Just Magnolia, Anything Goes!

Happy Friday! A few weeks ago I was contacted by Marciava, about doing some custom name frames for her and her girls. She gave me the themes, colors and we decided which Tilda would go with the theme. I will be putting up a link in my Etsy Shop once I get a chance. If you are interested in a custom name frame please email me at StampinMindy@yahoo.com 

This is also my project for Just Magnolia and hAngler Challenge Blog. Our theme this week is Anything Goes with Ribbon being the 'optional'. I hope you can come play along with us!

That's all for now. I really want to go and stamp today.. after being so inspired from CHA and getting new goodies I want to go play! Have a great day!

Yippie.....I'm going to CHA...and Just Magnolia card :)

Happy Friday everyone! Well yesterday was my baby's birthday. Katie is 4 years old now. I feel like that's the official age of non baby/toddler. Now she's a kid (stuck in a 2 year olds body) She's REALLY small for her age. Great things come in small packages, right?

I have a card for Just Magnolia. Our challenge is a sketch, by Donalda. Such a fabulous sketch it is too. I hope you can come play along.

I'm getting really excited CHA is next week and I'll be there on Sunday - Tuesday. I get to meet some amazing friends I have made through my design teams...I will be in the Scor-Pal booth with my design team sisters Diana, Angie, Barb, Suzanne and hopefully I will be able to make it over to the Stampavie booth so I can meet my Just Magnolia sister Michelle. Anyone else who's going to CHA be sure to come say hi!!!! :)

That's all for now I've got TONS to do!

Magnolia stamps are SO versatile!

Happy Halloween. Well almost. I Looooooooove this card. I really wanted to put a few more different Tildas, Bunny Tilda, Princess Tilda, Robin Hood Edwin, Sailor Edwin, Witch Tilda but just these 3 and the 4 pumpkins took me about 3-4 hours to color this image and get the masking right, another 1-2 hours figuring out the rest of the card. I couldn't make up my mind on how I wanted it. But it finally came together. I really like it too.

This card is for Just Magnolia and Fussy and Fancy. Our challenge at Just Magnolia is 2x2's you can do anything you want if it's in 2s. My 2s are ... 2 brads, 2 bows, 2 different types of ribbon, 2 buttons, 2 stamens, 2 cherry blossoms 2 rosebuds, 2 different color card stocks and 2 different patterned papers. Over at Fussy and Fancy our challenge is Halloween. Super fun!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Ballerina Birthday!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!! My good friend, Sherri's Birthday was on Tuesday and I made this card for her. She loves pink so I wanted to make her a pink card with lots of sparkles and just full on girly! I hope you like it Sherri!

Over at Just Magnolia we have a fun challenge. Lace it up. You can use lace on your card or lace up ribbon. I decided to do both and the Ballerina Tilda went perfectly with what I had in mind.

I'm so sorry for not participating in the RRR Blog hop. I was a little overwhelmed last week and weekend there were just not enough hours in a day!

Magnolia-licious Challenge and RRR Challenge!

Happy August 1st! I cannot believe how fast this year is going by. My kids still have another 5 weeks of Summer vacation! everytime they start their arguing I ask them, "Is it September yet!" They look at me like I'm crazy.. I dont think they fully understand what I mean lol!

Since it's the first of the month you all know what that means! Time for another Magnolia-licious Monthly Challenge, over at the Magnolia-licious Highlights blog! It's my turn to host the challenge and I chose to make a T-Slider Card. There's a T-Slider Card Tutorial over at SCS. It's a little intimadting to try, but I had fun to make and it's fun to challenge yourself sometimes. I think the Longing Tilda goes perfect in the center of my card. I used my stampin' up inks and distress inks to watercolor. I hope you can join the T-slider card challenge! I cannot wait to see the entries!

The first of the month also means a challenge over at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog! The challenge until August 15th is Black and White. It's a record for me in the last month, I don't think I've ever used so much black! I'm loving the cards though! So I hope you can join us over at RRR too! You can win a $10 gift certificate! There's such a great selection at the RRR Store too!

Hello! Hope you all had a great week! I have a card for the Just Magnolia Challenge and for Fussy and Fancy. Over at Just Magnolia there's a fabulos sketch by Bev. At Fussy and Fancy our challenge is Pink and Black! I love the way this card came out. I used my Copics this time. I have been watercoloring so much, I need to alternate so I dont forget how to use my markers! I stamped off the cardstock using the little Emblem from the Wedding Collection. I love the way it looks, sometimes you need a little something else rather than just patterned paper.

Happy Tuesday stamping buddies! I made this card for my Really Reasonable Ribbon Posting. I really love this card. I wanted to do something different with my ribbon so I decided to put actual ribbon on the stamped image. I think it turned out really cute and makes the cupcake pop!

My friend Sherri came over the other day and I was showing her all my new cards I've made. She mentioned how she needed to get a card for her mother in law, I was like HELLO..... pick one! Then decided to make her a new one. I really love the way it turned out, I hope her mother in law loves it too!

Just Magnolia goes Vintage and WOC Tutorial!

Hello Ladies, Happy Friday! Here’s my Just Magnolia Card. This weeks theme is Vintage. I hope my card can pass for being Vintage, it looks old fashion .. to me lol.

I also have a Wild Orchid Crafts tutorial for you, I wanted to show you all how I make my flower clusters. Sometimes it’s a little easier to do the cluster this way, that way individual flowers cannot fall off your card and get lost. I’ve had that happen many, many times! lol!!

I also want to share that I have been invited to join the Magnolia Sweden Design Team! I'm really excited. I cannot wait to see my creations in the Magnolia Ink Magazine! I would love it if you would check out My Magnolia Blog, and become a follower!

I hope you find my tutorial helpful. Have a lovely day!

Gather your Wild Orchid Craft Flowers and lay them in the places you want them to be, with all of the stems going the same way.

Twist them all together, one at a time. Here I added another flower, you cant have enough of them!

Here’s the back.

Here’s a smaller cluster I made for the same card.

I tucked the stems behind the image and taped them down.

Here’s the back.

Here’s the card. You may have to add a little piece of double sided tape to the large flowers just to keep it a little sturdier.

Here’s some more photos..
