding my favorite Stardust Stickles to just about everything- Tilda's bow and trim on the dress, edges of the papers, and the tips of the roses.

I don't tend to used lots of yellow, but this dress just begged for yellow!! The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I distressed all of the edges with a distresser tool and inked around all of the edges. The papers are from an old DP set - Chloe's Closet from MM. I added lots of Stickles to the flowers, dress, tiny gift, and swirl. I used 2 leaf punches that can be found here.

Copics Used:

E11, 00, 000, R30, E57, 55, 53, 50, E37, 35, 33, 30, Y23, Y21, Y0000, B95, 93, 91, W5, 3, 00

Supplies:
Stamps - Tilda with Small Gift, sentiment (Hero Arts)
Paper - Cardstock (SU), Chloe's Closet DP (MM)
Ink - Memento, Copics, SU Ink
Accessories - Stickles, Nestabilities, Fern Punch, Distresser Tool, Sponge, Flowers (WOC), swirl punch (EK Success), leaf punch
