Magnolia Tilda Image Easel Card!

Click any photo to enlarge!Hello everyone! Here is another easel card I made. Terry sent this Magnolia image and some other images, pattern paper, embellisments and a handmade card to me in March. Terry has been following my blog and she is one of the sweetest bloggers out here and she makes some gorgeous cards. Thank you so much again, Terry. I really love this image I had to make a card with it. The top photo is how the Easel card looks when it is opened.
I colored Tilda in with my Bic Mark it permanent markers. I don't have any Copic markers. I added some foamie stars, red ribbon, some gems and pop dot to give it some dimension. I cut the oval out with Plantin SchoolBook, USA and yellow stars was cut out with Stand and Salute Cartridge. I pen stitched USA with a white gelly roll pen. The pattern paper is DCWV " The Christmas Stack" is a piece of scrap paper left over from Christmas cards. This is the front of card and how it looks when it is closed. The top photo.
1)To make this size easel card cut cardstock 4 1/4 x 11 inches. This will be the base of the card.
2) Score at 2 3/4 inches and 5 1/2 inches,then fold.
3) This will be the front of card. Cut cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches, so when it is closed it will line up. This is a close up of bottom of card.
I hope you all like my easel card. Have a wonderful week:)

Flower galore!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you all. Here is some flowers I made with the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom. I was at AC Moore this week end I seen it so I bought it. I payed $5.49 plus tax. I wanted to try it out. Very easy to use. I love it! I seen this on the CuttleBug Challenge Blogspot. Here is the link if you want to check it out!
This is the first flower I made I used ribbon. I like the ribbon one because I can make hair bows for my daughter, ribbon flower to tie to my flip flops or I can add a pin and wear it on my shirt.
For this flower I used Crepe Streamer and Natural Raffia. I might add the small red one to a card and the bigger red one to a handmade gift box.
This flower was made with beading cord. You can use ribbon, yarn, crepe streamer, cording and gift wrapping raffia. With this loom I can make flowers,Tube Scarves & much more. Which flower do you like? Leave a comment let me know.
I hope you all like my flowers. Maybe I will do a video on how to make the Flower on Loom next post! Have a good day all. Thank you for looking at my flowers!
