Holiday Cheer Gift Set

Happy Holidays everybody,
I hope everyone had a fabulous occasion
and made lots of great memories for their kids.
We had a good time over here,
although it is a little heartwrenching being
1500 miles away from home...
Anyhooooo, to fight off the Holiday Blues,
I put together this gift set for a friend of mine
who has been very supportive and even a bit of an enabler
since I hopped on board the Blogger Train this past March.
She's received her parcel, so now I can blog it.
Very fittingly so, I made a Tilda set.


Here is the card that I made with
Christmas Eve Tilda,
you can catch all the details here,
as I already blogged the card,
what can I say, I am an Internet junkie
and couldn't resist blogging something!!


Now here we have a "refurbished" jar
that I've stripped of its original label and turned it
into a lovely decorative jar complete with choccies inside.
Tilda is joined with Basic Grey papers
and that beloved Martha Stewart punch, and a doily
to adorn this jar, as well as sprigs and berries
that I Stickled and hot glued onto the lid of the jar
to create a festive topiary.


Next is the Tilda gift bag,
which started out as an ordinary lunch bag,
$1.50 for a pack of 40,
and I went to town revamping the basic shape of it.
I cut out a window, bordered it with papers
that were cut with scallop Fiskars shears,
then added shrinkwrap to the interior to make the window,
I don't have vellum or acetate,
so improvising, as always, was done.


Here's a nice example of the colour variance of papers,
this Tilda was stamped onto GinaK cardstock
while the other 2 were stamped on watercolour paper,
all were painted with distress inks together
in the same paint-fest and look at the difference.
The post stamp is also Magnolia,
the lace is from Hancock Fabrics, love it!!
Those gorgeous gardenias were sent to me from
my lovely bloggy buddy and fellow teamie Tracey,
I love them, love love love them, this colour especially,
I think I will pluck the rest of them out of the
bushell of flowers and make something decorative
for myself with them so I can
have them around me ALWAYS, lol,
the leafy punches are by Martha Stewart,
the beads are from the bridal department at Michaels.
For closure, I simply punched 2 holes in the top
of the bag and ran this gorgeous organza through it.


Well, that is about it.
In the photo you can see a lace satchel,
I just prettied up a store-bought bag
with some beads and a little extra organza,
there are some fun craft goodies stuffed inside.

There are some challenges about
that I will be entering my project into:
Creative Inspirations has set Christmas Gift challenge
Double Dutch It's all about the wrapping indeed!!
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge
has set a last minute gift challenge,
Stamp Something has set a
Holiday Somethings Challenge,
and I used the sketch from Just Magnolia,
but I blogged that already!!

A lot of the challenges have extended deadlines,
which is great for me,
that means I will actually get in on time,
hahahahaha!!!
I hope you and your family
had a wonderful holiday and will have a
safe and happy new year!!

Take Care,
Stephanne

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #29

Hello gorgeous gals,
I Want to share with you the latest
Magnolia Down Under Challenge
and scrummynummy prizes for this
double-fortnights happenings.
Yes, double fortnight, lol.
Our challenge this time around is to unlock
the hidden potential in a collection image,
in other words, we want to see you take a stamp
that seems event-specific and use it another way.
Here are some examples,
although neither of these is my DT card,
they are older cards, just examples.
But first, the prize!!!


Now the old examples made by yours truly:


There will be runner-up prizes too,
you need to scoot on over to
Magnolia Down Under,
take a gander
and see what the amazing Design Team
has come up with to inspire you.
There will be a creation by me soon,
I do have something to blog but I am having trouble
getting on my computer lately,
due to time constraints and a back ache.
I need a backiotomy, hahaha.
I hope everyone is well and getting a sliver
of crafty time in at this hectic time of year.
I have a BIG project going on,
I can't wait to share it with you all :)

Seasons Greetings, Blogger Buddies,
Stephanne

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi folks,
I have a card to share with you.
I tried to step away from the Magnolias,
but I am not so sure that was a good idea!!
My husband just kept saying,
"The mouses don't make any sense."


I am late on many of the challenges I made this for,
except for Stampin' For The Weekend
whose challenge is to use blue and brown,
and House Mouse Monday Challenge
whose challenge is nontraditional Christmas and
Stamp Something is having a
Winter Wonderland Challenge.
The sketch is from the previous fortnights
Creative Inspirations challenge.
Only 5 days late, that's not so bad...


The image is called CloseKnit Friendship by House Mouse,
coloured in distress inks and popped up
on foam dots for dimension.
The dotted paper is K&Co. and the flakes are MME.
The snowflake punch is MS,
coated in MS glitter and waterfall Stickles,
pins, lace and gems, the pretty goodies are from my stash
and the doiley, hahaha, it is by Wiltons....

I hope everyone out there is
doing okay with their Christmas agendas!!
I spent an hour in the post office today
and just have a few more things to make
before I can say I am done.
Would anyone like to make some fudge for me
and ship it out ASAP??
Any takers??? No!??? Nuts!!!
Take Care,
Stephanne

Tilda's dreaming of a White Christmas

Hello blogger buddies,
I hope you are all well!!
I came across this sketch over at
Stamp with Fun
and knew I wanted to have a dance with it.
Thought I would try something light and non-traditional
just to break things up a bit.
I've seen colour combos similar to these lately,
namely, last weeks Just Magnolia DT line-up
and I thought I would give it a whirl.
I'm glad I did because I love it!!


Tilda, kindly stamped for me by Sue, thanks Sue!!
is coloured in distress inks,
yes, I love them, lol,
the coat and cap are coloured in a medley of tones:
peeled paint, tea dye and pine needles,
and the wings and "leggielegs" are done in faded jeans.
I get a lot of inquiries about how I do my whites,
so here is the trick: Old Paper Distress Ink.
Check out that stickles on her coat, Frosted Lace!!
I've used Websters Pages (text) and Magnolia (music) papers,
scalloped papers covered in organza and lace,
lovey roses sprayed in glimmer mist,
I love them, can't live without them!!!
Some cut up pearl strings and
leaves punched with a MS oak leaf punch.
I will be popping this in at a few places:
Just Magnolia set a Christmas challenge,
Cupcake Craft Challenges is hosting a
Christmas Carol Challenge,
I couldn't pick a favourite song,
but Tilda likes White Christmas!!

Thanks for looking,
have a wonderful weekend,
Stephanne

MDU Challenge--The Party of the Century!!

Hi everyone!!
I hope you are warmer than I am today,
at a bonechilling 16 degrees farenheit,
I will be hard pressed to slither
my way out of the cave today!!

We ladies at Magnolia Down Under
were set a challenge by the amazingly talented

Jodie

to make a party invitation
with our wonderful Christmas kits that
The Waffling Boss Lady Kellie sent us.
So after much anticipation,
my stamps arrived and I got straight to work!!


Firstly I must apologize for the photos,
there is no natural light out here lately,
so I had to make do with what I had and well,
I guess that is meant as an apology to myself,
since I am the one who notices it the most, eh?
I was lucky enough to be assigned
Tilda with Crackers
as my design team stamp.
The moment I saw this, I "NEEDED" it,
I just see that ornament, fixated on it really,
it could pop right off the page if one felt so inclined...
So then, my mission was clear, lol.


She is adorable!!
I love her hair in this stamp!!
I've coloured in distress inks,
the ball is done up in Gold Lame Smooch
and then coated in Crystal Lacquer and
popped up on foam mounts.
She's bordered in Gold Stickles.
I wish I could say FIND HER HERE,
but she is sold out at MDU!!
You can, however, head over to find
this lace, the wire star, and the papers!!
There are still a selection of new stamps,
check them out HERE.
I've created this with a few challenges in mind:
Stampin' For the Weekend
wants to see traditional colours of red, green and gold
and Sketch Saturday
provided me with the layout,
though my interpretation is rather loose.
Everybody Art Challenge is hosting a
red and green colour combo challenge,
Pile It On is hosting a
Tinsel Town challenge, use your glittery blingy stuff!!
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential
are hosting a Christmas Flowers challenge.


Well, I hope Jodie approves of my creation
and she can make it to my party this Christmas...
I will be back tomorrow!!
Take Care,
Stephanne

I'll bet you've looked everywhere for these!!!

Hello my lovely chickadee's,
I just had to come and share this with you!!
I have no idea where she found them,
but Kellie at Magnolia Down Under
has just added personalized stamps to the shop.
These gems will be personalized to your liking;
name, even texts and prints are negotiable.
Here's a sample for you,
but if you've been hunting around for something like this,
you'll want to drop in MDU and
check out the variety of stamps that can be made

just for you!!


Have a wonderful day,
I hope it is warm and cozy where you are at!!
Take Care,
Stephanne

DT-MDUC is getting Bedazzling!!

Hi there dear blogging pals,
I hope you are all well today,
I hope you are getting some rest
from the Christmas shopping mayhem
that is taking place, no doubt!!
It's time for a new challenge over at
Magnolia Down Under Challenges
and it is
Bedazzled
so get out your Maggies, gems, Stickles, glimmer mist,
rhinestones, glamour dust, Smooch, perfect pearls,
oh, you get the idea!!!
We can't wait to see what you come up with,
and with Christmas right around the corner,
this challenge goes hand in hand with the season!!
You're going to want to get in on this one,
Kellie is sponsoring this challenge with the
overtly-precious Christmas Eve Tilda as the prize!!
She is definitely on the "NEED" list and would be
the perfect little Christmas gift for YOU!!!!
So go check it out!!


And without further ado, here's Snowie!!!


And to think I was having a hard time with this challenge...
The wonderful Sue stamped me this cutie snowman
and I am so glad she did because it is precious
and loads of fun to bring to life!!
I've coloured in distress inks and gone around
in Diamond Stickles to make Snowie sparkle!!
The papers are from the new Magnolia collection,
you can find yours at Magnolia Down Under here,
the punches are Martha Stewart,
the snowflakes were glimmer misted and then
Stickled in Waterfall with a
Jolee's Swarvoski crystal placed in the center,
the charm, lace and hemp are from my stash.


A slight side angle to show you my stamped snowflakes.
It's nice, you can see them when they catch light,
I stamped snowflakes onto the Magnolia paper
with Brilliance Moonlight White ink and then
heat embossed with Crystal powder,
which is quite nice to have executed,
usually I scorch the paper when I try to heat emboss.
This paper is magical I tell you!!


In true Challenge Hog fashion,
I've got some places I'll be popping this in at:
Layout courtesy of PaperTake Weekly,
Stamp Something is hosting a Glitzy Somethings challenge,
and Simon Says use charms!!!
Have you seen SS Stores' charms?? Totally gorgeous!!!


I guess I'd better wrap this up before I
am accused of Wafflery!!
Make sure to pop your project in at our
Magnolia Down Under Bedazzled Challenge,
we can't wait to see what you're all creating!!
Take Care,
Stephanne

A very merry Magnolia Christmas

Hi everyone, I hope all is good with you.
I've got another card to toss in the pile,
how is everyone else doing with that?
Caught up, barely starting, DONE??
I think I am about 40% above sinking.


This is something I've cooked up with some
of my superyummy supplies the gorgeous Kellie sent.
I am glad I went ahead and placed the bulk of my
Christmas Magnolia order with
Magnolia Down Under
because if I hadn't, I'd still be waiting for them!!!
You can find the lace, papers, and the
adorable Christmas Eve Tilda here.
That lace is super yummy, a very tightly stitched
and detailed variety, I am hooked!!
Some laces are rather flimsy and lack fine detail,
not so with this fabby stuff!!
Okay, enough about lace, onto the card!!


Beyond Magnolia products,
I've used Martha Stewart punches,
Bazzill cardstock, tea roses "Stickled" in gold
and I've coloured in distress inks.
I love the saturation of colour I get with them and
the availability to layer on tones is nice.
I resisted the urge to glitter and shadow her
thinking that it let her look more rustic??? Maybe???

I've gone along with the challenge SPLURGE and will
be popping this in over at:
Colour Create whose colours are green, red and white,
with the optional extra, naturally being Christmas!!
Cupcake Crafts who are hosting a colour challenge
of green and red,
Just Magnolia provided the wonderful sketch,
I loved this, I think I will use it in excess!!
The Pink Elephant set a challenge of colouring in our favourite medium, and when I've got the patience to experiment with it, distress inks are DEFINITELY my favorite!!
Crafty Creations is hosting a challenge that is right up my alley, Lace and Distressing, so I'm going to join in there for the first time, and
Stamp With Fun is hosting a Christmas Challenge, and I want to pledge allegiance to The Waffler Kellie, so I will play over there for the first time as well.

I hope whatever you are doing today,
that you are enjoying yourselves.
I give you permission to take some time out
of this crazy seasons happenings to take a hot bath
or eat half a pound of chocolate alone in your craft room.
Just tell your family, "It's okay, Dr. Stephanne said!!"
Happy Wednesday!!
Stephanne

Magnolia mini gift set

Hello happy blogger buddies,
I hope everyone's weekends were terrific.
Any Black Friday shoppers have a tail to tell?
Not me, I like to sleep in!!
And when I wake up at 12 noon (haha, I wish!!),
I like to craft!!


I was lucky enough to get a couple of fun packs
in the mail this Wednesday,
my dear blogger buddy Sue sent me a pile of
Magnolia Christmas images to play with,
as I am still anxiously awaiting mine
and Kellie sent the Magnolia Down Under gang
a lovely assortment of treasures to tinker with,
and I couldn't resist putting something together.


I sure do enjoy all of the foilage involved!!
I now own enough punches to place these roses just so...


I've made a card and coordinating gift box.
The box is a container to something or other
that I refurbished into a winter container of sorts.


More bloom action for ya...


And the other side of the box.
Such a fun and efficient use of material,
I'll stuff it with treats when it is time to ship it.


I've used a Magnolia stamped image from Sue called
Tilda as Christmas Angel,
the DP is Magnolia So Jolly papers,
find them in Kellie's shop here.
I've coloured in distress ink and there is a lot
of Stickles and highlighter pen used.
The punches are Martha Stewart,
I've distressed items in Weather Wood,
the charm is by Jolees and that gorgeous ribbon
is from Kellies shop, you can find it here.

I'm going to pop this in a few challenges:
PaperTake Weekly has a Christmas challenge happening,
Everybody Art has a Christmas theme and
Charisma Cardz has a Christmas theme also.

Thanks for stopping by and spending time with me today.
Have a wonderful week!!
Stephanne

Happy Autumn

Happy Thanksgiving my American peeps.
I hope you are able to spend the day with loved ones
doing something you truly enjoy: FEASTING!!!!
I love pumpkin pie, I think I will buy one and
eat it all myself in one sitting!!
My great aunt Jamie would always host Thanksgiving.
The fudge, all the home-made pies,
turkey, 'taters, eggnog, football, family...
Such wonderful memories that I am fortunate to have.
I won't talk politics, but I don't really celebrate
this day, although I relish the excuse to hang out
with family and friends and eat some of our
seasons delectable bounty.
Not like that happens for me out here in Kansas,
but that is beside the point!!


This is a seasonal card I made,
I HOPE the sentiment says Happy Autumn,
I've used MME Out and About and Bloom & Grow papers
because I know we are all getting a little sick
of the fall and Christmas papers, a nice change
but it still works I think.
Tilda is coloured with a layer of watercolour
and then I've enhanced the colours with distress inks.


Here is a look at the inside,
there is a pocket added for storage of this little bag
which is just a paper bag with a hole punched in it
and a gingham ribbon strung through it.


A side view of the layering and blooms for ya.
You can see the pewter applique and glitter this way.


I've used the sketch over at
Magnolia-licious Highlites,
and over at Creative Inspirations
the challenge is to create a pocket on our projects.

Welp, I hope everyone has a wonderful day
and thanks for stopping by!!
Stephanne

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Hello all!!
I am pretty sure something/someone is toying with me!!
Have you ever had a peice of cardstock DISAPPEAR!!??!
And just as soon as you give up looking and settle
on a different peice of paper, put the finishing touches
on the project and the missing paper reappears!!?!?!
I had the rest of this slice of BG paper
fall from the sky tonight.
I searched and searched for it,
it had the hAnglar image stamped on it and I wanted to
mirror the little treat box I made a little while back
and the cardstock had, for all intensive purposes
VANISHED!!!


I guess I shall move on with this project,
enough "waffle" for tonight.
I settled on an alternate BG paper, which I rather like,
it looks good with her BG dress,
which I had to restamp on this itty bitty sliver
of leftover DP in the meantime..... stupid paper...


They are coloured with distress inks and trimmed in glitter.
They are surrounded with organza ribbon and poinsettias,
the poinsettias have been distressed, glimmer misted,
then edged with stickles and I've knotted a little charm on.
I've used last weeks
Midnight Madness Sketch
and I am late to join in, but I think I will
still tack it onto Mr. Linky over there.

Thanks for looking and have a great week!!
I hope you are getting some Christmas crafting time!!
Stephanne

An award and a Top badge, yahoo!! And a little extra something!!

I've turned a new leaf and will, yes I WILL!!!
start passing on awards and sharing my good news,
so with that said, the super-talented Ila
has sent me this award, thank you!!
I am admittedly flattered she thought of me :)


The requirements are that I tell you
5 interesting things about myself and then
pass the award along to 5 other peeps, so

1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE paper!!! You can fold it, cut it, wrinkle it, tear it, colour on it, paint on it, decorate it, make decorations with it, oohhhh pretty papers...

2. I found out that my brother would go in my room as a kid and move things around just for the amusement of knowing that I would move the stuff right back into place?? That's not funny!! OCD-ish personality here.

3. I am the quintessential "weirdo", there's no sense in fighting what comes naturally, so weirdo it is. "She's different."

4. I have a cosmetology license but here's my dilemma: I can't turn you into Jessica Simpson, and to let you down lets me down, so I crapped out on that. I still LOVE to do hair and make-up, but only for "my peeps."

5. I am a Hallowe'en enthusiast. Maybe even more of a fanatic!!


Okay, so I'm passing this pup on to:

1. Fran, fellow paper addict and amazing artist,
2. Tracey, whose stunningly sophisticated cards stop me in my tracks,
3. Kellie, Boss Lady and Waffler Extraordinaire, enabler and friend,
4. Yorkie Lovin' June, The Digi Goddess and sweetest blogger around &
5. Sue, you can't escape these awards!! Sue's works are fantastic and fun, stop by for a rubber stamping adventure, even a little digi stampin' adventure, she's becoming a convert!!

Phew!!!

And and and, I am super excited to share with you my new badge:


Ain't that the bee's knees??
Here I am thinking I am digitally-impaired...
That is one delightful thumbs up, thank you ladies!!

Happy Birthday Ellias!!!
My little turkey is 3 years old today,
my little Thanksgiving baby!!
That's why he loves pumpkin pie so much I think...


Here's my little artist at work,
all in a days work ;)

Alright, signing off for now,
got a stack of chores as long as Santa's list!!
Have a great week,
Stephanne

MDUC's Christmas Challenge amoungst other good'uns

Hello ladies and gents,
there's one or two gents out there, I've spotted them!!
Tonight I will share with you my
Magnolia Down Under Challenge project
that I've been putting off doing because, well,
I want to use some of the new images, d*@$it!!
So I thought, I will wait it out and hope
I can get my grubby mitts on them before
this project needs to be turned in.
Nope, that did not happen,
so a series of failed plastic attempts took place
before going back to my one true love: PAPER
with a stamped image that my dear blogging buddy
and fellow MDUC teamie Sue sent me,
thanks for saving the day Sue!!
And Kellie, thanks for letting me be a slack,
I am sorry it has taken so long to turn in my project,
your leniancy has allowed my project to flourish though ;)



So this is my decorative ornament card.
It could be a wall hanging or an ornament,
or just a card, it's up to the recipient.
And here is the inside of the project,
this lovely scene with Tilda and Edwin.
Look at that crumply bow,
I am having to fight back
the urge to retake the picture!!!



I've done a lot with this, so I want to just
hit the main points so as not to be taunted for waffling, lol.
The paper is Websters Pages, so so gorgeous,
it pains me to cut into them,
coloured in distress inks with lots of Stickles
and glimmer mist on Tilda's coat,
lots of assistance from the white Sakura gel pen.
Some "ghost" snowflakes are stamped on here with
StazOn opaque, stamps are Stampabilities,
and I doused them with some MS glitter,
which is rubbing off the flakes with every second.
The charm is by Jolees and that hook is beading wire
with a few beads for good measure.



Tea roses and mini rose buds are clustered on top of
several different MS punches, fern, oak leaf and branch,
with several different treatments on them,
distressing, stickles, glimmer mist, etc....



And here is the inside which will contain the sentiment,
and is still under works, nothing's been patched up or
smoothed down on it yet, I need a break, lol.
And yes, that is the backside of the DP,
just as gorgeous as the face.

Now let's talk challenges.
I have used the sketch from The Pink Elephant
Roses On Paper would like us to create
a romantic card in respects to the flick Sweet November.
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential
has asked to see ornaments, so I get to play over there.
Aww, the benefits of being late, haha.

Now hop your buns over to
Magnolia Down Under Challenges
to see all of the wonderful projects
and fix your peepers on our delicious prize!!
Or maybe I will just show you!!


Kellie is sponsering the challenge with this
adorable Christmas Tilda stamp (wish I could win it!!)
and if you've got a chance, hop by her shop
Magnolia Down Under
and look at all of the new items
she's added for your crafting pleasure.
To name a few; Ranger inks, acrylic blocks,
gorgeous lace and some neat wire embellies.
AND AND AND!!!! This one time at band camp..... ha!!
Kellie has a sale going on from now until November 25th,
20% off select So Jolly and Under The Mistletoe stamps
Proof that the early bird doesn't always get the worm...
So get 'em while they're at this red-hot price ladies,
Kellie's stock will be in this coming week,
I don't know about you, but I can't wait!!
Have a great weekend, what's left of it anyway!!
Stephanne

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hello Blogger Buddies,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
*insert rant about Christmas shopping here* haha.
I will spare you the rant and get straight to the card.



This is Ruby from Sandra Dry's Digital Designs.
In the midst of a lucky streak,
I was the recipient of 6 digi images
from Sandra Dry's Digital Designs,
and although, due to my inability to comprehend digi,
I let 4 out of the 6 files expire in my inbox???
I guess I learned the hard way that you have to
crack those files open straight away,
I have 2 of her cutie patootie images,
Ruby and Hazel waiting to be brought to life.
I borrowed Hazels witch hat
and stuck it on Ruby to coordinate with my theme.



The paper is My Mind's Eye,
Ruby is coloured in Prisma Colors and the
brim of the hat has a dose of flowersoft on it,
the ball was made from a pearl smothered in glue
and then covered in flowersoft.
The white stripes were coloured and then coated with Smooch.
She is standing in a shadow of glitter,
her feet are covered in it!!
The lace, pins, beads and hemp are stash items,
the charm is by Jolee's, the punch is EK Success,
one of those gorgeous Mina roses,
and I've distressed in old paper and what was left
on my craft board of brushed corduroy and glimmer mist,
it looks really neat, a happy accident I believe!!



Here's where Ruby will be going to play with:
Cupcake Craft Challenge Digital Images
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge
Charisma Cardz Merry and Bright
Creative InspirationsNew or Neglected stash:
This lovely image has never been used til now, yes I WILL digi!!!
Forgotten lace, pins and beads, flower soft and Prisma Colors,
all sadly neglected, but connected.
The rediscovery of prisma colors has led me to using digi.
Everybody-Art ChallengeDistressing!!

Have a wonderful Monday, stay warm!!
