Mini Monday Christmas Tilda gift card envelope

Good morning and happy Monday.  July is such a busy month.  I know I was in San Francisco just a few weeks ago for my nephew's wedding, but now I am in Japan for vacation.  I've been here for a few days and then tomorrow will be off to Thailand for the next few days.  Hopefully I am able to share some vacation pictures with you later.  Meanwhile, I am sharing a project for the Mini Monday over at Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  The Mini Magnolia Stamps project I did is a mini Christmas envelope for gift card.  I used the Magnolia Pattern Paper to create this envelope.

Here is my finished project.  I love this cute Mini Tilda with Little Hat stamp from the Special Moment Collection from Magnolia-licious.  Then I made a flower using the Doohickey Peonies Cutting Die. 

Here is the finished project

Hot Air Ballnoon Magnolia Tilda and Edwin Wedding Center Piece

Good morning everyone.  Thank you for stopping by for this is a pre-scheduled post.  Today is my nephew Victor's wedding and I am currently in San Francisco attending his wedding. Congratulations to VICTOR & JOCELYN!!! I am going to share with you a centerpiece I made for them.  This project actually took me a LONG time.  I bought this Hot Air Balloon template from Sandra's Scrapshop.  This shop has so many cool templates, so I am sure you will have fun checking it out.  I actually finished this balloon for a while, but had a hard time choosing my stamp to use for this project, so I sort of half finished, then left it on my craft desk for a while before I picked it back up to finish it off.  Good thing that the Special Moment Collection has the Doo Bee Pops Bride Tilda, I used it embellish the top part of this project, then I found the Loving Bridal Couple Stamp (the Mini one is still available)  to fit inside the balloon.

Mini Monday Magnolia Mini Tildas Floral Secret Box

Good morning and happy Monday.  Today is another Mini Monday over at Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  The Mini Magnolia Stamps project I did is a secret box.  You can find it's tutorial HERE or yo can check outmy DT sis Norma's Blog HERE for a taller verison.

I've made this secret box to hold some of my smaller handmade flowers.  I also used some of the handmade flowers to embellish this project. I was able to pick some Tilda stamps that she holds flowers to match up with the floral theme of my project.  The three mini stamps are: Mini Tilda Brings Flower, Mini Tilda with Spring Bundle, Mini Tilda with Daisy.  Instead of leaving the top cover open, I did a 'lid' for this and it actually closed the box better.

 

I am using this project for the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew Challenge 34 - Handmade Flowers

Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia 67 - Spring

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 180 - Embossing

 

Here is the view when the box is opened.  Instead of leaving the top cover open, I did a 'lid' for this and it actually closed the box better.  The lid is made with a piece of 3 1/2" square and score at 1/4" for all four sides Besides the stamp topper, I added all the flowers I made these past few weeks.

Magnolia Love Collection 2012 Valentine's Candy Book Box

Good evening eveyone and hope you are having a nice weekend.  Today I am posting a project that I worked on for a few days. and it is a Valentine's Book Box.  When I saw the candy book box tutorial over at the Scor-Pal's Blog HERE, I just love it and decided to try one.  However, I wanted to do a smaller box, therefore, wth the same concept of that tutorial, I made mine an inch smaller.  The handmade paper flowers you see on this box are made with the Magnolia Pattern Paper and the Cheery Lynn Cherry Blossom Die.  The large flower has 2 large and 2 small petals.  The small flower has 3 small petals. I sponged some distressing ink on each petals before layering them, then added a pearl in the centre.  Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the list of material for this project.
