Black + One Other Color!

I chose Classy Gilli to go with my black + one. I colored her with prismacolor pencils and used my Grand Calibur  to cut out the Spellbinders ovals and parisian accents lace and corner pieces.  I then added a bow and a button and the card was complete!  I hope you link up your Gilli black + one card and play along with us!  : )

Lots of Layers and Faux or Real Stitching

Hi Everyone, it’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns.  I am so honored to be hosting this new challenge here on the House of Gilli!  I wanted to try something new for me so I picked Lots of Layers and Faux or Real Stitching.  I hope you have as much fun with this Challenge as I have had.

I wanted to try something new, so I made a cute little needlepoint box (for my stitching) and added layers with the cute blue and yellow needlepoint flowers and a little Gilli Charm.  I love the dimension that the different stiches on the box add also.

I seem to be addicted to Shrinky Dinks lately – they are so much fun!  I love to watch them shrink up and become so small.  I colored Tee Gilli with my Copic markers on Shrinky Dink Plastic. Then used my Grand Calibur and Labels 14 dies to cut her out.  About a minute in my toaster oven and I have this cute little Gilli Charm.  A few beads and I have a little embellishment to add another layer to my box.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for our challenge.  Be sure to enter your project above.  Remember if you use a Gilli in your project, be sure and post it at the House of Gilli Yahoo group and the Gilli Gallery on Flickr.

Hugs, Wini

Stripes and Bling!!!

Hi!  I decided to do Bloomers Gilli for my stripes and bling card because her top was striped and it gave me a starting point.  I used my Scor-Pal to start my card base and colored Gilli with prismacolor pencils.  I then used  my Grand Calibur to cut the Spellbinders labels dies and the bows are from Stamping Scrapping Designs.  The palm trees were cut from the Oceans of Words cricut cartridge and the border punch used was by Fiskars.  I put stickles on Gilli's outfit and on the palm trees for the bling and finished it off with some stitching on the sewing machine.  I hope you all add your cards and play along!!  : )

BoHo Gilli

Hi!  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Stripes and Bling inspiration card for today!  I am so happy to be back with you!

I decided BOHO Gilli would be perfect for a striped card with her adorable hat.  I even added some stripes to her tank top.  Just to change things up a little I used my Grand Calibur and my Labels 1 Dies to cut my Basic Grey paper and decided to use only part of Gilli.  I really like the way she turned out – what do you think?

I used my Scor-Pal to add some more stripes to the background of my card.  For her bling I added some Crystal Gems to her earrings and belt buckle using my I-Rock tool and some Smooch Illuminate to the ball on her hat.  Some SSD Orchids, pearls and ribbon finished it off.

I can’t wait to see what you create –  you don’t have to use a Gilli but we would sure love to see you use one!

Gilli Ribbon and Pearls

Hi everyone!  Today I decided to use two Gilli stamps by Anary and mask them into one.  I used the Classy Gilli stamp and  masked it so I could use the head from Bloomer Gilli.  I love how feminine the up swept hair-do is on the Bloomer Gilli and I thought it would look so great with the suit on classy Gilli, especially with Easter and Mothers Day coming up.  I colored the images with prismacolor pencils and cut it out using the Grand Calibur with Spellbinders dies.  I used a Magnolia Doohickey die for the lace and the cricut Mini Monograms and Indie Arts cartridges for the scalloped circle and butterfly.  Added my ribbon, stick on pearls, and some stitching and she is ready to go.  Hope you are having a great day!  : )

Pastel and Bling

Hi!  My Doctor Gilli stamp[by Anary is in her pastel green scrubs ready to send some well wishes to someone in the hospital.  I added stickles to her clipboard and stethoscope and also to the flower and swirl.  I colored her using prismacolor pencils. I used a Martha Stewart border punch and Magnolia Doohickey dies cut with the Grand Calibur.  Topped it all off with some stitching and some ribbon.  Hope you have chance to add your card to the challenge!

Green Challenge

Hi!  Karen here with my take on the green challenge.  I have chose Tee Gilli by Anary and colored her with prisma colored pencils.  I used the circle Spellbinders to cut her out on the Grand Calibur.  I used a Just Rite stamp set for the sentiment and also used the cricut Designers Calendar and Lacy Labels cartridges.  I used heat embossing with white embossing powder to edge the four leaf clovers with and finished it off with ribbon, a button, some cluny lace trim, and some stitching.  I also used the scor-pal to have the perfect fold on the cardstock.  I hope you come and join in the fun and link your card up for the challenge!!
