Four Sweet Crazy Love Cards

Four cards at one time???!!!!  It's that last minute pressure to get things done that helps me!!!

The Mini Sweet Crazy Love images are not only so cute, but many of these will also be able to be used past Valentine's day too!

This card has:
MINI 116 VALENTINO
20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE-Flowers
27 MAGNOLIA TREE DOOHICKEY DIE-Leaves
BOW EASY

I cut the Romantic Lace Border in pink card stock and used the hearts from that to embellish too!

Also used the lacy circle and plain circles from Spellbinders,  Cuttlebug embossing folder and some organdy ribbon.

This card has:
MINI 235 TILDA WITH LOVE LACED SHOES
15  POINSETTIA FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-Leaves
20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
21 ROMANTIC TAG DOOHICKEY DIE
22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE-Flowers
MINI SWEET RAINBOW PAPER PACK

Also used circle dies from Spellbinder, ribbon and some half pearls.  Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and Touch markers.

Isn't she sweet?  She is just sitting, pondering what fun things she should get next!!!!

The fun products on this card are:
MINI 3062 TILDA WITH PIE
31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS-Flowers
44 SWIRLY LACE DOOHICKEY DIE
BOW EASY

Also used a circle die from Spellbinders, a couple of Stampin' Up! punches, a Stampin' Up! word stamp, Cuttlebug embossing folder and ribbon.  Paper is Magnolia, but sorry, I can't find the name of it.

Can't forget about Edwin!  Another sweet little stamp that could be used year round!  Would be easy to change out the heart to have him holding something else.

Made the embossed background with the Scor-Buddy!  How easy, yet really adds a lot to a background!  All I did was score every 1/4".

Magnolia things used on Edwin's card:
MINI 117 EDWIN WITH STOLEN HEART
19 MINI ZIG ZAG AND SCALLOP DOOHICKEY DIES
MINI WEDDING COLLECTION PAPER PACK

I really like these Zig Zag and Scallop dies because they give just a little bit of design.

To finish it off, used  Stampin' Up! star punches, Spellbinders circle dies and some half pearls.

All of the images are colored with ProMarkers and Touch markers and have been stamped on Bee Paper with Memento Black ink.  For the mini stamps because they are unmounted, I use Tack and Peel on my acrylic block and put my paper on the No More Shims embossing mat for my stamping mat.

Please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious for all your Magnolia desires plus lots of other great products too!  Awesome products, awesome deals, awesome service and awesome people!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I always appreciate comments if you have the time or inclination!!!  Thank you!!!

Enjoy every day!!!

Sweet Crazy Love Valentine Blog Hop

Now this is a collection that there is no way to pick out a favorite!!!  All of them are just so adorable!!!

Now if you've come here from Mindy's blog and saw her awesome tote bag, you have come along the hop in order, if not, you will want to start at the beginning HERE.  Can you believe how beautiful Mindy colored Tilda on fabric!!!!!!  Magnolia-licious Highlites is where you will find all the details and order for this fun hop.  My design teammates have some fantastic projects that you won't want to miss a single one!!!

I've colored Tilda with Promarkers and Touch Markers.

Find all wonderful Magnolia products HERE at Magnolia-licious:
#240 TILDA WITH WRAPPED HEART
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#19 MINI ZIGZAG AND SCALLOP BORDER DOOHICKEY DIES
#31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

As can be expected, a couple of things are out of stock right now, but there are lots of others to choose from and Diana is always getting new stock in too!  Shop Magnolia-licious for great products, terrific deals, awesome service and especially nice people to work with!!!

This doily die is designed to use with the minis, but I thought worked nicely with the regular sized Maggies too!  I've layered this onto a Spellbinders circle and heart die cuts and backed with a white circle.

The Mini Scallop border die is so handy for just that little bit of edging and the size works with both regular and mini Magnolia images

Then I had some paper left over, so decided what is Valentine's day without a container for candy!  This is a modified version of the milk carton pattern.  I'll have to add the dimensions later, but if you have the milk carton die, you can make it from that.

I've used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI #3025 TILDA WITH HEART CHAIN
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE
#36 VINTAGE DAISIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

The new So Wrapped Tilda Lace Tag is really nice because it makes a tag to fold in half, so you can put something on the inside.  Or you can cut it in half and make two tags at once!!!

Now you will want to continue on the hop to that sweet Barb's blog where she has also created something just tooooo darn cute!!!

Thanks for hoppin' along!!!  Hope you will join us in creating a Sweet Crazy Love Valentine and enter it in the Challenge!

Enjoy every day!

Flowery Get Well Easel Card

Love making these shaped easel cards, so here is another one.  Some more fun for another card swap I'm doing with my favorite Demonstrator friends!!!   The Labels die collection, Perfectly Penned word stamp, Embosslit Beautiful Wings, Blossom Party die, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, Snow Burst embossing folder are all Stampin' Up! products I used.  Card stock is Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Old Olive and So Saffron.  Stampin' Up! copyright and all that jazz!!!

 I've added some photos of the basic shaping of this flower.  Didn't even use my usual floral punch craft tools for this one. 

 Cut in between the petals and using your fingers just pinch each petal in half.

Cut out the same flower in green and cut apart so there are two petals together.  Pinch the petal in half on these two.

Cut the petals in half on this flower.  Layer all the flower pieces as shown on the card using two layers of the Vanilla Flower, one of the basic black flower and one of the center flower.  Easy to do!

In a couple of weeks, I'll be heading to CHA in LA to work with that Nice Lady Diana from Magnolia-licious and some of the great gals on the Design Team.  I am so excited to be able to participate and be with all of them.  An honor to be sure!!!  It is like a dream to be able to meet up with my internet friends.  So I hope anyone that has stopped by my blog, if you are coming to CHA be sure to stop by the Magnolia-licious Mini-World Booth and say HI!!!  It will be right next to the Scor-Pal booth so you can check out some of my favorite products Diana has there too.

As always, thanks for stopping by and always appreciate any comments!
Enjoy every day!

Blossom Stamps and Punch Easel Card

Great Stampin' Up! Blossom stamp set to go along with the new punch.  Also used the new Labels collection dies!  I did this card for a swap and also used the Butterfly Wings Embosslit Die and the Elegant Lines and Designer Frames embossing folders.  The word stamp is from SU Perfect Punches set.  Second layer of the flower is from the Fresh Vintage stamp set that will be out January 24th for Sale-a-bration.

Stamped in white pigment ink and added white gel pen for accents.  Card stock used is Very Vanilla, So Saffron and Elegant Eggplant.

Used a stylus to hand emboss around the edge of the smaller die to get the embossing on the background Elegant Eggplant piece of card stock.

Suppose I need to say something about all rights reserved Copyright Stampin' Up, you know what I mean!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Enjoy every day!

A Sunny Double Fold card with Tilda as a Star

Starting fresh with a brand new year!  My very best wishes to all of you for the coming year.  I want to thank you all for stopping by my blog and being a part of my passion.  And a thank you also to those that take up their precious time to leave comments.  They are all so greatly appreciated and it encourages me tremendously!

Today I’m sharing my card made for the Magnolia-licious Highlites January Challenge Anything Goes!  Our Hostess this month is the most talented Cheryl Rowley and she has left it wide open for us to create whatever our little hearts desire...as long as it contains at least one wonderful Magnolia stamp (or more of course)!!!

A nice sunny yellow and REALLY green will certainly make us think of spring coming so that can make the snow and ice more tolerable!!!  Tilda is colored with Promarker and Touch markers.  I’ve experimented a little with using dots for shading and also the blender pen to remove a little ink for the highlights on her jumper.

Here are the things (and links) I used on my double fold card that I got from Magnolia-licious:

258 TILDA AS A STAR

17 MISTLETOE AND SNOWFLAKE DOOHICKEY DIE-/Snowflake

27 MAGNOLIA BRANCH AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE- Butterfly 
34  WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-Tiny Flower

Did you see the leaves came from the tips of the snowflake?  I do putzy, but even I wasn’t going to put individual leaves on the wreath like that.  These are in nice little groupings of three on a stem.

Have also used a couple of Spellbinder dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder and an Inkadinkado stamp.

This new Sweet Crazy Love collection which you can find HERE at Magnolia-licious is one of the best and I’m sure is going to be soooo popular because we will be able to use these for so many occasions and because they are just so darned cute!!!  Can’t wait to get into making Valentines with them!

Magnolia-licious has the best collection of these and tons of others plus check out all the dies that Diana is now carrying!!!  Woohoo!!!  Remember too, awesome products, awesome service and awesome people at Magnolia-licious!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  On to another tremendous year of Maggie goodness!!!  Please join us in this challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!

Enjoy every day!!!
