[KittyF]

Thought it might be nice to showcase all the cards everyone has made with the lovely Magnolia Stamps so we can get all ideas, thoughts & share inspiration!!

So if you have made any cards featuring the Magnolia stamps, put them on here for everyone to see!! :)

[KittyF]

Here is my first creation i made...

Caz I use the pics from my blog by right clicking the photo from the blog, clicking "properties" then copy the URL, then when you're replying here you just paste the URL into the IMG box IYSWIM :)

[Bird]

Oh I want my tildas sooooo bad now

[valeriej]

Wow what gorgeous cards, can't wait to receive my two and play.

[greyparrot]

scanner has done a shocking job- too late to photograph now, here is one of my creations, the watercolouring is far smoother and blended in real life- the light in the scanner has been most unkind! Oh and it is straight irl too!

[naomi'smum]

My first Christmas card this year.....

[HOPEJACK]

All gorgeous cards - I got some of mine yesterday morning (eventually - long story!) but haven't had any time to play as I'm away at my parents - I might try tonight though :)

Shary - I love your door hanger but you can't get a bigger image? Would love to see it bigger :)

[thepinkprincess]

Ohhhh they're all great. I'm going to upload my photos that I took earlier of my cards now!

[Mrs Mac]

Fantastic cards girls, where can I these lovely children:lol:

Shary, how was the stamp show?
Whats the buzz on Magnolia?

love the door hanger:wub:

[InspireSpirit]

Wow. Cards are great. Are we all still considering a stamp swap? for the ones we havent got to swap with the ones we have.

[Shary]

Karen, the show was manic. If you go to my blog i have put up pics on the Magnolia stand. It was a fight to get to the front believe me. I didn't know women could be so mean!!! But I got in there and managed to get 36 stamps, not all mine I hasten to add. lol.

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments about my hanger. You can see it bigger on my blog.

[Ali M]

Wow. Cards are great. Are we all still considering a stamp swap? for the ones we havent got to swap with the ones we have.


Will this be a stamped image swap???
DOH...course it would ..who would part with their Tildas??

I was only thinking of this yesterday whilst I was pegging out the washing..(???)...
Id like to take part...theres so many more I would have liked to buy but were out of stock!

[HOPEJACK]

I made one last night (bit limited in supplies as I'm at my Mums but I don't think Magnolias really need many extra 'bits' on them - they are gorgeous as they are).

[SusanJR]

I've started my Christmas cards. Such lovely stamps! Here are my first two cards.

[DawnS]

scanner has done a shocking job- too late to photograph now, here is one of my creations, the watercolouring is far smoother and blended in real life- the light in the scanner has been most unkind! Oh and it is straight irl too!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/greyparrot/magnolia1sm.jpg

Gorgeous Coreena, I love your shading, it makes all the difference than just a flat painting.

[DawnS]

Yours is beautiful too Patsy I wonder when the ones I ordered myself will arrive.
They don seem to respond to emails that well.

[Ali M]

Il ove that one Coreena...

i love them all!!

[EllePiggo]

Andrea is that Bockingford watercolour card you have used or white hammered from the Paper Mill? Thanks. Kim

[maggiemae]

Love all the inspiration on this thread so far

Gosh these stamps are addictive - I don't even do cardmaking :lol: :lol: and have made these three cards :)

[Anso]

Here are (http://glitteradventure.blogspot.com/2007/09/making-cards.html) my first two cards :)

[Kittypuss]

What card did you use to stamp on Anso?

[Anso]

What card did you use to stamp on Anso?

230g watercolour paper (card really!) I'm assuming you mean the card that the actual Magnolia images are stamped onto? Hope that helps :)

[Ali M]

wow...so many more wonderful creations...i havent been home much today so havent played..

[comfortablecat]

I have been really daft :blink:.....................I've ordered Tilda with flower garland from both stores so I now have two the same:blink:. If anyone would like it for the same price I paid £5.50 or to swap with another Tilda please let me know. I know I have blonde moments but I'm getting worse:wacko::lol: I've posted this on the Magnolia Stamp thread too:rolleyes:

[comfortablecat]

It's yours Karen, sorry ladies it's gone already. I thought it would fly out but not in 8 mins!!!:blink::lol:

[craftingkaren]

Thanks Jane :D

[HOPEJACK]

OOoh lovely cards again - really loving Tilda in wellies although I didn't buy that one!

Another posted on my blog here (http://patsy-j.blogspot.com/2007/09/christmas-tilda.html)- not sure it works as I've tried to do it as an Xmas card but I don't have any of the Xmas stamps. Also I'm away right now and don't have any bright Xmas pps - I think it would look better with bright ones :)

[Kittypuss]

Have you seen the new stamp Tingla? She is Tilda's baby - sooo cute!

[GeordieGirl]

Hello, your cards are all gorgeous :)

Answers to some of your questions:

I use Derwent water colour pencils to colour my images
Papermill white card - I look for the brightest white, be careful as sometimes you think it's white until you put it beside a true white.
To cut a long story short - I haven't had access to all my stash and my craft room since April so I discovered digital papers - means I can make cards in the middle of the night when everyone - including the lodger - are fast asleep :)

[Kittypuss]

Is that a British Blue I spy as your Avatar Hopejack? I have 4 British Shorthairs and used to breed them. He is beautiful, I am presuming 'he' because of the magnificent face shape 'he' has? Forgive me if I am wrong

[KittyF]

Look, they now have there own home!!! This is my first ever altered tin, can't wait to make another one!

My lil girl (nearly 2) helped me with the ribbons on the handles! :lol:

[Dibby]

The tin looks fab, I can't wait til I have enough Tildas and Edwins to fill a tin, I only have three so they would rattle around a bit atm.

My stamps arrived this morning, and this (http://chatterboxchicks.blogspot.com/) is my first creation with them.

Is that bloke Mickey STILL in your room?:lol:

[Lindylou]

Can someone please explain to me how to upload my Magnolia card?
I have it in photobucket but a bit confused as to which link I copy.
Thanks
Linda

[maggiemae]

I love the Christmas colours Patsy - really effective.

And the tin to keep them in is fab.

Have made 2 more this evening that you can see here (http://thefineartoframblinon.blogspot.com/)

[removed user]

I just managed another one too :) See it here (http://stampingcaz.blogspot.com)

Loving all the creations

Caz

[HOPEJACK]

Thanks Margaret - just had a peek at your new ones - I love all your cards!

Linda hun - you need to copy the IMG link, then click on the image icon on your post and paste in there. One watch out is to remove the http:// that's already in the box when you click on it otherwise you'll end up with two (as the code has one too!). Hope that makes sense??

Kittypuss - yes he's a BB - he's 6 now! He's a v big boy (neutered). His Dad and his Grandad were Grandchamps so I guess he gets it from them! We've never shown him tho. The lady who runs the cattery we take him to used to be a breeder and she always fusses over him and says how fantastic he is and how we should have showed him - he has v orange eyes - there is a LO of him in my UKS gallery if you are interested - not such a good pic tho :) We nearly bought a Silver spotted too ages ago but it fell through - no more now though as we have a DD now.... Before that he was my baby! What colours are yours?

[Lindylou]

Here is my first Magnolia card. I think she is so sweet, she looks like she is going to a party.
Linda x

Forgot to say thanks Hopejack for your help

[EllePiggo]

Linda your card is gorgeous :D Love it.

Vanessa

[persephone]

Anyone got any in stock or when is the next pre-order due?

[Mrs Mac]

Linda and all the other girls......your cards are fantastic.
Maggie, is that you gone all magnolia too!

And Linda..only your 7th post and you can add pics.......more than I can do.

Did a bit of colouring in tonight but too many kids also wanting to join in. So I will wait untill they are at school and get some peace.

ETA yes Heather but I have no idea when they will ever arrive!

[maggiemae]

Maggie, is that you gone all magnolia too!


Yup! Know what you mean about the kids wanting to help. DD was all "awwwww that's so cute" over the sheep one - had to stamp one for her to colour as well :D

[Mrs Mac]

Aye but I bet your DS would not be seen colouring in!
I had to take the bellas off DS aged 8 as I did not think it was healthy him knowing all their names LOL

[Lindylou]

Thanks Mrs. Mac but I've been around since 2004, for some reason all my posts disappeared and went back to zero! and to be fair I did have help in posting it :lol:
Linda x

[Ali M]

Linda ...that is gorgeous..i love the way youve shaded around her...

[Biscuitlid]

All these creations are so yummy. Ikeep looking at my lovely stamps and thinking I'm going to have a marathon day stamping and colouring but I'm just too busy at the moment. Still it keeps me going seeing all the lovelyness you guys have made.

[Mrs Mac]

is that a new one Shary?
Their site is a nightmare, infact they whole set up is too, and I am sure I have missed some.

[Shary]

I'm not too sure Karen. The ones that were at the Mekka (that I got) I haven't seen them on the site yet so I'm assuming they are their new Autumn ones. But in saying that I have seen some of the stamps on the Swedish blogs. Confusing eh?

Shary

[Ali M]

That is gorgeous Shary..what a brilliant idea for a book mark..

Ive now started making a list of all the next ones i want to by...long list!!!

[Shary]

Lol Thanks Ali, I think we've all got a long list, you're not alone. :-)

[KittyF]

Shary

[valj]

I'm waiting, extremely impatiently for the new ones to be uploaded:rolleyes:

[Shary]

They've probably only just got back from the Mekka and I bet they have run low on them. Hoards of women were buying them!!

Shary

[Karon Stubbs]

I have a Tilda with daffodil still in the packet (got carried away ordering!) to swap for any of the following if anyone else over-ordered like me:

Tilda on jetty, Tilda with snowflake wand, Winter Tilda, Tilda with Dandelion or Tilda in Wellies.

Loving the designs ladies. Only wish I was half as good! lol

[persephone]

would you like to do a staight sell karon? Will pay what you paid plus postage

[valj]

i'm hoping my order from magnolia arrives this week:rolleyes: The payment went through on the 17th so, shouldn't be long now:)

[greyparrot]

I've popped another on my blog, it is unfinished, but I coloured it with inkpads rather than watercolours just to be different!

[valj]

And it is a beauty as usual Rena:)

[mum-on-the-run]

Loving all the gorgeous Tilda cards!!

I've used all three of my Tilda's now and all my cards are on my blog (http://www.mum-on-the-run.blogspot.com/) :)

I used Tilda in wellies, Tilda blowing kisses and Lounging Tilda :wub:

[persephone]

If anyone is interested I'm hosting a Magnolia stamp swap. There is another magnolia thread on the go- have started collecting names on there until Scrappybunny gives us an official thread

[Karon Stubbs]

What does this involve and how does it work?

[jennytrue]

Here is my 1st Tilda card! I used this week's sketch over on Splitcoaststampers. Have made another but it's too dark to photograph now! will post that tomorrow!!

[maggiemae]

That's gorgeous Jenny - I like the embossing on the paper as well as the colours on the stamp

[Samm]

Ohhh, realised I should have put this here, here's my latest Tilda Card, thanks Mrs Mac.

I have just made this. I'm not too sure what it will be used for yet but I'm not happy with it. I don't like the white areas. I'm loathe to colour it in as it took me a while to do it (lots of masking) and I don't want to spoil it. Has anybody got any tips or ideas please?

[Ali M]

Blown away..I am ..not Tilda..that is fantastic..you are very talented..!
As for filling some of the white space...Is there anyway you can put some of the flowers and a few tufts of grass dotted about..maybe shorter flowers??

[Ali M]

Jenny..just spotted your card..that is fab...love it!

[Shary]

Mmm thanks Ali I'll give it a go. :-)

[Ali M]

Shary..that is yet another fab card...
i really dread looking at your wonderful creations because i know that they will have been created using a stamp unavailable to me,YET...and my I must have ...list is growing by the minute!!!

[Kirsty262]

how do you colour them all so perfect, do you all use pencils?

[Shary]

Thanks Ali. If you are in the swap then maybe you'll get some as I am in it too.

I use prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits but some people us lots of other things, watercolours, markers , inks etc. I think it's just personal preference.

[Anso]

I use watercolour pencils (Caran D'Ache). :)

[naomi'smum]

Shary that card is soooo beautiful, did I spy a mermaid Tilda amongst your small:lol: stash of stamps?

[Silly Monkey]

Oooh we have the mermaid Tilda and Tilda and Tingla ordered - praying for a quicker delivery this time round!
Will have to bagsy some for myself this time too

[Mrs Mac]

... this month. I found that a very sweet gesture to make a stamp that was special for us (you know the Little Mermaid...).

I accidently :wub: bought it.

CharlieDK

[CharlieDK]

how do you colour them all so perfect, do you all use pencils?

Some use watercolour pencils and a brush with water.

Others paint with Distress Ink from the refill bottles - TONS of colour in one of these as you only use less that 1 drop and can mix all the shades you wish for depending on the amount of water.

[greyparrot]

Added another card to my blog- quite frankly I am being lazy and can't be bothered to upload it to photobucket to paste in here! sorry lol! http://thescrappyparrot.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-magnolia-creation.html

[Karon Stubbs]

Kirsty - I don't mind stamping some for you - I have a few stamps. If you PM me your address I can let you know which ones I have.

Shary - I have some prisma colour pencils on their way but was interested to read what you said about the mineral spirits. What are they for and how do you use them?

I'm in the swap. Can't wait to get those little babies!

[mum-on-the-run]

Mermaids? Now I HAVE to go and check out the Magnolia site....

Thank you, will have to get some pencils and try them out

Pm'd you, thank you :wub:

[Shary]

Karen, I use the prisma colours to outline the image in the black lines and then use blending stumps with the mineral spirit on it to blend in the colour. Here is a link on how to do it , it is a lady's blog and she has done some wonderful colouring on it.

It works and now I want her more:wub:
Thanks charlie for enticing me to part with more hard earned cash:lol:

[Dibby]

All these galleries and cards people are putting up are so inspiring, I really feel it has taken my card making to another level (hopefully a better one LOL). Here are two more I did this afternoon.

http://chatterboxchicks.blogspot.com/

[Edna]

I absolutely adore the cards you are all making with these stamps. They are incredible! Now my frustration is only increasing because I can't find whereabouts to order them on the Magnolia site. Please take pity on me someone and grant me the secret of Magnolia ordering. :lol:

[Mrs Mac]

Edna you can pre order on our site if you choose.here (http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=12_25)

[persephone]

There are 2 sponsors on UKS who sell these stamps. Both post on the magnolia stamps

[Isa-uk]

Shary - I have some prisma colour pencils on their way but was interested to read what you said about the mineral spirits. What are they for and how do you use them?


I got some Prisma and use the Sansodor spirit...
You use the spirit to mix the colours. So far...not really impressed...
must try again... I'm not the "giving up" type... especially on spending money on the Prisma...
Another DT member explained how she did it ....let me find the link....

I prefer using Distress inks... I just press my ink pads on my craft sheet and use that as a palette for watercolouring... works perfect...
All the coloring on my cards is done this way

the type of card you use will make a big difference too for the watercolouring...

HTH :-)

[Isa-uk]

Here's the link..... HOW TO USE PRISMA PENCILS (http://papercreative.blogspot.com/2007/06/kleuren-met-prismacolor-potloden.html)

it's in English at the bottom of the post.... :-)

It's not as easy as it looks though.... ;-)

[maggiemae]

Lindy - love your Christmas card. Gorgeous colours

[tilda fan]

Wow ladies you have all made some fabulous cards

Thanks charlie for enticing me to part with more hard earned cash:lol:

[Edna]

Thanks for the info. Have pre-ordered six of these beauties. Now I will have to content myself until they arrive. Woo hoo!!

[Kirsty262]

does anyone have any of them in stock now?

[Silly Monkey]

we have some left in stock from last order.
Any preorders are clearly marked in title and description so if they don't state pre-order they are ready and raring to go

[Mrs Mac]

Yes we have two I think, Edwin and cutsie left from the last deleivery and tonights pre orders have accounted for a third of our stock with some selling out already!

maybe Silly Monkeys have some.

[Kirsty262]

thanks ladies

[maggiemae]

[Isa-uk]

if you have an art shop locally, I'm sure you'll find them there. Otherwise there are some good deals online... that's where I bought mine...

have fun :)

[Gadget Monkey]

I've ordered loads from the sponsors.... now I have to do that "patience" type of thing that I am so bad at and wait for them....

[Carole C]

I have been lurking around reading this thread, and just adore these stamps. I am now the owner of three Tilda's with another 10 on pre-order! I am loving looking at everyones creations. They are all beautiful, everyone is so talented.

My first card using Tilda with Hat is in my Gallery or can be viewed on my blog.

(I havn't done enough posts to do any links sorry.):(

[valeriej]

:ph34r: ooops just ordered a few more - sharing them out between you lovely ladies Karen and Bryony. :lol:

I think I better go hide now for a while :ph34r: at least till pay day next week. :lol:

[yizzard]

You dont need spirits and blending stumps, you can get the same effect using just water and watercolour pencils. I use the aquakure paint bush, and ordinary papermil cardstock, run the clean paintbrush over the part of the image you are about to paint so that the paint 'runs' In watercolour terms this is wet on wet, then use your brush to pick up colour from the pencil, just rub the wet brush all over the nib of the pencil until you have enough colour on it. Then paint the colour on from the edges inwards. That way you get loats of colour on the edge and not so much in the middle. If there is too much colour anywhere just wipe your brush clean (I use a wetwipe but you could dip in clean water) and use the clean wet brush to lift paint off the paper.

There are a few I've done that way (ignore the one using gauche paint) on my blog)

[yizzard]

Hang on -blog in my sig now.

[Karon Stubbs]

Thanks for all the info - I am learning so much from people who clearly know lots more than I do! I've just pre-ordered loads more new stamps from the sponsors. can't wait to get them and start playing !!

[yizzard]

I use my cat's eyes ink with the aquaKure paint brush in much the same way too - and my distressing inks. That brush was the best bit of kit I ever bought!

[Karon Stubbs]

I'll look out for one of those!

[greyparrot]

yeah fab card, how cheesed off am I now I got rid of all my leaf punches! I had about 3 in 2 sizes, now I have non! and I have edwin with broom and need them again! LOL

pmsl! I think I have used them once before this! I only ended up using them because I can't find my mammoth collection of prima type leaves! :blink:

[removed user]

Ohhh lucky you, I have stacks of flowers no leaves :( (stamps feet) :lol:

Cazx

[removed user]

been thinkign about leaves and whilst prima leaves would be the best, Doodlecharms on the cricut has some nice ones. I wonder how small the Expressions will cut them! Will try later.

[greyparrot]

well- I would be lucky if I could find them! They were some that I got years ago, and never got round to using- very similar to the prima ones but cost way less! I may try and find a use for the hoard of skeleton leaves that I had to buy and never used too! :lol:

[gazania]

Just to say I think everyone's cards are really fab :wub: and I have just given in and bought myself a couple of these lovely stamps :lol:

[maggiemae]

Carole & Correna - your cards are lovely.

Not that I am in anyway an expert but I just do the same as Yizz and use watercolour pencils and a waterbrush.

[mum-on-the-run]

I just finished another Magnolia card, but tried something different with this one by stamping onto material!!

You can see it : HERE (http://mum-on-the-run.blogspot.com/2007/09/beate-sketch-challenge-20.html)

TFL :)

[KittyF]

Valerie, you will be as bad as me!

Just preordered another 11, so thats like 20 odd im waiting for now! Woohoo... does anyone know fo any cheap tins i can alter??

I had to take all my tilsas out of there individual wrappings so i could fit them all the box :)

Has anyone ordered Tingla.. the baby one.... couldn't see it on funkykits or sillmonkey... i think i want that one too, it qould be wrong not to have it!

[Silly Monkey]

With the number of M-stamps you soon own - I would call a shipping company and ask them if you could buy a second-hand container and then alter that :P:lol: Not sure how many sheets of paper that would take though :lol:

[maggiemae]

Good grief I think there must be something in the stamps that makes them addictive - even DS (aged 10) had to make a card for his sister today :rolleyes: - its on my blog if anyone would like to see it.

LOL @ Kitty - I "only" have 6 on pre-order from Karen and 4 from Bryony :D

[DawnS]

Lovely Card Cheryl what a great idea.

[Tracy Pearman]

Are those pencils still half price n whsmiths ? I might have to get some :)

[Gadget Monkey]

I only got them Friday, so they could be..... not showing half price on their website, but they were in the shop!!

[mum-on-the-run]
