Am SOOOOooo excited - just placed order on funky kits for my first magnolia stamps.................... cannot wait now!! LOL!

[SarahPitts]

Oh did someone say magnolias, off to have a look.

[Nic]

Stoopid question alert!!!
Mrs Mac, when the stamps come into stock, will pending orders just be sent out?

[SarahPitts]

Just ordered 2 magnolias.
Hope they come very soon!! I'm all excited now!

[Trudyw]

Stoopid question alert!!!
Mrs Mac, when the stamps come into stock, will pending orders just be sent out?



I think the only pending orderwe have are for Christmas/fall orders, these stamps have not arrived yet.

The stamps loaded on today and selling fast, are general repeats of ones we have had before.

If anyone has a change to an order they need to email funkykits so it can be delt with. If you had any of today stamps on your wish list, you get an email telling you its now instock, but it does not hold the stamp for you. IYKWIM

Hope that helps.

[Mrs Mac]

Just ordered 2 magnolias.
Hope they come very soon!! I'm all excited now!

:lol:Sarah, if its ordered before Tracy goes to the post office you might just get it tomorrow, you had better be all up todate with the HW so you can sit and play with your Magnolias:wub:

[removed user]

I just ordered three :) WHOO HOO!!!

[SarahPitts]

:lol:Sarah, if its ordered before Tracy goes to the post office you might just get it tomorrow, you had better be all up todate with the HW so you can sit and play with your Magnolias:wub:

That brill!!:rolleyes:

Yes I am all up to date as we are keeping extra clean and tidy while we try to sell the house!
So if I can tire the children out tomorrow morning I can have a peaceful afternoon, just me and my Tildas!

Thank you!!:wub:

:wub: thank you!

[Gadget Monkey]

Petra and Linda, your designs are gorgeous, lovely colours. I also have the Olivia QK set, but haven't used my QK alphabets since getting my cricuts!!

[Linz]

I ordered some a couple of days ago, but some of the ladies that already have them are kindly sending me some images to play with :)

What do people find the best things to colour them in with - I was thinking watercolours and perfect pearls ?

[persephone]

I use watercolours mainly

[Gadget Monkey]

I use watercolour pencils for mine, I colour them in and then go over them with a waterbrush.

Here is my first Magnolia creation.
This is one of the images that Jane stamped for me. Thanks again Jane, yours will be posted today.

My stamps arrived today, thanks Mrs Mac and Tracy.


Here's to more creations!!:rolleyes:

[Mrs Mac]

Shes lovely Sarah.

any more?

[SarahPitts]

Working on another at the moment.
Making the most of the peace and quiet, DS1 is asleep curled up in the arm chair with his teddies and favourite blanket.

[HOPEJACK]

More gorgeous Edwin & Tilda creations here!

GM - really liked your pirate particularly as it's sometimes difficult to make young boy's cards! :wub: Hope he had a nice birthday if it's been...

[Gadget Monkey]

Thanks Patsy, his birthday actually isn't until the end of November, first time I have ever made a card more than a day before the actual event!! Have another sons birthday next week, but he will be 23, so not sure if he would like the pirate.... now maybe a policeman!!!

[Jane Toomer]

Your Tilda card is lovely Sarah - why are they so addictive???!!!
I received a copule more in the post today - Tilda sitting with plaits, Tilda with Teddy, Tilda with petticoats and Edwins bench which I thought would be great with the sitting down stamps and yesterday I bought one locally which is Tilda and Edwin cuddled up together. Let me know if you'd like any of those! In the meantime I hope to get some stamping time to myself tomorrow!!
Jane x

[Nic]

My tildas all came within the space of 3 days!!!

Here's one I've done today

[happyscrappers3]

Nic that card is beautiful! God there is some talented folk on here! I have just received my first two Tilda's today. Im scared to use them.

Keep up the good work it is giving me loads of inspiration.

Liza:love:

[jennytrue]

Love your card Nic! Gorgeous colours!

Here is one I've made today -

[Pink Chocolate]

My Tildas came today and i only ordered them 2 and 3 days ago, (YES I DID ORDER TWO LOTS) but i promised ds and niece that i would take them to see ratatouille. Weve just got back and it was fab i must get the dvd lol

Needless to say they are both now in my craftroom drawing pictures of rats and scenes of the show so ill have to wait before i can play eeeeeeeeek

[Pink Chocolate]

Those two cards are fabulous girls, i take it they are watercoloured.

Ive been trying to do watercolouring but its just not happening the way it should. I was using my pens scribled on plastic then using a water brush mixed and transferred to paper but nothing transferred. I used more water, picked up more ink, squeezed bthe pen but it just wasnt going to happen.

What on earth am i doing so wrong lol

[persephone]

You can colour the image direct and then blend with water on a brush or I scribble onto card to get a solid block of colour and then brush and water to make it liquid

[Nic]

Thanks girls...I've been using a mix between colouring straight onto the paper with pens, colouring on the paper then using water (just a wet paintbrush) to blend, and sometimes I do the scribble on plastic and pick up with a wet brush thing!
On the card above, I just coloured the top half with pens, but for the bottom half I picked up the ink with a wet brush.

Jenny, that's so pretty on the embossed background :)

[jennytrue]

Thanks Nic!

Pink Chocolate, I colour mine in with watercolour pencils (Derwent) and then use a waterbrush to go over. If anywhere needs more shadow I just add some more pencil and use the waterbrush again. HTH

[Gadget Monkey]

OMG, they are absolutely stunning......

[peechy]

ooo lovely cards girls!! great inspiration:wub:

[Bird]

Here is my latest, this was an image that Monica very kindly sent me, I love this Tilda and I am just going to have to get her!!!

OK - what is it I'm not doing right here, please???

[persephone]

you need to go to 'go advanced' and then manage photos and then upload to there and they'll appear in your post. Make sure they've been compressed for web pages though- if they're too big they won't upload

[ger]

Been playing with my new stamps additions, I'm lovin these cuties:wub:

[Linz]

Thanks to those that have sent me some stamped images - I'm having fun playing.

Do most of you chose your papers first and then colour your images - must admit at the moment I'm having fun colouring in the images first and then wondering about what I'm going to do with them !!

I have finished one so far though, not great but it's my first one so...

[TwinTrouble]

Lovin' all your creations... these stamps are sooooo cute!:wub:

Am resistin' at the moment as I have soooo many Penny Black's to use first!:(

[tilda fan]

[Quixotic]

I haven't really posted here much - I originally signed up a while ago to get advice and info from the Craft Robo forum.

Since this is where all the Magnolia/Sugar Nellie chatter seems to happen though, I thought I would say hello properly and share a couple of my cards!

So hi! I'm Elaine, and I'm a Magnolia addict. :lol:

Loving all the creations on this thread! Great stuff folks. :wub:

[jennytrue]

They are gorgeous Elaine, love the twinkly dresses and the colours you've used!

Frances you can include a photo in your reply as follows:

First save a photo of your card(s) onto your PC

Then open up the "Advanced reply" box.
Click on the button that says "Manage Attachments"
Use the browse button to select your photo from your PC
Click upload
...and that should be you.

HTH - look forward to seeing your card. Oh and welcome to UKS :)

[Franmade]

Thanks maggiemae, I shall try that once I've figured out how to reduce my file size (it's too big at the moment :lol:)

[Franmade]

o.k I couldn't attach my photo jpeg as it was too big so I've scanned my card which seems to be o.k but the downside is it doesn't look as good:(

[jennytrue]

It's a lovely card Frances, love the colours you used on Tilda :)
Welcome to UKS!

[Lindylou]

Heres one I made earler (said in my best Blue Peter voice )

[pinga]

I love the little sledge card.

[DawnS]

Very cute Jane you will have some more images soon to play with.:)
I love the one with the parcels, your new cuttlebug is getting lots of use.

[Gadget Monkey]

OMG I love those cards, I love the string in the sledge, and the colours, but the other one is just as lush, the colours are wonderful, and I love that stamp (I have just bought it but haven't used it yet.... will get it out today) watch this space!!!

[jennytrue]

Love the cards Brodders! The sledge one is fab with the string, love the red and white colour scheme.

Here's one I made last night - The red snowflake embellishment is actually a free tree decoration from this month's Ideal Home! There are 8 double sided ones with string round the middle but they just prise apart! 16 embellies for my cards!

[Giavanna]

Lovely Card Jenny - fab colours

here's one of my efforts made from the gogo greetings this month
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/data/501/edwin.jpg

[Gadget Monkey]

Jenny that card is gorgeous, and I love that little snowflake....

And that mellow Basic Grey paper card is lush too.... I so love that paper!!

[brodders]

Both lovely cards :)

[Nic]

Loving all the cards! I wish I had as much talent with watercolours as some of you have in your little fingers!

[robinsmadmum]

that is a lovely card Jenny - must show DD when she gets back from school as that was the stamp she chose for her chrsitmas cards - would you mind if she lifted that idea?

[Gadget Monkey]

Another one from me......

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/magnolialarge.jpg

[jennytrue]

Not at all Jenny, hope your DD enjoys making all her xmas cards!

Love the card Linda, fab papers!

[Franmade]

Loving all the cards and some of the backing papers are so lush. Here are a few I've made in the last week.

Now need to turn my attention to my lovely little nellies who all arrived today.^_^

[Gadget Monkey]

Lovely cards Frances.... cant wait to see your Nellie creations!!

[Quixotic]

Photo isn't the best as the light here is awful at the moment, and I don't have a daylight bulb (hopefully when we move at the end of the month, I'll finally get myself set up properly for taking decent photos).

Anyway, a quick Christmas design I did yesterday, where I decided to try decorating the back of the card too...something I love seeing on some of the Swedish/Dutch/Norwegian blogs I've looked at...

Oh, and also attached a pic of a little gift box design I did...

[DoubleDutch]

They are fab Quixotic, I like to decorate the backs too.. mind you, this is not just because I'm dutch :D

[Quixotic]

They are fab Quixotic, I like to decorate the backs too.. mind you, this is not just because I'm dutch :D

Hehe, thanks! I think it was on a Dutch blog that I think I actually first saw it done. Prior to that I hadn't actually thought of it!

[debby4000]

Loads and loads of fab cards everyone, some with Magnolia's I haven't got does this mean more shopping!!!!!

[Shary]

My Nellies haven't arrived yet so thought I'd use my Magnolias instead. I made a White Christmas card here. (http://shary-theothersideofme.blogspot.com/)

A couple of Christmas ones from me....The edwin cards are needing something else, but I'm not sure what-all suggestions welcome!

[toothfairytrace]

So many lovely cards! Really stunning!

I love the pale colours on Chilly Tilda!

Nic your cards are pretty as they are - or you could add a wee strip of ribbon to hide where the paper joins the embossed bit.

Lovely though! Hoping I can get some done today maybe - I'm in the mood!!!

[Quixotic]

I'm in the mood, but I packed all my stuff away ready for moving this weekend.

GAH!

[toothfairytrace]

Oh my goodness! Good luck with the move!

It's all happening here.....new babies.....new homes....what will be next!!!! :wub:

You can read more about it on my blog if so inclined. :)

Gorgeous Andrea! You've been busy!!!

[peechy]

wow!! how nice are they?? love them andrea.

[newbielou]

I've finally succumbed and bought 2 of these stamps. They really do look fab on the cards you've all been making. Thanks for the inspiration everyone.

I just have a question.

A lot of you watercolour the images, what do you use to stamp with so the image doesn't bleed? I know staz on is popular but I dont have any of these inkpads. I have whispers and the bumper pack of inks from lakeland and a few chalk inks will any of these be suitable or do I need to buy a new ink pad aswell?

Thanks for your help and keep up the good work, this thread is so inspirational:)

[newbielou]

Just had a proper look at your cards Andrea they really are beautiful x

[GeordieGirl]

Amy I would really recommend the black stazon ink pads. Chalk inks won't work and I've no experience of the others. The stazon always gives a good crisp print and never budges no matter how much water you paint over the top :)

[newbielou]

thanks Andrea, looks like I have to spend a bit more :ph34r:. :)

[Mrs Mac]

Another vote for staz on *puts hand in the air* and I am on the look out for the grey and brown one too.

[GeordieGirl]

I didn't know they did other colours until a couple of weeks ago. I have the brown one which is nice but didn't know they did grey, looks like that's something else I 'have' to buy

[Mrs Mac]

I thought the brown one would be nice on cream card for a more vintage feel. You did a beautiful card some time ago Andrea which was shades of brown with lace if I can remember right. And I have some lovely crochet flowers that a customer kindly made for me and I must use those.

[newbielou]

I just had a play with my whispers ink pad and covered it in water afterwards and the image has stayed put so I think i'll stick with that for now but i'll keep an eye out for staz on (thanks for the tip) I know argos do a huge stack of 30 or so colours in the whispers range so that might be something for me to ask for from father christmas.:D

[Isa-uk]

FABULOUS cards ladies !!! wow !

I've uploaded a couple on my blog too.....

[Samm]

Here's todays effort!

Andrea these cards are gorgeous!

Amy, I sometimes use a grey Versafine ink pad-waterproof and the little square ones are really cheap too!

Here's a card I made with some of the stamps from the club

I've been playing with my Tildas and some shrink plastic today-quite pleased with the results, but I'm not sure what I'll do with it! :D

[peechy]

ooo thats pretty nic! do you put up a christmas tree? they'd make cute tree deco's

[Nic]

I might put some on the pink "girly" tree as they're quite tinsy-only about 1" in diameter

[wlisa]

They might make nice keyrings or bag charms!

My latest tilda card! Colour is a bit off as I took the photo when it was dark and had to crank the brightness up!

[Pemmie]

Lori, that's a VERY pretty card :)

[Gadget Monkey]

Lori, that is absolutely gorgeous....

My new Magnolias turned up today from Funky Kits, I got the party Edwin and party Tilda.... just need time to play now!!

[SandyDee]

I just received my Tildas and would like to get some ideas on how you mount them. Are you mounting them on wooden blocks, clear blocks. Are you mounting them permantely? I would prefer to have them on the clear blocks and not mounted permantley. Any ideas and help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sandy Dee

[Kitty Crafts]

Sandy

I use a clear block and just put a strip of repositionable herma/similar on the back, then when I peel them off the block, I just rub away the adhesive :)

Kaz x

[GeordieGirl]

If they are on EZmount they stick to an acrylic block (or a CD case if you've lost yours :lol:) and if they are unmounted I just stick with a glue stick to my acrylic bloc

[SandyDee]

The Tilda's that I just purchased are unmounted and have a very sticky glue on the back (once you remove the backing paper). I have a lot of clear CD cases laying around - I think that I will go ahead and mount each one of them on a case. Thanks to all for your help (you can tell that I'm a new stamper - LOL).

Absolutely stunning Lori, & a worthy winner of the Aberdeen crop Christmas card challenge.

[Kitty Crafts]

:rolleyes: Oops ! I got my Tildas and my Nellies mixed up lol !! My Tildas just stick to the block, but it is the Nellies that I add the adhesive to :rolleyes:

[NIKIG]

Sorry to hijack your thread ladies, but i have wondered what these magnolia stamps are for a while and then saw this thread, just had to have a look and WOW is all i can say. The cards you have all made are gorgeous and those stamps are just as gorgeous. Can anyone tell me where i can get them from please.
Well done everyone on your cards:)
