Secret Tilda Flower Card

A good day for a blog hop isn't it???  Hope you are enjoying seeing some different shaped cards---ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE OR RECTANGLE from the design team for Magnolia-licious!!!  Wasn't Ruby's centerpiece adorable???  She is so very creative and does amazing coloring!!!  What an awesome job on Freedom Liberty Tilda!  If you stopped by on your own, you can find the details and start from the beginning at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

Used a Spellbinders flower die to create my card shape making sure I had my fold just inside the cutting edge of one petal.  You can see on the left, that one is a little straighter than the other petals.  This shaped card would work nicely with the mini stamps too!!!

#3060 SECRET TILDA has always been one of my many favorite Tilda's and figured she would be cute standing in front of this huge flower!  Thought this forget me not paper would work well for paper piecing, so used it in the background and Tilda's little outfit and bow!  HERE is a link to the mini papers.

Made some matching flowers out of a Punch Bunch corner punch.  Used a white gel pen and yellow liquid applique for the center.  Don't heat the applique, just poke a center hole after it has set up.  Also used an EK punch for the leaves, another Spellbinder die for the white lacy circle and a Hero Arts stamp for the happy birthday.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers.

That Sweet Lady Diana always has some awesome specials going on at Magnolia-licious!!!  She offers a customer credit besides the discounts and then runs extra special deals too!!!  Always looking out for us, she has the Mini Sentiments for an extra special deal and be sure and check out the mini combos and bundles she is offering right now too!  The latest mini collection of Turning Leaves is here.

For inspiration and to continue on the hop, you will be heading to Suzanne's blog where you will find her fantastic work and I'm sure a good story or two!!! 

Thanks for hopping by and enjoy every day!

Summer Flower Tilda Card

Have used more papers from the Doodlebug paper pad.  Easy to put things together that way!!!  Colored this Mini Magnolia cutie with Touch and Promarkers and of course had to add some things cut out with dies!!!  I am soooo addicted!!!!  Yup, a new Doohickey Flower and Leaf die!!!  Simple yet I love the unique shapes.  Matches the Heartflower stamp images.

Now using hot pink and lime green is not my usual modus operandi, but it was really rather fun and so easy because the papers all coordinated!

The fun things I've used from Magnolia-licious are:
265 MINI SUMMER FLOWER TILDA
68 CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIE
66 MB PEPITA BORDER DIE

Special deal with Mini Summer Flower right now!!!  Love the delicate border the Pepita die creates!

Have also used a Spellbinders flower die and the Doodlebug glitter brads to match the glitter paper!

The dies cut through the glitter paper beautifully!  Sparkle and shine!!!!

Have a few more cards coming!
Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

When I used this mini fence I noticed the leftovers made a nice border edge....Woohoo three dies in one!!!  I love it when I get more than the original intention from a product!!!  Also Diana has a great selection of other fence and die stamps HERE and some of these will make some great "extra" borders too!

A very good friend gave me a package of these great Doodlebug papers...Thank You again Dear Friend!!!  The images are colored with Promarkers, the friend to friend stamp is Stampin' Up and the corner punches are EK Success.

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.

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!!!

It's a Beautiful Day!

 Just a quick post today.  After using the Stardreams paper on my last project, I decided I should finally use this wonderful Magnolia Butterfly along with some DooHickey die cut flowers.

Diana has also just put into her inventory some fabulous new Poppy Stamps and Memory Box dies along with some of the new DooHickey, so be sure to check them out at Magnolia-licious!

I've used:
#416 LARGE BUTTERFLY
#4 LEAF AND SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
#36 VINTAGE DAISIES DOOHICKEY DIES
#47 SPRUCE SPRIG DOOHICKEY DIE
#65 SUMMER FOLIAGE DOOHICKEY DIE  This is a brand new die and isn't the one I used, but would work perfectly

Have also used a Spellbinders label die, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Promarkers and an Inkadinkadoo stamp.

All for now!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!!!

Lacy Flowers for the Wedding

Hope you are enjoying the Magnolia-licious Highlites Hop for June with a Wedding theme.  Haven't they been awesome projects!!!!  If you are following along the hop, you would have come from Barb Hardeman's Stampelicious blog.  Don't ya just love her candle!!!

I have this card made with all the wonderful Magnolia DooHickey dies that I love from Magnolia-licious.  My favorite online store for the best prices and selections of all things Magnolia and more!  Really nice people too!!!  Dies happen to be my latest, well one of my latest addictions lately and Diana is carrying some other fantastic dies like Poppystamps and Memory Box too!

Here are the wonderful DooHickey Dies and the links:

#2 PEONY PETALS

#4 LEAF AND SWIRL

#8 DOILY FLOWERS

#24 DREAM TAG

#29 SWIRL BUTTERFLY

#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS

#35 VINTAGE KEYS

#46 VINTAGE MISTLETOE

I see a couple of the dies are out of stock at the moment, but there are many to choose from that will work just as well or even better!

Found this lovely little gift box in my stash from a long time ago.  Don't even remember where I got it.  Frank's Nursery and Crafts????  They are long gone!  Figured it was about time I used it and it just cried out for flowers on top of it!

I've run the Peony Petals thru the Cuttlebug with the dotted embossing folder.  Used a Cheery Lynn lattice die in the background and did a little coloring with Promarkers on the flowers, leaves and butterfly.  The word stamp is an old Stampendous stamp.  Added a few half pearls.  Can't see any Tilda's or Edwins on the outside, but maybe, just maybe they are hiding inside!!!  :)

You will want to head over to Ruby Montes, And That's All She Wrote blog.  Now she knows how to put some color into things!!!!  Truly amazing work!!!
