Lil Gilli Girly is great in Green!

Andrea here! I had a bit of a creative holiday so it has been awhile since I  have shared one of my Gilli creations. I am happy to say I am back after moving into a new house and ready to play along with our challenges here at House of Gilli!

Wini is our current hostess with the mostest and she has asked us to go Green! I dug out my Lil Gilli Girly to make a sweet 4x4 card to match her cute little size. I coloured her up with my copies to match my papers and kept the embellishments to a minimum for 2 good reasons:

-this lovely card is for a gift bag I am putting together for one of my friends and I wanted the focus to be on the image not the bling

-I still can't find most of my stuff in my new crafting space at the new house LOL!!!!!! My lovely friends helped me unpack and now I just have to figure out where they put it all hee hee!

I hope you get a chance to play along with us as well- we would love to have you join us!

Cheers, Andi

Gilli Valentine Card

Hello! Happy New Year!

Andi here with my entry for the anything goes challenge. I love making Valentine's day cards and here is the first one I have made for the year so far. I used Lil Gilli Girly for my card and coloured her up with my copies. I used some of my MME valentine's day papers and hearts everywhere! I love using pink and red together and wore it frequently as a colour combo when I was younger. I still remember how upset and depressed I was when I was told you couldn't wear those two colours together as they 'clashed'. I think those rules may have gone out the window as I frequently see that colour combo all the time now! I gave Lil Gilli a blue outfit to help the image 'pop' on the card- I hope you like it!

Don't forget there is still lots of time to play along with our ANYTHING GOES challenge so link up to win some yummy Gilli stamps!

Hugs, Andi xo

Eeek- I forgot to share my Gilli card for the recycling challenge!

Andrea here and I can't believe I forgot to share my Gilli card for the recycled challenge- please forgive my addled brain lately lol. 

I had actually made this card up previously for the fall colour challenge but after seeing how it fit in with the recycling challenge it worked perfect here too! I had these leftover card pieces from a different card I had made and coloured up my cute!! Lil Gilli girly stamp. She is so sweet and petite! I also re-used the button on my card from another craft that I was tossing out. Can't throw away a perfectly good button!

I hope you had fun playing along with the recycling challenge and are now crafting to play along with our current Monochromatic challenge. 

happy crafting everyone! Hugs...Andi

Embossed Gilli

I had so much fun coloring the Newest Addition to the Gilli Line!  This adorable “House” stamp is brand new for Gilli’s Birthday! 

I paired Gilli’s new House with ‘Lil Duty Gilli.  These ‘Lil Gilli’s are perfect to pair with the new House stamp!

I love embossing and used my Candy Cane Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the background of my card.  It is so quick and easy.  I can’t wait to see what you make for our embossing challenge.  Be sure to enter your project in the Inlinkz below for your chance to win a Gilli Goodie!

Don’t forget about Gilli’s Birthday Celebration all week long!  Be sure to follow along on the hop and leave comments on every designers blog for your chance to win some GREAT Gilli prizes!!!  And join us tomorrow night, Tuesday 9/20/11 for a LIVE chat  over at the Color me Creative site!  How fun!!

Hugs, Wini
