[comfortablecat]

Just bookmarking..................................39 stamps:o:o:o Hope we get to see lots of yummy cards with them:rolleyes:

[angeljakki]

I only have a couple more of the spring kit to use and thats them all used once. i am trying to put 1 card of each stamp on my blog which is hard sometimes cos like anything we all have favourites.

[tobysmum]

Those Magnolias sure are naughty. They are just so gorgeous!!! I was very good last night though, I was having a nosey on Sir Stamp a lot and I was so tempted to get some more but, I resisted as I have only just got the spring club set and I have to be very careful for the next few weeks or the bank manager will be after me!!!

[faeryscrapper]

Well, with the stamp club stamps I now own 56 Magnolias altogether and I thought that was bad - can't imagine being ever able to order 39 in one go :wacko:

[Nic]

39!!! I bow to your shopping skills!:lol:

I managed another wee play this afternoon with the club stamps and came up with this one

Gorgeous card Nic :)

[joanold]

Caz, how did you do the 'masking technique' with the clouds and flowers on your card?

[Nic]

I just counted my Magnolias.........48!! EEK! :D

[CraftyCaz]

Caz, how did you do the 'masking technique' with the clouds and flowers on your card?

I stamped the girl onto my white card, and then stamped her again and cut her out. I then used repo herma to stick her over the original stamped image and stamped the clouds over the top.

[tobysmum]

To say I only got my first one in January, I'm not doing too bad I have 18 stamps, that's not including accessories xxx

Just wondered who's got the most tilda if Caz ordered 39!!!!!!!!! ......... I have 68 figures !!!!!!! sat on my lap :wub:(quite a few are the older christmas ones must admit i like the newer designs)plus extras horse, bail etc which i havent counted Tx

[maddiejane]

I think i have got 27 figures then about 12 accessories (haven't added my news ones onto my checklist yet) which seems a really poor show now...must speak to hubby about how i need to buy a few (cough cough) more :)

[butterbee]

Hi

Bookmarking as I lost the thread!!!

I love the tilda on the swing.................I really don't need any more stamps - but that one is lovely :wub:

Loving the cards!

[cathyfrance]

:( I haven't received my spring kit !! everybody in France received it last week .... and my credit card is not charged!

[NickyRich]

well, because of you lot,I counted last night! Have 59 figures and about 15 accessories!! All of those have been bought since January!!! Plus all the Sugar nellies etc I have bought! No wonder I have been feeling skint!!!!

[taniaj]

I dont feel too bad then i have been getting mine since August last year Tx

[peechy]

LOL!! I cant believe the amount of stamps some of you have!! I feel much better about my small hoard now.... they are moreish tho:)

[angeljakki]

i am willing to state that I have a magnolia addiction, equalled with Hanglars and then Sugar nellies. I have lost count of my magnolias but will tally up when the new ones arrive.

[TwinTrouble]

:lol::lol::lol:... I thought I was bad but I am proud to say not as bad as some of you, No Magnolia's as yet but watch this space:rolleyes:, just 30 Nellies this month:ph34r::ph34r:
Can't believe how lovely they all stamp though... just so clean and crisp:wub:

[maddiejane]

I've just ordered the Summer club!! Yay!

Might have to order a few from elsewhere too though. I have an urge:) oo-er missus:)

[taniaj]

I must admit i ordered the full years all at once, It meant it was a large payment but now its done and i just have to wait Tx

[maddiejane]

i was going to but decided to go with just Spring & see how that went. But i think i'll still do it a season at a time

[peechy]

i'll be doing season by season too, although it's hard to imagine, i may well be into another stamp/style this time next year.... cant see it happening but you never know:)

[TwinTrouble]

Does anyone know when they'll be posting the Summer Kit:wub:... mines already ordered:ph34r:

[maddiejane]

I have no idea, sorry

[peechy]

:lol: i think your addiction far outweighs mine Erika!! I dont think it will be for a while yet as the spring ones went off starting from 15 April.

[tobysmum]

Well, I feel I have to go play catch up, I think I will have to go and order myself some more of the little lovelies. There are a couple who are begging me to get them and I have some Prismacolors on order so it would be rude not too lol xxx

[CraftyCaz]

Ok, I have ** stamps...

[sonia_o]

When will the new spring stamps be available to buy in the UK?
I NEED some of the new ones, lol,
Best save my pennies now :)

[Bryn]

I made this card this morning. new Tilda yet again:)

Love it, so cute.

[hollybank]

Right another stupid question...

OK, so I'm new to this stamping lark...

I have got my new spring collection stamps and my Ez Mount, do I cut the stamps up and then mount them or mount them then cut round them???

[floydypops]

Caz , that's so funny !! Even UKS thought that was a lot of Tilda's :P

Hollybank I think you can do it either way , I roughly trim mine first and then put them on the EZ mount, apparently it helps to put talcum powder on the sticky bits that are in between the stamps as it wilstick to your scissors less.

I have used a couple of the spring stamps here (http://floydypops.blogspot.com/2008/04/tilda-friends-atc-challenge.html) for the Tilda & Friends ATC challenge.

[CraftyCaz]

Actually **Hangs Head in Shame** UKS didn't put stars...it was me.....including the accessories I now have over 100 stamps....OMG I am an addict...LOL

I have however done the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge...HERE (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/04/tilda-and-friends-atc-challenge-may.html)

[maddiejane]

i keep looking at the Chic ones too. I did have hubby CC last night to whilst ordering the summer club. In the end though i just couldn't think straight & the moment has passed for me to have free will with his card:P!

i haven't looked at any challenges for a few days. Possibly won't have time to do the ATC one this week at all.

[maddiejane]

[maddiejane]

[tobysmum]

Lovely cards everyone. I was on Sir stamoalot last night and 4 more stamps jumped into my basket!!! Oh well, that's what happens when you're not looking lol. I seem to have come to another stand still with my cards but, to be honest with you, I think I am holding out for my Prismas. I had a look on the site I ordered them from and they were shipped today!!! 120 Prismas on the way to me woohoo!!!!

[kevie192]

Aww Erika you beat me to offering to buy maggiemae's stamps! Hehe! Still, you NEED some magnolias now....

[kevie192]

butterbee I've PM'd you :D

Love that card Caz, and I love the maskinh technique. I've not got any stamps that would be suitable to use as a background like that. Maybe I NEED to get some! hehe

Kevin x

[CraftyCaz]

Kevin you can use the clouds that were in the club kit...and mask the Tilda on the swing like Jakki did...amd I copied.
Caz

[kevie192]

Aww that's a good idea :D I'll try it sometime soon!

[bramblepie]

Now you all playing with the new Magnolias anyone selling tilda with bird or the cat goin to put an ad on marketplace but thought I would ask you first here
love all the new cards you been making

[tobysmum]

Fab cards everyone, as always. Well, I happened to stumble on a site that sells Magnolia stamps and 4 jumped into my basket, that will be 8 stamps bought this week, boy are my Prismas gonna be busy when they arrive lol xxx

[Lindylou]

My new Magnolias arrived this morning so when I had a minute I stamped them up and made a quick card. Hope you like it.
Linda x

[Melinda]

Linda your card is very pretty

[Mrs Mac]

Just had a peek ( but did not order) the newest Magnolias. Girls with magnolias and lilac flowers, sitting on a wall and a dress up girl in her undies with two other stamps as outfits. Nothing completely new and I think I liked the shabby chic ones better.

[angeljakki]

I think the tilda holding the lilacs is the best tilda they have done so far. She is so cute and the dress up dolly is a really cute idea but not everyone loves everything thats why there are so many stmaps on the market.

[Teaghen]

Everyone is making such fantastic cards, specially with the Spring stamp club :0 I really need to have a proper play with mine just not enough hours in the day at the moment. Here's (http://teaghens.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-cards.html) a really simple one I made for my BIL & SIL's anniversary, have had this stamp for a while but it's the first tiem I've used it.

I been thinking christmas can you believe never been known till least november will there be any new christmas out anyone know love the cards Tracey

[CraftyCaz]

I am sure there will be Denise...not sure when though.

I am in shock, I ordered the Shabby Chic stamps direct from Magnolia last month and they arrived missing two stamps, so I phoned them and spoke to one of the ladies...who promised to send the missing items. I have heard so many bad things about them never answering emails or phones that I didn't think they would ever be sent....WELL...you can imagine my surprise this morning when the two missing stamps dropped through the letter box....Yayyyyy.

[NickyRich]

must say, I have received good service from them every time. Loads of gorgeous cards ladies (and gent!)

How does this stand with the angel policy? I know you're not selling it so it probably doesn't matter - but does that could as reproducing electronically? Kevin x

[angeljakki]

Some great cards everyone comments left.
After what seemed like forever mystamps arrived here is a card with Hopeless tilda (http://angeljakki.blogspot.com/2008/05/rock-chick.html) I love this stamp and I am sure it is going to get used all the time.

[Tcake]

Hi girls...fab cards ladies..just catching up with all the recent posts....has anyone got Edwin grandfather ? I am desperate for some images or do you know of any supplier that has it? (other than magnolia) many thanks Teresa...

[CraftyCaz]

Teresa, I am sure Sir Stampalot has it in stock at the moment.

Here (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/folder-for-stamped-images-swaps.html) is something I made yesterday.....

Caz

[maddiejane]

can you help re the Magnolia site please:) i want to order some single stamps but in the price section it has the stamps (in GBP) as £65.00 or £69.00 . So atm my basket reads about £134.00 just for 2 stamps!!!
I am sure that the dot is in the wrong place of course & should only be £13.40 but i need to know if when i finally checkout whether it will be the corrected amount??
My hubby is paying & won't let me have his card until i know if it will be OK & we only get charged the smaller amount:unsure:.

[CraftyCaz]

Amanda...I always leave in it dollars...it will always how the SKr amount as well...I am sure the amounts you mention are SKr...there are approx 12 SKR to the £....so SKr 65 = £5.45..

HTH
Caz
x

[maddiejane]

oh ok i'll go & try that. thanks caz :)

[kevie192]

maddijane it's just because they've not updated the exchange rate. The site thinks there are 1 SEK to £1 which is wrong. I got 4 stamps, 3 Ez and 1 not and it was about £25 inc shipping.

Kevin x

[maddiejane]

thanks Kevin all done now. I did it with the $ like Caz & helped me understand the exchange rate abit better. Poor hubby nearly had a heart attack when he saw my first checkout list:D! He wondered what kind of stamps would cost near on £300 inc postage :D:D

[CraftyCaz]

LOL....Men, I never show mine what and when and how much...EVER....but I think he has a fair idea.
Caz
x

[maddiejane]

thats the trouble when i don't earn my own money (well i work but its only 8 hours a week so doesn't go far!) I think hes actually given up worrying about it these days tbh though...:D

I've done this card & the ATc over the last couple of days. All new spring stamps of course:)

[craftingkaren]

i havnt used my tildas for ages here is a very quick one i made this afternoon, daughter needed it for a friend so didnt have time to let paint dry so i used pencils turned out ok for a 10 minute job.

[maddiejane]

thats really pretty . love the cicle Tilda is sat in

[DoubleDutch]

Wonderful cards everyone! :)

Here (http://mar1ene.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/3d-tilda/) is my card for the magnolia challenge blog

[kevie192]

Well I got a cheap set of pencils and some Sansodor today to have a play. I'm quite pleased with the results.

Here (http://thekraftykorner.blogspot.com/2008/05/heres-atc-that-i-made-for-swap-im.html)'s my first ever ATC!

Hmmm... Pictures that I take of my cards etc. never look very good at all. Any tips for getting good photos?

Kevin x

[floydypops]

Great ATC Kevin !! Do you take your photo's in side ??? they are much better in natural light with no flash :)

I have had a go at the Magnolia Challenge today , here (http://floydypops.blogspot.com/2008/05/magnolia-challenge.html)....decoupage , but only a little bit :lol:

[taniaj]

Here (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/male-magnolia-card.html) is my card for today. I am busy working on ATC's for the swap....I have almost completed 6, and am working on the final 2...

Lovely creations everyone:wub:

There is a Magnolia card on my blog using a stamped image recieved from the lovely UKS members, sorry can't remember who as I've had so many this last week or so, you are all sooo kind:wub:

[angeljakki]

I love the goblin stamps... Nobody seems to use them though!

I think the goblin stamps are so cute. The boy ones are so cool for the rouge boy in our lives. Great for hillbilly cards too. The goblin stamp used was the goblin oak accessory.
Thank you for your lovely comments.
I am going to be working on my atcs tomorrow. Hopefully as long as nothing else goes wrong here with work.

[DoubleDutch]

Caz, love the 'male' card :D and think I've got to have that wall now!!!

Fab cards everyone!!! It amazes me how clear you get your stamps, I use Versafine ink pads and everything but they still smudge or the image lines are really thick. Do you think I am putting too much pressure on the stamp? Any suggestions welcome xxx

I don't use Ez Mount on my stamps and no foam mats underneath as I find I get a clearer image with just the stamp on the acrylic block, card and a table:wub:

I just use versafine and take the ink to the stamp not the other way around. I use EzMount on my desk surface and press quite firmly.

HTH

[peechy]

are you "rocking" the stamp? do you pull up when you've stamped rather than sideways IYKWIM?

also, have you trimmed any extra rubber? I find i have to trim as close as i can get to the image.

I used to get a lot of "over stamp" but less now altho certain stamps are still a little funny.

[CraftyCaz]

Here (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/atcs-for-uks-swap.html) are some ATC's that I made over the bank holiday weekend with my new Magnolia's.

[butterbee]

Caz - the ACT's are lovely - what do you use to colour them in?

[kevie192]

butterbee Caz uses Sansodor and paper stumps and I agree, the colouring is stunning!!!

Kevin x

[butterbee]

Thanks Kevin - the colours are fab!!

[angeljakki]

Caz your ATCs look great.
Here (http://angeljakki.blogspot.com/2008/05/cutie-tilda.html) is Tilda with bowknot she is so cute.

[eralc]

Thanks Kevin - the colours are fab!!

you know you are going to order some, if you haven't already ;) :lol: :wub:

[angeljakki]

It amazes me how clear you get your stamps, I use Versafine ink pads and everything but they still smudge or the image lines are really thick.

I don't use versafine for that very reason. I use Stazon. For me personally I like the fine line it gives. On larger stamps I use a pad to stamp on but in general use the stamp prit stuck on acrylic. Hold the stamp in one hand and the pad in the other and gently tap the pad on the stamp, this way you can feel how much pressure you are applying.
New ink pads are a nigtmare as they are loaded with ink. You need to apply no pressure at all really.

[butterbee]

you know you are going to order some, if you haven't already ;) :lol: :wub:

Look its not fair when your best friend is here too!!!!!!!!...............You know me so well!!!!:P (I'm watching some on a certain auction site and they have just sent me a £10.00 off voucher too!!!;))

[Samm]

I use Versafine Onyx black if I'm watercolouring or Tim Holtz Black soot distress ink for colouring in Copics, I get a fine line with both :)

I used to get a lot of "over stamp" but less now altho certain stamps are still a little funny.

Thanks for the advice evryone, No, I don't 'rock' I take the ink to the stamp, put the stamp on the paper, press down and then lift it off. Also I have cut really close to the image too. Maybe my surface I am stmping on is not strong enough, I use a keyboard draw on my desk, maybe a harder surface is in order?

Fab cards and ATCs everyone by the way xxx

[maddiejane]

shes lovely Teresa,can't wait for mine to arrive

[CraftyCaz]

For those of you that asked....I have added a masking technique tutorial to my blog this morning.....with lots of pics. I hope it helps those who are unsure. I am not sure if this is how everyone does it....but this is how I do...
Caz

[kevie192]

Caz could I please ask for some details of how you do your colouring? I know you've probably been asked hundreds of times but I really would like to see your techniques :D

Kevin x

[CraftyCaz]

Sure Kevin, I will write up some instruction....although I am sure Isa has a colouring tutorial on her blog.
Caz

ETA...Kevin the tutorial from Isa is HERE (http://isascrapandstamp.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/magnolia-prismacolor-step-by-step/). I learnt from this tutorial...so Thanks ISA.

[angeljakki]

Great tutorial caz. If you stamp onto a post it note for the masking image you have the glue applied already and the paper is thinner too, so you won't get such a fade line between the over stamping and original image.

[maddiejane]

2 cards i have made recently

[angeljakki]

great card maddie.
Here (http://angeljakki.blogspot.com/2008/05/kayleigh-and-bob.html) is an Atc with various different stamps.

[tobysmum]

great cards everyone and, Caz, thanks for the tutorials, they will be used lots, especially once my Prismas arrive!!!

[butterbee]

Kevin - thank you so much for my stamped images - they are lovely :wub: - your went in the post yesterday.

[floydypops]

Caz , I had a look at the Panduro stamps, they are lovely but I resisted as I really don't need another obsession :lol:

[maddiejane]

i have a couple of sets of the panduro (a xmas pressie from someone) & they are so-o cute

[floydypops]

:stop: I will end up ordering Panduro's !!!

mind you they are cute , and even Tilda needs a rest sometimes :huh:

[maddiejane]

hehe sorry :lol:

Here is my ATC (http://maddiescreations.blogspot.com/2008/05/tilda-friends-atc-bugs.html)this week. I really should do something with these ATCs i am getting but like everything else it taking me forever to get motivated to do so!!

[floydypops]

Lovely ATC Maddie, the brads are so sweet :wub:

[CraftyCaz]

Lovely ATC Maddie..I have left a comment on your blog.

Here (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/another-magnolia-card-creation.html) is a card I made last night with my new Tilda with rope.

[tobysmum]

Lovely card Caz. Just wondering, now I have my Prismas, what colour do you use for the skin and cheeck colour?

[maddiejane]

makes note to self:- must mention prismas again to my hubby!

[CraftyCaz]

Lovely card Caz. Just wondering, now I have my Prismas, what colour do you use for the skin and cheeck colour?

I use PC927 Light Peach for the face and add a little PC928 Blush Pink to the hairline and chin...and a little to the cheek with PC924 Crimson Red...with the red, only a a little circle very lightly and blend...and then add more if needed depending on how rosey you want the cheeks.
HTH

[SamG]

Caz, that Tilda with rope card is soooo cute!!!

I just wondered if anyone would be kind enough to stamp me a pregnant Tilda image please? I'm happy to do a swop, although I don't have that many Tildas. My friend has just told me she is expecting and I didn't really want to buy the stamp just for one card.

If I'm being too cheeky, just ignore me!! :D
Thanks

[Pink Chocolate]

i dont have a pregnant tilda hun as i thought it looked a bit wierd what with a child eing pregnant but i do have a pregnant bella

[SamG]

Dawn - the pregnant Bella would be great hun, I'll PM you a list of the stamps I've got and you can let me know which one you want in return. Thanks. :) xx

[CraftyCaz]

I have pregnant Tilda....
Caz

[SamG]

Now isn't that typical?! its probably not worth offering any of my images to you is it Caz? How many Tildas do you have?? :)

[CraftyCaz]

Uhhhhmmmm...ok, don't ask how many but if you PM me your details I can send you a few....are there any others that you would like?
Caz

[SamG]

Thats so kind Caz, thanks. :D :wub:
Have you got any of the new ones? I have a little boy but only have the pirate boy, fishing edwin and carpenter edwin, so any boy ones would be great, if you don't mind.

Hi

Many thanks for the links.
Do the stamps in the kits come with eazi mount on them?
Many thanks
Carol

[maddiejane]

Do you mean the stamp club stamps hun? If so then no they come unmounted

[CraftyCaz]

Have made a card HERE (http://aloadofoldblogocks.blogspot.com/2008/05/shabby-chic-magnolia-card.html). I am trying to make more background/scenes with my Magnolia's...think I need more practice to be as good as Kim and some of you other talented ladies.

[cadge]

Hi

YES - thanks for the hasty reply!!

Mmmmm......have some eazi mount somewhere - or do you not bother ti eazi mount them - sorry - lots of questions!!!!

Thanks
Carol

[maddiejane]

I haven't mounted my Spring stamps yet. Haven't had time to do it but hopefuully will this week as the ez mount makes the stamps so much easier to use than without . jmo though

[TwinTrouble]

I'm opposite to you Maddiejane... I prefer to use my stamps without EzMount and also find I can store more in the CD Cases I'm using storage!

I am now the proud owner of 3 Magnolia's:wub: Thanks to MaggieMae, don't worry they will be treated with the very best of care:)

Does anyone know the best place for buying the Magnolia's please as there are a few of the accessories I wouldn't mind buying like the wall which will be great for boys cards:wub:

Nearly forgot to say... fantastic cards everyone, so much inspiration:wub:

[joanold]

I'm the opposite. I find them easier to use without the ez mount. I can 'feel' what the stamp is doing. I just stick them to the block with pritt stick. I've unmounted the ones i got from the auction site as they're easier to store, too. they don't take up so much space.

[Teaghen]

I much prefer mine on EZ mount, I have mounted all my spring stamp club ones, I just feel I get a better image than when I use them unmounted, funny how we are all different :D

[kevie192]

Erika I buy direct from Magnolia... I find they're quite speedy and normally have everything in stock :D

Kevin x

[maddiejane]

yep i agree with kevin. My order from magnolia direct came within about 4 days. They'll have every stamp aswell of course, unlike most other places.

Are the individual stamps as cheap as the sets too? Just thinking maybe i'll get more for my pennies:lol:

[faeryscrapper]

Another vote for using EZ Mount - they definitely stamp better with it!

[angeljakki]

a definate vote for no ezi mount why waste the money it doesn't do anything. If it is an extra large stamp then just use a stamping pad under the paper. Perfect stamp every time.
Sir stamp alot and silly monkey are sponsors on the site that sell magnolias and offer a brilliant service have bought from both before.

Thanks all I've been searching your blogs and wow thanks for the inspiration!!
I have tried leaving comments but not sure why I can't ..... so brilliant and thanks for the inspiration!!

Wonderful cards, Sarah.

I'm getting to grips with my new Prismas, too. I've got a tin of 132 but have only sharpened about a dozen of them so far! Is it possible to get a good point on them? As soon as I sharpen them just a little bit more than bluntish, they break.

I think a make-up sharpener was mentioned as a good one for Prisma's:wub:

I need a new one of those. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
