Tea Time with Tilda- Ribbon Girl Magnolia DT Creations

Hello Bloggers!

Today is the launch of Ribbon Girl Magnolia Only Challenge.

We would like to see your Magnolia creation with ribbons and/or lace.
This challenge will run for 1 week, and we are offering 2 great prizes:
Store voucher and Love is in the air Magnolia stamp

For my DT creation, I made a tea cozy and a matching tag card
using Joyful Tilda from the Christmas Story Collection.

I used to sew a lot before my son was born (14 years ago).
Now I have a little more free time as he gets older :-)
My goal this year is to make more sewing projects
with my stamping and card making.

I used the January sketch from CLP for my tag card,

and water-colored Tilda with Distress Inks.

Dies used here are Spellbinders, Magnolia DooHickey,

Memory Box and Marianne's dies.

For the image on the tea cozy,
I stamped Tilda on TAP paper, colored it with Copic markers,

then transferred the image onto white cotton fabric.
I sewed it onto another layer of fabric backed with interfacing.

I made a larger oval layer to mat the image, and
added laces and ribbons to make the layout similar to the tag card.

The entire panel can be removed from the cozy for hand washing.

I measured my teapot and drew the pattern for the cozy.
I constructed 12 strips of 4 squares with the top slightly tapered.

The finished tea cozy measures 8" tall, and has a circumference of
16" at the top and 24" at the base. Each quilted square is 2"x2".

I have not quilted for many years, so don't look too closely,
the blocks weren't lined up perfectly, lol.

I wanted the cozy to resemble a flower basket, so I added

several rolled lace and ribbon flowers to the top of the tea cozy.

I completed the basket with a handle.

I had so much fun making this tea cozy, truly enjoyed all the

laces and ribbons I got from The Ribbon Girl

and from my own stash.

The following supplies I used are all available at The Ribbon Girl Shop.

Teapot Charm; Wooden Heart Buttons; Beads- Pearl, Silver & Crystal Assortment;

20mm Baby Blue Cotton Lace; 20mm Dusky Blue Cotton Lace;

8mm Cream Vintage Style Fine Scallop Lace;

Tilda and Edwin Calendar- Marvelous Magnolia DT Creation

Hi Everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia.

We would like to see your creations with Tilda and Edwin together.

I have made an interactive 3D calendar for my DT project.

I meant to create a calendar before the New Year,

but Christmas madness got in the way.

It's still January so I think it's not to late to make one.

Our lovely sponsor is LLC.

This calendar is not specific for 2013.

The month can be changed by turning the scallop disc in

the background to reveal the month in the cutout window.

The date can be changed by turning the dice.

I water-colored all the images with Distress Inks.

The drawers were cut using retired SU match-box dies.
They can be used to store mini post-it-notes, paper clips, etc.
Other dies used are from Spellbinders, Magnolia and Marianne's.
DPs are from Magnolia, Memory Box, and Basic Grey.

I also used the following embellishments, all available at Ribbon Girls.
Pink Tulip Seam Binding; Baby Pink Cherry Blossom;
White Sweetheart Blossom; Pink Sweetheart Blossom;
Pale Peach Cosmo Daisy; Kort & Godt Cream Chrysanth;
8mm Cream Vintage Style Fine Scallop Lace.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I would love it if you would hop over to Marvelous Magnolia

to check out my team mates' gorgeous creations.

Just a reminder that we have a new challenge format

so Magnolia lovers at all levels have a chance to win a top spot.

Hugs,

Katie

Wedding Card- Marvelous Magnolia DT Card

Hi Everyone!

It is time for a new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia.
The Pink Team is hosting this challenge
and the theme is ~
Wedding

We have chosen the wedding theme because
our purple team mate Laney got married
on New Year's Eve
and we would like you to celebrate
this special occasion with us.

Here's the card I made for Laney, it measures 5.5" x 5.5".
I used Stampin'Up! Petal Cone die to cut 2 CS for the card base.
I love this die, I have used it in many of my projects.
The die is actually for a cone-shaped gift box.
The die-cut looks like a heart shape when it's flat.
Other dies are Magnolia DooHickey dies.
