Friends - Gemini Zodiac

Hello my dear fellows ..
Today I would love to share about my fun coloring time few days ago, It was so much exciting when I've got some of Zodiac collection from Magnolia and it likes got some toys yay!! .. he he

Before I'll go with my own Zodiac (Big Thanks to Magnolia, they allowed me to have my sign and also my mother sign too !) I picked the Gemini .. I am happy to say that this image could fit in all occasion not just for birthday event .. they could use for friendship, prompt celebration, tweenies anniversary and so on ..

But no card yet for today .. ho ho don't be disappointed :)

I will show you to create a shabby chic flowers motif on Tilda's dress ..
here it is,

Before I go with the coloring, first I would love to share about the new ink pad that I used. That was a dye ink from Simon Says Stamp and I found it have no smear with my water coloring, I stamped on Bockingford water color paper that has a rough surface and it works good! will think to take a chance with smooth surface later soon.

Okay, for the coloring .. as usual I love to paint with distress ink refill that was also I did for my image, except .. the peachy flower on the dresses and grass flower.

Nothing special on my way when I painted, just on this case I took a bit of color direct from the gelatos and paint on the image, clean my brush and blending it out, just it.

I had so much fun to do this, because whenever I saw Tilda using a dress with plain fabric I really want she use some patterned fabric or may be one day she will using Batik :)

You also can use paper piecing technique but for me .. this way I choose because I am not good with the fussy cutting LoL ..

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”

Okay .. That's all for today and I try to come back here soon!

Thanks for visiting me and see ya!!!

Dear teachers ...

Hi!

It's nice to see you again my lovely readers ..

Today posting is about thankful :)

I got some new stamps from Magnolia and of course their latest release - Zodiac collection is too cute .. I took a Capricorn and coloring him for a few pieces.

Then I thought .. I choose the Capricorn but I don't want to make any birthday theme with them on this March .. :D nah, what should I make then ??

Finally I got a word knocked on my head .. 

so, I made a set little gifts for teacher ..

Here I show you one by one of my set,

First, a little cookies wrap!

it's easy to do, just take a paper with  6" x 8.5" , score at the 4", 8" on the long side and score at 0.5" on the short side, dies a circle on the center of one side and make a pocket. using DooHickey Spring Flower Border cut the edge.

I glued a piece of tracing paper on the circle window.

The second one is a chocolate tiny bag :)

Actually it was super fun to do with my old dies called Top Note die from Stampin'Up! but you can use any brand that have similar shape. After I cut the paper then I fold it like the picture show just it!

Next step only decorate it and make a sling on to have a mini purse model. I put the wrapped chocolate ball and I love to use simple sentiment from my old Stampendous stamp.

and the last is a very simple tag with oval shape ..

Teacher never expect anything in return from their students but a little thing given by their student is the most precious gift they ever had .. are you agree ??

you might have a same feeling with me about a person called teacher .., they are like a guiding star that we had sometimes forget .. but they had made us knowing about many things in this world :)

To all teachers in the world, Thank you SO much!!

Hope you will get some inspiration from my work, as you will see all the 12 Zodiacs release in one time but you don't have to wait until the month of each Zodiac to create something :)

Thank you for stopping by and Have a nice day!

Love, Yulis

from some Magnolia images that have butterfly, she is still on my top list. I love love love her at the time she released but I still love her until today and I think I can't forget her with her cutie look.

Tilda with Hawaii flower - Butterfly wishes 2011 

Anyone remember this song ???

Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like it's satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing ...

Here is my card, with those butterflies this card contains lot of best wishes ..

I choose the mid tone of sage and gorgeous paper is Prima marketing.

closer look for the bottom details .. 

flowers are from Thailand, Lace bought on a store here and I always love white seam binding.

I used DooHickey dies from Magnolia - Tilda Lace, Leaf border come from Sizzix.

Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like it's satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies ...

I love this song from Dolly Parton and I would love to share with you, HERE you can hear her beautiful song "Love is Like A Butterfly"

Wish you all the lovely days ahead everyone!

Thank you for stopping by :)

Love,

Yulis

I {heart} you!

Hi ya peeps!!

I have a card for sharing today ..
It's has an unique shape as I made a File Folder card, of course with my own style and my beloved image from Magnolia stamp :)
and by this way I would love to remind you that we at MDUC still run the theme about Hearts and Flowers .. so hop on there and have some fun!

ok, let we start from here ..

I use Tilda with Big Ice cream from With Love 2013
Coloring her with distress ink except her dress .. I use my Carandache water solute crayon because I really want to have a mint color ... oops ..
I am sure my husband will know about my favorite flavor for Ice cream when he saw this and there are 3 kind .. can you guess ? ha ha ha ..

I made the file folder on the edges with my envelope punch board.
I use StampinUp! card stock and EP papers

Because I love the tone of pool party color so, I made everything on the same .. I dyed the ribbon with refil of the ink pad, and I love to play shabby with my white paint :)

Here more closer .. the corner embossed using stampendous chunky white and sprinkle it with pool party embossing powder. Flowers are WOC glittering with stardust.

Hearts on there come from Heidi Swapp masking.
at the moment my card was flying  to its new home hopefully it was arrived as shown by the immigration stamp :D
wish she will like it!

I will try to make another inspiration craft soon, but it's all for today. I thank you so much for your visiting and Have a great day!

Hugs,
Yulis

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Kraft color

I love you to the moon ..... and back!

Hello everyone!!!!!

do you feel the love is in the air ???

yep! we are already in the month that full of cupid around ... LoL

I had some words dancing on my mind ...  they are come suddenly and I cant stop to think about it , when I get my time to sit and playing with my ink I just can't forget that words, so my card today has the title :

I Love you to the moon ... and back!

I have no lots of layers or embellishment today, but I never left my Tilda without some details ..

oh my ... I love this image, long time ago when I saw her colored by my dear friend Irene, my heart has stolen!!  I think I never put her on my blog ... but trust me I have lots of her on my book, agenda .. ha ha ha

I love her soooooo much!!!

even the Valentine card seem so close with the pink, my truly favorite color not pink but .. Blue :D

That's mean .. I put lots of my love on this card :)

I tried to take this picture to show you her Astronaut Helmet, so shiny with glossy accent on it.

and adding silver lining on her astronaut cloth with my new silver metal gel pen.

That word also so perfect .. Fly Me to the Moon is from Winner takes it all.
I  use blue metallic craft wire, and thought I would love to play with that wire again :)

here more ... closer!

oops.. I can't take the real color with my camera as well, IRL that sky was glitter look because on my last blending I put some  pearl powder on it.

Distress ink for the sky are : Stormy sky and Chipped sapphire.

For making a starry night ... I mixed some of my pearl powder with some drops of water and I splatter it on the sky with a brush.

Add some gems some where to make more ... starry.

About the pink .. I will share my pinky one soon, but hopefully .... hopefully ... you will like it as much as I do :)

thank you so much for visiting me today and Have a Lovely day!

xoxo,

Yulis

Box of Love

Hi guys!!

Me again, see you on here :)

Today I wanna show you a thin box envelope that I called Box of Love! and I want to let you know that MDUC still going on with the theme Dies Only so I hope my box will give you an inspiration.

 

Oh I have to tell you that my work today inspired a lot from my dear friend Debbie's art work! you should check her post here, because she has a very beautiful shabby place ever that inspired me.

 .. I wish I could be her neighbor! I will bring this box when she host an afternoon date and will fill it with bags of tea so we can enjoy the afternoon tea together .. LoL

I use several DooHikey dies from Magnolia for decorated my box; they are Mini Doily, Peony petals and Leaves.

I show you details of my work for flowers and leaves bellow,

I took this photo on my yard, so hopefully it is more clearly to see.

First, I cut about 8 layers of tissue papers with the peony petal dies (small size) , spray them with mini mister and coloring the edges with distress ink, drying with heat tool and the curl made by my hand. once the petals dried, they are ready to arrange.
I put distress stickles - Spun Sugar some where on the edges.

oh yes, they were glued with PVA glue.

and these are the leaves :)

they are from Canson multi media paper, cut with DooHickey and after spray with water I color them with distress ink - Forest Moss using an aqua brush from ZIG

Each of the leave twisted with twister when they are still wet and let aside to dry. After they were drying carefully unfold each of the leaves, we will get the texture more than plain die cut.

more textures ....

I glue Magnolia design paper on my box card before decorate, and more steps did on there ..

Paint it with white gesso on some side rarely

Stamp Valentine Script (Magnolia stamp) with Early Espresso ink (Stampin' Up)

Using Heiddi Swapp mask doing a stencils fancy with white paste.

Paint the dried hearts using Distress crackle paint - Picket Fence

Stampendous Fragment - Rose and tied with May art string.

and this is the last,  the box pattern .. 

I made my box with envelope punch board.

and this is the measurement :

paper is 7.25 x 7.25 inches

first steps punch and score at 2.75 inches and the second step punch and score at 3.75 inches

allow with another side until you get like the picture shown. 

I  am so in love with box envelope more than regular one, because it can keep my flowers safe :)

okaaaay .....

that's all and hope you will enjoy my post today (with no images .. LoL)

and Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs and smiles,

Yulis
