Happy Maggie Monday!

It has been a while since I posted a Maggie.  It felt really good to dig these little cuties and play a bit. 
This is a really quick card today…less than 10 minutes to make it (that is after I had her colored).


Not everything we make needs to be a masterpiece. At least that is what I keep telling myself, as I tend to stress about how things looks sometimes.

Tulle Skirt Tilda

For this card I combined two paper packets…Magnifique and topstitch. I like how they go together. One of the other things I did was to take my opaques pearls and color them with my Copic marker RV11 to match. Since I bought my copics I tend to buy more white or cream embellishments and color them to match whatever I am working on. This saves a lot of money when you don’t need something in every color!

Maggie Card Kit

A while ago I participated in a Magnolia Kit swap. This is where each participant made up “kits” containing some colored cardstock, patterned papers, some embellishments and at least one stamped Magnolia Image. We made up 6 of the same kits and swapped them for 5 different ones and the hostess gets to keep one kit for the time and effort it takes to bring the swap all together…believe me it is worth more than one kit to do this…thanks Audrey Benno our hostess!

This card is made up from a kit from Elaine Atterbury. It came with way more embellishments than I placed on my card and two patterned papers that I just couldn’t make work with the card I had in mind. I will place the remaining items on other cards that I create later on.

I also used the Atyou Spica pens. These are really pretty in person. You get a very fine glitter where you put them without the thickness of glitter glue. It is about as thick as ball point pen ink. Great for very fine areas. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it for the end result in my opinion.



Copics used are:
Skin: E000, E01, E02, R20
Hair: E31, E35, E25, E27
Hair Bow: R37 and Red Spica
Dress and Socks: G40, G82
Candy Canes: R000, R29
Bow on Present: R000, R02
Present: G85 and Gold Spica
Pinafore and Shoes: W00

I also used the Petite Oval Small and Scalloped Large
Christmas Party Tilda by Magnolia is the Image.

Seasons Greeting from Edwin

Another Maggie Christmas card made!  This little cutie is Santa Edwin.  He is reading over his naughty list.  I hope I am not on there…ha-ha.  I used the Mistletoe striped paper but I wanted to add some glitter to it so…I took my quickie mini glue pen and traced over the red lines and sprinkled some micro fine glitter on there.  Then shook of the excess glitter and replaced it back in my jar.  The end results in some homemade glitter paper.  I also added some Polar white diamond flower soft for the fur trim on Santa Edwin.

A Maggie Challenge

I was so excited when I participated in a Kit Swap through the Magnolia Group and received this little cutie…I can Fly Tilda from Karyn Nale. (Thanks so much Karyn for the kit!)   It is one image that I do not own so I had lots of fun coloring her up.  In the kit from Karyn came the papers that I used as well, except for the desert Sand and Colonial White cardstock.  I also added the crochet flower and the little flower bud. 

I am also participating in the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS Pink and Yellow CHALLENGE.  You can see that here   I have never participated in a challenge before so this was extra fun. The only stipulation was that I had to use pink and yellow. So here is my card.


Copics used are:

Take Time to Smell the Flowers

 It is time for another edition of Maggie Mondays. 

I really liked the way this little cutie turned out.  Her hair was a little tricky to get the right shadows in it but I am really happy with the coloring on her.  I also colored her to match the Caboodle papers from Close To My Heart.  That is a great thing about the copic markers; you can match them to almost any papers.  I also used my R22 Copic to color the white pearls to match.  And I used my newest punch from Martha Stewart…the linked trim.  When I seen this one in the store I immediately knew I was going to weave a strip  paper through it. 

Here is the inside of the card.

Born to Shop!

 Welcome to Maggie Monday!  This Monday I have made an easel card.  These are quite fun to make and they sit nice on the shelve for display.  I used the Tilda Goes shopping stamp from Magnolia.  I also used LOTS of pearls on this card. 

Here is a close up of the bottom half of the card.  It says "little moments make life great".  I also used my Copic Air Brush system.  I have had this for ages and only used it a few times, so I thought I would use it on here to give the half circles some color.

It's A Beautiful Day

 Welcome back to another edition of Maggie Monday. 

This little cutie is called Flower Girl with Petals #3040 from Magnolia.  She can be used on a variety of cards not just wedding cards.   One of the things I did was used my Liquid glass as a paint.  I squeezed out a small amount onto some wax paper and picked up some on a fine paint brush and painted her shoes after I colored them.  It is hard to see in the photo, but they have a real nice shine to them.  They look like satin shoes.  I also took the guard off my corner rounder to make the scalloped edge on the paper mat.  This is not hard to do, just turn the corner rounder upside down so you can see where you are punching and line up the edge of the paper in to corner rounder.  It is easier to do than to describe how to do it.  Trust me.  LOL

Another Maggie Monday

 How adorable is this cutie!  It is from Magnolia Stamps called Snowman with bells.  It was a little challenging to color as white is hard to replicate (is that a word?) I knew that I was going to use the Aspen papers so I colored the snowman with a blue tinge.  I hope you like it as much as I do. 

The inside was left rather simple.

Too Cute To Spook!

Welcome back to Maggie Mondays.  Isn't she adorable.  The more I get to play with these little girls and boys the more I love them.  They are irresistible! 
This one is Sitting Witch Tilda.  The glass flowers came from my local Michael's store.  The were in the bridal section.  I also didn't have any sunset cardstock that I wanted to use so I took my sunset ink pad and rubbed it in circles all over white cardstock to make my own custom paper.  It also has texture to is as some areas are darker than others.  A fun way to make do with what you have.

Maggie Monday!

Welcome back to another Maggie Monday.  I do have a confession to make...I have been so busy this summer, going on two holidays, having a seasonal campsite out at the lake and with scrapbooking (yes, I do go in spurts) I haven't made too many Maggie cards.  But I have been coloring them!  I do have quite a few images colored in and will sit down one of these days to make them into cards.  So I just wanted you to know that Maggie Mondays will be back in the fall, just be patient.  These are too addictive not to color them!  Also I will be teaching a Copic Marker Class in October.  Stayed tuned for details.
