Hi Everyone!! It’s Wini, from LooneyBugDesigns, with your Anything Goes inspirational project for today. I am so excited to share my first Gilli project of 2012 with all of you!
I used Girly 2 Gilli for this fun project. You can visit my Blog for all the details.
I am always willing to try new projects so today I thought I would try coloring with my Copics on fabric! I know, I know – I am not the first to do this. In fact I used this great video by Suzanne J. Dean as my inspiration for todays project.
I can’t wait to see what you make for our Anything Goes Challenge!! Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to enter your project into our Inlinkz below!

Hi Everyone! It’s Wini, from LooneyBugDesigns, with your Monochromatic Inspiration project for today! I can’t wait to see what you create – be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to enter your project into our challenge for your chance to win a great Gilli Goodie.
I used Graduate Gilli today. I started with a piece of Glossy Paper and used my Paisley Impressabillities to create the background texture. Then I added Alcohol Ink in Black and Silver Mixative to color the paper. I added some black lace and some black I-Rock faux brads. Some Black Recollections Mulberry Mini Roses (my favorite roses of all time) to anchor the card and add some more texture. My scalloped oval is cut from silver foil and I used dimensionals to give it some added depth.
Gilli is colored with my Copics. I sometimes struggle with getting enough dimension when I color with blacks – but I keep practicing. I added some silver pen to accent some of the folds in the graduation gown.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with for our Monochromatic Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by today! And don’t forget, if you would like to order some of your own Gilli stamps – just send an email to anary@anary.com and let her know what you are interested in!
Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns and I am so excited to bring you a new challenge today! I have been so excited about this challenge.

Here is my project for you today…
I always color my images but wanted to try something different. I had some kraft paper left over from another project and decided that this was the project to use it on. I simply stamped Stole Gilli on the kraft cardstock and then used some FlowerSoft to add some color and texture to her hat and stole. All the cardstock and DSP that I used are leftovers from other projects that I had in my scrap bin. The corrugated piece is part of a box that I cut up and peeled the paper backing off to expose the texture. The lace is some leftover trim that I thought added another nice texture element to the card. The letters are chipboard letters that I covered with more scrap paper. Here is a good picture of all the layers of texture on the card…
I hope you are inspired to try your had at a project using something recycled and some texture too. Enjoy and don’t forget to enter your project in the Inlinkz below for your chance to win!

For my project, Stroll Gilli is all dressed up as a Ghost for Halloween. I had so much fun coming up with this fun design. I love it when I can incorporate multiple textures into my projects.

Welcome to Fall Everyone!! This is Wini, from LooneyBugDesigns, with your new Challenge #17 today. Today’s Challenge is to make a Fall Card. Choose any aspect of fall that speaks to you and create a project. I hope you choose to join us – as always you do not need to use a Gilli on your project, but if you do you will get two entries into the chance to win a Great Gilli Goodie Bag!
Today I was inspired by this great quote “What Pensive Beauty Autumn Shows“ by William Wordsworth. It made me think of all the great fall colors and the feel of the autumn air. Shopper Gilli seemed a perfect fit for this card. I loved coloring her in earth tones with just a pop of color.
I used my Copic markers to color her in. You can see all the details and what colors I used on my Blog.

Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Polka Dot inspiration today. I was SO happy when I opened my mail the other day and Anary had sent me a couple stamped images of the New Gilli’s and Oh My – They are so pretty!! I thought Parisian Gilli would be perfect in Polka Dots!
I used the new Parisian Gilli and colored her with my Copic markers. The black frame and purple border are both from the Snowflake image on the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge. The Flower was made from the Sunflower1 and Sunflower4 images from the Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge! So fun and easy to make! The green is actually some ribbon from my stash.
I just love the way Gilli’s Polka Dot shirt ended up. She is just so flirty and fun.
You can find more details on my blog. Don’t forget to enter your Polka Dot project in the Inlinkz below.

Hi Everyone!! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Bling Inspiration project today. Be sure to check out all the Design Teams inspiration projects and enter your own project for a chance to win a great Gilli prize!
I started with Lady Gilli and added some bling with my Spica pens. I love how versatile Gilli is. You can add as much extra detail as you want – I love that.
A lot of the bling on this very subtle, but I really like what it adds to the project.
I would love to know what you think. I can’t wait to see what you make, be sure to enter your project below. Remember you do not have to use a Gilli but if you do you get two chances to win!
Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Ribbons and Bows inspiration post for today! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to enter your project in this challenge to win a great Gilli prize!!
I just love how fun and flirty Tee Gilli in her hip jeans is! I decided to use a flower ribbon bow with a pearl center to brink out the blues in her jeans. The orange accents bring out her pretty red hair (inspired by my youngest daughter). All the papers (including the dictionary page) are odds and ends from my stash – I love it when I can create a fun layout with my scraps!
Thanks for joining us today at the House of Gilli and I can’t wait to see what you create for our Ribbons and Bows challenge!
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
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!
Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns here to share some more Gilli inspiration with you on this lovely Sunday! So have you been having fun with this first challenge? Are you exploring the possibilities with this amazing recipe that Suzanne Dean created for us? 3 patterned papers, at least 2 die cuts or punches and some form of sparkle.
I wanted to use Jeans Gilli for my project today but…. I also wanted to do something a little different. So instead of creating a card for you today I created a way for Jeans Gilli to travel everywhere with me. Would you like to see?
For my “patterned paper” I decided to use different mediums. To start my project off, I used a multi colored yarn to knit a cell phone bag (pattern #1). Next I created a Flower Pin, to do this I created my own patterned fabric using the new Anglaise Lace Stamps and dye based ink for the flower petals (pattern #2). The leaves were created by stamping more images from the Anglaise Lace Stamps onto some of the flowers from the SSD Color Me White Flower Cup that I had dyed green using Glimmer Mist (pattern #3). To finish off the pin I couldn’t resist adding a SSD Micro Rose into the center.
The flower petals are all Classic Scalloped Circles (die cut #1) that are folded and glued together. My Gilli image is cut out using Spellbinders Labels 8 (die cut #2). Finally my sparkle comes from the beads on the cell phone charm that I made to match the bag.
Jeans Gilli was colored to match the bag using my Copic Sketch Markers. To make Gilli small enough to fit the cell phone charm I put her on some white Shrinky Dink material and then baked her in my oven. She is so cute all shrunk down and and rocking her beads! Because I didn’t want the finished product to be too dark and possibly not dry I colored her very lightly and made her quite pale. She really does stand out in person – I wish you could see her!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my Gilli Cell Phone Bag! What will you create with our recipe? I would love to see your project! Make sure to enter your creation HERE for your chance to win our amazing prizes!
