Magnolia-licious "W"ednesday!

Happy “W”ednesday, Friends! It’s time for a new “W”ednesday post at Magnolia-licious.

These cards and projects feature the new stamp lines Wee Stamps, Wild Rose Studio, Penny Black, and Candibeans available in the Magnolia-licious store.

My card today features a stamp called “Rosetta” from Wee Stamps created by Sylvia Zet. I love her creative style with these adorable fairy images.

I colored her with Copics and made this card a little shabby chic to show her off with lacy elements, die cuts, pearls, flowers, and some distressing. I added a little Glamour Dust to her wings for sparkle.

Here’s a close-up of my colored image.

Midweek Magnolias - Autumn Colors

Happy Wednesday, Friends! This is my first of two posts today…WOW! I have been really busy making cards and crafts this weekend.

This fun creation is for the Midweek Magnolias Midway Reminder. Our “Autumn Colors” challenge will continue until next Tuesday. I hope you get time to break out those pretty fall papers and colors and join in for a chance to win a Mystery Prize from Magnolia Sweden.

My project features “Tilda with Carrots” from the 2012 Turning Leaves collection. I colored her with Copics as well as a few Touch Twin markers then cut her out leaving a white border so that she would stand out among all the elements of my Fall Décor Screen. I added several other Magnolia stamps from the Turning Leaves collection. My Sunflowers were colored with Copics then sprinkled with brown flock for the centers. The Autumn Oak Leaf and Acorns were heat embossed with Fran-tage embossing powder.

Magnolia-licious Blog Hop

Hello, Friends. Welcome to the Magnolia-licious Blog Hop. If you are hopping along with us and you got here from JANIEL’s blog then you’re on the right track. To start from the beginning, go to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to see the lineup and links to all the wonderful creativity the DT has to share with you.

Our Hop theme this time is FALL or HALLOWEEN! The DT always creates something special that is paper crafted for the Hop.

There are so many things you can make to celebrate Fall or Halloween. I Google everything…so I Googled "Fall craft project images" and it returned so many fun creative ideas. I purchased this adorable little watering can at Michaels and decided to decorate it with all kinds of fun fall elements.

And let me tell ya, I had a devil of a time trying to get good photos...LOL The project is too large for my light box and I had to find the best place to get some natural light which usually isn't a problem around here. But Colorado has had tons of ran this last week and flash floods galore! It is so stinkin’ wet I can’t stand to go out in it. Of course, that would never work around here on the ranch because we have horses, ducks, geese, and chickens to care for on a daily basis. I’m sure you can tell I’m feelin’ a little soggy...LOL

Anywhoo, on to my project…“to lighten my mood”…and to share something fun that might inspire you to join our Blog Hop challenge.

I decorated both sides of my watering can with Magnolia stamps. This one is “Tilda with Lovely Jam” from the 2012 Turning Leaves collection.

This side features "Scooter Tilda" also from the Turning Leaves collection. I colored my images with Copics and used Mod Podge to glue and seal them to the can for durability. Most of the floral/leaf elements I purchased at Michaels but the sunflowers I cut with my Silhouette Cameo adding Flowersoft to the centers.

Here are some close-up shots of my Magnolias.

Don’t forget to leave a comment on any of the DT blogs and/or the Challenge blog for a chance to win a weekly prize. The winner is announced every week during “W”ednesday posts.

You are almost at the end of the hop and your next stop is the very talented...

BLING!

So anything that sparkles and shines is in for a chance to win a Surprise gift from Magnolia-licious.

I decided to color up this cutie, “Summer Wedding Tilda” from the 2013 Special Moments collection. I added some postage stamps from the New York stamp kit for a little bling using silver tinsel embossing powder and Crystal Stickles to Tilda's dress. I love shabby chic style so did some distressing, added some lace, chic pearls and buttons and that’s all there is to it.

Here’s my Magnolia die cut tag that’s hidden behind Tilda. I love the lacy look of this tag. I created the sentiment on my PC with Photoshop and ran the tag through to print it.

Midweek Magnolia Midway Reminder - Shaped Card

Happy Wednesday, Friends! It’s time again for another Midway Reminder for Midweek Magnolias Shaped Card challenge going on until next Tuesday. You have a whole week to make a card that is not square or rectangle. So get crafting and join us for a chance to win a Mystery Prize from Magnolia Sweden. 

 

My shape card is a Seashell and what better Magnolia stamp to use than this cutie, “Tilda on the Beach” from the new Sea Breeze collection. Check out the Magnolia-licious store for new stamps and dies, my favorite place to shop.

 

I cut the card shape with my Cameo and used Maja Designs paper for the beveled edge over my Bazzill card stock. I kept the card simple so the shape shows through using a tag with ribbons, some flowers, and a flourish die. I also colored Tilda with Copics using the no-lines technique.

 

Here are some close ups of the elements of my card.

 

 

This is the flower I made with CREAlies Creative Flowers die No. 23. I love to make my own embellishments when I have time.

 

Here’s a close up of Tilda. I was having a little bit of a sticky challenge with my E11 Copic and changed the tip midstream during coloring so some of the color is a little blotchy. 

Supplies:

Stamps – Magnolia: Tilda on the Beach and Ocean Map

Dies – Magnolia: So Wrapped Tilda Lace Folded Tag, Spellbinders: Scallop frame and Fantastic Flourish, CREAlies: Creative Flowers No. 23, Silhouette Cameo: Seashell by Joel Pilcher

Ribbon/Lace – WOC: Vintage Seam Binding, Eyelet Lace

Flowers – Magnolia, LLC, and Handmade with CREAlies die

Other – Michael’s: Pearl, BoBunny: Sea Star charm

Copic Colors – Skin: E11, E00, E000, R20, R30, Apparel: BG57, BG53, B00, R89, R85, R83, R81, Hair: E25, YR23, Y21, Water: B34, B00, B0000

Ink – Memento: Pink, Distress Ink: Brushed Corduroy, Broken China, Spun Silk 

I hope my card inspires you to join us with a shaped card of your own at Midweek Magnolias. Have a great week!
