Magnolia Lucky Edwin Howdy Card

Good morning everyone.  Today, I would like do a card sharing to you featuring a stamp from the last collection.  He is Lucky Edwin from the Magnolia Once Upon a Time Collection.  This stamp is from Magnolia-licious, so be sure to check out this collection and also the newest Magnolia Special Moment Collection.
 
I was able to find some cowboy related Sizzix die cuts, (stars, cowboy hat & boots), then I used a matching color twine to tie around the card.  For the word "Howdy", letter is from the Memory Box Parker Upper Alphabet Set. I found the Memory Box alphabet dies are so handy when needing to put words on cards when I can't find the fit sentiment stamp, lol.

I used the Memory Letter Dies to cut this 'Howdy' wording for this card
 
Also I found some old Sizzix die cutter for the boots & hat.

Tripping Flower Tilda Anything Goes Challenge

Good morning everyone. Thank you for stopping by and today is another challenge over at Magnolia-licoius and Wee Stamps Challenge for July and our theme is a very easy ''ANYTHING GOES".   So, just create a project and join us along, is it easy enough? lol
 
For this challenge, I created a card using Tripping Flower Tilda (one of my favorites stamps of the Special Moment Collection) from Magnolia-licious online store.  I colored it with Copic Markers with Prismacolor pencils shadowing.  I am not sure if you noticed that this card has no pattern paper at all.  I only used cardstock and on the card front, I just embossed a piece of white cardstock with some bamboo shape to create an oriental look, then I cut out some cherry blossoms using a cherry blossom punch that I bought from Daiso.
  
Here is my finished card

I picked this fun friendship sentiment that I bought from Scrapbook Expo last time.

Magnolia Bridal Couple Tilda and Edwin Love is in the Air Wedding Card

Good morning everyone.  Thank you for stopping by for my scheduled post today. Lots of traveling lately.  After Japan and Thailand and I am now in Hong Kong.  Today is my husband's niece's wedding here in Hong Kong and we are attending her wedding.  However, I've prescheduled this post and I am going to share the card I made for her.  In fact, I used the same design and made one more card but used a different stamp for my co-worker who is getting married as well in late July/early August.

Here are my finished cards.  The first one is made with the Vintage Bridal Couple stamp from the Special Moments Collection and for the second card with the same design, I pulled one of the old Bridal Couple stamps from the Magnolia-licious online store. I bought this stamp a while ago and thought I would use it again.  I also found one of the Magnolia Sentiment stamps to match the card's theme too. The images are colored with Copic Markers with Prismacolor pencil shadowing. I handmade some flowers and cut out some flourish shapes from a die cut to go along with the flowers for embellishment.

Mini Monday Christmas Tilda gift card envelope

Good morning and happy Monday.  July is such a busy month.  I know I was in San Francisco just a few weeks ago for my nephew's wedding, but now I am in Japan for vacation.  I've been here for a few days and then tomorrow will be off to Thailand for the next few days.  Hopefully I am able to share some vacation pictures with you later.  Meanwhile, I am sharing a project for the Mini Monday over at Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  The Mini Magnolia Stamps project I did is a mini Christmas envelope for gift card.  I used the Magnolia Pattern Paper to create this envelope.

Here is my finished project.  I love this cute Mini Tilda with Little Hat stamp from the Special Moment Collection from Magnolia-licious.  Then I made a flower using the Doohickey Peonies Cutting Die
Here is the finished project

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge 179 - Christmas in July
Inky Impression #116 - Christmas in July

Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Some Like it Hot Challenge Stair Step Card

Good morning everyone. Thank you for stopping by and today is another challenge over at Magnolia-licoius and Wee Stamps Challenge for June and our theme is ''Some Like It Hot". That means, you can create a project about the heat of summer fun. 
 
For this challenge, I created a stair step card using Delightful Tilda from the Special Moment Collection that I got from the Magnolia-licious online store. Then I included the Mini Tilda Longstocking stamp form the Once Upon a Time Collection.   Since this challenge is related to Summer, I then found a couple of stars and adhered twine to make the Mini Tilda to hold them as she is playing the balloon outdoor.  I colored it with Copic Markers with Prismacolor pencils shadowing.
 
 
I am using this card for the following challenges:
Inspire Me Fridays #110 - Anything Goes
4 Crafty Chicks #149 - Dry Embossing
Get Inky Challenge #8 - Summer Sun Fun
Make It Monday #148 - Anything Goes

I added a pair of flip flops embellishment and wrote 'summer fun' on this card.  The grass is cut from the Doohickey Grass Die.
 
Here is the top, the sun & cloud dies are cut from a Lalaland Cloud, Sun and Island Set.
