White Lacy Easter Card

The Magnolia-licious Design Team has made cards for our Easter theme over at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog.  I've been looking at so many pretty white on white cards, I decided to make my Easter card with all white!  Hmmm, think I could get by with this for a wedding card too!  Would have to change the inside though.  Thought it was about time to get those lovely DooHickey dies out and create an arrangement!

Find all these wonderful dies and stamps at Magnolia-licious of course!

854 PS GRAND GOTHIC INTERSECTING ARCHES DIE
8 DH DOILY FLOWERS DIE
18 DH ROSE LEAF DIE
17 DH SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIES
29 DH SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIE
4 DH LEAF AND SWIRL DIE
31 DH MINI DOILY DIE
22 DH VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
3011 TILDA WITH HAT
24  DH DIE DREAM TAG

This arch window is the larger size, but it also comes in a smaller size HERE.  Plus there are many other styles of arches and windows too HERE.  They make great backgrounds!

Have found I love using the "Best Glue Ever" for my flowers.  Takes just a tiny bit and gives a good quick stick!!!

Also I did use the Mini Tilda with Hat here, but put the link to the full size one above.

Had to add a touch of color with Little Tilda!!!  White sure is hard to photograph!!!
Diana is running lots of specials, so be sure to check them out at Magnolia-licious!  Wonderful place to shop and such nice people too!!!  :)  Hope you will join in on the challenge and make an Easter or Spring themed card.  Details are at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog.

Thanks for swinging by!  Enjoy every day!

Just Because Stipple Blossoms

I was in a Shoebox swap and used the Stampin' Up Stippled Blossoms set.  I have always loved those two step sets, but haven't used them for some time!  Although not a two step set, I thought of a card I use to demo at workshops with the Definitely Decorative Wildflowers set (the one with the big watering can).  That was many, many moons ago!!!  Do you remember that one!!!  One of my first and favorites!  Anyway decided to make the card design similar to that one I use to do.  People seemed to enjoy the free form cut edge along the image.

Needed a little something more on the inside, so also added another one of my favorites.... 3030 Mini Tilda with Big Ribbon from Magnolia-licious!  Love the minis because they are the perfect size to add to things like this!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!!!

Wee Wittle Peggy

Today is Wee Wednesday day!!!  A chance to use these adorable stamps from Diana at Magnolia-licious.

WEE 104 PEGGY
44 DH SWIRLY LACE BORDER DIE

Isn't she a cutie with her basket of flowers and pretty little bluebird?!  I've colored her with Promarkers and layered on an embossed paper.  The card is placed on a frame I made using the Swirly Lace Border Die.  Have added an additional Wee bluebird along with wishing you a happy, happy day from Penny Black on the banner.  Simple, but didn't want to overcrowd the sweet image.

 I love the Magnolia stamps and dies, but it is really nice to add this Wee Stamp collection to the mix!  Cuteness abounds that's for sure!

Don't know about anyone else, but many times I need to have some inspiration to get started with a project.  Most times the ideas I start with are not any thing like what I end up with, but it gives me a jump start.  Usually I've gone off onto another completely different direction!!!  :)  The Magnolia-licious Design Team is going to be showing some ideas for you on Mondays with the Mini Magnolias and Wednesdays with the Wee Stamps.  We hope it will help give you a starting point so you can go off on your own direction!!!  :)  This is in addition to our usual fun hops and challenges.  Find all the information HERE at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  We hope you will join in on the fun!

Diana at Magnolia-licious  has a wonderful selection of Magnolia Stamps and now the Wee Stamps.  Don't forget to check out all the fantastic dies she is carrying too!  Yup, my latest addiction.  Amongst other things!  Also check out the great specials along with the store credit you always get too!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!  Thank you for taking the time because I know how busy everyone gets!

Enjoy every day!

For the Boys

 

Seems like it is harder to come up with cards for the guys!  This is one of my favorite Edwin's!!!  Cool Edwin!  Decided to give him a Charlie Brownish type shirt!  This card is for the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge.......a Boy card!!!

Used three of the minis from Magnolia-licious:

MINI 103 COOL EDWIN

MINI 424 OLDSMOBILE

MINI 468 TREES IN A ROW

I've colored with Promarkers and added some chalk for the clouds and ground.  The gears are a Sizzlet Die and the word stamp is Stampin' Up.  Added some brads and used a corner shape punch.  Distressed the edges a little on the green card stock too.

You'll find so many other wonderful products to chose from Magnolia-licious and check out the special pricing and credits you also get.  Diana always has something terrific for us!!!

Hope you will join in on the challenge!  Not only will you get a guy card done, you will have a chance at a great prize!  Go HERE for all the details at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog!

Appreciate you stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

Singing Tilda at the Keyboard

At the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog on Mondays, we are going to be having Mini Monday!  So every week, you'll get a chance to see some new cards made by the gals on the design team for Magnolia-licious using the minis!!   Since I have a husband that is a classic rock musician and plays the keys, I thought making a key board card would be fun!  The mini Singing Tilda was the perfect size to add to the keys!

You can find MINI 3052 SINGING TILDA at Magnolia-licious.  She is colored with Promarkers.

I've kept this card very simple as you can see.  I've used the Spellbinders oval dies to cut out Tilda.  The keys are just strips that I corner rounded.  (1/2" wide for the white keys, 1/4" wide for the black)  For the inside, I kept it even simpler, but added the  MB 131 VIRTUOSO MUSIC DIE cut.  The word stamps are Just A Little Note by Stampendous and the Happy Birthday by DeNami.

Click HERE for the list of all the mini stamps.  There are so many images that are perfect for that special occasion or special person!  Find out how you can get an extra discount on mini's on Mondays at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.

Diana is also offering at an exceptional price.... the Mini Storage Binders!  A fantastic way to store the minis and find them easily!  Click HERE to go directly to the binders.  I don't know what I would do without them!

Thanks for stopping by and hope this has given an idea for making your own card using the mini Magnolia stamps!

Enjoy every day!

Tilda with Cute Skirt Birthday Card

A new challenge with a great new combined Design Team for Magnolia-licious!  Sure is an honor to be working with all these talented gals!!!  Our first challenge is using a Magnolia Stamp and make a birthday card!  Who doesn't need birthday cards!!!    Diana is now carrying Wee Stamps and I can't wait to get started on those too!  You'll want to check them out because she is offering a limited time discount on them.

For this card, I got to use some of the new Memory Box dies!  What a wonderful assortment of those and other dies....can't get enough of them!!!  My addiction for punches has transferred over to dies now!!!!  :)  Check them all out HERE!

Here is what I've used from Magnolia-licious on my card:
210 TILDA WITH CUTE SKIRT
MB 11 CHESAPEAKE CIRCLE DIE
MB 200 FRESH FOLIAGE DIE
MB 207 FABULOUS PHLOX DIE

These dies cut beautifully even with the fine lines.  A Quickie Glue Pen works great for gluing the die cuts with the fine lines.  Since it is a two-way glue, I let it dry some before trying to adhere, so it doesn't smear.    I only used two sizes of the phlox flowers on this card.  There are actually 3 sizes in the set along with some leafy branches too.  Another die I am anxious to work with more is the MB 206 LOVELY ASTER DIES (6 pieces).  They make a gorgeous flower, so stay tuned!

Speaking of flowers, I used the Best Glue Ever to assemble my flowers now and love it!  All it takes is a teeny amount and it dries quickly.  Also will not warp the paper if you like to glue your card layers together.

The Chesapeake Circle die cut is backed by round circles and Tilda is water colored with Distress Inks.  The paper was from my stash that I bought a while ago.

Diana offers great deals and a wonderful assortment of products!  You can see all of the specials HERE at Magnolia-licious.  Great products, great service and really nice people to work with besides!!!

Please join us in the challenge!  You will find all the details at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  You can join and have a chance to win a great surprise from Diana too! She is always soooo generous!!!

So glad you could stop by!  Enjoy every day!

Valentine's Tilda with Wrapped Heart

Just a real quick posting, but since Valentine's Day is pretty soon and I thought I would make one with this cutie Tilda and the heartflowers.  They are colored with Promarkers and I used some paper from my stash.

Find these at Diana's awesome Magnolia-licious store:
3074 TILDA WITH WRAPPED HEART
MINI 545 TILDA'S HEARTFLOWERS

This heartflower stamp is the mini.  The regular size stamp is much larger.  Even though this is the mini, I thought it was a good size to go with the regular size Tilda.  Used an embossing folder in the background and have added a SU sentiment on the label punch and grosgrain ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy every day!!!
