Magnolia, Tilda Time – I’m Blessed that you are my friend…

November 5, 2010August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks43 Comments

Native American Tilda is so perfect for this time of year. You can find her at Tilda’s Town.com, HERE. I used her to make a Front Panel step card of some call it a Center Step Card.

I’ve been thinking about this card all week and finally figured out how to cut and fold it with only a couple mess-ups! I was able to remedy one, because I cut too far, by adding mats on the inside…

Cards that stand up are so fun! I used a 5.5 x 11 inch piece of card-stock… it’s a type of stair step… diagram below (minus the wrong cuts) lol … I think 6 x 12 inch card-stock would work great too. I used Kraftin Kimmie’s Thankful Sentiment set. Love these sets! The pattern paper is Max and Whispers from Basic Grey. I’m linking my card to the Copic Creations Challenge Blog…use brown and create a scene!

Here it is from the side…

Happy Magnolia stamping! ♥

Today the All That Scraps design team is reviewing the October release Sweet November Christmas Baby stamps from CC Designs, HERE. So cute! Love how the artist Amy Young added the snowman pocket on this Stocking Girl! She is stamped on Paper Trey Ink card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Hair – E31, 34, 57, 59, Skin – E000, 00, 01, 21, R20 (diluted), Dress – R24 and E07. Just wouldn’t be a finished card without a sentiment! I used the Merry and Bright sentiment set, HERE, again… love it!

The holly vine is a Sizzix die #656293 (remember the pumpkin vine? here? lol) red brads for the holly berries. I used the EK Success med. heart punch and a Marvy snowman punch for the chipboard looking embellishments. Punched four pieces, glued them together and colored. I used a Japanese screw punch to get the button holes in the snowman. I used the new Martha Stewart holly edge punch too.

The paper is Basic Grey Jovial… I used the 12×12 paper collection but the 6×6 pad is available HERE.

I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers, HERE. It’s a great challenge blog! Thanks to the DT there!

I’m also linking to the Creative Card Crew Challenge blog, HERE with the theme of “Let’s Punch It”. My snowman, heart, and holly borders are made with punches!
