Hiking Edwin Journal

This new Hiking Edwin and the Background were a couple of favorites out of this collection.  Plus there were acorns and leaves to go with them and I could use some fall colors!!!

Decided to make a little journal instead of a card this time.

Can't possibly have everything flat, so I did cut out the leaves and acorns and layered them.  I crunched the leaves up a little to give a little shape. Water colored with Distress Inks which was so fun!!!  The embossing folder is Stampin' Up!, added some jute twine and a little white gel pen for accents.

These are Magnolia stamps from the new Turning Leaves Collection and you can find them at Diana's Magnolia-licious!  Edwin and the Background are also available in the mini version.  Be sure and check out all the great buys and offers Diana has for all of us!!!

Here are the links to the stamps I used:
112 HIKING EDWIN
444 AUTUMN OAK LEAF AND ACORN

519 HIKING BACKGROUND

He is quite the handsome lad isn't he???!!!

Appreciate the visit and thanks for stopping by!!!  I'm thinking I want to work on those darling sewing Tilda's next!!!

Enjoy every day!!!

68 CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIE
27 MAGNOLIA TREE DOOHICKEY DIE - Butterflies

Colored with Touch and Promarkers and also used a Spellbinders die for the background shape.  The centers of the flowers are Doodlebug glitter brads and 1/8" circle punched out Doodlebug glitter paper.

The centers of the flowers are Doodlebug glitter brads and 1/8" circle punched out Doodlebug glitter paper.

Another card is made with:
MINI TILDA WITH HELLEBORES
38 EDWIN'S LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE 

The border die worked nicely to make a couple of corners too!  The image is colored with Promarkers and Touch markers.  Along with the Doodlebug papers, I've used a couple of their glitter brads too.  Also used a Spellbinders die and Stampin' Up oval punches.  Words are Stampin' Up!

Should have used the mini sentiments on these cards!!!  Diana at Magnolia-licious has them for only $2.99 each!!!  You can check out those and all the other Magnolia things plus much more HERE!!!

Secret Tilda Flower Card

A good day for a blog hop isn't it???  Hope you are enjoying seeing some different shaped cards---ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE OR RECTANGLE from the design team for Magnolia-licious!!!  Wasn't Ruby's centerpiece adorable???  She is so very creative and does amazing coloring!!!  What an awesome job on Freedom Liberty Tilda!  If you stopped by on your own, you can find the details and start from the beginning at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

Used a Spellbinders flower die to create my card shape making sure I had my fold just inside the cutting edge of one petal.  You can see on the left, that one is a little straighter than the other petals.  This shaped card would work nicely with the mini stamps too!!!

#3060 SECRET TILDA has always been one of my many favorite Tilda's and figured she would be cute standing in front of this huge flower!  Thought this forget me not paper would work well for paper piecing, so used it in the background and Tilda's little outfit and bow!  HERE is a link to the mini papers.

Made some matching flowers out of a Punch Bunch corner punch.  Used a white gel pen and yellow liquid applique for the center.  Don't heat the applique, just poke a center hole after it has set up.  Also used an EK punch for the leaves, another Spellbinder die for the white lacy circle and a Hero Arts stamp for the happy birthday.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.

That Sweet Lady Diana always has some awesome specials going on at Magnolia-licious!!!  She offers a customer credit besides the discounts and then runs extra special deals too!!!  Always looking out for us, she has the Mini Sentiments for an extra special deal and be sure and check out the mini combos and bundles she is offering right now too!  The latest mini collection of Turning Leaves is here.

For inspiration and to continue on the hop, you will be heading to Suzanne's blog where you will find her fantastic work and I'm sure a good story or two!!! 

Thanks for hopping by and enjoy every day!

Summer Flower Tilda Card

Have used more papers from the Doodlebug paper pad.  Easy to put things together that way!!!  Colored this Mini Magnolia cutie with Touch and Promarkers and of course had to add some things cut out with dies!!!  I am soooo addicted!!!!  Yup, a new Doohickey Flower and Leaf die!!!  Simple yet I love the unique shapes.  Matches the Heartflower stamp images.

Now using hot pink and lime green is not my usual modus operandi, but it was really rather fun and so easy because the papers all coordinated!

The fun things I've used from Magnolia-licious are:
265 MINI SUMMER FLOWER TILDA
68 CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIE
66 MB PEPITA BORDER DIE

Special deal with Mini Summer Flower right now!!!  Love the delicate border the Pepita die creates!

Have also used a Spellbinders flower die and the Doodlebug glitter brads to match the glitter paper!

The dies cut through the glitter paper beautifully!  Sparkle and shine!!!!

Have a few more cards coming!
Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!
