Tomorrow is a Blank Page


Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you using a stamp from the Magnolia Graduate and Student Collection 2009.


For my card I stamped the Tomorrow Sentiment from the Magnolia Graduate and Student Collection 2009 using memento tuxedo black ink and cut it out using a labels 2 die. While it was still in the die I sponged it with antique linen and vintage photo distress inks. The DP is from basic grey and I sponged around the egdes of each element with distress inks. I used the scalloped stitched lace doohickey die for the decorative edge and the so wrapped lovely die for the tags. I sponged each tag with distress ink and I stamped them with the Old Valentine letter background stamp from the Magnolia Valentine Collection 2009. I finished off with a doily, some lace, flowers, twine, a brad and some pearls.

Walter the Moose


Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you using a mix of new Magnolia stamps and older ones!


For my card I used Walter the Moose from the new Magnolia Turning Leaves Collection 2012 and he is coloured with distress inks. The DP is from MME and although it isn't christmas DP I think it works quite well, being red and green!! The sentiment is the post vintage merry christmas stamp from the Magnolia So Jolly & Under the Mistletoe Collection 2009 and it is stamped in memento rich cocoa ink. I used doohickey dies to cut out the tags and swirls and I added some ribbon and gold bells to the tags.


Finally, a close up of the tags. They have been distressed with vintage photo distress ink and one is stamped with Love Holly and the other with sweet snowflakes from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011.

Tilda with a Gift for You


Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you featuring some stamps from the new Magnolia Turning Leaves Collection 2012.


For my card I have used a fab layout that I saw on Claudia's blog, I think it is a great layout that you can use to show off your mini stamps and accessory stamps and you can also use up some small (ish) strips of DP that you may have left. I have used Tilda with a gift for you as my main image and she is from Magnolia Turning Leaves Collection 2012 and is coloured with copics and highlighted with stickles. The DP is from Colorbok and I have used doohickey dies to create the decorative edges on the pockets.


I cut four tags using two different doohickey dies and I added a brad into each hole....I thought adding ribbon to all of them would be a bit much.



Finally, a photo of all the tags..... I have used Mini Scooter Tilda and Mini Tilda with Daisies and Mushrooms..... for the sentiments I used the Limited Edition Text Stamp from the Turning Leaves Collection and Have a Sunny Day from the Summer Memories Collection 2012, I then used the large and small Autumn Sunflowers to create a border. All of them are coloured with copics.

Supplies
Card/Paper: Blue and white card. Colorbok - Sorbet
Stamps: Magnolia - Turning Leaves and Summer Memories Collections 2012.
Colouring: Copics - sorry no list of colours!
Embellishments: Brads, ribbon, stickles
Tools: Trouvaille, Doohickey Dies, nesties, bow easy
