Sweet Pastel Present Shaped Card

Hi crafty friends! It’s time for Marvelous Magnolia reminder post today. The current challenge is

No Fall Colours

You have 1 more week to submit your project here.

To stay away from fall colours like yellow, orange, and brown, I selected pastel blue, purple, and pink for this project as they are my favourite colours. And I’m glad this theme is not for autumn because I really wanted to use new Magnolia stamps which are in Christmas theme. I used one of the stamps from the Fall 2015 Stamp club. This is “Lace Hood Tilda” from the new preorder A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection. She is holding a Christmas gift box so I create a present shaped card to match with the image.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Lace Hood Tilda” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection
• Magnolia “Christmas Tag Packages” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection
• LOTV “Christmas Wishes” clear stamp set
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 7 “Holidays are coming”
• Magnolia Doohickey “Christmas Tags” die
• Magnolia Doohickey “Cozy Fern and Snowflake” die
• Magnolia Doohickey “Spruce” die
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Classic Oval Large” Dies
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Floral Ovals” dies
• Lawn Fawn “Puffy Star Stackables” Dies
• Cuttlebug “Swiss Dots” embossing folder
• Paper flowers and Stamens
• Stampendous Frantage “Shabby Blue” embossing enamel
• Ranger Stickes “Diamond”
• Embellishments: Ribbons, Lace, Pearl string, Rhinestone, Chandelier
• Gesso

The stamped images were coloured with distress ink as usual. I added gesso lightly to soften the colours down to get sweet shabby chic look. Here is the close up. 

The lid of the present box can be pulled out to write the message inside.

Black Cat Tag

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. It’s time for Marvelous Magnolia reminder post today. The current challenge is

Use Some Black

You have one more week to submit your black project here.

I think this challenge would fit a Halloween theme. So I made a black cat tag from old Magnolia “Jasper” stamp from A Christmas Story 2012 collection. It’s fun to adapt the Christmas stamp for other occasion. Here is my creation.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Jasper” stamp from A Christmas Story 2012 collection
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 6 “Harvest”
• Magnolia Doohickey “Paris Night” die
• Die-Versions “Downhill” die font
• Patterned paper Glitz Design
• Embellishments: Ribbon, Spider embellishment, Paper flower, Wiggle eyes

The stamped image was coloured with distress ink by using no-line colouring technique because I wanted the cat’s eyes to be yellow like most black cats. Here is the close up of the tag.

• All About Magnolia Challenge #7 – Autumn
• As You Like It Challenge – Monochrome or Colour. Bright colours always catch my eyes.

Autumn Paper Bag

Hello crafty friends! 

October has come. I wish I'm watching leaves and trees turning yellow like in many countries but it’s just hot and wet all year in Thailand. To share today is my project I created for the new Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for this challenge is

Autumn

I picked up a shopping paper bag and altered it with autumn theme decorations. I stamped Tim Holtz “Leaf Line” rubber stamp with distress ink “Vintage Photo”, “Spiced Marmalade”, and “Scattered Straw” onto a piece of kraft paper cut from another paper bag to make autumn patterned paper. I really loved the result. Most decorations are die-cuts from Magnolia Doohickey Club volume 6 “Harvest”. I used Magnolia stamp “Chic Fringe Tilda” from latest Boho collection and old “Hiking Background” to be an image for this project.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Chic Fringe Tilda” stamp from Boho 2015 collection
• Magnolia “Hiking Background” stamp from Turning Leaves 2012 collection
• Tim Holtz “Leaf Line” wood mounted stamp
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 6 “Harvest”
• Kraft paper, Crepe paper, and Brown burlap
• Paper flower, paper brown leaves, and dried wheat
• Stampendous Frantage “Chunky White” embossing enamel
• Embellishments: Ribbon, Button, string

The image was coloured with distress ink as usual. Here is a close-up.
