Flower Shaped Card and New Magnolia Stamp

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show a card for Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for this challenge is

Use 3 or More Patterned Papers

For this creation, I’ve made a flower shaped card using new Magnolia stamp. This stamp is from Magnolia Stamp Club Summer 2015 so I don’t know this Tilda’s name yet. I’ve used 5 patterned papers on this project but unfortunately it’s quite hard to see. The pattered papers were used for green petals, pink petals, brown lacey circle, butterfly, and circle card base.

***Edited***

This stamp is "Free Spirit Tilda" from Boho 2015 collection.

Materials:

• Magnolia Stamp Club Summer 2015 ("Free Spirit Tilda" from Boho 2015 collection)
• Magnolia Doohickey “Butterfly” die
• Magnolia DooHickey Club Volume 4 “Le Jardin”
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacey Circles dies
• Memory Box “Corner Bow” die
• Patterned papers from La’boom, and Lily of the Valley
• Paper flowers and stamen from I Am Roses
• Ranger Stickles “Star Dust”
• Ranger Liquid Pearls “Pink Petal”

The stamped image was coloured with distress ink as usual. The edges of patterned papers were distressed with colours “Vintage Photo”, “Tattered Rose”, and “Peeled Paint”.

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.

My Mailbox

Hello everyone! Today I have a project to share with you. Since I normally live in another place and only go home during the weekends, I made a mailbox so that my sister can help collecting my mails when I’m away from home. I made a box from thick cardboard and selected Tilda with Christmas Letters which was perfect for this project to be a focal point.

Here is my mailbox.

The box was covered with paper which edges were distressed with distress ink “Old Paper” and “Seedless Preserves”. The stamped image was colored with distress ink as usual. This mailbox size is approximately 15x20 cm which fits most sizes of envelops.
