Lots of Doilies

 Doilies!  What a great theme for a card making project.  Always need a kick start to decide where to begin!  The Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog has this for our projects this time.  You'll find Design Team inspiration and how you can join in too right HERE!!!

I used some of my favorite lovely dies from Diana's Magnolia-licious:
DH 4 LEAF AND SWIRL
DH 8 DOILY FLOWER
DH 17 MISTLETOE AND SNOWFLAKE
DH 18 ROSE LEAF
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES
DH 31 MINI DOILY

The Mini Doily and the Doily Flower fit the theme perfectly!!!  Love the size of the Mini Doily because it can be used on it's own or more than one on the A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") size card.

I've layered the doilies at different heights to give it more dimension.  The red background is embossed with an embossing folder.

Had the intentions of using these colors for a Christmas card, but see it really could be for Valentine's too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!!!

Holiday Blog Hop - Tilda Card and Box Bag

If you are following along on a trip through the Magnolia-licious Holiday Blog Hop you have come from a Scor-Pal design team member Steph Ackerman's at Live Laugh Scrap.  This will be a hop with the Scor-Pal gals joining the Magnolia-licious gals for one great hop!  Double the FUN!!!  If you have come on your own, I hope you will go to the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG to start at the beginning and get all the details how you can join in too!!!

What I've used from the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS STORE:
MINI 3054 TILDA WITH CHERRIES
MINI WW 11 PUPPY LOVE TILDA
DH 11 CHERRY LACE BORDER DIE
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 63 WAVE TAG DIE
DH 82 VINTAGE BOX LACING COFFEE BORDER DIE
MB 140 TYPEWRITER UPPER ALPHABET DIES (sub)

I've created a Box Bag along with a matching card.  The box bag pattern I made up a number of years ago, but it is so easy out of an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock.  You could even use just a printed paper too!

Here is a picture of a rough template that I use:

Of course using my Scor-Pal:
Score lines on the 11" side are 1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 6 3/4"
Score lines on 8 1/2" side are 3/4", 6 3/4"
Cut out pieces and notch for flaps as shown.  There is a top closure flap.  Fold on score lines.  Adhere the glue flap to the opposite side where shown (Scor-Tape works excellent for this), fold in and adhere the bottom flaps.  The closure flap at the top can be tied down with cording through punched holes or adhesive velcro strips or dots.

This is a photo of how easy it is to get red cherries with green leaves.  Just cut out one in green and one in red.  Cut the stems and leaves off the red one.  ADDED BONUS:  Look at the cute little bows you can get if you cut off the stems and leaves!!!  Love extras!!!!  :)

There will be two ways for hoppers to win!!!  THREE WINNERS!!!!
#1  Gather the letters and clues on each blog and unscramble the phrase.  Send the phrase to the email address posted on the MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG.  (Don't give it away on the comments!!!)  One winner of a Surprise Gift package (value $50) from MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS will be randomly chosen from all correct answers.

Wee Winter Fairy

 

 Just love Sylvia Zet's Wee images and this one is so adorable.  Finally got a chance to use some of these wonderful dies.   I had fun adding a few embellishments and got out the glitter glue too!

Over at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog, you'll find some wonderful DT examples for "W"ednesday and all the details how you can join us!!!  Click HERE!

"W" can also be for Wonderful at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store:
WEE 105 WINTER FAIRY
MB 155 PRECIOUS SNOWFLAKES DIES
MB 39 MINI HOLLY LEAVES DIES
MB 217 RESTING BIRDS DIES

The holly leaves and the bird dies are the perfect size to add for little accents.  I used the die cut holly leaves over the holly on the stamped image too!  The Noel was an old Sizzlet die and I've used a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The image was colored with Promarkers and then embellished with Stickles and Frosted lace.  Loved the Precious Snowflakes die with the snowflakes hanging from the bows, but for this card I cut them apart.  Love it when I can alter them and use in different ways.

HERE is a link to the Magnolia-licious store!  Diana is always getting in new merchandise and has a such a great eye for picking the best items!!!  Check out the specials and always the best service!  You can also find tons more inspiration in the Store Gallery HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Enjoy every day!!!

Mistletoe Christmas Cards

My mission was to get started on some Christmas cards and also use this wonderful Mistletoe border.  I've combined it with some of my other favorite Doohickey Dies from Magnolia-licious!

I saw a card design like this once and they called it a Magic card, but I know Magic cards as something to do with the coloring magically appearing, so decided I would call this a Winged Card design.  The flaps on the sides allow it to stand up and there is a flap attached from the top to provide an inside too as you'll see in another photo.

The wonderful dies from that sweet Diana at Magnolia-licious:
DH 16 MISTLETOE BORDER DIE
DH 17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIES
DH 31 MINI DOILY DIE
DH 57 SCALLOPED DOTTED LACE BORDER DIE
DH 68 SPRAWLING FERNS DIE
DH 71 POINSETTIA DIES

I used a 1/4" round circle punch to make the white berries for the mistletoe, but a person could also use a white gel pen or even pearls.  Of all the Poinsettia Dies I thought I had to have, I end up using this one because I also like to use the petals for leaves.  It is such a great leaf shape!!!

Here is a bit of a side view so the flaps can be seen a little better.

I am going to add things to the inside.....perhaps a Magnolia Tilda Stamp from the new Winter Wonderland Collection, but haven't been able to get to that just yet.  But here is a photo of the inside to show the top flap.

We also need quick and easy cards that we can make in quantities and are able to fit in a flat envelope, so I made this one also with the Mistletoe Border.

For this photo I left the card open a little to see the gate fold which is so easy to score with the Scor-Pal!!!   Love these center openings for something different.

Be sure to check out the other dies that Diana carries at Magnolia-licious too!  She is carrying a terrific assortment of so many different kinds besides the Doohickey dies with great prices!!!  HERE is a link to the dies.  Just click on the brand you want to see on the left!

Been out of commission for a little while, but slowly getting back into things.  I will be writing up more of the details on the Winged Card eventually, so stay tuned!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and also for your kind comments!!!  Enjoy every day!!!

Tilda with Spitz Pocket

Even more leftover pieces to start another card but added one of the cute little minis to this one!

From Diana's Magnolia-licious online store:
MINI 3093 TILDA WITH SPITZ POCKET
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 57 SCALLOPED DOTTED LACE BORDER DIE
DH 68 SPRAWLING FERNS DIE 
MB 25 AMANA CIRCLE DIE

Not exactly sure what a spitz pocket is, but the image is really cute!!!  Again added the sprawling ferns.  Guess I like that little spikey look!!!   Also really like how this scalloped die cuts out that close row of little dots....works beautifully!   Flowers have been sponged with antique linen distress ink.  Used Spellbinder ovals for the image and I have added a Marianne lace die in the background and the diamond shape is the left over piece cut out of the center of the lace background die.

If you haven't checked out the Little London Collection, Diana has a wonderful deal on the whole mini collection!  Click HERE to find out the details.

 

Don't know how they can keep coming out with these cute collections!

Enjoy every day!

Thinking Of You Card

 Again I had leftover pieces from experimenting on another project, so I wanted to use those and of course cut out a few more to add.  I've used the Nottingham Border in plain card stock before, but wanted to try it with a printed paper and it worked great.

Find these and many more wonderful dies at Diana's Magnolia-licious online store:
MB 204 NOTTINGHAM BORDER DIE
MB 25 AMANA CIRCLE DIE
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 29 SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIES
DH 68 SPRAWLING FERNS DIES

Love these sprawling ferns to add to the flower arrangements!  The vintage flowers were sponged with a little antique linen distress ink and have also added pearls for the centers.

Diana has a large selection of dies and is always getting in new orders too!  Please check her store out for some great deals along with terrific customer service.  Still time to get Today's Deal of the Day Viking Tilda at only $5!!!  A savings of 63%!!!  Click HERE to check it out!  I had fun with this stamp doing Zentangle on her dress.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

Snow Goose Card

 

This time of year the Canadian Geese have been flying around here in abundance!  We don't usually see very many Snow Geese, but I think they are beautiful to see too!  The geese were inspiration to have a go at some of the fun Memory Box dies.

From the Magnolia-licious online store:
MB 182 FLYING GOOSE DIE
MB 241 BIRCH TRIO DIE
MB 114 MAGNIFICENT PINE DIE
alternative trees IO 84 FIR TREES DIES

I wanted a brown tree trunk, so here is a photo of how I trimmed off the branches.  I left a bump on the trunk to give me a little more space to glue and so I knew where to glue the green branches back on.  Thought this way also added to the dimension.  Was easy to do, but even easier would be just to use a brown marker to color the trunk.

The Snow Goose was paper pieced with some black accents, but there again a marker could be used to make it even easier.  I also used a little black chalk on the goose and birch trees for shading.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!!!

Wee Angie Baby Card

"W" Wednesday is a great day to pull out those cute stamps by Sylvia Zet or other adorable stamps from Magnolia-licious!

Here are the fun things I used from Magnolia-licious:
WEE 123 ANGIE STAMP
DH 30 CLOUD AND FLAG DIES
MB 136 PARKER UPPER ALPHABET SET DIES

A substitute for the Parker Alphabet is the MB 140 TYPEWRITER UPPER ALPHABET.  They are the same size as the Parkers.  Colored the cutie with Promarkers.  The clouds were embossed with a swirl embossing folder by Cuttlebug.  I've added white gel pen and used foam tape to pop up.  Also Spellbinders oval dies.

Please join the challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!  Find the details HERE!!!

Appreciate you stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

Chloe and Tristan Butterfly Card

Designer Papers are always nice to use, but I do tend to like embossed card stock for backgrounds too!  Our challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlights is to use no designer papers, but that's easy when we have so many other fun things to use to create our own backgrounds.

I wanted to try something different with these beautiful butterfly dies by Memory Box.  I've cut out the background Tristan Butterfly in craft and the outline of Chloe Butterfly with white and then I cut out another Chloe in the salmon color.  I used only a few of the cut out pieces of the salmon color, but ran them in a brocade cuttlebug folder first before gluing them in the butterfly frame.  Added some pearls for accents and I think it makes a striking butterfly.  I'm also thinking this might be fun to do a mosiac style or stained glass look.  Have some more experimenting to do!

You can find the butterflies and the other great dies I used at Sweet Diana's Magnolia-licious Store:
MB 126 TRISTAN BUTTERFLY DIES
MB 103 CHLOE BUTTERFLY DIES
MB 204 NOTTINGHAM BORDER DIE
DH 68 SPRAWLING FERNS DIES
DH 2 PEONY PETALS DIES
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIES

Also like the fact that both butterfly dies come with a separate die for the body/antenna.  The border die makes a nice delicate edge.  I used the salmon flower cut out from the border in the center of the flower.  Love getting "extras"!!!

Be sure to check out all the other wonderful dies and stamps at Magnolia-licious.  Great prices, special offers and grand service!!!

I hope you will join us for the challenge of No Designer Papers!  You can find all the details HERE at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and of course that generous Diana has a wonderful prize for some lucky winner!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I so enjoy your comments!  I appreciate you taking the time to leave them!  Enjoy every day!

Autumn Wreath

If you are following the blog hop, you must have seen Suzanne's adorable home decor!!!  She is sooo creative and talented!!!   If you came on your own, you will want to start at the beginning to see all the wonderful projects that the Magnolia-licious Design Team has created.  Click HERE to start at the beginning if you came on your own.

I love the earthy colors of fall, so wanted to make use of a lot of them.  Instead of using the usual leaves, I wanted to try a different die and made feathers for my wreath.

Find the dies and stamp at that awesome online Magnolia-licious:
316 AUTUMN TILDA WITH BROOM
DH 80 FEATHERS DIES
DH 12 LOVELY FENCE

This sweet Tilda is colored with Promarkers and I've also used the Bow It All to make my twine bow.  It's like having that extra hand that we need when making bows!!!  Right now Diana has the Bow It All for an introductory price HERE.

Thinking of other uses for the feathers and thought an all white wreath for Christmas and also something to do with turkeys for Thanksgiving would be fun!

You will want to continue on the blog hop to see the rest of the creative projects the Magnolia-licious Design Team has come up with!!!  Hope you will join in on the challenge too!  Head on over to Suzi's Blog and see the wonderful creative project she as made.....looks yummy and so pretty too!!!!!

Happy Birthday Guy!

Here is a CAS card for a guy!  A fun way to use the #90 Doohickey Mustache Die.....just add some eyes!  A great border die for guy cards too is the #19 Doohickey Mini Zigzag Border Die (you also get the Mini Scallop).

With a few circles and ovals, eyes can be made and depending on how they are angled affects the expression.  The paper and embossing folder are from Stampin' Up and the Happy Birthday Stamp is a very old Hero Arts.

Check out all the wonderful dies that Diana has brought in at Magnolia-licious.......WONDERFUL DIES!  Click on the brand category on the left.  My wish list is ever growing!

Working on some other ideas for the Mustache die, so stay tuned!!!
Enjoy every day!

Cute Little Treat Boxes or Ornaments

We've had some questions on how to put together the DH 94 Magnolia Doohickey Strawberry Die, so I have taken a few pictures and will give you a few tips to make them quick and easy!  Now believe me, this is the way to go!  In the past, I have made strawberry treat boxes by tracing and cutting out by hand, so using this die is a treat in itself!  I also like the size of this finished container because it is designed for just a little treat, so you can afford to make a bunch of them to hand out.  The finished size from tip to top is about 1 1/2".  They would be adorable scattered around the dinner table, arranged in a little basket or even cute hanging.  Adorable with or without candy in them!!!

Since I thought they would be cute hanging in a Christmas Tree as an ornament, I made them in a pearl finish cream paper and shiny gold metallic paper.

These are the steps:  Cut one piece of each die (berry and leaves).  From the back, cup shape the "petal" parts so they will curve nicer at the top of the berry.  Use the Best Glue Ever on the glue tab to adhere to the other side forming the berry.

Thread a cording through the "petals" from front to back and tie a knot at the top bringing all the "petals" together.

Cup the leaves from the back and put a score line down each leaf on the front.  Cup the middle from the back also.  Thread both cord ends through the center hole in the leaves and tie a bow.  That's it!!!

Here are the berries made in traditional colors!

These were so easy and fun to make!  You can find these dies along with many other great dies at Magnolia-licious!  Wonderful people there and terrific prices too!!!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!!!

Magnolia Butterfly Card

Saw a card made with the beautiful Magnolia Doohickey Butterfly die and just had to try one!  I have many butterfly dies, but this one was so striking!!!

The following were all from Diana's Magnolia-licious online store:
DH 87 BUTTERFLY DIE
MB 165 CHERISE LABEL DIE
MB 25 AMANA CIRCLE DIE
SEA BREEZE COLLECTION PAPER PACK 

The Amana Circle Die, I cut into four pieces to use in the corners.  Also used a Spellbinders label die and added pearls for embellishment.

 I LOVE gadgets and Diana now has the Bow It All by Zutter in the Scor-Pal store.  I've used it to make a double bow which came out nice and even.  It is nice that is set up to do a variety of sizes from small to large and you can do single, double and more bow styles.  It does come with a pretty padded bag to hold everything and printed instructions, but there are videos on how to use it that are much easier to watch.  The link for the video is HERE.  I really liked the fact that it is on the table and I can use both hands to work with the ribbon.  This will be another tool that I will enjoy having around to make my bow making easier with great results!

Since this is a new item, you can get it now at an introductory price from Diana!

I've recently been named the Die Queen, so will be concentrating on using those on my projects!!!  Lucky me since it is my latest addiction!!!  I love how easy dies are to use and look forward to using them even more.  Magnolia-licious has a wonderful assortment to select from!

Thanks for stopping by and as always, so appreciate your comments that you take time to leave me!
Enjoy every day!!!

Lovely Lace Challenge

 

Wanted to use one of the lace DooHickey Dies to make a raised frame, so used it on this card.  This is for the Lacey Lace theme at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!

From the lovely Diana's Magnolia-licious Store:
MINI 361 DELIGHTFUL TILDA
DH 82 VINTAGE BOX LACING COFFEE BORDER DIE
DH 75 PEONIES DIES
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES - flower
DH 68 SPRAWLING FERNS
DH 49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG 


I love the DH 8 Doily Flowers, but also love these new Peonies Dies are back in stock, so I would suggest, get them while they are in!

Can't wait to use the Sprawling Ferns for Christmas Greenery!!!  They will be perfect for swags or wreaths!

To make the frame, overlap the horizontal and vertical border pieces and cut at a diagonal through both pieces in the corner to make a mitered corner.  The may not match perfectly, sometimes they will though.   If they don't match, that's when you can add a strip of pearls or other decoration. 
There are two other border dies like the coffee that work nicely for this frame too!
DH 81 VINTAGE BOX LACING CHOCOLATE
DH 83 VINTAGE BOX LACING SUGAR

The  SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG is actually a double folded over tag, but I made use out of just half of it and can use the other half for a tag on the inside of the card.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers and accented with white gel pen and pearls.


You will find some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team members and how you can join in on a Lacey Lace project HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and your wonderful comments!  Stay tuned for some more fun die projects coming soon!!!!   Enjoy every day!!!

Sweet Little Fairy

Loved the sweet little fairy images from Wee Stamps.  Used one of the two that comes in this set along with the banner.

You'll find these wonderful items at the lovely Diana's Magnolia-licious:
WEE 149 FLOWER FAIRIES
72 DH CUTE CORNER DIE

Used the cute little swirls that came out of the corner die to accent the flowers in the banner.  Always love getting a little extra out of my dies!  And the "Thinking of You" is already on the banner!  The pink mulberry like paper was already embossed and I used a beautiful glittery white on white paper for the glitz. 

Colored with Promarkers and added rhinestones and stardust pen accents.

After getting to spend some wonderful time with the famous Diana, I want you to know, she is always thinking how she can offer her customers the best possible prices and products!  Be sure to stop by Magnolia-licious to see what is new along with previous items that have been replenished!!!  There will be some new adorable stamp images and yes, my favorites....more dies coming in soon!!!!

Please find all the details about how you can join in, share your talents and have a chance at a great prize from Diana on the Magnolia-licious fun challenges at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!  Enjoy every day!!!

Anything Goes is the theme at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Thought I would share some name tags that I made.   The minis were the perfect size for these!  Not sure that John would wear one, but I didn't want him to feel left out and tried to keep it a little plainer.

The lovely minis and dies I used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI 3039 SAKURA TILDA
MINI 3097 TILDA WITH TWO ROSETTES
MINI 3078 TILDA WITH HER RABBIT
MINI 123 LITTLE CUTE EDWIN
53 DH SO WRAPPED SWIRLY FOLDED TAG DIE substitute
22 DH VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
34 DH WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIE flower
27 DH MAGNOLIA TREE DOOHICKEY DIE  Butterflies
Sometimes the dies are out of stock, but you can always find substitutes that will work just right.  HERE is a link to the dies.

The tag die is a double die where it cuts out both sides and then is folded over, but I cut them in half and overlapped in the middle to get the lace background the size I wanted.  I've also used some spellbinder dies and the images are colored with Promarkers.  The letters are an old Classic set from Sizzix and I've used pearls for accents.

Please join us for the challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.

  

Light My Fire!

Not sure if this is really "HOT", but fire is what came to my mind for the Some Like It Hot theme at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Had fun with this easel card!

I've been wanting to try this using vellum with a battery operated candle behind it.  Wasn't sure if the camera would catch the flickering light, but it actually did.  The vellum is a little tricky to color on since it tends to puddle.  I had stamped on the vellum and also on another piece of white paper.  I cut the fire and the sky off the white piece and colored on the white and also the fire and trees on the vellum with Promarkers.  Used a little white gel pen in the clouds and Edwin is on white paper colored with Promarkers.  Added a couple of grapevine twigs I had with wire.

You can find Edwin and the background at our wonderful Diana's Magnolia-licious store:
112 HIKING EDWIN
519 HIKING BACKGROUND

Be sure to check out the new stamps she is adding to her store!  HERE  They are adorable and can't wait to use them!!!

Above is a picture without the "lit" fire  and below is the back to see how the candle is sitting.

Please join us in the challenge!  You will find all the details HERE!  As always Diana has a very nice surprise for some lucky person!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I always enjoy and appreciate your comments!!!  Enjoy every day!

Special Moments Tilda Notecards Times Four

So many times I need a card, but I have already made them a specific occasion.  This time, I decided to just make some cards that can be used any time.  The card packets which include 10 cards and 10 matching envelopes work perfectly for this kind of thing.  I was working on these and got an e-mail that Diana is offering these packets for a summer blow out, so now is the time to take advantage of a fantastic deal!!!  Lots of beautiful colors too!!!

CARD PACKET - 10 MATCHING CARDS AND ENVELOPES

This is a great way to make up some cards at one time.  I pulled out some white, green and purple card stock and many of my favorite dies and just started cutting pieces.  Then just started laying out the pieces and added a few more if needed.  Also had my Scor-Buddy handy to put in some embossed lines for accents.   Kept things kind of flat so I can take advantage of using the matching envelopes.

The images are all from the new Special Moments Collection and colored with Promarkers.  White and Clear Gel Pens were used for accents along with pearls.

Love Is In The Air

I've used the sweet new Tilda from the Special Moments Collection for the Love Is In The Air theme at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  Did the hidden tag thing along with extending the doily die behind the oval with Tilda.

Wonderful products to find at the wonderful Magnolia-licious store:
3041 TILDA WITH ROSETTES
1 DH VINTAGE TAG DIE
21 DH ROMANTIC TAG - hearts
35 DH VINTAGE KEYS
81 DH VINTAGE BOX LACING CHOCOLATE DIE
24 DH DREAM TAG DIES
185 MB CLASSIC UPPER ALPHABET DIES

Actually used the 82 DH Vintage Box Lacing Coffee Die, but the one above is similar and would work very nicely too!  Also used the Parker Alphabet, but the Classic or Typewriter would also work as well.  I find these dies for cutting letters for cards the perfect size.  Just use a two way glue, let it dry a little and then adhere.  Easy and no messy glue squeezing out from underneath.  Found I needed a longer tag behind the ovals for Tilda, so took two Dream Tags, cut off one end and spliced them together to make a longer tag.  The splice doesn't even show, but even if it did, a ribbon placed over the splice would have covered it up.

Tilda was colored with Promarkers.  I've used Crystal Effects on the Rose, added some pearls and also used Antique Linen Distress Ink sponged on the ivory pieces for the vintage look.

Please join us for the Love Is In The Air challenge!  You can find all the details HERE!!!

The 4th of July coming up for us, so wishing you all a happy, fun and safe holiday!!!  Enjoy every day and thanks for stopping by!
