Magnolia Tingla Bright Colors Baby Party Celebration Card

Good morning everyone. Today We have a cold week and the weather is getting colder and colder. Winter is coming soon. Our summer is so short and I do miss the warm weather and hot sun. Because of the cold weather, I wanted to make a card with some bright and warm colors. Today I am sharing you a baby/child card with all the bright colors (only because I miss the warm weather).

Here is my finished card. I used two stamps (one for the front and one for the inside). The baby theme stamps are TINGLA WITH BUNNY SLIPPERS and SLEEPING BABY TINGLA from MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS. There are some more cute Tingla stamps that you can get from Magnolia-licious too if you are planning to do some baby theme projects.


I am using this card for the following challenges:
Sweet Stampin Challenge - Birthday
Pattie's Creations Challenge 33 - Birthday or Thanksgiving
Crafty Purple Frog Challenge 28 - Use orange
Just Magnolia Week 133 - Ribbon
Southern Girls Challenge 32 - Bingo (Die cuts, Gems, Ribbon)
Freshly Brewed Challenge - Anything goes
Inspire Me Fridays 33 - Anything Goes

Here is a closer view of this Tingla with Bunny Slipper image. I did a cloud background for her.

Magnolia Snowy Hug Tilda Winter Double Pocket Card

Happy week everyone. Today is first Magnolia-licious Color Challenge in November. This color challenge is hosted by our talented fellow DT sister PAT. Pat would like to challenge you to created a project using the colors BLUE & SILVER. (see the sample color pic below)

If you creation a project with these color and join us along at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog this time, you can be the lucky winner to win a $25.00 Magnolia-licious gift certificate.

This time, I made a double pocket card using these two colors and the Snowy Hug image from Magnolia-licious. In fact, this is the first time I tried to make a double pocket card. Mostly the double pocket card is rectangle due to the way and the sizes. I couldn't do one in square size. Since I wanted to do a square card, therefore, what I did was I created a regular double pocket card, then I cut away the backing and adhered it on the square card front.

Here is the finished card.


I am using this project for the following challenges:
Bah Humbug Challenge 43 - Snowmen
Magnolia Monday 26 - Anything Goes
Card Makin Mamas 32 - Cut it Out
Make It Monday 62 - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenge #19 - Anything Goes
Catch the Bug Challenge - Anything Goes
Inspire Me Fridays - Anything Goes

Magnolia Tilda Christimas 3D Tea Light Holder Decoration

Hello everyone!! I have lots of stamps from the Sweet Christmas Dream Collection from Magnolia-licious. Here is another project I made with some of these cute stamps. It's a Christmas tea light holder decoration. I form this box with four pieces of coasters. Punched holds with Bind It All, connected each piece with ribbons, then created the inside using Tilda with Cross Stitch Heart and Midwinter Tilda. The trees were cut out from the Doohickey Spruce Cutting Die. I painted some white texture on top to create some snow effect. The box for the candle folded using a 5" x 5" DP. Some of the pattern paper is from the Sweet Christmas Dream Paper Pack.

This is my finished project.

Here is a view shows you that I score a 5" x 1" inch DP at every 1". Fold all the score lines to form a square tube to sit Tilda on top.

Here are some closer views to show you some embellishments I added on this Christmas tea-light deco. I put a strip of "crepe paper", then I added a lace trim on top of the crepe paper.

Magnolia Tilda Christmas Advent Calendar Box

Good morning everyone. Today I would like to share a 3D project with you and it is also my first published project. This project appeared on Magnolia Ink Magazine - my favorite magazine. I am so excited and thankful about this :o)



Here is the complete post of my finished project which I've spent over a month to get it completed. It is a Christmas advent calendar box. This project used a regular size Jolly Tilda and four Mini Tilda stamps. The little drawers were cut from Sizzix match box die. I spent a lot of time folding and assembling the drawers together, then the embossing part took quite a bit of time too. I added a shape easel card on top of this box.

Here is a closer view and the view of this regular sized Jolly Tilda.




Here are some closer view showing you the four sides of this box.

Thank you for stopping by today and hope to share with you another project soon :o)
