Spring Card Box Bouquet

Time to prescribe a little Dr. Monday MD (Minis and Dies) cure for winter!  How about a little springtime!  The Mini Tilda's for the Lost and Found Collection are just the perfect ones to use to give us a little hope for spring!

I've made a Card Box so I could fit in some of the great dies and stamps from Magnolia-licious:
MINI LF 08 FOR YOU TILDA
MINI LF 02 TILDA HIDING ROSE BOUQUET
MINI LF 01 TILDA WITH FANTASY FLOWER
DH 2 PEONY PETALS DIES
DH 29 SWIRLY BUTTERFLY DIES
DH 34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DIES
DH 31 MINI DOILY DIE
MB 145 LARGE OLIVE BRANCH DIE 

This card box is designed to collapse and lay flat.....IF you put flat things on it!  But of course, I don't do that!  I can't find my original instructions from way back, but Tina at Serenestamper.com has a very nice tutorial.

The Mini Tilda's are colored with Promarkers and I've used Cuttlebug embossing folders on the card stock on the flowers and some of the layering pieces.

Please stop by the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to see Barb Hardeman's prescription today too!  You can also check on the latest challenges and we hope you will join in.

Diana at Magnolia-licious has some great specials going on for Valentine's Day, so you won't want to miss them!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate your comments!!!  For comments left, you will be included in a chance for a prize from Diana at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!

Enjoy every day!

Butterfly Border Card

Isn't this the prettiest border die!  And another one that we can use just for the butterflies and flowers!  I know there is lots of winter time left, but we can dream spring will be here soon can't we???!!!

From that Marvelous Magnolia-licious:
MINI 3021 LOVE LOVE LOVE TILDA
MB 03 KENSINGTON BORDER
MB 04 LACE CIRCLE DIE

I've cut out some extra butterflies and flowers and used them to make this more 3D looking.  Have also used the Scor-Buddy to make some accent lines in the background.  You can find that and other fun things HERE.

Tilda is colored with Promarkers and I've used some dots I made from the Viva Decor paper pens.  The Lace Circle Die is perfect for minis.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!

Spring is Right Around the Corner Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the Spring is Right Around the Corner Blog Hop!!!  Doesn't that sound exciting!  Even though we have had a fabulous winter here, the sound of spring coming soon is always welcome!  So glad you could stop by and follow along on our Magnolia-licious Highlites little adventure of Spring inspired projects.  I'm first up, but if you get lost along the way, please click HERE to get the list of all my wonderful teammates....you won't want to miss a single one of the fantastic creations they have made!!!!

The Tilda I've used here is #3012 Tilda with Stuffed Animal.  Sooooo sweet!!!  You can find her at Diana's terrific store Magnolia-licious!!!   Yes, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....Terrific Selection, Terrific Service, and Terrific People!!!  Along with all your Magnolia "needs", Diana is getting more lovely dies in for us too!

On my card, I've also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, some Spellbinder dies and some Punch Bunch, EK Success and Martha punches.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers and Touch markers with a little blue chalk for the clouds.  The  word stamp is out of a Stampin' Up! set.

Daffodils are a sure sign of spring, so I just had to have some of those on my card.  For the curious, here is a picture of the punches I used for the Daffodils.

Now I hope you will follow along and spring on over to that sweet and talented Mindy's blog because she always has such beautiful things to see!!!
