Interactive Christmas Tag Blog Hop

Are you ready for some fun??!!!!  I'm going to start you out with my project for an interactive tag.  Both design teams for Magnolia-licious have been busy creating for our November Blog Hop and challenge.  There are TWO challenges:  ONE to make an interactive tag and TWO count the candy canes you find on the first image on each blog throughout the hop.  You will find more of the details at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog and also the list of names to follow along on the hop if you get side-tracked.  Diana is always so generous with her prizes and she is definitely in the Christmas spirit for the prizes for these challenges too!

I've used yet another adorable Tilda from the Little Christmas Collection 2012.  Here is a list of the items from Magnolia-licious:
215 CHRISTMAS TILDA WITH CAT
445 JASPER
27 MAGNOLIA TREE - leaves
68 CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIES
26 HEART SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
8 DOILY FLOWERS 
7 OLD SWEDISH LACE DOOHICKEY DIE   

The interactive part on my project is not only the folded flaps, but I also put a wobble mechanism behind Tilda and Jasper, so they do a little shimmy when the card is jiggled.  The images are colored with Promarkers.  The oval frame is a Spellbinders die, the embossing folder is Cuttlebug and I've added some pearls and ribbon.

That really nice Diana at Magnolia-licious offers store credit for purchases even on the already discounted prices AND free shipping for qualifying orders!!!  You will find they have a fantastic selection of Magnolia stamps, a wonderful assortment of dies and lots of other great products.

Now you will want to head over to that sweet and talented Cabio at Cabio's Craft Corner to see what creative project she has made.  We hope you will join us in these fun challenges!

EDIT:  People have been asking and I got my Wobbles from Amazon!
Enjoy every day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Jingle Jangle Tilda and Jasper

 This Christmas Story Collection has so many adorable images!  So much fun coloring with my Promarkers.  These are from Magnolia-licious  but are very popular, so you might want to order quickly to get them in time to do some cards this season.  Check out the awesome images from this collection that some of the design team gals have colored for Diana!  What nice inspiration to see them instead of just the black and white.  Fantastic job gals!!!

The things I used are:
341 JINGLE JANGLE TILDA
445 JASPER
I used an old Sizzix die for the Merry Christmas, but the
MB 140 TYPEWRITER UPPER ALPHABET 98367 MEMORY BOX DIE would work nicely and be about the same height and you could make any word or words you want!!!  The MB 136 PARKER UPPER ALPHABET 98364 MEMORY BOX DIE has letters just a little taller and would work as well.

The background paper is the mini Christmas Story papers.  Please check with Diana about the availability.  They are very popular and I can understand why....LOVE all the prints, but especially the red and white stripes!!!!

Diana also has a fantastic special collection of Christmas minis HERE.  Good time to get minis that are the perfect size for tags.  (Check out my last post!)  If you have some of these in this collection already, then you would have some extras to give as gifts.  Excellent buy and WOW, she is even giving you a binder.  They are awesome and you will love this fabulous way to store your minis.

Don't forget Diana at Magnolia-licious also offers a store credit besides the discounts she already gives plus free shipping on orders of $75 (US) or more!!!  Not only a fantastic selection of Magnolias, but also wonderful selection of dies and lots of other fun stuff too!!!

Will be posting more from this cutie collection soon!

Enjoy every day!
