Birthday Wish!

Hello! Happy Sunday............... thanks for stopping by today! Today I am here with a copic colored Magnolia card. It has been a very long time since I got my copics out and spent some time coloring. But, I will ad that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The DSP is Basic Grey and layered on Stampin Up cardstock. The border punch is one that I have had for years, it is a fiskars (dark blue) one and I found it in the bottom of my punch drawer. Gotta love when I find something I have not used in so long, makes me feel like I just got something new!

Have a great day!

Snowflakes and Butterflies

Smile! That is what I do whenever I look at this card. The face on this little snowman just makes me feel good. It is a magnolia that I think I got last year- not a whole lot of coloring either but I did want to match him up with some papers/color other than traditional christmas colors. What do you think? Does he look happy or what............ but still wintery. :)

Merry Christmas

Even though I am pretty much done with Christmas cards I still had this stamp that my SCS friend Jackie sent to me last year so I wanted to ink her up. The DSP is a stack of K&Co that I bought on clearance last year. I love the deep red/marron and the olive.

I thought it would be nice to decorate the inside of the card as well- keeping is simple but coordinating it with the front. Now I can just write in my message and send it off to that someone special.

Stamp: Magnolia Tilda

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Skating Fun

Oh I just know the cold weather and the snow are going to be coming soon! I can wait, as long as the good Lord wants to spare us the snow. But I had to pull out this little stamps, it has to be one of my most favorite ones from all my Magnolia's. I just love Edwin and Tilda together- so innocent.

I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with coordinating colors to match the Basic Grey paper. The image is cut out with the nestabity and then I left it on and sponged inside the edges- I just like how it lightens the image up. The punch is a MS punch of a little village. The little paperclip I then strung a couple strings of beads off of it and tied a bow on it. I am honestly very thrilled with this card and told my husband it might never go in the mail. I used some glimmer mist on the red snowflake as well which you can't really tell. I am submitting this for the Friday Sketch Challenge.

I know that Tab has this image over at 7kids so if you like it- get it now. She is also doing orders for High Hopes which is another company that makes some really sweet images. You can check out the HH store and then order from TAB (quick and easy).

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Edwin's Day!

Hello everyone!

Today's card is one that I colored a couple of weeks ago when I was working on some shading and I thought I better use it before the end of summer or at least the feeling of summer is gone. I had used alot of earth tones so I went to my basic greys and found this paper which I thought looked earthy and masculine. I also got to use my newest nestabilities as well! I love it. I know that Kelly still has a few of these Magnolia stamps left so don't miss out on getting him.

Kelly also has brand new Basic Grey stamps coming in HERE.
She is also pre-ordering High Hopes and there are only a few stores ordering Here
Also, Kelly will be doing a DT call soon- so watch if you are interested!

Stamp: Magnolia Edwin on bike
Ink: Momento Black tuxedo, copics

Adventurous Edwin

Ok, Ok.......... it is like midnight and I just finished this card. I thought this Edwin on the bike was so natural, so all American and perfect for any little boy card. So I settled in to make this card, it is all American right? Red, white, blue and well- I guess a splash of green! Ok, I am not done there......... in my mind I envisioned Edwin in the bathing ring, so here is another take using this same stamp!

So I am kind of excited as I used two of the Magnolia stamps. I took the Edwin riding a bike and then of course the bathing ring and put them together. It is not perfect- but I will perfect it but I think that it turned out really cute. I was disappointed that they didn't make an edwin to go in the tube- so I had to make my own. I really wanted to show the versatility of some of these stamps because although Tilda is the sweetest, I have boys- so I am partial to Edwin.

So- not only can you get the Magnolia stamps at a discount at KLSNS but guess what else is new over there?

A time to Give Thanks

This sweet Tilda is preparing for fall and getting ready to give thanks. I had to ink her up because I had this beautiful fall/sunflower paper and I thought these colors are just exceptional. As far as a season of colors I truly just love fall especially here in Michigan. I colored Tilda with my copic markers. I then took my Martha Stewart branch punch and filled her hands with the 3D branches. I just love how it looks in person. Not sure if you can see all the branches in 3D or not. I have entered this for the Stamp Something Challenge using one of my fav embellishments and that is punch outs and ribbon.

I apologize for not posting on Monday and today being short but it is a busy week here and I am just trying to get by. Plus my hubby took the little dodad to upload my pics so I don't have any of my newest ones to upload- I will try to get it from him tonight!

NEW Magnolia Collection at KLSNS

Today is another wonderful Sunday............ and I am excited to show you all this fun little project that I spent a good part of Friday evening working on. I have been telling myself I need to make something "other than a card!" Of course there are wonderful ideas out there and so I chose this one to present today!
This little image is one from the new Magnolia line "A Little Yummy for your Tummy"called Baking Tilda. I am just loving her and my first project for this was this little accordian folder.

I know there are a few different tutorials on this and I got mine from Val's blog. I was thinking that this will make the sweetest little dessert or cookie file folder and a great little gift to maybe someone just starting out. Don't you think? One thing I will say is be sure your envelopes are NOT the privacy ones. I also decorated the end of my tab so I had it come through from the backside so that you can see it. I just like the look a little better.

For those of you that are bakers- this little Magnolia has to be a MUST in your collections. And you can find them now on pre-order over at KLSNS right now- where you always get 10% off on Magnolia's. Plus you can save $5 on all orders of $30 with code SAVE5.

Heidi

Best for You!

Well fall is certainly in the air here in Michigan even though we are having a wonderful holiday weekend (a last taste of summer, which isn't very long here anyways!). So I got this sweet little Jam Tilda from the fall kit from a friend of mine and I had to ink her up. I added a pumpkin to give it the warmth. As many of you know I am not a huge halloweener, even my kids could care less about it ............. so the sentiment is a little different because I really wanted to be able to 'use' this card (since I do not send out halloween cards). Anyways- the sentiment is from two different Stampin Up sets that I pieced together. But I think it will work. So I am entering this in the Stamp Something Challenge: had to use a favorite stamp and punch.....the punch is the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo and if you can't find it- you can get it here.

The new Magnolia collection is available for pre-order over at KLSNS.

Friends

This card is one I worked on over the weekend for the Friday Sketchers Challenge. Claudia has put togther this beautiful sketch and I was really excited to work with it. The image is Tilda with her kitten and I used my neutral copics to get the job done. I was able to match most of them up with the Cosmo Cricket papers that I chose. I am bummed b/c I used my airbrush to highlight around Tilda but when I took the photo you can not see the color at ALL! I think that maybe I need to use a darker brown in the future. The circle around the friends sentiment is a circular plastic frame that I wrapped the ribbon around- so that it matched the ribbon on the card. The buttons I just got, are they not awesome colors? i was looking and needing fall colored buttons and this matches so well with my papers that I was so excited. So- here is my card to match this sketch......... so if you are lost for ideas- give this one a try this week!

I hope you all have a fabulous week and see you back here tomorrow! I have really been hopping on the challenges this week!

Oldie but Goodie!

Hey all- Happy Tuesday! Busy day here at the Steinhebel household, some appointments, work......... and then some special tasks to do this evening. I will share photos of what I am doing next week- I have to keep it under raps for now.

But I pulled out one of my older Tilda images this week. You know you build up all those new Magnolia's (or whatever your vice is) and then you don't use the older ones- I love this one. So I am submitting this one for the Friday Sketcher Challenge. The image is Magnolia Spring Collection Tilda with bird. which you can still get over at 7kids! I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah paper and colored her with my copics to match the Basic Grey Lime Rickey. For the flower I punched out a piece of the paper with my circle punch and covered with epoxy sticker. I do love this sketch and will use it again!

Thanks for stopping in! Heidi

Edwin on Display

Happy Sunday!

This project is kind of an "off spring" of the project I did earlier this week. I wanted to do something more than a card and I am behind on scrapbooking and thought this little album would be perfect for on the coffee table or any display. It will hold 3 nice size pictures in the middle and then you can add some journaling on the tag that I have that fits into the pocket on the right- plus you could add a photo above it. I also made that a pocket behind Edwin as well.

The image of course is Chasing Edwin from the Catching Butterflies Magnolia Collection and these stamps are on sale over at KLSNS right now for up to 35% off. This is a great way to build up your collection AND Kelly has a special on shipping as well. I hope you'll take advantage of it!

This is a picture of the outside of the album- it can be closed and stringed shut for safe keeping or travel.

I thought I would also show you some close up of the other pages that I made. I did keep them simple and used Basic Gray Two Sccops paper on them. The little birdie is also a magnolia stamp that someone stamped for me- and I thought it would fit the theme.

Basics for making the album:

2 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock

Score both at 4 inches and slide them together so that the inside measures 8in wide AND the outsides match up: adhere in that position. Embellish the outside as you like.

Then you will cut 3 coordinating cardstocks for the base of your album pages:

7 3/4 x 5 38

7 3/4 x 6 6/8

7 3/4 x 8 1/2

Each of them should be scored 1 in from the top and attached together (I used the large white SU eyelets). This will allow each page to fold upwards to view the next page. Embellish the pages and either side as you like.

You could make the same type of album pages for either side but just be careful how bulky this becomes.

I hope this helps and have a splendid day!

Heidi

Its been a long time.......... friend

Oh my I just finally got my Magnolia Lion from 7kidscollegefund and is he not the sweetest, that face makes me just want to rough him up. I went so far as to tell my husband I want a lion to keep and then once a week we could give him a little "groggy" pill so I can go in and play with him, snuggly and of course take pictures. Hubby thought that would be a little far fetched and might actually be exploiting the poor guy! Ha! We really do talk about other things........ it was a silly moment I guess.

So the image is stamped on Neenah paper with memento tuxedo black ink- which if I have said it once you MUST try it. I then colored with my copics. Oh and the little jungle sign is also a Magnolia and you could put little words on it as well- I opted to leave it blank this time. The little stems are made with the MS punch.

And don't forget if you order this week at 7kids you are automatically entered in a drawing for gift certificate. Check out the blog and see if you win!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Summer Butterfly

Today's card is made using one of my Edwin stamps BUT it is also showcasing one of my new Penny black clear stamps called Enjoy Life. I got this at ABC Toys and Crafts because I thought it would go wonderfully with many of the Magnolia stamps- so ladies, this is another brand that goes well with them. Julie also has a couple other sets Thinking of You and Teddy & Co (the tree is perfect!).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo black on Neenah cardstock and then of course colored him with my copics. The swirl is chipboard that I used a stamp pad to color. The little acrylic tag I got from a show I went to last year and I just stamped Be Happy on it with stazon.

Oh OH- ABC Toys and Crafts has a BUNCH of new Martha Stewart punches.......... you better get them fast b/c they always sell out so fast- Julie has been very busy filling orders!
Heidi

Smooches!

I am really struggling with my camera this week.......... just can't get it to give me a good quality photo today and unfortunately I need to get these posted so I apologize up front but I do think that you can get a good idea of what they are looking like. I think they are so cute. First the little holder is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4: scored at 2.5 and then 3 inches. The front is embossed with the cuttlebug folders of course- I only did the front portion of the folder to make them pop!

I stamped the Magnolia with Ladybug images and colored them with the copics- then just used a portion of the image to mount on the front. These are going to some special little girls- to not be named in case their mother is looking! They hold a little lipgloss as you can see down below.

Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday!

Stamp: Tilda with ladybug @ KLSNS

Copics, cuttlebug folders ( paisley, swiss dots, hearts)

Bling and Glitter

This card in person has lots of shimmer and bling! This is a Magnolia Tilda card and it is an image that was out last summer I beleive and this little gal is too cute- the perfect pose for waiting for somthing or thinking of something- hence the sentiment "Just sitting her thinking of you"

I stamped Tilda and the fence with memento tuxedo and then colored her in with my copic reds, browns and greens. For her wings- as you can see here I added some beautiful stickles to make them shimmer and that they do!

The flowers are light pink prima's that I then took some Shimmerz and put on them to give them some sparkle and they look awesome! Of course I finished off the bottom with a cute little heart punch (and here I thought I could only use it at Valentine's Day!).

Stamps: Magnolia @ 7kidscollegefund

Accessories: Primas, Shimmerz, stickles and Martha Stewart Punchs

Colors: Memento ink, copics @ 7kids

Paper: Neenah

Dear Friend

Happy 4th of July Weekend dear friend!

Today's card is made with a Magnolia stamp that Kelly sent me from KLSNS but you know, I have no idea what her name is! Kelly does not have her in the store now but she does have the new Magnolia PET collection on pre-order so don't forget to get yours ordered today! As always she has them on sale. I colored her with all my brand new brown copic markers because I feel like those E colors are the most I have and so i wanted to give em all a try. I think that I used at least 7 of them! The designer paper is Basic Grey Porcelain! I used some bare chipboard swirls and I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist- I am soooooo loving using that!

Well off for some more yard work! I know it is the holiday but it still has to be done............ whats a girl to do, stamp all the time??? Wanted to remind you of some specials and "upcomings" over at KLStampinNScrapping:

Happy Sunday all!
It has been a busy weekend here at my house and so I set out to work on this card for display to you today trying to focus on color and summertime. Of course this is Tilda with her little ladybug friend that I got from Kelly over at KLSNS awhile ago. I know Kelly still has this one if you missed out and I just love her, isn't that little outfit the cutest. I am still trying to find the perfect gouloshes for myself! LOL!
The designer paper is from K&Co Berry Sweet Pack and I coordinated it perfectly with SU kiwi and baha. The color in this picture does not give you a good look at that but it truly is beautiful together. The grosgrain is SU as well. Here is a close up of her dress that I colored with my copic markers. Oh and there are a few things I want to remind you of too!
