Another birtdaycard in blue...

I have had a little craftingbreak here for some time
now but I hope I soon will be back on track again.
Today I show you another birtdaycard that comes
in blue colours. Tilda is just adorable and she suits
for many ocations. I borrowed the text from a friend,
can´t remember where it comes from...

I´ve cutted Tilds wings and pushed them up a bit
so there is a nice 3d-effect.





And so the whole card. I have painted with
distress ink refills on aquarellpaper as always...





By the way, have you heard that Tim Holtz is
releasing new distress colours at CHA 2010???
I am really looking forward to try them out!

A blue birtdaycard...

I have made decoations out of
paperclay from a tip here.

I have used Magnoliastamps and pressed
them into the clay. It´s so simple and
makes so nice decorations that is light enough
to put on cards!

On this card I have used Silent Night Tilda.

Here you can see the decoration.

When the clay have dried I used distress ink,

ordinary watercolours, stickles and dabbers on.

Thanks for popping by!

Lovely sunday...

Oh, this have been such a lovely sunday!
I have been to my regular craftingdate
with my craftmates. It gives me such
pleasure and joy, it´s hard to describe...
We´re laughing, eating and crafting together.
But everyone who have the happiness to
be a part in such friendly crafting team
knows what I am talking about! And my
friends in this crafting group is extraordinary...
...so kind and funny and caring...Ingela gave us
christmasgifts that she have been knitting in extra
fast superspeed.... Gloves to every one of us....
Thanks my dear dear friend.....:o)

Today I made this bottledecorations to hang at a
bottle of "glögg"/hot wine/Gluewine" to give away
this evening. All stamps comes from Magnolia
and so does the paper. The roses comes from
Wild orchid crafts and the leaves are a punch from
Mc Gill that I borrowed from Marie-Louise today.
I just love that one...Yes, Santa- I have been veeerry
nice this year...;o)
The snowflakes comes from my new Marta Steward
punch, that I´ve bougt in Magnolias shop in Borås.

About reciepes....

I got a question from my Dt-partner Camilla
about what glimmermist I uses. Camilla have
seen my cards in Magnolias shop where they
are shimmering like stardust ...I really love to
add some mist on my cards, it brings that little
extra into a homemade card. Well I have
a reciepe on homemade glimmermist to share
with you today. When I found this I realized I will
never ever by any expensive glimermist again!

My homemade glimmermist
You need:
*I bottle of Opalite
*Water
*Minimister (it´s really great to use this beacuse
it brings perfect small drops of mist but any spray-
bottle will do)

Opalite is a "reflectice interference ink"
The colour is golden mist.
Here is a picture:



Fill the minimister with water, amost full. Add some
drops of Opalite and shake well. Try it on a piece of
paper, if you want more glimmer just add a few drops
opalite and try again. You can also add som drops of
distress ink refill if you want a certian colour on your
mist. I usually uses just oplaite and water myself.

TIP: I alway spray up in the air and then put the card
under the falling drops, I NEVER spray direct onto the
card. (I stand in my garage doing this...) I keep doing
this until I am satisfied with the result.

Good luck with your glimmermist!


This sundaymorning I also want to show you two
more pages in Tildas reciepebook. The cute stamps
comes from Magnolia and also the sweet paper.
it´s great to mix stamps from different collections
in a special project like this. I do love magnolias
textstamps a lot!





Thanks for looking, don´t forget to leave a note
before you go!

Hot chocolate...

Sorry I haven´t been able to show you next page
in Tildas receipebook as I promised...
Well, here it comes anyway! The papers are from
Magnolias own line and the stamps also.

The reciepe is for Hot chocolate, that is something
real nice and cosy these cold days up in north!
With cream and marsmallows it gets real yummie.

Thanks for looking!

A bagcard...

...for Magnolia that didn´t make it into
the magazine. You can see it for real if
you visit Magnolias shop in Borås in Sweden.
The patterned paper is also from Magnolia.

I have sprayed homemaid glimmermist on
the flowers so they have a nice golden shimmer.

Here is a closeup at Tilda, isn´t this stamp just
lovely?

Thanks for looking!

Winter vintage...

This wintercard I made for Magnolia Ink
magazine No 1, but it didn´t make it into the
magazine- so I belive it´s now ok to show it
to you. I have used a backgroundstamp that
was released last year and this little Tilda
that is a new stamp that will be released soon!

I have made the patterned paper myself out
of a snowflakestamp from last year, white
embossingpowder and distress ink vintage
photo.

I have used stickles star dust and gold to get
that crispy winter and elegant touch.

Tomorrow I will show next project that didn´t
make it into the magazine.

Thanks for looking!//Lillemor

StampArtic is having a Halloween-challenge!

Todays card is made for StampARTics teme-challenge
in October. You are supposed to make a card for
Halloween. How nice isn´t that challenge?
I have used this new Tilda from Magnolias
"So spooky" and papers from their own line.
The backgroundstamp and the lovely textstamp
comes also from the same collection.
I have made black flowers out of ordinary
white paperflowers. I mixed distress ink refill
black sooth whit opalite in my mini mister.
It works perfect and I really like black flowers
on Halloweencards, it looks elegant and spooky
at the same time!

I just love this beatiful text:

So spooky #3

As I told you before I do not usually make any
halloweencards, I didn´t even own any halloween-
stamps before...Now I am the lucky owner of
Magnolias "So spooky"-collection and I have to

in these colours and with these lovely papers!
The papers comes from Magnolias own line and
they are called "so spooky" of course! Aren´t
they just lovely? I can assure you that the
quality of these papers are just great to!

The whole card:

The text is embossed on black cardstock.




Sweet Tilda:
