Gilli goes Green

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to the newest Gilli challenge.  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Gilli inspiration project for today.  In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we would like you to use something Green on your project!  Pretty simple right?  Oh there are so many different ways you can incorporate green into your project.

My project features Jeans Gilli getting ready for spring!  While there is still a lot of snow on the ground here in Michigan, I am dreaming of springtime.  So I thought this would be the perfect project to bring a little spring time cheer.
Hop on over to my Blog if you are interested in more details about this lovely project.  But don’t forget to enter your GREEN project below for a chance to win a GREAT GILLI GOODIE!!  I can’t wait to see what you create!

Hugs, Wini

Gilli's Ready for a Party!!!

Hi!  Have you seen all the lovely Gilli cards with swirls, pearls and lace?!  Come and join us and you will get a chance to win a Gilli goodie!!!  I've colored Balloon Gilli with Copics and added a bit of lace to her dress (which I also colored with Copics).  I added some little tiny pearls to the neckline of her dress, and then I added some glitter to the swirls on the paper.  Here's a look at my card:

Balloon Gilli is a pleasure to color, and I was easily able to cut around the image.  Can't wait to see lots of swirl, pearl and lace cards!!!  Thanks for stopping by, Ann  :)

Pearls, Swirls & Lace... so heavenly....

Hi everyone... Tina again!!  Hope you are enjoying the challenges because we have yet another and I have to say... what girlie girl can avoid pearls and swirls and lace??? Not me!!

Today I used Gilli Angel for my card.. I LOVE coloring her with all her folds and long hair and those fabulous wings!! I suspect if I didn't control myself she'd be done in EVERY Copic color I have (umm yeah.. that's ALL of them! Hee Hee).

I did use one of the newest Copic colors on my angel.. BG57, Jasper... it's the darkest one on her dress.  I soooo love it!! I can't wait to use all the new colors they are so yummy!!

I used my Cuttlebug Polka Dots embossing folder on my card base before I punched the border.  My image was colored and cut out and mounted with Pop Dots to add more dimension.  The inside of my card also has a white layer which I punched to match the outside of my card cover and add a bit more layering to the card.  I used my Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2 to stamp my sentiment on and then sponged on some pink Memento ink before removing the die.

I can't wait to see all the awesome pearls, swirls and lace cards you create!!  Have a great day and thanks for looking!  *HUGS

Pearls, Swirls and Lace OH My!

Hello Everyone,

Jo here today. Wow can you believe Valentine’s Day has come and went. Did you have any special plans? Dinner with your sweetie maybe? How about getting a box of Chocolates?

My card today is using Gilli Classy. She is all dress up ready to go to a nice belated Valentines dinner and a show afterwards. She has her new outfit on today. It is a gray-purple color. She liked the look of the clean lines with that hint of purple.

I have used my new Cherry Lynn Doily die. The swirl is cut using my Slice.

I added a few ivory pearls and ivory seam binding. Also added a glitter heart from Making Memories. I have made this as a mini card that could be attached to a box of candy or a bottle of bubbly for that someone special on Valentine’s Day or birthday.

I hope you will join in on our Pearl, Swirls and Lace challenge . We can’t wait to see what you might have in store for our viewing pleasure.

Pearls, Swirls and Lace Challenge

House of Gilli, has a brand new challenge for you and it's Pearls, Swirls and Lace. Hope you will stop by and join in. The entries from our "Love" challenge were all so wonderful :)

I thought this was the perfect challenge to create a Wedding card with all the pearls, swirls and lace to compliment Sitting Bride Gilli. She is colored with Copics and I used E42/E41/E40 to make her look vintage. I distressed my paper edges with the Distrezz It All by Zutter, I so love this little machine hehe. You can enter your card/project below with inlinkz, hope you will get the chance to join in. Make sure to stop by every so often to see the beautiful inspirations from our DT.

Lovely Maiden....

Hi Everyone... Tina here!!  I sooo love "LOVE day"! Hee Hee  I could color with pinks and reds every day!!  Today I am sharing Renaissance Gilli with you.  I just adore her long hair and braids!

I colored her with my Copic markers and used my Oval Nestabilities to cut her out and added the Lacy Ovals under it.  I used the DP from Echo Parks Be Mine collection.

A little swirl of pearls and some wrinkled ribbon and I think this little lady is ready to share her love!

Hope you are joining in on the challenge and who knows... you could end up with this sweet thing in your bag of Gilli goodies!!  :-)  Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

*HUGS*

"Love" Challenge

Happy Thursday everyone. It is so great to see so many wonderful entries, you still have a few more days to enter.

 

I couldn't resist coloring Lady Gilli for this challenge, I used my favorite Copic color combo (R20/R00/R0000). I used Spellbinders Classic Circles and Heart Circles and some pearls scattered around for embellishments.

Hope you will join in on our Love challenge, you can enter below.

Lady Gilli is feeling the love

Andrea here today sharing my challenge card for our current theme- Love. 

I inked up the ever so sophisticated Lady Gilli for my card and used my copics on her hair and skin. I then paper pieced her dress to give her a fun flirty look. I imagined her getting ready to go out for Valentine's Day and wanting that sexy but cute look that I am personally always striving for tee hee!!

What ideas do you have to play along with our current challenge? Come and join us for your chance at a Gilli goody bag!

Cheers- Andi

Love Challenge

Hello Friends,
It is Vivi here, and today is my turn to bring a card for the Love Challenge.

I used Girly Gilli, heart accessory and love sentiment stamps on my card.
I decided to make a heart background so first half of the paper I used  heart accessory stamp and embossed the hearts and the other half I used heart sizzix embossing template.  I think it looks very nice, dont’ you..
I colored my image with copic markers R46, R29, R27, R24, R22, R20 C9, C7, C5, C3,  E11 & E00
I placed my Girly Gilli in a standard circle and heart circles  nesties  and cut the papers using my Grand Calibur.
I hope you like my card and come on over to play with us!!  One lucky winner will receive a surprise pack from Anary!!
Thanks for stopping by today!

The Doctor is In

Hi there all you Gilli fans. It's Jo here today sharing a card with you for The House of Gilli theme of LOVE. What a great theme and will help you get ready making your Valentine’s cards. But first I want to wish Gilli creator and friend anaRy a Very Happy Birthday today.

If you have a Gilli stamp we sure would love to see what you can come up with. If not that’s ok too. We love to see what everyone comes up with for the LOVE challenge.

I have Gilli Doc stamp and started looking at it. anaRy is always encouraging you to work with the stamp make it your own. So I got thinking about my all time favorite cartoon. I am going to guess there a few of you out there that know which one I am talking about. So I thought ok let’s make Gilli a doctor of love. I guess you can say one of the Advise column gals. I paper pieced Gilli’s shirt and colored the rest with copic’s. I omitted her stethoscope. I then built here “Advise” booth. I cut some brown cardstock and embossed with a little alpha stamp set from Studio G. I used toothpicks that I colored with my copics for the booth sides.

I cut a couple of hearts out and ran them through my cuttlebug swiss dots folder for some texture. I hope that my card has inspired you to join in on our challenge this week. Thanks for stopping by today.

PJ Gilli~Feelin' the Love

Hi, I'm having fun breaking out all my heart punches and frills for the Love Challenge!  PJ Gilli always looks so cute, cozy and full of love, so I inked her up and colored her with Copics:

She is darling, don't you think?!  Hope you join us for this challenge, and thanks so much for stopping by! Ann
