Hello everyone, today I have a card to share the features Tilda Blowing Hearts from the Magnolia With Love Collection 2013.

For the inside I created a border using a Noor Design die......It turned out rather larger than expected when I put it all together!!

Cupcake Toppers

Hello everyone, today I have some cupcake toppers to show you.

My sister is hosting a baby shower for her friend and she asked my to make some toppers for her. It isn't known if the baby is a girl or a boy so I went with a blue/pink colour combo but stuck with generic wording which I created on my computer. I cut out each sentiment with a circle nestie, stamped in blue or pink the old valentine letter background from the Magnolia Valentine Collection 2009 and then distressed each one with antique linen and vintage photo distress ink. I then layered this onto a scalloped circle that had also been distressed. For the back I used up some scraps of DP and gave each one the distress treatment too!

I cut down some skewers to the appropriate length and attached my circles with foam pads. Finally I finished off by adding some ribbon to each one.

Sorry about the awful photos, the sun was just too bright to get a decent shot.

Supplies
Card/Paper: White card, various scraps of DP
Stamps: Magnolia - Old Valentine Letter - Valentine Collection 2009
Embellishments: Ribbon
Tools: Trouvaille, nesties

Angel Tilda

Hello everyone, today I have a Magnolia DT card to share with you. I have used Angel Tilda with Glory from the Magnolia Nativity Collection 2012.

For my card I coloured Tilda with copics, cut her out with a circle nestie and inked the edges with weathered wood distress ink before I removed it from the die. I then layered this onto a die cut that I created using a Joy Crafts die designed by Noor Design, again I sponged this before I removed it from the die. I used no DP for this card, instead I created my own by sponging some card with ink and stamping some Sweet Snowflakes from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011. I used the largest die from the spellbinders romantic rectangles set to create my card base.
