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!!!!  :)

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!!!
