Another Winter Birthday Card

Wanted to make another Winter Birthday card with the new Snowflake tag and another cutie from the Winter Wonderland Collection.

Find these at Magnolia-licious:
MINI WW 13 NORTH POLE TILDA
DH 94 SO WRAPPED SNOWFLAKE DIES
DH 44 SWIRLY LACE DIE
DH 69 TEA LABEL SHAPE DIES
BOW-IT-ALL

You get a bonus with this snowflake tag set, you get an extra little tag and a snowflake too!  Love the shape of this snowflake and hmmmm thinking it might also make a great center on a flower!!!  Always looking for spikey/pokey things for the center of flowers.  The corners were cut from the scallop circle from the tags set.

The minis fit perfectly for these tags and so quick to color!  You can put a secret little message in the tag or you can just make a card front and have your sentiment inside the tag!

I've colored with Promarkers, used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background and added the pearls.  The double bow was made with the Bow-It-All that Diana carries at the Scor-Pal site.   Sure makes it easy to get a nice even bow of any size!!!  And it has a 20% discount right now!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

Happy Spring Tilda Tag

Now who isn't happy it is finally getting to some signs of spring!  Tried a little experimenting and did some things I haven't done before.  For our Spring Themed DT card for Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog, I decided to try coloring with pencil on kraft card stock and delve into a tad bit of the mixed media.  Didn't do much, have to take baby steps!!!  Saw these tags and thought I would try one with our Maggies!

Most of the lovely and fun products I used are from Diana's Magnolia-licious Store:
250 TILDA WITH BUTTERFLY DRESS
553 CHICKEN WIRE
72 DH CUTE CORNER DIE
4 DH LEAF AND SWIRL DIE
17 DH SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DIE
29 DH SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIE
36 DH CHRISTMAS LACE DIE
136 MB PARKER UPPER ALPHABET SET DIES
75 DH PEONIES DIES
68 DH CLOVER WITH FLOWER DOOHICKEY DIES

So many new dies, that I just loved!  The cute corner die I used at the top of the tag....sooo pretty along with the Christmas lace border die down the left side.  Definitely not only for Christmas.  The Parker Upper alphabet is so easy to use and just the perfect size for us card makers.  I know I'll make good use out of all of these!  Stop by Diana's store and see all the great stamps and dies she has on hand and the terrific specials!

Please join us for this All About Spring challenge.  Find all the details at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Also for the wonderful comments you take time to leave!

Enjoy every day!

12 Mini Magnolia Tags of Christmas

This was a great way to get a bunch of tags done at one time!  I pulled out a bunch of my Mini Magnolia images, dies and punches along with 4 colors of card stock.  Cut out 12 tags 2 1/2" x 5" then started coloring, die cutting and punching out things.  Didn't have anything special for the tags, just cut the card stock out at the 2 1/2" x 5", cut off one corner with a scissors, took the piece I cut off and laid it on the opposite side to cut the other corner off.  Then punched a whole for the ribbon too.  Easy tag!!!  You certainly could make any size you want!  The basket was something I picked up at Michael's a long time ago.

I did also use the reinforcement circle die from the #1 VINTAGE TAG DOOHICKEY DIE along with a few different Spellbinder dies and some embossing folders.  Images are colored with Promarkers and accented with white gel pen.

As you can see the minis work nicely on these, but regular size could be used too.  I've tried to make links to the ones available, but some are out of stock.  If you are interested in ones out of stock, please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious.  These images were from the Sweet Christmas Dreams of 2011 and available soon the Mini A Christmas Story collection would work equally as well on the tags.  So many adorable images in that collection!!!!  Diana also has a terrific buy on a very nice Mini Christmas Collection Bundle right now too!

These were fun to do and hope everyone will give them a try too!  I think they will make a nice little gift package.

Enjoy every day!
