Sweet Tilda

I am such a huge fan of shaped cards! I also love my Magnolia stamps and this little Tilda spoke to me the first time I saw her. That lollipop reminded me of those huge swirly lollipops we used to see at the fair or at the amusement park.....the ones my parents would never buy me. Of course, now I understand why. One bite and they fall completely apart, or one lick and your hair is stuck to it forever! I couldn't resist, I had to go all out on the glitter while I was at it so the pink background, the blue and yellow papers used for the letters, and the polka dot paper are all glittery. This card really, really sparkles in person. Too bad I had to photograph it after dark and indoors....I hate the lighting on this picture.

I used my cricut and SCAL to cut the letters out of blue and yellow glitter paper, then layered them to give more of a shadow effect.

Hope you all have a great weekend and a very sweet and spooky Halloween!

Clean and Simple Tilda

I made this card Monday after finding a new embossing folder and sanding block at my local scrapbooking store. I just love the shabby-chic look of the sanded paper (coredinations). This stamp was my very first Tilda stamp. It was the beginning of a new addiction! Anyway, after I made it I realized it would be perfect for the Clean and Simple challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

Magnolia-licious Highlites Easel Card Challange

I loved making this card for the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge! I didn't have much time to play but this whipped together pretty quickly, and I love the red/black/white with the cooking theme. Of course, Tilda is just so darn cute, no matter what color you dress her in! I may have to go back and add a sentiment in the bottom right corner though....seems like it could use a little somethin'. I just always like to wait to add the sentiment until I know who I am sending the card to and for what.


I have to apologize for the lighting and background on this photo. I'm getting ready to go on a trip so I had to take photos after dark. The lack of natural light and no time to set up the photo tent really doesn't do anything for the colors of the card!. =(
