Crazy Fold Gift Card

This card for my Dr. Monday, MD is a little different that usual!  It is a really different fold and it creates two pockets.  They could be used for tags, gift cards or even cash!

I've used the MINI 3109 GUCCI TILDA for this card.  The perfect size for this design.  She is colored with Promarkers.  I had a page of these punch out flowers and frames that matched the paper, so thought I would make use of them.  They actually were not fun to punch out because they left all these little nibs on the edges that I felt I had to try and trim off.  Think I prefer to use the wonderful dies that I usually use!!!  Diana has a great deal and terrific assortment of dies HERE.

This is the inside with the pocket opening on the right side.
The double sided paper was cut 4" x 11".

 Lay the paper so the corners are on the same line on the Scor-Pal and score the entire length.

Fold on the score line and center the fold (there will be a little space on each edge) on the Scor-Pal and score at 6".

Too easy, huh???!!!!  Now it's ready for decorating.  This size will still fit into an A2 envelope.

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!!!!!

Corner Flip Card With Tilda

Saw a card with a similar design and thought it would be perfect to showcase a Mini Tilda!  Another project for Dr. Monday MD (minis and dies).  Of course, I always love trying out different dies.

Find these and other magnificent things at Magnolia-licious:
MINI 377 VIOLET TILDA
MB 54 PRIMULA BLOOMS DIES
DH 19 MINI ZIG ZAG AND SCALLOP DIES

See it is just the corner that flips up.  I did a partial cut with a Spellbinders die, then cut to the fold with a scissors.  The background papers ere from an old My Mind's Eye pad.  Didn't see till too late, but could have sanded the edges of the flowers, so they stood out from the paper a little more.  I can see this Primula Blooms die is going to have lots of uses....a nice variety of small flowers. 

Another sweetie mini colored with Promarkers!!!  So quick and easy to color and add to a card!

Be sure to stop by Barb Hardeman's blog Stampelious to see her creative ideas!  She has been the master of boxes lately and they are all so cute!!!  This week she has an adorable card.  And also check the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to see what is going on there.  We would love to have you join in on the challenges.  Diana always has such generous prizes and the gals on the design team have such awesome inspirational ideas!  So join in and show us some of your stuff!!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!!!

Tilda Longstocking Friend Card

Dr. Monday MD day and I had some papers left on my table from the last project and figured why not use them!  Pippi Longstocking was one of my favorite stories as a kid, so loved when Tilda became a Longstocking too!!!

Find the following at the Magnolia-licious Store:
MINI 228 TILDA LONGSTOCKING
DH 75 PEONIES DIE
DH 9 SUMMER FOLIAGE DIE
DH 73 JOLLY TAGS DIE
IO 55 LEAFY BRANCH DIE
PS 837 DELICATE CHAIN DIE

Instead of actually using the Delicate Chain Diecut, I used the leftover edge.  Makes a nice little border that I used on the top of the little banners and the bottom of the Jolly Tag. Tilda Longstocking is colored with Promarkers.  Along with the above dies I did use Spellbinders ovals and a friends die.  Added some Antique Linen Distress Ink to age and some pearls.

If you haven't checked out the new website redo at Magnolia-licious™, please do!  So nice to see the great layout and everything is so fresh and new!

Thanks for peeking in!  Always appreciate your comments!  Enjoy every day!!!

Sweet Birthday Tilda Card

 

Our Sweet Little Tilda is floating in on a balloon to wish someone Happy Birthday!!!  Dr. Monday MD day with minis and dies!

Some fun dies and mini Tilda are from Diana at Magnolia-licious:

MINI A16 SWEET TILDA WITH BALLOON

MB 146 WHIMSICAL FLOURISH DIE 

MB 203 NORRLAND FLOWER DIES

I've added some white gel pen for accents and a thread bow.  Also used Spellbinder oval dies and Stampin' Up! oval punches.  The paper is some from a long time ago from Deja View.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.  I've also stamped some light green dots around too!

There is another special for the 2nd Volume of the Doohickey Die Club.  Click HERE to check it out and get an order in.  The first round had sold out!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy Every Day!

Heart Window Thanks!

Used the wonderful new Heart Window!  Perfect size for the Minis or could even put a real picture in it!  This is my project for Dr. Monday MD using Minis and Dies.  Gotta love those dies and the variations that can be made with them!

You can find these lovelies at Diana's terrific online store Magnolia-licious:
MINI A19 SUMMER STRAWBERRY TILDA
DH 55 HEART WINDOW DIE
DH 48 JUNGLE LEAVES DIE
DH 61 STRAWBERRY DIES - leaves
DH 75 PEONIES DIES
MB 202 BLOOMING VIOLET DIES
MB 66 PEPITA BORDER DIE
MB 27 FAUNTLEROY CREST DIE
MB 201 A LITTLE THANKS DIE

I've used a couple of strips of the Pepita border to make a lattice type pattern on the bottom.  The Fauntleroy Crest actually has the middle covered up and just the tendrils show.  It is a nice border die for guy cards too!  I've used the Strawberry Die leaves for the leaves for these flowers.  Thought they were a good size to go with the Peonies.  The center of the flowers is one of the dies from the violet set.  I've also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Spellbinder dies.

To make the Thanks stand up from the frame, I cut five layers of the thanks and put them together with a two way glue pen.  Gave it some dimension.

If you missed out on the last Mini Club, there is a new one set up and you can check it out HERE!   Great way to add to our collections and at a such fantastic price!  Diana is a generous soul, so you can be sure to find lots of goodies included!!!

Thanks for stopping by and Enjoy Every Day!

Fourth of July Decoration - Summer Theme Blog Hop

Yeah!!!!   Summer...nice to finally have it here!   If you have come from Chrissy Christensen you are skipping along the right direction.  How cute was her Summer Fun Bucket!!!!  Great idea!!!  If you have come on your own, you will want to start at the beginning so you don't miss any of the fabulous creations from the terrific Design Team of Magnolia-licious.  The order is listed HERE at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.

I've created a Fourth of July decoration using some of the fun dies and a cutie Tilda to perch on the edge!  You can find these and other great things at Magnolia-licious!!!  Here are the links for the things I used:
317 VIRGO TILDA
DH 43 STAR TAG DIE
DH 69 TEA LABEL SHAPES - STAR DIE
DH 14 TRIPLE TAGS DIE
DH  25 GRASS DIE
DH 19 MINI ZIGZAG AND SCALLOP DIE

This Tilda has something in her hand, but I removed it hoping I had a little American Flag to put in her hand, but couldn't find one at the time.  Where I used the grass die might be a little hard to find, but I used blue card stock and it is at the base of the firecracker rockets.  Love those multipurpose dies!!!

Have used skewers to adhere the stars and Tilda to stick inside the jar and also rolled paper around the skewers to make the firecracker rockets.  The letters were from a Sizzlet Alphabet.


Hope you have found some inspiration along your travels through the Magnolia-licious Summer Theme Blog Hop!  This is the last stop on the trip!  If you've left comments on the blogs along the way, you will have a chance at a Surprise Prize from Diana of Magnolia-licious!  Join in with your own Summer Project for another chance to win too!  Details HERE.   Diana is always getting fun new products in, so be sure to stop by the store to check out out the great deals!

Like I mentioned this Birthday Day cuts out beautifully.  I find the printed paper is a little thin, so adhere two layers together and then cut out the die for a little more dimension.  There are three shapes in the Tea Label Shape Dies for a nice variety!  Found the leaves from the strawberry die is a nice size for some of the flowers too!

Appreciate your comments and thank you for stopping by!

Spring Card Box Bouquet

Time to prescribe a little Dr. Monday MD (Minis and Dies) cure for winter!  How about a little springtime!  The Mini Tilda's for the Lost and Found Collection are just the perfect ones to use to give us a little hope for spring!

I've made a Card Box so I could fit in some of the great dies and stamps from Magnolia-licious:
MINI LF 08 FOR YOU TILDA
MINI LF 02 TILDA HIDING ROSE BOUQUET
MINI LF 01 TILDA WITH FANTASY FLOWER
DH 2 PEONY PETALS DIES
DH 29 SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIES
DH 34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIES
DH 31 MINI DOILY DIE
MB 145 LARGE OLIVE BRANCH DIE 

This card box is designed to collapse and lay flat.....IF you put flat things on it!  But of course, I don't do that!  I can't find my original instructions from way back, but Tina at Serenestamper.com has a very nice tutorial.

The Mini Tilda's are colored with Promarkers and I've used Cuttlebug embossing folders on the card stock on the flowers and some of the layering pieces.

Please stop by the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to see Barb Hardeman's prescription today too!  You can also check on the latest challenges and we hope you will join in.

Diana at Magnolia-licious has some great specials going on for Valentine's Day, so you won't want to miss them!

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!

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.

3069 FORGET ME NOT TILDA
34 DH WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS - flowers
44 SWIRLY LACE DIE

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!

Thanks Tilda!

 

I love using the little "sitters" of the Magnolia stamps!  They have their little feet dangling over the edge!  Was going to try and not use flowers, but just couldn't bring myself to leave it without, so used some new dies and some old favorites!

This is my project for Mini Monday over at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge blog.

Here is the cutie stamp and the wonderful dies I used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI 250 SITTING TILDA WITH BUTTERFLY
34 DH WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIES - flowers
9 DH DRAGONFLIES DIE
95 DH VIEW MASTER DIE
113 MB FLUTTER VINE DIE
180 MB MAGIC FLOURISH DIE
201 MB A LITTLE THANKS DIE
837 PS DELICATE CHAIN DIE

The View Master disk is a new Doohickey die and I really like the size of this one.  The Memory Box Delicate Chain cuts such a nice little border, perfect for that little bit of a border.  I've found this Memory Box Magic Flourish die is very handy to also use with the larger butterfly dies.  It can be cut apart and used for antennae or like the butter fly is leaving a swirly trail! 

Tilda and the butterfly were colored with Promarkers and I used Spellbinder oval dies along with some older Stampin' Up background papers.

Since I am a fan of the A2 size card, the minis work so well for them.  Diana at Magnolia-licious offers such wonderful prices on Magnolia items plus many other wonderful products!  Please stop by and check out all the good deals!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer (or winter in Australia!!!)  Thanks so much for stopping by and always appreciate your comments!  Enjoy every day!

Flash Fan

I'm sure you have seen some awesome projects from the Magnolia-licious Design Team for the Summer Themed Blog Hop.  If you've come from the fabulous works of Jane at Jane's Lovely Cards, you've come in the right order.  If you've come on your own, you will want to get the complete list so as not to miss a thing at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.

Now I have to say, I was a little stumped on what to make for the summer themed project.  I decided since I and many of my hot flash friends are toting electric fans with us when we get together for stamping, why not a portable fan with Tilda on it!!!  I made sure I used lots of glue to hold everything in place so it stays together while waving back and forth!!!

From the best online store Magnolia-licious:
3069 FORGET ME NOT TILDA
17 DH SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIE- Leaves
22 DH VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES
81 DH VINTAGE BOX LACING CHOCOLATE DIE
29 DH SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIE 

Be sure to check out the fantastic deals Diana has at the store Magnolia-licious!  She has the best prices and store credit besides!!!  And also terrific customer service!!!

The fan I just cut out by hand and then used the Scor-Pal to put my folds in it.  Have also used a couple of Spellbinders dies, 1/8" and 1/4" hole punches, seam tape for the bow and a wide craft stick for the handle.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.

Please continue on the hop to Julie's at Stamps, Papers, Ribbons n Things.  Oh what wonderful things you will see there!

Thanks so much for stopping by and always appreciate the comments that you take time to leave!!!!  Enjoy every day!

Sweet Little Princess Tilda with Vellum Flowers

Love the look of Vellum and how the score lines accent the petals in the flowers.  This is for the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge.  Too many times we forget about using Vellum and there are so many ways to use it.  Probably not a surprise, but one of my favorite ways is for flowers.  They are so soft and delicate looking.

I've used the following items that I got from that Sweet Lady Diana from Magnolia-licious:
Mini 274 Tilda in Cotton Dress
DH 31 Mini Doily Die
DH 71 Poisettia Die  for the leaves
MB 207 Fabulous Phlox  the flowers

Be sure to check out all the fabulous specials Diana has offered!  She just got in a ton of Memory Box Dies along with this newest collection of Once Upon a Time.  Available in the regular size Magnolia's and the Minis!  Also something new is the Daily Special....fantastic savings!!!!

Magnolia-licious also has a delicious color selection of matching cards and envelopes!  What a quick and easy way to get a card started!  Also new are the Spectrum Noir Marker system.  All the supplies you need to get started or add to your alcohol ink supplies.  What a cost savings over the "other" brand!!!  And they group the colors in sets to make it easy to know what goes together.  Check them out HERE.  Yes, I think less than $2 each versus $7 or $8 a pen is a bargain!!!

Please join us in the Vellum Challenge!  You can find the details at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  Also you find more examples of the wonderful cards the other Design Team members have created for this challenge.   As always a generous prize is being offered by Diana at Magnolia-licious.

Spring has FINALLY arrived for a moment here in Minnesota!  I am going to go out and enjoy the day before it changes on us again!!!

Enjoy every day!!!  Thanks for stopping by and so appreciate the comments you take time to leave!!!

Button, Button, Did I Finally Use a Button?

We have a fun theme today for the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  Buttons, Bows or Beads, or one, two or all three of them!!!  If you are like me, I collect buttons (ha, amongst a few other things!) and so much of the time forget to use them.  So it was time to pull some out and use them.  What?  No flowers???  Well not this time, but I did have the flowers on the printed paper!!!

This cutie Tilda and the pretty border die are from Magnolia-licious:
322 TILDA MAKES A BLUEBERRY BLANKET
36 DH CHRISTMAS LACE DIE

Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and also the heart button.  It was white and needed to be a color!

Have used a couple of Spellbinder dies and added ribbon and string along with the buttons.  The paper was a printed card I just cut off to use for a layer.

We hope you will join us for the challenge!  Find all the details HERE at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog along with inspiration for the other gals on the Design Team.  They always makes the greatest cards and projects!!!
