Magnolia Edwin with Christmas Lantern Shaker Card

Hi crafty friends! Today, it’s time for new challenge at Magnolia Forever. The theme for this challenge is

No Pink

I decided to create a Christmas card in male tone to stay away from pink colour. I used the new stamp “Edwin with Christmas Lantern” from the latest collection A Lovely Christmas. Most decorations were from Doohickey Club volume 7 “Holidays are coming”. The snow scene die cut was so cute and I think it would be perfect for shaker card. Here is my creation for this challenge.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Edwin with Christmas Lantern” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 7 “Holidays are coming”
• Spellbinders Nestabilities “Grand Ovals” Dies
• Paper from LOTV
• Embellishments – Pearl stamens/ berries, shaker materials, glitter
• Gesso

When shaking, shaker materials would become falling snow like this.

I enter this card to these challenges:

• All About Magnolia Challenge #8 – All About Sparkle
• Country View Challenge #33 – The Colour Blue
• Craft Heaven Shop Challenge #5 – Layers with an Option (Christmas)

Magnolia Edwin with Lizard Bookmark

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. To share today is the creation I made for new Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme is

CAS – Clean and Simple

To make a project to match this theme, I created a bookmark as a birthday gift for my friend. He loves reading and of course lizards as well. So I used the old Magnolia Edwin with Lizard stamp from Pet/ Animal 2009 collection. Here is the bookmark.

Materials:

• Magnolia “Edwin with Lizard” stamp from Pet/ Animal 2009 collection
• Hero Arts “Large Plaid Pattern” block stamp
• My Favorite Things Die-namics “Pierced Rectangle” STAX dies
• Kraft paper & Blue cardstock
• Embellishments – String, Brad

The image was coloured with distress ink as usual. I used just a few decorations to make the bookmark flat as much as possible. Here is the close up.

I also attached magnet and a thin piece of steel to make the bookmark grip on the book page and would not slip off.

I entered this project to these challenges:

• Boutique Magnolia Challenge #31 – Happy Birthday. This is a birthday gift for my friend. Hope this matches the theme.

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.

I enter this card to these challenges:

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:

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

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

• 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.

Starry Sky Tri-Fold Card

Hi again, everyone. The second share today is the creation I made for new Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme is

I made the midnight sky scene using distress inks; Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. The top part was covered and heat embossed with Judikins embossing powder “Sparkle Diamond” and star shaped rhinestones to make a million stars in the sky.

Inside the card is the space to write the message. I used Magnolia “Shooting Stars Border” stamp from You Are So Special 2011 collection to be the frame of the message.
