Princess Tilda

Shocking! Can you believe it? I made another Magnolia card… and added another face! I tried out a different style nose and smile on this Tilda but might like the other one I did earlier, however, I think she’s still cute with a little grin. ;D


I made this card using Princess Tilda from Magnolia and another Love Carriage from Make it Crafty. This one is done in soft pastel colors suitable for a princess! I even added glitter to her shoes – every princess needs glittered shoes.


I kept the colors to a minimum but piled on lots of embellishments including buttons, brads, lace and even Dew Drops. The layout is a simple one, even though it’s mostly covered, and I distressed the edges a little. As a final touch, I added a little bit of glitter here and there.

Did you know? Barbie is a fashion doll created in 1959 by an American businesswoman, Ruth Handler, who credits her inspiration to a German doll called Bild Lilli. The Bild Lilli Doll was a German fashion doll produced from 1950 to 1964, based on the comic-strip character Lilli by Reinhard Beuthien. Reinhard was ordered to make a “filler” to conceal a blank space in the Bild-Zeitung (German newspaper) of June 24, 1952. He drew a cute baby, but his boss didn’t like it. So he kept the face, added a ponytail and a curvy woman’s body and called his creation “Lilli”. The cartoon was an immediate success so Beuthien had to draw new ones each day.

Study Tilda

I finally did it and made my first Magnolia card! I saw this one reading a book and thought that would be perfect for me and the rest is history, as they say. I made this card using Study Tilda from Magnolia and placed her against the Carriage of Love from Make it Crafty.


I added lots of buttons, even clear ones, charm, lace, twine and a tag. I added a few school elements too like the spiral bound paper edge, paper clip and safety pin to help add to the theme.

Did you know? The instant camera is a type of camera that generates a developed film image. Edwin Land’s original idea behind instant photography was to create a photographic system that was seamless and easy for anyone to use. Later models went a long way in accomplishing his goal. The photographer simply pointed the camera at the subject and took the photo and the film developed without intervention from the photographer.
