Ornament Package

I made some beaded ornaments this year, so thought I would make a package for them for my Dr. Monday MD project for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Love the minis for the tags....perfect size!!!  Of course added some die cuts too!

You can find these along with lots of other fantastic products at Magnolia-licious:
MINI 3083 TILDA WITH HANGING STAR
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES
DH 27 SO WRAPPED MERRY CHRISTMAS TAG DIE
DH 36 CHRISTMAS LACE DIE

My package is loosely based on the Octagon Box at Scor-Pal.
I didn't make an octagon, just a square using the following dimensions:
Acetate Sides:  8 1/2" x 7"  Score at 2", 4", 6", 8"
Top:  6" x 6" Card Stock  Score at 2", 4"  Turn one quarter and score at 2", 4" again
Bottom:  4" x 4" Card Stock  Score 1", 3"  Turn one quarter and score at 1", 3" again
You will find lots of box and other fun projects at the Scor-Pal site!

With the new year, I have decided it was time to switch gears.  I've been making cards for the last 20 plus years and feel the pull to work more with my sewing, quilting and now new hobby (addiction!!!) of beading.  I won't get rid of my stamping gear, but have resigned from the Magnolia-licious Design Team as of the first of the year.  Sweet Diana Crick the owner of Magnolia-licious has opened up so many new adventures and opportunities to me, I want to thank her so much for her generosity!  I have been honored to be associated with such talented gals on the design team.  It has been a fantastic ride and I hope to stay in touch with all my friends that I've been so fortunate to meet on these travels!!!

I also want to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone that has been so kind to stop by and encouraged me along the way!  I've always appreciated the support and the time taken to leave such nice comments.

Don't forget to enjoy every single day!!!

Tilda and Edwin Glitter Joy Ornaments

I hope you have enjoyed all the wonderful inspiration from the Magnolia-licious Design Team on our Holiday Blog Hop.  If you came from our lovely Scottish Lass Artist Suzi's blog - Suzi Mac Creations you have made it here to the last stop on the hop!!!  If you stopped by on your own, please head on over to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to get the list and start from the beginning....you won't want to miss a stop!!!

It is always fun to jazz up or alter things that are already made.  I found these glittered JOY ornaments at the dollar store and thought they would be ideal to add our cute little mini Tilda's and Edwin's to the "O's".  Of course, had to add a few die cuts with them also!!

The newest Christmas collection hasn't arrived just yet, so I used some previous ones, but Magnolia-licious should be getting the new ones soon.  You can find the Waiting for Christmas collection HERE.  Oh my, there are some real cuties once again!!!!

I've used the following from Magnolia-licious on this project:
MINI 104 THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS EDWIN
MINI 105 CHRISTMAS EVE EDWIN
MINI 255 A JOYFUL TILDA
MINI 353 CHRISTMAS EVE TILDA 
DH 17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIES
DH 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES

 

Found these would fit perfectly on a card front, so can use them for both a little gift and the card.  I've attached the ornament by tying a ribbon through a couple punched holes in the card front and around the ornament.  Easy enough to remove!  The images are colored with Promarkers and a little white gel pen for accents.

 You will have two ways to win during the Hop this year!!!  Yeah!!!!!

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!!!

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!!!

Cozy Christmas Bear Star Ornament

 Found the directions for an easy 3D dimensional star and thought this sweet little bear would be kind of cute to dangle from it.

You can find 246 COZY CHRISTMAS BEAR at Magnolia-licious along with more of the images from the Little Christmas Collection.  Also find A Christmas Story collection and check out all the colored images!  The gals did a terrific coloring and so inspiring!

Hard to tell, but I've used a silver mirror card stock along with turquoise, pink and white.  It looks black or gray on the photos!!!  The image is colored with Promarkers and I've used some Spellbinders dies, a Cuttlebug embossing folder and some ribbon and cording.

The star ornament was fun and very easy to make.  Click HERE to go directly to the instructions.  Sandra has terrific directions and I thank her for sharing them.  My Scor-Buddy worked great for putting the crease lines in the star pieces.

If you haven't checked out the latest Magnolia-licious Blog Hop and challenge, you will want to check out all the fun and creative interactive tags.  All the details and the hop order are on the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!

Interactive Christmas Tag Blog Hop

Are you ready for some fun??!!!!  I'm going to start you out with my project for an interactive tag.  Both design teams for Magnolia-licious have been busy creating for our November Blog Hop and challenge.  There are TWO challenges:  ONE to make an interactive tag and TWO count the candy canes you find on the first image on each blog throughout the hop.  You will find more of the details at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog and also the list of names to follow along on the hop if you get side-tracked.  Diana is always so generous with her prizes and she is definitely in the Christmas spirit for the prizes for these challenges too!

I've used yet another adorable Tilda from the Little Christmas Collection 2012.  Here is a list of the items from Magnolia-licious:
215 CHRISTMAS TILDA WITH CAT
445 JASPER
27 MAGNOLIA TREE - leaves
68 CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIES
26 HEART SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
8 DOILY FLOWERS 
7 OLD SWEDISH LACE DOOHICKEY DIE   

The interactive part on my project is not only the folded flaps, but I also put a wobble mechanism behind Tilda and Jasper, so they do a little shimmy when the card is jiggled.  The images are colored with Promarkers.  The oval frame is a Spellbinders die, the embossing folder is Cuttlebug and I've added some pearls and ribbon.

That really nice Diana at Magnolia-licious offers store credit for purchases even on the already discounted prices AND free shipping for qualifying orders!!!  You will find they have a fantastic selection of Magnolia stamps, a wonderful assortment of dies and lots of other great products.

Now you will want to head over to that sweet and talented Cabio at Cabio's Craft Corner to see what creative project she has made.  We hope you will join us in these fun challenges!

EDIT:  People have been asking and I got my Wobbles from Amazon!
Enjoy every day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Joyful Tilda

 This adorable Tilda is another from the A Christmas Story collection.  She is very versatile as you can see and can be used other than Christmas too!

351 JOYFUL TILDA and you can find her at Magnolia-licious!  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.  I've used the flowers from 22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE.

The oval is a Spellbinders frame, the corners are a Cuttlebug die and the butterflies and flower centers are Punch Bunch punches.  Pearls for the flower centers and white gel pen for accents.

She would be the perfect image for a tea part invitation wouldn't she!!!!

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

Edwin Makes Me Smile and Holly card

Been a little side-tracked from card making lately, but managed to get back into some card making.  Loved this image of Edwin and added some snowflakes in the background.  I think this Edwin can be used for not only holiday, but any winter occasion card.

117 SKI EDWIN WITH SNOWFLAKES
432 JINGLE JANGLE SNOWFLAKES
I used the regular Smile stamp, but the mini is available.
MINI VERSION 704 YOU MAKE ME SMILE

Colored with Promarkers and used a snowflake punch and border punch for accents along with some half pearls and fancy yarn for the tie.

I loved the holly stamp that also came in the A Christmas Story collection and wanted to make a fairly simple and quick card that would be easy for mailing.

413 HOLLY SWIRL

Also used an old season's greetings stamp along with a Cuttlebug holly embossing folder and a MS border punch.  I've colored with the Promarkers.

You will find a terrific selection of Magnolia products for all Maggie lovers at fantastic prices at Magnolia-licious.  There are also lots of wonderful dies and other fun products too!  Dies seem to be one of my latest addictions lately and there are so many new styles available.  You can check them out HERE!  (Click on the name brand in the left column.)

Besides offering such a great selection at Magnolia-licious, Diana and her team offer quick and awesome service.  Don't forget to check out the card gallery for inspiration.

Watch for the upcoming Blog Hop on the 29th of November and we hope you will join us!

Stay tuned.....another project coming tomorrow!!!
Enjoy every day!!!

 

Pixie Tilda on the Rooftop

 I really like this challenge that Dear Norma has come up with for this month's Challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!!!  Something hidden!!!  So many of the Magnolia images have a place where you can tuck a hidden message behind it.  Interactive cards are always fun to make and receive!

The Magnolia images I used are from Magnolia-licious:

340 PIXIE TILDA

509 SNOWY ROOFTOP

31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE

26 MB MARIETTA BUCKLE DIE  (Cut in 4th and used in corners)

837 PS DELICATE CHAIN DIE

Merry Christmas is the Holly Post from the 2009 So Jolly Collection and the Christmas Story Paper, sorry, out of stock right now.   A couple of great substitutes would be 702 A MERRY CHRISTMAS and MINI PAPER PACK SWEET CHRISTMAS.  

Coloring is with the Promarkers.  The Celebrate is part of a Hero Arts Stamp. Spellbinders circle dies were used for the corners and medallion.  Ribbon and pearls for a little extra!!!!

Be sure to check out the wonderful specials Diana has at Magnolia-licious!!!  I like good deals and you will find them there along with great customer service!!!!  Love the bundles!!!

Hope you will put on your thinking caps and join us in the Hidden Challenge this month at Magnolia-licious Highlites.  Diana always offers a very generous prize for some lucky entrant!  Click HERE to get the details!

Thanks so much for your comments and appreciate you stopping by!

Enjoy every day!

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!

Merry Christmas!!!

Woohoo....one Christmas card done!!!  Wow, was it hard to get in the mind frame for Christmas with 90 degrees outside!  Although when you are working with these cuties, it doesn't take long to get into the Christmas mode!

This is a card for the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge for July 1st!  Our sweet hostess Janiel has encouraged us to work ahead and do Christmas in July!!!  Well we know that the year has already flown by fast, so I'm sure that will happen for the rest of the year too!  This is a good way to get started on those Christmas cards.

I've used some lovely beauties from Magnolia-licious of course!!!  Here is the list and links:
MINI #3001 WRAPPED TILDA
MINI #448 SANTA BENCH
#745 MERRY CHRISTMAS (Regular Size)
#31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
MINI PAPER PACK SWEET CHRISTMAS DREAMS

Some pearls have been added for accents along with a Sizzix die cut snowflake and Spellbinder circles and tag die cuts.  Images are colored with Promarkers and also a few pearls for the berries.  Have added some organdy ribbon and some white acrylic paint on the edges.

We hope you will join us for the challenge and Diana has a terrific prize offer too.  You will find the details HERE and find the fantastic collection of mini stamps and other great products at Magnolia-licious HERE!!!

Note:  According to the Highlites info, this challenge is not just minis.  I love using them, but you are welcome to use either size!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!!!

Sweet Angel with Star

So much for sticking to flatter cards for mailing!!!  I just love doing things with dimension!!!  I started with the printed paper from the mini Sweet Christmas Dreams Paper pack!  Loved this print and the soft grey with a brown tint to it.   Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and Touch Markers and I also used the greys with the brown tint.

Of course the wonderful Magnolia products I used are from that nice Diana at Magnolia-licious!
#3083 TILDA WITH HANGING STAR
#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE
#46 VINTAGE MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIE
#47 SPRUCE SPRIG DOOHICKEY DIES
I'm really excited about how Diana is helping us to be able to afford the new collection with her special prices and store credit system.  She is always looking out for ways to help us!!!  Just like the last collection, there are so many cute stamps and I can't wait to start playing with those too! 

Also have used the new framelet die from Stampin' Up, oval Spellbinder dies, a corner rounder, a Sizzix embossing folder, Stickles and seam tape for a bow.  The Wishing You stamp is from an Inkadinkado set.

Off to see if I can get any more cards done!  I'm just so slow, I should start Christmas cards in January!!!

Enjoy every day!!!

Pearlized Christmas Angel

One more Christmas card made.  Anyone know what happen to the time???!!  I've used the pearlized Stardreams cardstock.  Love how the dies cut this card stock and also how it embosses!

The best place to get your Magnolia products is Magnolia-licious!  Awesome selection and wonderful people!  And now she has also added some fantastic dies to the collection!  Diana offers the best deals she can and you can even build up a store credit for your purchases!  Check everything out HERE!!!

For this card, I used MINI #1010 CHRISTMAS ANGEL and colored her with ProMarker and Touch Markers.  You can find her plus the Sparkling Tilda combo special deal right HERE!  Also used the DooHickey #22 Vintage Flowers and the Memory Box #16 FROSTY BORDER  plus a Spellbinders tag and circle die.  The embossing folder is Cuttlebug.  The crystals are Mark Richards.

I am quite a fan of dies anyway, but love how these new Memory Box dies cut such a fine detail and then fall right out of the die.  Diana is also carrying some of the Cheery Lynn dies AND some Marianne Dies!!!  Wonderful shapes to add to the DooHickey dies!!!

This is a very busy time of the year, but want to remind you of the fantastic Wrapped Up Holiday challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites.  You have a chance at winning some fabulous prizes, and you wouldn't want to miss out!!!  So it will be worth it to take the time to enter a project and you still have time!  Click HERE for all the details!  Check out the post above it too because the Snowflake Count is also still available too!

Off to finish some more projects!!!
Enjoy every day....no matter how hectic they are!!!  :)

Lacy Christmas Flowers

 

Had a leftover piece of background paper so pulled out some more dies to get one more Christmas card made.

I've used Magnolia DooHickey dies for all but the corners which are Nellie Snellen.

The DooHickey dies are from Magnolia-licious:
#17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIE-snowflake
#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIE-flowers
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIE-leaf
#6 BON VOYAGE FOLIAGE DIE-leaf
#8 DOILEY FLOWERS

Sorry the doily flowers are out of stock right now, but the #2 PEONY DOOHICKEY DIES would work as well for this flower.

Also Diana is carrying Marianne Designs dies!  You can order them HERE!

AND the Memory Box dies will be in shortly too!  Find those HERE!  You can preorder these right now.

The words are from an Inkadinkadoo stamp set, and I've added ribbon and some red bling!

This is just a quick post because I'm supposed to be cleaning for Thanksgiving tomorrow, but of course, making cards is much more fun!!!

Wishing everyone a fun, safe and fabulous Thanksgiving!!!
Enjoy every day!
