Singing Jasper

This little cutie cat looked like he might be singing!!!  I've used him for a Christmas card, but also think he could be used for many other occasions!  He is from the latest A Christmas Story collection.

What I've used on this card:
445 JASPER
7 OLD SWEDISH LACE DOOHICKEY DIE
31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIE
MB 131 VIRTUOSA MUSIC MEMORY BOX DIE that I used is out of stock right now, but there is another nice one available.
MB 130 MUSICAL INTERLUDE 98355 MEMORY BOX DIE

Just a reminder you can also check out lots of ideas at Magnolia-licious. Just click on CARD GALLERY for access to lots of inspirational projects.

Have you seen the new Nativity Collection???  So many cute images and many will be perfect for other things outside of Christmas too!  Always love that when we can get more than one specific use out of a stamp!  You can pre-order now, but it sounds like they will be in soon.    Click HERE to check them out!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Your comments are always enjoyed and appreciated!

Enjoy every day!

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!

12 Mini Magnolia Tags of Christmas

This was a great way to get a bunch of tags done at one time!  I pulled out a bunch of my Mini Magnolia images, dies and punches along with 4 colors of card stock.  Cut out 12 tags 2 1/2" x 5" then started coloring, die cutting and punching out things.  Didn't have anything special for the tags, just cut the card stock out at the 2 1/2" x 5", cut off one corner with a scissors, took the piece I cut off and laid it on the opposite side to cut the other corner off.  Then punched a whole for the ribbon too.  Easy tag!!!  You certainly could make any size you want!  The basket was something I picked up at Michael's a long time ago.

I did also use the reinforcement circle die from the #1 VINTAGE TAG DOOHICKEY DIE along with a few different Spellbinder dies and some embossing folders.  Images are colored with Promarkers and accented with white gel pen.

As you can see the minis work nicely on these, but regular size could be used too.  I've tried to make links to the ones available, but some are out of stock.  If you are interested in ones out of stock, please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious.  These images were from the Sweet Christmas Dreams of 2011 and available soon the Mini A Christmas Story collection would work equally as well on the tags.  So many adorable images in that collection!!!!  Diana also has a terrific buy on a very nice Mini Christmas Collection Bundle right now too!

These were fun to do and hope everyone will give them a try too!  I think they will make a nice little gift package.

Enjoy every day!

Think Pink Treats

The Magnolia-licious DT wants to help promote awareness/early detection and share what this Think Pink Month is about with ALL women!  We also want to honor all of those women that have or are currently fighting this disease and show our support in the fight!!  To show our support the DT has planned our own “Think Pink” Celebration and we hope you can all join in.  Each DT gal has created some Sweet-PINK treats and PINK Packaging to match using those beautiful Magnolia images.  You can find some Magnolia stamps that were created specifically for Pink Ribbon Awareness at Magnolia-licious HERE.  So have fun hopping along to see all the fabulous Pink-a-licious Creations and make sure to stop back by the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog to join in on the fun too!

If you've arrived from Tracy Valure's, you are going in order of the hop.  Didn't she make such an adorable treat box?!!!  If you came on your own, you can start at Magnolia-licious Highlites to start at the beginning so you won't miss a thing!

I've chosen to use two of the mini versions of the special stamps on my projects.  The pink sure shows up as a hot pink on the pictures!!!  It's really not quite that bright in real life!

The minis are colored with Promarkers and have also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Spellbinders oval dies.  Added pearls and ribbons and cut out a stamped cancer awareness ribbon image for an embellishment.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) is an annual international health campaign organized by major companies every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.  The Pink Ribbon symbol was used in 1993 by Evelyn Lauder as the symbol of The Breast Cancer Research Fund she founded and is used to symbolize the fight against the disease.  We also honor those that have fought the battle and who are currently fighting the battle while raising awareness to ALL women to be aware of the symptoms and to be proactive against the disease.   Want to find out more?  The National Breast Cancer Foundation HERE for those in the US and globally at the PinkRibbon.org site HERE!

• In 2011 Nearly 1.5 million women across the world were told they had breast cancer
• One-third of breast cancer deaths can be decreased with early detection and treatment
• In the US 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over their lifetime, an estimated 527 women are diagnosed in the US with breast cancer each day

The Queen of Qoloring Suzanne Dean is your next stop to hop to and be inspired by her fabulous work!

You will find a fantastic selection of Magnolia Stamps and DooHickey Dies plus many other wonderful products at Magnolia-licious.  You'll appreciate the wonderful service and great offerings from Diana and her staff!!!

Thanks for stopping by and share a pink treat with those dear to you!!!

Enjoy every day!

Another fun challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites from our lovely Hostess Angela Wood for a Halloween Project.  These are for the little Trick or Treaters that come knocking at my door on Halloween!  The adorable mini Tilda's fit so nicely on these little baskets.   Ooops, no candy in the baskets though.  Hmmm, is it because I haven't bought any yet or because it already disappeared???!!!  :)

These Tilda's are just three more of the stamps in the Special Halloween/Autumn Bundle at Magnolia-licious.  I used three of the fall ones on my last post.  Diana at Magnolia-licious has this and also a Christmas Bundle at a great deal!  She carries a huge selection of Magnolia plus lots of other great products!

The baskets are made with four Stampin' Up! Bigz Scallop Envelope die cuts glued together on the sides.  I've added a handle strip, pattern paper, ribbon and some crinkled paper.  The Tilda's are colored with Promarkers and cut out with Spellbinder dies.

Hope you will join us in the fun challenge.  Diana always has fantastic prizes too!  You can get all the details HERE at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

Thanks so much for coming on by!  Your comments are greatly appreciated!
Enjoy every day!
