La La Land Crafts Irish Marci Best of Luck Card

Good morning everyone and happy Monday to you.  Today is another challenge over at La-La-Land Crafts Blog and this week's theme is "Button and Bow".

Here is my finished card.  I found a bag of green buttons in my craftroom the other day and they are just great to use with this challenge :o)

Magnolia-licious Use Vellum Challenge Tilda Card

Good morning everyone.  I hope you enjoyed my projects I shared yesterday.  Well, today is another challenge over at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  This time's challenge is to create a project USE VELLUM.  I don't usually use vellum, so I struggle a little with the idea.  However, I came up with stamping the Mini Sparkling Tilda in red ink on three pieces of vellum, use some red chalk on her cheeks.  Cut open three windows on the same pattern paper and insert the three stamped vellum pieces behind the opening, then I inked up the Litte Cute Tilda of the newest Magnolia Once Upon a Time Collection from Magnolia-licious.  I also want to mention the feather and flowers emnbellishment combo on this card.  They were made with the Doohickey Feathers Cutting Die and the Doohickey Peonies Cutting Dies

Here is the finished card

I've made this secret box to hold some of my smaller handmade flowers.  I also used some of the handmade flowers to embellish this project. I was able to pick some Tilda stamps that she holds flowers to match up with the floral theme of my project.  The three mini stamps are: Mini Tilda Brings Flower, Mini Tilda with Spring Bundle, Mini Tilda with DaisyInstead of leaving the top cover open, I did a 'lid' for this and it actually closed the box better.
 
I am using this project for the following challenges:

Here is the view when the box is opened.  Instead of leaving the top cover open, I did a 'lid' for this and it actually closed the box better.  The lid is made with a piece of 3 1/2" square and score at 1/4" for all four sides Besides the stamp topper, I added all the flowers I made these past few weeks.


 Here is the box is closed, but without the cover lid.

Magnolia Golden Creek You Are My Star Card

Good morning everyone.  Thank you for visiting my blog today.  Have you look at the new Magnolia Once Upon a Time Collection over at Magnolia-licious yet? Also some of the new Doohickey Cutting Dies are available for pre-order now.  The stamp I picked for today's card sharing is the Golden Creek Background.  There is also a perfect "Lucky Edwin" stamp for this background.  Unfortunately which is out of stock right now, but please be sure to check back the store for availability. 
 
 This is a simple card I did.  I colored this image with Copic makers, but also used some Prismacolor Pencils for shadowing.  I found some fabric letters from stash and thought I should use them up. 

 
I am also using this card for the following challenges:
Cards for men Challenge 8 - Anything Goes
MIM #136 - Anything Goes
