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

 

 

I am using this project for the following challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge 179 - Christmas in July

Inky Impression #116 - Christmas in July

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Tic Tac Toe (Pearls or Gems, Die Cuts or Punches, Designer Paper)

LEJ Designs Challenge 61 - Christmas in July

Crafts and Me Challenge 138 - Anything Goes

Tilda and Edwin Engagement Congratulations Card

Good morning everyone. Today's post is a card I made specially for one of my co-workers who recently engaged. Congratulations to Chantelle & Asher!!! Therefore, this card is to congratulate her from our office. Because this is not a wedding card, so instead of picking a wedding image, I picked this Loving Bridal Couple and rather than using wedding colors, I picked sort of causal colors. You can purchase this stamp from Magnolia-licious Store.

Here is the finished card

I am also using this card for the following challenges:
Midweek Magnolias Week #9 - May Flowers
CropStop Challenge #70 - Emboss It
Little Miss Muffet Challenge #34 - May Flowers
Paper Play Challenge 12 Week 8 - Use your stamps with pin and pearls

Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge - Stitching
Totally Tilda Challenge #45 - Stitching
Paper Sundaes Challenge #118 - Ribbon and Pearls

Closer view to show you the flower and pins embellishments plus a 'love' charm. I actually dyed this binding ribbon a very very light touch of pink so it doesn't look as pure white.

Because this card is going to sign by quite a few people, so I added an insert sheet and used some Magnolia flower stamps to stamp on the cover page of this signing insert sheet.

Flat view to show you the dimension of this card. As you can see this card is quite thick, so I custom made a simple envelope box to put this card inside.

Here is a quick and simple envelope box for this thick card.

Thank you so much for your visit today and hope to share with you another project soon :o)

Magnolia Holly Tilda Valentines Day Altered Kraft Envelope

Good morning and hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day yesterday. Today I wanted to share an altered project I prepared for work yesterday. Well, last week the social committee of my office planned an event to do something fun for Valentine's Day. We were all given a 9" x 12" business envelope to decorate and to hang it by our cubicles/offices on Valentine's Day for others to put valentines/or goodies into the decorated envelope. Does this bring back some memories on your school days? lol.

I am using this altered envelope for the following challenges:
Little Claire Monthly Challenge #18 - Romance
One Stop Craft Challenge #169 - Hearts and Flowers with Ribbon
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #119 - Valentine's
Daring Cardmakers - Pretty hearts & paper doilies
Fairy Tale Challenge #34 - Love, Love, Love
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #56 - With all my heart
Annabelle Stamps Challenge - Red, Black & White
Stampin with the Dragon Challenge #3 - Inspiration from a photo
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 141 - Valentine's Day
Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #52 - Pick at least 2 colors (black & red)

Here is the pictures of the business envelope before and after when it was decorated. Of course I couldn't resist using one of my Magnolia Tildas to put on this project. I picked Holly Tilda from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dream 2011 Collection. Well she is the same this stamp's name, Tilda is holding the holly which has nothing to do with Valentine's, but I decided to alter her. See pictures below to see the altered part.

The left side picture shows you before I alter the stamp image. The right side is the 'after' picture. I cut out the image and adhered a piece of ribbon on top to cover up the holly. I then added heart shape gems on top to tie with the Valentine's theme.

I've also prepared a bunch of mini jelly belly packs to put into my co-workers' envelopes.

That's all I have to share with you today and thank you for stopping by today and I hope you like this post and somewhat it gives you some inspiration for party favor ideas. See you again soon for more projects sharing :o)
