Magnolia Tilda Teddy Bear Love Gift Box

Happy Monday everyone. From lots of happy mails last week with all those new stamps, I am still working on some of them from the 2012 Princes and Princesses Collection stamps from Magnolia-licious. One of these stamp I used and finished a gift box for today's sharing is Teddy Bear Love stamp. This one is Tilda holding a teddy bear and right away, I thought of making a gift box particularly to hold a teddy bear. Some time ago, I came across and brought an instruction of THIS CUTE TRAVEL TRIO suitcase, but never got a chance to try it out. When I finished colored the Teddy Bear Love stamp, I thought it would be a great time to try this box out.

Here is the finished gift box that can hold the Teddy bear on the left.

Full view of the lid cover of this box. I embossed the background DP with a Cuttlebug embossing folder to add some texture on the DP, then added some flower from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here is a closer view to show you some of the embellishments/accents I used on the cover such as the embossed tag from Magnolia Doohicky Cutting Die and the floral frame die cut from Memory Box.

Tilda's Family Vintage card

Good morning everyone. Wow, I received so many stamps of the new Princes & Princesses 2012 Collection from Magnolia-licious Store yesterday. I almost couldn't wait to color them. However, when I just got ready to ink them up, I started having a fever, so I had no choice but stopped everything and curled up on my bed. After a day of rest, right after I finished work today, I couldn't wait to ink some of these images.

I colored a few images, but used one of them to make a vintage card to share with you today. The image I picked for today's card is Tilda's Family. Since I haven't make a vintage card for a while, I decided to do one. Ta-da, here is my finished card.

Magnolia Tilda with Koala Card

Good morning everyone. Since the weather is warmer and the sky getting brighten, I feel like doing a bright coloring card with lots of blings. I have my eyes on Koala Hug Tilda for a while, but since it was not available to purchase in Canada at the time, I decided to just wait patiently. Finally it is available at Magnolia-licious, of course I needed to get it right away. However, due to my busy workload, I couldn't get to post this card until now.

I am also going to use this card for the following challenges:
Scrapper's Delights Challenge - Bling It Up
Craft Catz Weekly Challenge #122 - Punches and Dies
Totally Tilda Challenge #41 - Tilda with die cuts and punches
Crafting When We Can Challenge #13 - Animals
Catch the Bug Challenge - Anything Goes
Inspire Me Friday #48 - Anything Goes
Cupcake Craft Challenge #182 - Yellow & Red

Here is my finished card. Can't you tell how fun I had putting all those bling gems on this card? lol. I also added the MB Wrought iron gate die cuts behind the image to add some contrast on the empty space.

Magnolia-licious Highlite Move-n-Groove Challenge

Good morning everyone. Today, I finally can inform you officially that I am the new member of the Magnolia-licious DT. I couldn't have enough words to describe how excited I am, to be able to join with a talented group of ladies :o)

Today is March 1st and it's time for the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge and it is also my first time to be part of the DT posting a project. Our hostess this month is the sweet Sharon and her challenge is "Move-n-Groove". That's to create a project that moves, pulls, pops or opens in some way.

I looked around and found this POP-UP STAGE TUTORIAL, and decided to try it out. Looking around my Magnolia Stamps and found quite a few images that I can use on this card. I am also using this card for other challenges. Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the challenges.

Here is the front of my pop up card. Since Easter is coming up soon, I picked Tilda with Bunny from the Magnolia Easter theme stamps.


I used the 60'S TILDA from the 2009 Yummy for Your Tummy Collection, put her on the Stone Wall with End Wall Pillar, with the Oval and Tree Background. Filled the Chickens around inside of this card.


Here are closer view of the Tilda images on the front and inside of this card.

I added some punched grass to the front of this stage.

Explore Tilda Spring Card for Magnolia-licious Inspiration Challenge

Hello every one. Today is wonderful Norma's turn to host again and it's for the Magnolia-Licious Inspiration Challenge. She would like the participant to create a project using the following inspiration photo. Remember to be one of the lucky winner to win a $25.00 Gift Certificate from Magnolia-licious Store, all you have to do is to create a project using the inspiration picture below.



Here is my finished card. Sometimes ago, I saw a card from Mindy's Blog and OMG, her coloring is so gorgeous. I thought what a great idea doodling the grass around Tilda and always wanted to try it myself. The other day, I checked my Magnolia stamps from Magnolia-licious Store and found my Explorer Tilda, so I decided to try that and create a grass field for her with my Copic markers.


I am also using this card for some other challenges. Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the challenges.

I added some diamond glaze on the magnify glasses to create a shiny effect, then added some blings on the insects.
