Hello Everybody

I hope you don't mind me joining in but I've been looking at these stamps, and all the beautiful cards you have made with them for some time (and the Sugar Nellies too!). I've finally given in (don't know why I tried to fight it really!) and bought one and here are the first cards I have made with it.

Hope you like them.

PS the snowflakes on the brown one are actually shiny, silver brads - they don't show up too well on the scan!


Apologies if you have seen these before - I posted them on the old thread which made it the 251st post and the thread closed so I don't know if anybody saw them!

[Mrs Mac]

the thread died :(

time to show and tell again

those are lovely, I like the blues and browns, well I like anything and brown, brown is my fav colour, the colour of galaxy chocolate :)

[Lindylou]

They are so sweet! well done...to resist is futile...lol
Lindylou

[LadyJayne]

...to resist is futile...lol
Lindylou


So true! Which is why I didn't - I have several more winging their way to me now .... part of my Christmas present from DH you understand!

Thanks for the kind comments - I may just nibble the edge of the brown card now just to check if it tastes like galaxy too!

[chillybear]

Wow they're gorgeous hun. I'm kind of getting addicted to Magnolia's :ph34r: :lol:

[wlisa]

Gorgeous cards I tried resisting but it just doesn't work - magnolias or chocolate that is.

[Petra]

I'll jump on the bandwagon with that same stamp, Helen.:lol: I think it's my fave at the moment - here's something I rustled up with it this evening. It's not finished yet as it's going into a minibook.

And I did an Edwin card for DS2's birthday today.

[wlisa]

Gorgeous cards Petra bet your son loved that one.

[jemm]

I hope that I can join in too.....not really a cardmaker yet:lol: but just made my first Magnolia one yesterday. Its here (http://scrapping-with-the-squirrels.blogspot.com/2007/12/one-step-forward-two-steps-back.html)

[Petra]

Looks lovely, Jayne. Are the big scroll swirls the Imaginisce rub ons? I thought that was part of the paper, but then saw you had used some rub ons.

[jemm]

No petra you are right the scrolls are part of the paper its the small pink flowers that are rub ons:)

[LadyJayne]

Lovely cards Petra, (don't expect anything less from you, you know I love your stuff!). I haven't got an Edwin stamp yet but I think I ordered one a couple of days ago - I went ever so slightly mad. I do love that signpost one as well but I haven't seen that anywhere.

How have you done her lantern? The colour of your glass looks brilliant - I never thought of making it look like glass.

And Jemm, your card is great (and I hope you're feeling better, from your blog it sounds as if you've had a right time of it!) I haven't seen that stamp at all - she really is lovely.

[Petra]

I do love that signpost one as well but I haven't seen that anywhere.

How have you done her lantern? The colour of your glass looks brilliant - I never thought of making it look like glass.



I used a clear Gelly Roll glaze to do the lamp. Actually, I "borrowed" the signpost - a couple of other Magnolia afficionados and I met up and stamped away to our hearts' content using the others' stamps.

[LadyJayne]

I've got one of those! I've had it for ages and I've only just discovered it - I've put it on everything that doesn't move this Christmas!

How dim (no lantern pun intended!) not to think of it for that! You will now see it appearing on a Tilda lamp near you soon! Thanks Petra.

[thepinkprincess]

Here's a few of my magnolia cards :wub:

Still no stamp club package - a bit late now as I've made the majority of my xmas cards.

[Bevsie]

Ladies, you are such talented cardmakers. I'm going to have a go with my stamps at the weekend if they turn out half as good as the ones here I will be really pleased.
Isn't it amazing how the same stamp can look so different? Very clever!

[Petra]

Wow! thepinkprincess has been a busy lady!:o

[jennytrue]

Fantastic cards everyone, so much inspiration for all us magnolia addicts!!
Here are a couple i made today -

[Gadget Monkey]

ThePinkPrincess and Jenny, you cards are wonderful, just waiting for my new prismas to arrive to I can have another play (plus I need to get these christmas cards out of the way first).

[LadyJayne]

Beautiful cards - Pink Princess, you have been busy! I pat myself on the back if I get one card made!

I like the way you have cut really close around your stamp Jenny - I think I'll have a go at that next.

I don't think I'll bother going to school today actually - I think I'll just stay home and colour!

Have a good day everyone - will be back later for more inspiration.:D

[thepinkprincess]

Thanks - I didn't make them all in one sitting, I'm not that good! I tend to stamp and colour a few images one night and then a make a few cards with them the next.

[baabaa]

Fantastic cards pinkprincess and Jenny!

Loving my magnolias so much just now I'm using them in my Christmas journal- sure I can find an excuse to get one on every page! And my Nellies and Maggies too when they arrive!

[peechy]

wow!! these cards and projects are just fantastic! you girls really inspire me, thanks for sharing with us:wub:

[Petra]

Lori, your journal entries are sublime! Fantastic stuff.:D

[melaniereid]

All the creations have been so inspiring, Lori I love your little journal, something I have just got to try in the new year. Thanks for sharing.:)

[Bryn]

Lori, your work is amazing!

[jennytrue]

Lori, your journal pages are fantastic!

[Fifi-T]

I got my first Magnolias this week from Silly Monkey Crafts (thanks guys). I got DIY Edwin, Tilda and a frog and a stack of pressies. This is my first card I've made with them.

http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Cardmaking_Blog/Entries/2007/12/8_Magnolia_-_Here_at_Last_files/shapeimage_2.jpg

Probably not what you expect on this thread.

Details as always on the bloogie (http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Cardmaking_Blog/Entries/2007/12/8_Magnolia_-_Here_at_Last.html).

Thanks for looking.

Fiona

[baabaa]

Thank you so much for all your comments ladies :wub: I'm just so loving my tildas just now! It is taking a bit longer to do each page than I thought- must remember 'simple and quick' next year!- but I'm really pleased with it so far!
Your card looks lovely Fiona, I really like the soft muted colours.

[jemm]

I love the present stack fifi.... I made these atcs (http://scrapping-with-the-squirrels.blogspot.com/2007/12/bah-humbug.html) with my Magnolia spiders web.

[LadyJayne]

Fantastic Lori! I love the idea of using more than one stamp - the possibilities are endless! And how cute is that snowman?!

I've got that stamp too Fiona (I have altogether rather more now than I did this time last week - I have no idea how that happened!) and what a good idea to use it for a birthday card - I love the colours too.

I've only managed to do one more - it was my eldest daughter's birthday yesterday, so I thought I'd better show an interest! Although I did make all my family and friends look at my Magnolia stamps and cards, whether they wanted to or not!

[LadyJayne]

They look great Jemm, I love those little crosses hanging from the ribbon. Just shows how versatile these stamps are too.

[melaniereid]

Fabulous cards and ATC's, well done girls.:D

Melanie

[Scrappyjackie]

Love these stamps

[Petra]

Love it, Helen - and it's given me a great idea for another card (although it may be a while till it makes the giant leap from my brain to my fingertips!:rolleyes:)

[Tcake]

Hi guys i know that we are all sugar nellie mad at the moment but here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=6232) are some magnolia cards for christmas.
thanks for looking
Tx

[DoubleDutch]

They are fab Teresa!! :D

[persephone]

lovely cards everyone

[LadyJayne]

Fantastic cards Teresa! I love the one with the little shed in the background.

And I'm intrigued Petra - can't wait to see what you've got in mind. I have an idea for another one too but we've been putting the tree up and watching Bon Jovi on the Royal Variety Performance - a girl has to get her priorities right where Jon Bon Jovi is concerned!

[Tcake]

Hi Jayne...just had the same conversation with my friend , ref JBJ!!!....so fit in a suit!..thankyou for the kind comments.Tx

[debby4000]

I do love checking out these threads such fabby cards. These stamps are by magnolia but in different sizes.

[baabaa]

Gorgeous card Debby- looks so scrummy!:lol: Making me hungry now!

[Bevsie]

Ooh. love that cupcake

[jemm]

Thats lovely Debby......I love the object stamps as well as the tildas:)

I have been Magnoliaing (http://scrapping-with-the-squirrels.blogspot.com/2007/12/more-magnolias.html) again:)

[peechy]

[peggiey]

Just checked the magnolia blog & I've won one of the giveaways - I got to choose 2 stamps. How good is that!

[peechy]

whioo hooo!! thats soooo cool!! congrats, which did you choose?

[peggiey]

Thanks Peechy - I chose Tilda with her blanket & cupcakes (someone posted a card with these stamps & it was lovely).

I just eceived 4 yesterday that I had ordered directly from them - only took 5 days to come which I thought was very good in light of all the comments I have read on here about how long they take to ship things

[peechy]

yummy choices!! that cupcake card was really nice, made me see the none tilda/edwin stamps differently.

been stamping and colouring today, love the whispers blend pen someone recomended.

5 days delivery time is very good for magnolia!!

[Rhi]

So after a long time where I wasn't sure about Tildas I've finally come round! The lovely Nic let me stamp some from her fantastic collection and I thought I'd share my first Tilda card!
http://bp3.blogger.com/_Najt_QGDRaQ/R2E6Tqt-4tI/AAAAAAAAA0U/gDJvKv9VuwU/s320/tilda+pink.jpg

Hey Prima! Its been aaaages! What are you up to? Yep I've got my eye on the nellies too:lol:

[Gadget Monkey]

Rhi, that card is lovely, I'm not normally a pink person, but that looks great...

[Theresa]

There are some lovely cards on here, and lots of inspiration.

(Thanks to Monica ~ Passionflower for the stamped image used for the Get Well card x )

[Kitty Crafts]

Excuse the bad photo but here are a load of 'Homeless Magnolias' waiting for their new homes (cards) lol !!

[LadyJayne]

Beautiful cards - every time I think I have seen all the stamps more cards pop up using different but equally desirable ones!

I love all those stamped and coloured on the card waiting for a home too - I think I'm just going to stamp all over a piece of card and leave it like that - they look lovely!

[persephone]

[Theresa]

Lovely cards Charlie, must dig out my fern punches, I had forgotten how nice they look.

[Franmade]

I have been neglecting my poor tildas for the new nellies and maggies so I thought I'd better show them some TLC! Here are 2 that I have managed to make recently. Snowflakes are from the sizzix snowflake set and the large c is a sizzix bigz die that I got along with the mango tango alphabet set in the fantastic ellision 75% sale recently.

[peechy]

awww!! how cute are they?!! love them. the colours are soo nice. love the shadding on tilda.

[Gadget Monkey]

They are lovely Frances, gorgeous colours!!

Tilda looks great sitting on the C :D both these are great, I keep meaning to cut out some big snowflakes as they look so good :D

[Bevsie]

They are so gorgeous. I love the Tilda sitting on the C and the one sitting in a heart too. I can feel a shopping spree coming on.

[Isa-uk]

Really enjoying seeing all the cards on here !! you are sooooo creative and talented ladies !!

[Melinda]

Here is the card I made for my daughter to give to her step-dad, he loved it.

[Melinda]

Not sure if the card has loaded, will hopefully put into my gallery too.

[passion4crafts]

I don't see it hun.

[Isa-uk]

nope, no card here :(

[Melinda]

Think file is too big, anyone know how to make it smaller?

[Melinda]

Trying again to load card

[Isa-uk]

oh I'm so glad you got there in the end, it would have been a shame to miss it !!
love it ! it's gorgeous !!

[wlisa]

Isa-uk how do I access your blog, I can't find a link and would love to have peek.

[DoubleDutch]

Received my new Magnolia order this morning (Thanks Karen!!) and couldn't resist a play :D

She must be my all time favorite Tilda!

[Gadget Monkey]

Marlene, I think that card is absolutely gorgeous, I so love the colours and the MME papers are lush, I used a lot of these on my cards.... is the wishlist bit a stamp??

[Theresa]

Received my new Magnolia order this morning (Thanks Karen!!) and couldn't resist a play :D

She must be my all time favorite Tilda!


Stunning card - really beautiful, I'm waiting for this Magnolia to land on my doorstep, have some fabulous inspiration now :D

[Franmade]

Ooooh, Marlene, another fantastic card. She is one of my favourites as well, but I've yet to colour her in :rolleyes: but you've spurred me on! I also have her in the wintery snowflake version as well which I love too.:wub:

[DoubleDutch]

:) Thanks girlies

Linda, wish that 'wishlist' was a stamp would be so useful! but it was actually on a cut out sheet from MME in the same range :D

[peechy]

fantastic cards, melinda and marlene!!

I keep forgetting to take piccies of the cards i make for Christmas, sold most of them now but here are a few.... please excuse the photo... taken tonight so lighting poor and the cards packets reflecting the light. Lots of glitter but not showing in photo:)

[QUOTE=DoubleDutch;4281566]Received my new Magnolia order this morning (Thanks Karen!!) and couldn't resist a play :D

me too, i love that one. beautiful card

[Pink Chocolate]

can anyone tell me what card you use to stamp your images onto and then watercolour on as my ink doesnt seem to go watery and spread if you know what i mean so i am now wondering if it is the card that i use

ps love all of your cards the are so fantastic and inspiring

[Franmade]

Here's 2 I made for my niece & nephew who are typical teenagers and wanted money instead of presents:rolleyes:. Money is inside the tag cards which are slotted in the pockets, which make up the front of the cards.:wacko:

Think I prefer Edwin although not that happy with his hair - looks like a wig,:lol: the black I used was too thick and heavy

Pink Choc, think it probably will be the card as some can be too absorbant so soaks up all the water. I just use good quality thick card, most of mine come from papermill, just need to experiment.

[Pink Chocolate]

mmmmmm that could be it then, is it any particular sort from papermill hun and where can get it from?

[Bryn]

Franmade, your cards are just fabulous!

[Isa-uk]

Franmade !! brilliant cards !!! :love::love:

[DoubleDutch]

Frances, :wub: your cards, such a great idea to 'wrap' up the money :)

Pink chocolate, I use a medium surface cartridge pad from winsor and newton, this can be found in most cs and shops like the Range.
Mine is a A6 size, I'll stamp all pages and then colour the ones when I want to use them
Also any watercolour paper will spread the medium you use better.

Here is another Edwin finished last night

[Isa-uk]

lovely card Marlene !! beautiful colouring :D

[Franmade]

Thanks girls:)

Pink Choc - It various in papermill, I just go looking for the whitest card that's quite thick and relatively smooth or as others have suggested go for watercolour paper, all trial & error IMO.

Marlene, the colours are absolutely stunning (you do realise this is the stamp I should have got instead of the duplicate one I mentioned in the other thread:rolleyes: not fair *stamps foot & sulks*) I hope my 120 set of prismas come soon:(

[Isa-uk]

you do realise this is the stamp I should have got instead of the duplicate one I mentioned in the other thread:rolleyes:

yup, not fair !!
if I had this stamp, I would have stamped it for you, but I don't have it... as I stiiiiil waiting for my stamp club stamps !! which I will never see, I know it now... :(:(

[Melinda]

Loving the cards ladies

[Isa-uk]

hi everyone,
there's a new Magnolia card on my blog ;-)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y238/Isanor/MAGNOLIA/3-1.jpg

[Duckmagic]

wow that is some card Isa, stunning, love what you have done with the star very effective.

[peechy]

awww thats lovely!! love the wire on the star, and the shading's so pretty.... how do you get it so soft and smooth looking?

[Debbieh]

Yes I'd be interested to know aboutthe shading too

[melaniereid]

I have just been having a little play with my prisma's and my new Party Tilda stamp. http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=144772&cat=500
Or its in my gallery, not sure how to do links right.

[Tarasdesigns]

I've made my first Magnolia card, now that the Christmas card production line has stopped.

for some reason I can't add it, as I am a new member :o( Does anyone know how long it takes to be able to add pics if you are a new member?

Thanks
Tara

[melaniereid]

Tara I think you need to have at least 10 posts, but I could be wrong. I have just looked on your blog and you have some lovely cards.:)

[DoubleDutch]

Made the last two christmas cards today.. so all finished now to enjoy tomorrow!! Yay
You can view them on my blog (http://just-me-marlene.blogspot.com/)

Like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2008 :D
See you all in the New Year!

[Petra]

I've had a little flurry of Magnolia cardmaking the past couple of days. This is one that I gave to my au pair who was leaving us. Note the handy pocket for hiding her Christmas bonus. Anyway, she said she cried for 2 hours on the coach back to Warsaw after she opened it. Hopefully it was tears of joy!

[peggiey]

Lovely cards Marlene, Tara & Petra

The stamps that I won on the Magnolia blog draw arrived today. Not only did I get the 2 that I asked for, they also sent me 3 others - Edwin's dog, Tilda's cat & Tilda's princess birthday cake:)

[Petra]

Lucky you, peggiey. Christmas came early!:)

[LadyJayne]

Lovely cards - I particularly like the way of hiding the money Petra.

Well Merry Christmas to everybody - I hope you all have a lovely day.

[Tcake]

Hi everyone...i've posted some new cards on my blog. A BIG Thankyou for all your inspiration ...there are some lovely cards on here.

[Gadget Monkey]

Here are a couple of cards I made using the Magnolia Stamps....

[Isa-uk]

great cards Linda !!!

[Melinda]

Here is the card I have made for my brother's 40th birthday using my latest Magnolia stamp, hope he likes it.

[LadyJayne]

Melinda, that is lovely! I'm sure he will be delighted with it. It's my brother's 40th next Sunday and I haven't given a thought to his card yet!

[Melinda]

Thank you Ladyjayne for your lovely comment. I notice that you live in Northants as well, where abouts?

[LadyJayne]

I live in Rushden Melinda, how about you?

[Melinda]

I live in Desborough nr Kettering. Did you go to Coleman's sale this weekend? I decided to stay away as I have so much stuff,hehe

[LadyJayne]

No I didn't know they had one! We were meant to go yesterday as DD2 wanted to get some more beads but the day kind of got away from us and we forgot!

It's probably just as well, I spend far too much in that place as it is!

[DoubleDutch]

Made a card this afternoon for a new card challenge blog and this is my attempt,
The sentiment is in Dutch, as the card is for my nieces birthday :)
Details can be found on my blog.

[Gadget Monkey]

Marlene, your card is gorgeous, I just love that windmill.

Melinda, great card, your brother will love it, I have that image waiting to be made into a card, but not sure yet what to do with it.

[DoubleDutch]

Thx Linda, and I've been doing a spot of bloggin ^_^ Got your bags packed yet???:P (only wish I was coming with you!)

[peggiey]

Here is a little card that I made very quickly as I need to post tomorrow. One of my free stamps from the blog giveaway over christmas.

I must be better organised than this in future:o

[Gadget Monkey]

Marlene, I am very disorganised and will probably pack my bags Sunday afternoon, the only problem is getting up at 2am Monday morning to get to Luton airport in time for our flight, need to be at the car park we have booked by 3.30am.... what are the chances of the children letting us sleep Sunday afternoon!!! thanx for your comment too!!

[DoubleDutch]

[wlisa]

Gorgeous Marlene

[baabaa]

I'm in awe of your superb colouring skills Marlene- gorgeous!
Yep Jakki, I used masking fluid for the dots! Really handy stuff as it stops me going over the edges of any little fiddly bits too!

[wlisa]

Here (http://lisascraftworld.blogspot.com/2008/01/cards-i-am-on-roll.html) is a card I made today, hope you like it.

[Gadget Monkey]

Gorgeous cards Marlene and bird, such lovely colours and the colouring in is superb...

[Gadget Monkey]

Ooops missed yours Lori, they are gorgeous too, I particularly like the first card with the doodling on it!!

Lisa I left a comment on your blog, great cards, can see you have been busy!!

[persephone]

Gorgeous cards. Love the vibrancy of the colours Lori and Bird

[Franmade]

Oooh, what stunning cards! I've not been on here for a while, been grabbed by the blogging/challange bug :).

Lori, I love the way you added dots to the dresses,
Marlene, another stunner as per usual :P
and Bird, great minds and all that, I used that tilda for the tilda & co challenge the other day!

Here are a few that I've made recently

Off to carry on sharpening my 120 prismas which finally arrived yesterday, 60 down, 60 to go:wacko:

[Pink Chocolate]

Bird and Lisa, Fab cards!! :wub: there is sooo much inspiration on here!!

[Karon Stubbs]

I am in the process of doing a calendar myself (I'm up to June now) using Tildas and Sugar nellies. I tried to load up pics of my first two months the other night but my pics were too big. Does anyone know how to make my photos smaller?

[Pink Chocolate]

its a shame cos i have about 5 of those blank calendars but they are 2008 and ill never get them all done as gifts now boo hoo and as they are marked up as 2008 i cant carry them over and do them for next year.

[Franmade]

Oohh.. frances, think I'll be doing a calender-lift..lol they are all gorgeous!!!
and how are the blisters coming along? :P I had a massive one on my thumb last month!!

Bird and Lisa, Fab cards!! :wub: there is sooo much inspiration on here!!

I remembered reading that you got a blister so I was prepared and made myself go slow and not attempt them all at once:P so yes, pink choc, they come unsharpened but with a sharpener so get ready for some excercise :lol:

As for the calender Pink Choc, I got 2 of them and like you left it too late to make them up as gifts (which was the original intention!) but was determined not to waste them so made 1 for me and the other one I've scrapped with photos for my hubby - that was slightly quicker but took me all of last night:wacko:

Karon, I used my photo editing program and just 'resize' photo, mine keeps everything in ratio so I just type in Width of 800 which is the limit for loading on here and it adjusts the rest for me. HTH if not I'm sure someone else will be better at helping

[claire.viney]

I love those calendars - so lovely.

This is the first card I have made since finishing Thank You cards. It is party magnolia for my mother in laws next door neighbour. Can you guess how old she is? :lol::lol:

Are they the ones from Lidl? I got more than I needed, but I figured that the quality of the cardstock is really good, so I can just cut them down and lose the calendar part, then use them as the basis of a mini book and rebind with bigger wires.

[Pink Chocolate]

They Are Long Slim Ones Like The One Just Used On This Thread, My Father In Law Got Them So Im Unsure Where They Came From But Looking At The It Is Possible To Do What You Said To These Also

Thanks For The Tip Hun

[Petra]

The Lidl ones are more of an A4 size, but you now have an idea. I hate wasting things, but my crafting eyes are bigger than my belly, IYKWIM.:lol:

[Nic]

Claire that card's lovely-love the party girl!

Another beautiful card Marlene!

[removed user]

I have made a card using one of the new spring/valentines stamps that I won off the Magnolia blog over their Christmas giveaways :) Here (http://www.stampingcaz.blogspot.com)

I was so pleased with my prize, 2 tildas, 1 edwin, new bench and three hearts, one was duplicated so there was two hearts really.

Caz

[DoubleDutch]

Oh Caz, the tilda on the card is the one I soooo want!:rolleyes:
They all look stunning!

[Nic]

Marlene and Caz these cards are gorgeous-I love the tones you've both used :)

[Franmade]

Beautiful cards! I've got my eye on that new one too, unfortunately for my bank account, it's not the only one:P

[Isa-uk]

got my DT stamps this morning (including the cute little horse !!). So I should have new cards on my blog very soon (starting with the ISMAKI second challenge on Monday ;) )

[Mrs Mac]

You can see most of the new ones on our site, they are ordered and we now just have to wait untill they arrive. Shame they did not have a farmers boy.

[tillymint]

Isa, your card is gorgeous! I just left a comment on your blog. After seeing just a few of the new stamps I just know I'm going to want them all! My Magnolia wish list is getting longer and longer...

that's right...
having said that, one of the stamp I got, I'm half wondering if it's a boy or a girl... I suppose it could be both depending on the colour of the clothes...

I go and check you site and come back ;)

[Isa-uk]

http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=433

that one... well it is a "Tilda" so I guess it's a girl LOLOL.

I've done door hangers for the children's rooms. They both love them so that's me happy too!
The pics are front and back by the way, not 4 hangers!!:lol:

[Isa-uk]

I was about to say : you've got 4 kids ?:blink::blink:

they are faaab :love::love:

[angeljakki]

they are really cute. everyone in my house thinks my card making sucks but never mind I still fight with them to get the time I need to do my thing.

[Franmade]

Marlene, left comment on your blog - your banner is ace, love the colours. As for your card, I wasn't too sure on the papermania love pack but I think you've just sold it to me :wub:(I thought it'd be too red but the colours look more muted and lush)!!!

Nic, love the door hangers. May have to borrow my sisters' kids and make them some, whether they like them or not :lol:

[Isa-uk]

here you go, preview here and full card on my blog :D

[Franmade]

Another beauty!:wub: I do love these new Tildas with her flowing hair. All these lovely cards making it very difficult to keep my 'to buy' list down

[DoubleDutch]

:nono: Frances.. don't you go spending more ££ :lol:, how's the prisma practise coming along?

Isa.. wow, wow :love: the card, DH is threatening to take my pc away with all the pennies I've just got to spend on the beauties!!:rolleyes: Will mail you in a bit about the worksheets :D

Nic.. I'm in love with those doorhangers! Stunning!

[Nic]

Thanks Marlene! :)

[eblondie26]

Ive just bought my first Tilda stamps :lol:

[Silly Monkey]

Ohhh..how exciting! xxx

They were released to wholesale at the end of last week so will probs be on normal site in next week or so i think.
I will have to get the ones we have on order up on the site ready for their speedy delivery!!!

Bryony

[Scrappyjackie]

Here's a few I made earlier.

I just can't get that distressed look, they all look too clean. I don't think I've got the knack of choosing the right papers.

Hope you like my efforts.

Jackie

[angeljakki]

mixing paper is not my big think either something I am going to work on this year. Your cards are really pretty and work well.

You have got the papers right- beautiful cards

[Nic]

Jackie I think your papers are perfectly fine-what is it you're not happy with? The cards are great

[Isa-uk]

lovely cards Jackie !

[Mrs Mac]

I will have to get the ones we have on order up on the site ready for their speedy delivery!!!

Bryony

are you bribing them with something to get extra fast delivery.:lol:
they recently hit my Cc for delivery charges for orders back dating to the summer, at £50 for a box from Sweden I am thinking about going and getting them myself:angry:

[Scrappyjackie]

Jackie I think your papers are perfectly fine-what is it you're not happy with? The cards are great

I love the way everyone's cards have a more countryish sort of look to them. If I ink the edges of my paper they just look a mess, also I can't get the mix of papers right if I use more than a couple, some of the cards have such a wonderful assortment of papers and frames as well and they just look right together IYKWIM.

But thanks for the encouraging comments, I'll keep trying.

Jackie

[Pink Chocolate]

just ordered 4 more magnolias and a nellie

woohooooo

[wlisa]

Lovely cards Jackie just wished mine would look like that, I am useless at matching paper together.

I know what you mean...i struggle with the distressed look too!..but your cards are stunning...i love the yellow/middle one - its just perfect!! xxx

[Isa-uk]

and I struggle with the non distress lol
I do like clean lines, but I always feel (on my cards) that something is "missing":blink:

[Edna]

Hi,
My latest Tilda & Co challenge card is top of my blog at the mo. I can't remember how to add a thumbnail to my post here Doh!!
I'll have to go to Help when I waken up.
Thanks a lot if you find the time to look.

[Silly Monkey]

No, just wishful thinking!! Mind you my last order only took 2 weeks so fingers crossed!
Can't believe they have just hit your credit card so long after. I have to admit with the order that took 2 months when they wouldn't respond to my emails I had my credit card stopped so they couldn't take payment until they told me when it would ship then had 4 emails in one day - bless em!!

Bryony

[valeriej]

Gorgeous cards Jackie and Edna, loving them all.

I like both the distressed and non-distressed look.

[TraceyJ]

I am completely in love with these magnolia stamps - and the Sugar Nellie.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a website with a GOOD variety of designs available - and any sites with special / good value offers???

PM if necessary!

Thanks :)

[persephone]

Sugar Neliie isn't a Magnolia stamp but a brand/image sold by one of the sponsors on here- Funkykits.

Funky Kits and Silly Monkey are both sponsors who sell the Magnolia stamps.

I know of peeps on here who have bought direct and had loads of trouble

[TraceyJ]

Thanks Heather.
I thought they were from the same brand - they look fairly similar. All absolutely scrummy and I want them all !! Unfortunately my bank balance feels differently!! :lol:

[Silly Monkey]

As Heather said ourselves and FunkyKits sell magnolia stamps.

As they are so popular and due to Magnolias rather dubious/unreliable service, it is hard for anyone to keep the full range in stock.

We still have quite a lot in stock and the new collections are available to preview on the website so it may be worth signing up for product notifications so you will be emailed as soon as the new stamps arrive with us.

Just be careful you don't get addicted!

Bryony

[donnykins]

i heard the word addicted hmmm i dont know what that word means :wacko:

[mariana888]

Well, I've done my first Magnolia Card (Thanks to Karon...) and I already feel the addiction. How excited am I (or sad) that I'm posting this at 7.30am.... before going to work.:wacko:

[Nic]

addicted....errrm would that be 24 mixed Nellies and Magnolias?:rolleyes:

Aye Alex, we do not recomend that anyone hold their breath for Magnolia, I love their stamps and that the only reason I deal with this company, its all been said before:blink:

I live on a farm and was delighted to see this set but I want a boy farmer too!
My day off today so a little HW and a little stamping :)

[Bird]

i need them all lol, and maybe a bind it * hides*

No you just need to stock them, lol!!!!!

[Pink Chocolate]

love that bind it all book

what paper did u use for the inside as always think i should lined when its for a friend as i used to hate note books without lines

[donnykins]

haha alex the day they decided to put customers first and answer emails!!!:wacko:

[Bird]

Lol I know their customer service is atrocious isn't it, but they don't seem to really worry about it though cause people keep buying from them, cause their stamps are soooooooo gorgeous

[Bird]

Hey, all the papers I used in this bind it all book are freebies from the latest Papercraft Essentials mag, I actually like all in the pack that came with the mag, its very valentine yummy xx

[removed user]

haha alex the day they decided to put customers first and answer emails!!!:wacko:

I won some stamps off their site. So I had to email them my details for them to send..so I thought this is an ideal time to say "hey where are my nov/dec stamps I paid for" they sent me my free stamps and no stamp club, no email or anything. It is terrible service, but we love them all so much! Thankfully Funky Kits and Silly Monkey can help us get our fix.

Caz

[Karon Stubbs]

Here's some pages from my Tilda/Sugar nellie calendar which I'm still working on!

[TraceyJ]

Oh Karen - those are scrumptious! I must have the stamps - all of them - now! Heeeeeeelp!!!

[Mrs Mac]

that is lovely Karon, themed too :)

I wish I had the time to play as much as I once did.
