Water Theme Challenge Card

What fun summery images to work with to make a water theme card!  Today is Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge for June.

I've done some masking and water colored with distress inks and of course had to add some 3D too! I've stamped and masked the tip leaves, but also stamped and cut out a few extra to pop up.

You'll find these images plus an excellent selection of regular and mini Magnolia's at Magnolia-licious!!!  The best place to find Magnolia and lots of other fine products.  Check out the discounts, specials and in addition to getting a store credit on your purchases!!!  Wonderful people and fantastic service at Magnolia-licious!
#237 FLIP FLOP TILDA

Wrapped and Unwrapped Tilda Ornaments

Made a couple of ornaments with the mini Wrapped and Unwrapped Tildas.  Could also use these for gift tags too!

These minis can be found at Magnola-licious along with lots of other fun stuff!

You can still find the great special Diana is offering for both of these!
Click on the item to go directly to it:
MINI #3001 WRAPPED TILDA AND MINI #3002 UNWRAPPED TILDA
SWEET CHRISTMAS DREAMS PAPER PACK
#4 LEAF AND SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIES-Leaf
#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIES-Flowers
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES-Little Flower

Water colored with Distress Inks.  (Used the new Seedless Preserves along with the usual colors.)  Have also used a holly Punch Bunch punch, Spellbinders oval and label dies plus added the Viva Decor pearl drops.  Ooops, forgot to put blush on their cheeks!

Do you ever find that you have to stamp an image a few times to get a really good one?  Well, I've been experimenting with the No More Shims Embossing Mat.  I've mentioned I love using it for embossing with my Cuttlebug, but also found another great use!  Normally when I stamp my minis, I've put them on an acrylic block with the Tack and Peel and then had a piece of foam mat under the paper I'm stamping on.  I found the No More Shims mat works even better than the foam mat because it has some cushion, but just the right amount of firmness.  Hope that makes sense!  I love using products that have more uses than just the original intention!

Diana has the No More Shims mat and the Tack and Peel at Magnola-licious!

I hope everyone is working on their projects for the fabulous challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites!  There are some awesome prizes you wouldn't want to miss out on!

HERE is the link to the Wrapped Up Holiday Challenge and all the info.

A Wrapped Up Holiday Challenge and Count the Snowflakes!

I'm sure this Wrapped Up Holiday Challenge is getting you in the Christmas mood!  Working with these little cuties and the few inches of white stuff that came down yesterday sure got me into it!!!

Hope you are enjoying the blog hop with all the fabulous creations from the Magnolia-licious Design Team!  If you just saw the fabulous work of Janiel, you are going in the right direction.  If you came here on your own, you will want to start at the beginning HERE at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

I've created a Joy wall hanging and added our featured mini Wrapped and Unwrapped Tilda's plus added the new mini Ribbon Tilda.  Figured she fit in with the theme since she has a ribbon to tie up something!!!  (Not that I'm thinking that far ahead, but she would be great for Valentine's Day too!)

Diana has these darlings plus an outstanding special on minis HERE.  She has paired up some of the minis for this and what a great way to start or expand your collection.  Besides this terrific sale, she has awesome service and a fantastic selection of Magnolia and other fun products!

From Magnolia-licious, I've used:
MINI #3102 RIBBON TILDA
MINI #3001 WRAPPED TILDA
MINI #3002 UNWRAPPED TILDA
SWEET CHRISTMAS DREAM PAPER PACK
#15 POINSETTIA FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES
#17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIES
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES

These are the same flowers I used on the card I made the other day, I thought I would use them for this one too.  They went so nicely with the Sweet Christmas Dreams paper.

Edged the flowers with a sponge dauber and ink.  The centers are some crushed stone glued in with Glossy Accents from my stash.

I can't believe the generous and awesome prizes Diana from Magnolia-licious is offering.  I hope you will join us in this fun challenge!  Details are HERE.  Did you find the hidden snowflake(s) on the first photo?

Now you get to hop over to see what that Queen of the Coloring Pens Ruby has created!  I know for a fact she worked hard at coming up with something fun and exciting to share with you!!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy every day!

Sweet Winter Tilda

This Tilda was one of the new Sweet Christmas Dreams collection that I thought was the cutest, until I realized you just can't pick out a cutest from the entire collection!!  They are all so adorable!!!

Figured I better get going on some Christmas cards and better keep them rather simple if I'm going to get a bunch done.

This is #3093 Winter Tilda and I've colored her hat and coat with the new Evergreen Bough Distress Ink.  Have also used Spellbinder dies, MS snowflake punch and the word stamp is from JustRite.  Patterned paper is from my stash.  Added pearls and liquid applique to the poms and muff.

This cutie can be found at Magnolia-licious.  The Design Team is working on projects for the upcoming hop on November 21st and to tie in with that Diana has offered an outstanding deal on many of the minis for EVERYONE!!!  OMG, you will want to check these out and stock up!  Go to Magnolia-licious Highlites for all the details of this exciting challenge!  Now Diana has also offered some serious prizes for the challenge!!!!  WOW, you will want to join in!!!!

Go HERE if you want to go directly to the awesome special on the minis!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy every day!

Tilda with Snow Heart Box

 

Get your Scor-Pals out!!!  Make this quick and easy little box with this new cute Tilda with Snowy Heart and a flower and some greenery!  The box has a band that slides off and easy to decorate with our favorite Magnolia things!

HERE are the instructions for the Box and all you do is add a band to go around.  I had leftover pieces from my piece of 12 x 12 paper!

Here are some of my favorite Magnolia things that I used for this project:

3090 TILDA WITH SNOW HEART

15 POINSETTIA FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE

17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIE

34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-LEAVES

There is a new Vintage Mistletoe die that is an awesome addition to our greenery dies too!  Check out Magnolia-licious for a terrific selection of all the new and old dies besides the Magnolia stamps!  Great prices, get store credit for your purchases and free shipping with qualifying orders besides wonderful service from very nice people!!!

A Punch Bunch stamen punch and 1/4" circle punch was also used.  Tilda is water colored with Distress Inks and so is the flower.  I've used the new Seedless Preserves from the limited edition set, but the photos have made it more pink than it really is.  It is more of a nice grape color.  Used my usual white gel and stardust pens for some detail!

Appreciate you checking in!  Hope you have time to do some creating today too!

Enjoy every day!

Tilda Flower

Tilda is the center of attention when she is used for the center of a flower!  The minis work so nicely for this type of thing!  I've also used an Embossie (see post below) for the background.

Tilda is the MINI #3034 TILDA WITH BUTTERFLY JEANS!  As you can see, you don't see the cute jeans she has on, but she is still a cutie in partial stamping!!!  I've also used the #34 WILD STRAWBERRY LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE and the #9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE.   Tilda is water colored with Distress Inks:  Tattered rose-skin, Wild Honey-hair, Faded Jeans-dress, Pumice Stone-shading.

These can be found at Magnolia-licious where  Diana has an awesome selection of the Magnolia products and more!  The new Sweet Christmas Dreams collection is in along with the mini sizes and they are just the sweetest images!!!

Have also used Punch Bunch groovy flower, sunflower and heart punches along with circle Spellbinder dies.  The corners are Creative Memories and I've used the Stardust pen and white gel pen for accents.  The word stamp is Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by and checking in!!!

Enjoy every day!

Swimming Tilda enjoying life!!!

Tilda looks like she is enjoying the views underwater.  Is that Nemo she is swimming with?

This is some paper from K and Company and the colors and the swirls at the bottom seemed to fit right in for an ocean scene.

The wonderful Magnolia items and many, many more are from Diana's store Magnolia-licious!

#365 SWIMMING TILDA
#604 HAWSER
#446 SEA SHELLS
#23 ANTIQUE LACE DOOHICKEY DIE

The hawser and sea shells are nice little accessory stamps to add to your creations.  Check out the STEAL of a DEAL that Diana has on these two, but  better get them quick before they are sold out!  The hawser and shells are also ideal accent pieces for masculine cards with ships on them!!!

Tilda and the hawser are water colored with Distress Inks.  The shells are stamped on pink card stock with white pigment ink.  I've used Spellbinders dies, Stampin' Up and Penny Black word stamps and of course added some Glossy Accents to the goggles, fish and bubbles.  Can't believe, but somehow or another I didn't get any sparkle on there!!!  :)

Sure makes me want to go swimming!!!

Enjoy every day!

Wedding Day Blog Hop

Today is the Magnolia-licious Highlites WEDDING DAY blog hop!  If you have arrived from the Master of Cute Angie Hunt’s blog, you have come down the aisle to the right spot.  If you came on your own, you will want to check out all the wonderful Wedding Day projects from the Design Team starting HERE to start at the beginning and get the details.

The challenge is to create a wedding card and also a wedding project with of course Magnolia stamps and also using the Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy.  With so many great project directions on the site, it was hard to choose, but I picked both a fun card and a box.

The Magnolia products that I used between both projects are from Diana at Magnolia-licious.  You'll want to shop at her store for the best service and nicest people!!!

MINI #158 BRIDAL COUPLE

#533 LOVING BORDER

#20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER

#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS ANDLEAVES

WEDDING COLLECTION PAPERS

First is the card which was designed by Cambria Turnbow and the directions are HERE at the Scor-Pal site. 

Used three of the papers from the wedding collection, inked the edges with antique linen distress ink and matted them with gold metallic card stock frames.  Also used the gold metallic card stock for the ovals cut from Spellbinders dies and the Sizzlet scallop heart die.

Colored the bridal couple with distress inks and the words are computer generated.  “Love” is a Sizzlet die.

The flowers and leaves are made with the Magnolia Vintage Flowers and Leaves dies plus a mini sun punch for the center of the flowers.

Accents are amber rhinestones, gold cord, and the tiny hearts are the punch outs from the Magnolia Romantic Lace Border I used on the box.

TIP:  Although I kept the flowers flat, with all the matting, it became quite thick to fold up.  So a tip if you are going to make it this thick, probably do a double scoring about 1/8” in between sections.  It will take some figuring, but then it will close properly!!!

Then there is the Marriage Advice box!  This would make a great little extra to have on the table next to the guest book.  This is for the guests to give their little tidbits of wisdom to the new couple of how to achieve marital bliss!!!

The box pattern directions are HERE at the Scor-Pal site.

Using most of the same things from the card, I did add the Romantic Lace Border in the gold metallic card stock around the bottom of the box plus added a Stampin’ Up! hardware frame and brads.  The note cards inside the box are stamped in gold ink with the Loving Border stamp and the edges sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Now to continue on down the aisle, you will want to go to the Fabulously Creative Sharon to see what wonderful projects she has created!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Enjoy every day!!!

May Sketch -Tilda With Big Ribbon

 

What a wonderful sketch Suzanne has come up with for the May Challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!  This is such a nice layout and right up my alley....flowers too!!!

Used the lovely mini Big Bow Tilda sitting daintily on the mini Vintage Couch.  Did a different flower with leaves and ferns using the DooHickey dies along with the Spellbinders Parisian motif and border die.

Magnolia Supplies (click on item to go directly to it):

MINI #3030 TILDA WITH BIG RIBBON

MINI #569 VINTAGE COUCH

#736 EMBLEM

#15 POINSETTIA FLOWERS  (for leaves)

#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES

Thought the Emblem stamp with Versamark ink gave the background just a subtle watermark Victorian look to go with the Vintage Couch.  It is a terrific stamp for this type of background and also great for wedding cards.

 The paper was just a small piece I had around and also used a Hero Arts word stamp.

Coloring is water colored with the distress inks and added pearls and gel pens for accents.

Hope you will join us for this challenge.  That sweet lady Diana from Magnolia-licious has offered another great gift certificate for the prize!

Enjoy every day!!!

Royal Wedding Card

 Figured I needed to make a wedding card with our own royal couple in Magnolia World!!!  Used the MINI #158 BRIDAL COUPLE along with the DooHickey #4 Leaf and Swirl from Magnolia-licious.

The adorable couple are water colored with distress inks and embellished with glaze, stardust and white gel pens.  Also used a Stampin' Up! stamp and embossing folder, an EK Success circle and flower punch, Punch Bunch ivy leaf, Spellbinders oval and scalloped oval dies along with some pearls and ribbon.

There is still one more day to enter Sharon's April challenge using both Tilda and Edwin  HERE at Magnolia-licious Highlites.  Hope you will join us!

Enjoy every day!!!
