Flowers For You

Hi! Today it’s time for reminder post at Marvelous Magnolia Challenge. The current theme is

Your Favorite Stamp

I have created a criss cross card using Magnolia “Tilda with Rose Basket” stamp from Pink Lemonade 2014 collection. She is one of the cutest Tilda stamps. I decorated the card with paper lace punched by Martha Stewart, Spellbinders and Doohickey dies, and many paper flowers.

This sweet Tilda is colored with distress ink.

Basket die cut from Doohickey club volume 7 really match the stamped image.

The panel inside can be pulled out to write some messages.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

Magnolia Bohemian Peony Tilda Secret Box

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show my new creation for Marvelous Magnolia challenge. The theme for this challenge is

Anything Goes

I’m in the Romance team which will post on the 2^nd week of the challenge. So you have 1 more week to submit your project here.

I made a secret box from the tutorial found on this blog. I really love pattern of the box. 

Materials:

• Magnolia “Bohemian Peony Tilda” stamp from Boho2015 collection
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 4 “Le Jardin”
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Classic Oval Large” Dies
• Lawn Fawn “Grassy Border” die

• Stampendous Frantage “Chunky White” embossing enamel
• Patterned paper Lili of the Valley

I used Bohemian Peony Tilda from the latest Boho 2015 collection on the front. The image was coloured with distress ink by using no-line colouring technique.

Both sides of the box.

The cat outside the window was inspired by my naughty cat.

Here is the inside of the box. I love how the small trays are attached on both sides of the box. I used magnet and metal brad for the closure of the box.

Thanks from the Heart Card & Until We Meet Again Art Journal Page

Hi everyone! Today I have 2 projects to share with you. I made both projects as farewell gifts to my colleague.

The first gift is “Thanks from the Heart” card. I wanted to make a card to say thank you to him since he helped me a lot in the past 3-4 year we had been working together. I think a bouquet is a perfect symbol for thankfulness. I folded a piece of paper and used Martha Stewart “Doily Lace” edge punch to make a cone shape for bouquet. I stamped thank words in different languages using Simon Says Stamp “From Us” clear stamp. Then, I filled in the cone with soft foam hearts to replace flowers in order to match with the theme. The sentiment was stamped with Lawn Fawn “Claire ABCs” clear stamp. Then, attached to card base, pattern paper, and tied the red ribbon to finish the card.

Another project is an art journal page. Everyone in the team was given a piece of paper to write memorial message to him. I think art journal style would fit this purpose. So I made my first art journal page as another gift for him.

Materials:

• Decoupage napkin
• Gesso
• Distress paint “Tarnished Brass”
• Distress ink “Vintage Photo”
• Hero Arts “Old Letter Writing” block stamp
• Inkadinkado “Big Butterfly” block stamp
• Inkadinkado “Floral Wood Cut” block stamp
• Tim Holtz Stamper Anonymous “Flutter” cling stamp
• Stampendous “Timeless Tags” clear stamp
• Making Memories “Great Escape” clear stamp
• WPlus9 “Folk Art Alphabet” die

I started by sticking decoupage napkin to the paper. The gluing process was not perfect however I really loved the wrinkles that napkin created. Then I applied gesso and blended the color with distress paint “tarnished Brass” and distress ink “Vintage Photo”. I used many stamps to create vintage look. These are the old stamps that I stored for years. Since I was not a fan of vintage style, I never made any projects from those stamps before. But I’m glad I had them on the shelf so I could use them to create vintage background on this art journal page.

Then, I made a tag and envelop using a piece of paper and colored with the same colors as the background but using more of Vintage Photo. I will write a memorial message on the tag later. The stamp on the envelop was Tim Holts “Flutter” cling stamp. I don’t have any vintage alphabet items to match this project and I need to get it done by the weekend. My friend was so generous to lend me her WPlus9 Folk Art Alphabet die so I could finish the project in time.

And I completed my first art journal page.

I entered my art journal page to these challenges:

• One Crazy Stamper June Challenge – Anything Goes
• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – For the Love of Plants
• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Friends or Superhero
• Whimsy Stamp Inspirational Challenge # 83 – Anything but asquare card

That’s all for today. Thanks for stopping by and see you later.
