Ornament Package

I made some beaded ornaments this year, so thought I would make a package for them for my Dr. Monday MD project for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Love the minis for the tags....perfect size!!!  Of course added some die cuts too!

You can find these along with lots of other fantastic products at Magnolia-licious:
MINI 3083 TILDA WITH HANGING STAR
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 27 SO WRAPPED MERRY CHRISTMAS TAG DIE
DH 36 CHRISTMAS LACE DIE

My package is loosely based on the Octagon Box at Scor-Pal.
I didn't make an octagon, just a square using the following dimensions:
Acetate Sides:  8 1/2" x 7"  Score at 2", 4", 6", 8"
Top:  6" x 6" Card Stock  Score at 2", 4"  Turn one quarter and score at 2", 4" again
Bottom:  4" x 4" Card Stock  Score 1", 3"  Turn one quarter and score at 1", 3" again
You will find lots of box and other fun projects at the Scor-Pal site!

Of course, I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season!!!  Stay healthy and enjoy the time with your loved ones!!!

With the new year, I have decided it was time to switch gears.  I've been making cards for the last 20 plus years and feel the pull to work more with my sewing, quilting and now new hobby (addiction!!!) of beading.  I won't get rid of my stamping gear, but have resigned from the Magnolia-licious Design Team as of the first of the year.  Sweet Diana Crick the owner of Magnolia-licious has opened up so many new adventures and opportunities to me, I want to thank her so much for her generosity!  I have been honored to be associated with such talented gals on the design team.  It has been a fantastic ride and I hope to stay in touch with all my friends that I've been so fortunate to meet on these travels!!!

I also want to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone that has been so kind to stop by and encouraged me along the way!  I've always appreciated the support and the time taken to leave such nice comments.

Don't forget to enjoy every single day!!!

Crazy Fold Gift Card

This card for my Dr. Monday, MD is a little different that usual!  It is a really different fold and it creates two pockets.  They could be used for tags, gift cards or even cash!

I've used the MINI 3109 GUCCI TILDA for this card.  The perfect size for this design.  She is colored with Promarkers.  I had a page of these punch out flowers and frames that matched the paper, so thought I would make use of them.  They actually were not fun to punch out because they left all these little nibs on the edges that I felt I had to try and trim off.  Think I prefer to use the wonderful dies that I usually use!!!  Diana has a great deal and terrific assortment of dies HERE.

This is the inside with the pocket opening on the right side.
The double sided paper was cut 4" x 11".

 Lay the paper so the corners are on the same line on the Scor-Pal and score the entire length.

Fold on the score line and center the fold (there will be a little space on each edge) on the Scor-Pal and score at 6".

Too easy, huh???!!!!  Now it's ready for decorating.  This size will still fit into an A2 envelope.

Fun Fold Note Card

Dr. Monday, MD day.  Minis and dies and kept it simple to show off the bow and leaf borders.

Find these great products along with many more at Magnolia-licious:
MINI 361 DELIGHTFUL TILDA
DH 38 EDWIN LACE DIE 
DH 98 GROOMS BOW DIE

The card is 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2".   I've embossed the top flap, put in a couple score lines for accents and added the Edwin Lace border as trim.  (Not sure why it is called lace, but I like it!!!)  Fold the flap over and using a 2 1/2" circle punch or dies cut out the circle opening.  (It is folded, so you are only seeing half the circle.) 

On this flap I've added a 4" x 4" piece of card stock and the border again along with a Just a Note piece.  I've also adhered the Tilda and circles onto the top edge of this flap. Use the circle opening to center.  Another design that works so nicely with the mini stamps.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.

The inside has a 4" x 4" piece of card stock with border trim too.  Lots of places for messages!

Tilda and Edwin Glitter Joy Ornaments

I hope you have enjoyed all the wonderful inspiration from the Magnolia-licious Design Team on our Holiday Blog Hop.  If you came from our lovely Scottish Lass Artist Suzi's blog - Suzi Mac Creations you have made it here to the last stop on the hop!!!  If you stopped by on your own, please head on over to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to get the list and start from the beginning....you won't want to miss a stop!!!

It is always fun to jazz up or alter things that are already made.  I found these glittered JOY ornaments at the dollar store and thought they would be ideal to add our cute little mini Tilda's and Edwin's to the "O's".  Of course, had to add a few die cuts with them also!!

The newest Christmas collection hasn't arrived just yet, so I used some previous ones, but Magnolia-licious should be getting the new ones soon.  You can find the Waiting for Christmas collection HERE.  Oh my, there are some real cuties once again!!!!

I've used the following from Magnolia-licious on this project:
MINI 104 THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS EDWIN
MINI 105 CHRISTMAS EVE EDWIN
MINI 255 A JOYFUL TILDA
MINI 353 CHRISTMAS EVE TILDA 
DH 17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIES
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES

 

Found these would fit perfectly on a card front, so can use them for both a little gift and the card.  I've attached the ornament by tying a ribbon through a couple punched holes in the card front and around the ornament.  Easy enough to remove!  The images are colored with Promarkers and a little white gel pen for accents.

 You will have two ways to win during the Hop this year!!!  Yeah!!!!!

Friend Oval Flip Card

A card for Dr. Monday, MD...Minis and Dies!  Was inspired by the beautiful fall colors, especially the yellows and golds on the trees in our yard.

MINI A13 TILDA WITH MILLIE THE MOUSE
DH 49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG DIE
MB 54 PRIMULA DIE
MB 207 FABULOUS PHLOX DIE

The die cut flowers were from the Primula Die and the leaves were from the Phlox Die set.  Tilda and friend were colored with Promarkers.  The card and ornate dies were an Elizabeth Craft set.

One of the inspiration trees in the yard!

Diana has posted the new Waiting for Christmas stamps!!!  Lots of darling images to choose from in regular and mini sizes.  There are also some new fir branches, leaves, berries and flowers that are perfect for the upcoming winter cards we will be making.  Get your preorder in, so you will be one of the first to get them!

Thinking of You Minis

Happy Dr. Monday MD (Minis and Dies) Day!!!  I put a couple of the oldies, but goodies minis together for today's project.

Find these and other minis and dies at the terrific online store of Magnolia-licious:
MINI 224 LAZY SUMMER DAYS TILDA
MINI 504 STONE WALL WITH PILLAR
DH 19 MINI ZIGZAG AND SCALLOP DIES
DH 48 JUNGLE LEAVES DIES
MB 27 FAUNTLEROY CREST DIE
MB 206 LOVELY ASTER DIE

Cut the Fauntleroy Crest Die in half to place in two directions.  For the purple clover type flowers I used just the smallest of the Aster dies.  Almost looks like a clover flower!  The white flowers are from a small snowflake punch.  Tilda and the stone wall are colored with Distress Inks.

Diana always has such great prices, but she is having an even better sale of 25% off on dies!  Lots of fun things to choose from some of my favorite die brands:  Doohickeys, Memory Box, Poppy Stamps, Impression Obsession and more!!!  HERE is a direct link to all of them!

Really appreciate you stopping by and your comments!!!  Remember names are put in a drawing for a surprise package for comments left for the Design Team members.

Enjoy every day!!!
