Magnolia Christmas Stocking~Avent Calender Blog Hop Day 23

Merry Christmas to all my friends and Magnolia fans around the world!!! Today is my host for Magnolia avent calender no.23rd. I am so happy that I have this chance to share the Christmas moment with all of you and more excited...we are giving and sharing with the most spectacular Magnolia creations!!!!

I had made a christmas stocking as a ornament to hang on my christmas tree. I have my two kids that done the christmas tree decoration in their own, I just shouted " Let's decorate the tress",  but I didn't do anything...this is the advantage to have kids that can do their thing without our help....and my...they are growing and time past so fast....I am old and they are grown...haha....what the life.....Okay....back to our Magnolia christmas stocking.....

这个像不像圣诞袜子呢？应该是一个反传统的袜子吧！袜子其实是一张纸皮然后再贴上美编纸（ patterned paper）。

I used two mini stamps that are so beautiful and cute:-) I used distress inks ink pad to color the stamped image, for the wings, I just left it blank and put some Ranger Ice stickles on them.

I downloaded a christmas stocking template and trace it on Magnolia patterned paper.

I also sewn the stocking's edges with my mini sewing machine. I also glued lace on the edge's of christmas stocking, it will give them shabby chic looks, don't you think so ?

这两个是微型Tilda，采上颜色后，剪下，涂上水晶浆糊（ Ranger Ice Stickles)。我把袜子的边沿“车边”然后再粘上蕾丝。

I cut my spellbinders lacey circle die with cuttlebug machine to use it as a mat for colored Tilda. I also used distress inks to color this cute Tilda, then added Ranger Ice stickles on the wings, lace and star. I made my snowflakes with spellbinders snowflakes dies and added some ice stickles on them.

圆形的底和雪花石用Spellbinders dies 并以cuttlebug切割而成，再涂上水晶浆糊。

Lastly , for the wording, I placed a corrugrated paper sanded with Distress ink -Walnut Stain as a base. I stamped the wording  A greeting of Love on white cardstock, sponged with Vintage Photo distress ink.Placed three rhinestones as a final touch.

利用复古印台把字句印章印出，再渲染。

I wish to take this opportunity to say a thousand times of ~~Thank you, Gratitude, Tack Tack, 谢谢 to all my friends and Magnolia fans around the world, all your lovely comments , support, concern, gift, crafting supplies that you given to me, I can't express in words...because of YOU , I create and blog until today, because of YOU, I can move on with my Magnolia creations:-)) I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and new year and I also hope that you are always healthy too:-))

Secret Tilda Tag~ What's secret?

This tag is made from a product packaging..read through this post then you will know the secret behind it....This christmas stamp is very versatile, we can even use it to make all occasion cards:-)

I used Magnolia "Angel Love" patterned paper to cover the packaging, it was fun to do the layering with doily, ribbon, paper cut with Magnolia doohickey die.

I used distress inks ink pad to color Tilda. Camilla sent me a very awesome brush to color Tilda , she is so sweet, thank you very much Camilla, you can get the brush from her husband's store, their store is very pretty and full of fabulous products, it's a crafting heaven !! I LOVE it !

Dress: Weathered Wood

Skin: Vintage photo, Tattared Rose, Age Mohagany

Present: Worn Lipstick

Hair: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Waltnut stain

I LOVE these half pearl, it was sent by my sweet Camilla from Norway, thank you very much Camilla.

It's sticker half pearl, you can use it directly when you peel off from the plastic sheet.

I used white foam and Magnolia doohickey die( doily flowers) to make a beautiful flowers. Then I sponged with distress inks Tattared Rose. Can you see the beautiful tiny flowers? They was sent by http://www.iamroses.com/ for me to play with, thank you very much Burnma. You should check out her online store, she has many beautiful paper flowers to choose from and the shipping is very cheap:-))

                                 And here.....the secret is.....I recycled Prima paper flowers packaging(as to save the earth...haha....) to make the tag. It's very easy, just trace the tag on the patterned paper, cut it out and glue it on the tag...can you understand what I mean ? sure you can ! :-))

                                  I am sure you are enjoying the Magnolia Avent Calendar fun this month....and the Magnolia new inspiration blog is too awesome, make sure you follow it every day and win the great prize from Magnolia....I  participate for the fun too....just wait:-))

                                 OK, hope that you have a very great weekend and don't forget to check out my other sweet teamies from their beautiful creations:-)

Magnolia Christmas Countdown

Finally, I made a christmas card using Magnolia christmas card.I love this Tilda and wanted to give her a gorgeous place to sit:-) I used My Mind's Eye Holly Jolly patterned papers that Bridget from UK kindly sent to me. Thank you very much my dear friends, Tanja and Bridget.

做Magnolia卡片的秘诀是什么呢？首先，上色很重要。我用的是Tim Holtz的distress ink pads.我的建议是把所有的颜色一次过买下来，因为我们不晓得我们什么时候需要什么颜色。其次，美编纸是重要的元素。最好选择颜色较轻的美编纸，我当然建议Magnolia本身的美编纸。

I used Distress ink pads to color Tilda, such as Vintage photo, Antique linen, Bundle Sage, Tattared Rose.I also used various flowers sent by Magnolia and my own stash to decorate the card.

再来就是装饰了。美丽的纸花最能让整张卡片出色。我建议用立体的纸花。市面上有很多纸花，Prima Marketing 推出很多纸花，但我还是喜欢这种立体的纸花，去哪买呢？看看这里吧：http://www.iamroses.com/

I stained the spellbinder shape with vintage photo and I used the leftover star from the punched snowflakes border to decorate the spellbinder shape too.

其他不能免的装饰有珠片，亮胶，它们能让整张卡片让人看来“眼前一亮”喔！

Here is how the card look like when I open it from the front page. The Christmas Countdown tag is from My Mind's Eye patterned paper pack too. I stamped the white cardstock with Stempelglede Grunge stamp, it's so beautiful:-)

Hope you enjoy looking my card and I am glad if I have inspired you. Hope you have a great day.

Magnolia Loving Wishes Box

                                     Today is my crafting day although I am unwell, had been flu for many days..... I came across Timbroscrapmania Stamping challenge today that I won their previous challenge,oh my, I am so lucky, thank you very much Barbara. I also noticed that they have a new challenge, that is : Box, Bag. So I made this box using my Martha Stewart Scoring Board.

It's 4"x4"x2" box, it's very easy to do with Martha Stewart Scoring Board, the instruction came along with the board. I used Magnolia patterned papers to cover the box. I colored Tilda with Distress inks and cut with Spellbinders Oval Lacey Dies. I also added two strips of Magnolia Doohickey Lace dies as the box's border.

I put some little gem inside the box such as cinnamon stick, lace, doily as a gift.

Here is the side of the box, lace with Magnolia Doohickey lace die.

I love crystal garland so I have a lot of them , if you want me to buy some, you can email me at: samuelyt at yahoo dot com.

Flowers, flowers , flowers, I can't live without flowers. I also spray glimmist lace around them, but you can't see it clear here.

I stamped the sentiment " Loving Wishes" on fabric with Tsukineko Memento Black Ink and added Ranger Ice Stickles

I also added some half pearl, Ranger Ice stickles around the the flowers and doily.
Distress inks coloring:

Tilda's hair: Pumice Stone+ Walnut Stain
Tilda's face+skin: Vintage Photo+ Tattared Rose
Tilda's Cheek's : Worn Lipstick, Age Mahogany
Tilda's Dress: Dusty Concord

Where I create + Cards from friends

Here are some of my crafting corner photos, if you are interested to take a look. Unfortunely I don't have a fancy craft room, a corner of my house has been fully use by me to create a workplace and  to place my crafting stuff.

My crafting table, actually it's a computer table. Here I have my 25 drawers plastic storage to store my Magnolia stamps. I also have my distress inks and flowers on the table, easy for me to get anything I want. The three drawers plastic storage I store  my glue, pop-up foam, arcylic block, memento black ink and some stationery.

My hubby made the two shelves for me today. I showcase my handmade cards and projects. The top shelf I have my copic ciao markers, small ink pads, brushes, etc......and you can see that I have my cuttlebug and embossing folder, spellbinders. I don't have a lot of collection :-((

Here is the storage I store my magnolia stamps, not so organize but still easy to find the stamps.

The cabinet that I store my papers, magazine, ribbons, punches, stickles, etc...

Martha Stewart punches, I don't have many...list on growing....

I store my mounted rubberstamps, heat gun, all kind of markers, ribbons in orange and yellow plastic storage.

It looks nice, right?

Magnolia Teepee Fall Card

Hello my dear friends,

How are you today ? I hope that you are great with the great weather, although we don't have four seasons here but with all the people out there screaming they want autumn , so I know that I have to make something "autumn" .

I came across in youtube for some making teepee cards ideas, I hope that I spell and name it correctly, it's a overlap triangle shape card I took about two days to finish it and I hope I have inspired you something, besides the normal square card.

I also enter this card to Just Magnolia challenge~Anything goes and Trimbroscrapmania~Autumn Colors....oh, I had been a long time didn't participate in any challenge:-))

Three sides of teepee...I used 3 pieces of 6"x 6" cardstock, fold in half then placed and glued them together in a triangle shape.

                             This card can be opened,closed by placing a tape then

                             you can write some notes inside the card.

I used Magnolia patterned paper to make the background , I distressed with Ranger Antique linen and Vintage Photo. I also made a small tag with Tim Holtz rubberstamp to make the background, that's the sheet music. Can you notice the wire flower behind Tilda? I was so proud that my son, Samuel made it for me by using a thin wire. I used Magnolia doohickey lace to make the border.

                  I used chipboard alphabets to make the "Fall ", I painted them with Ranger Walnut Stain Crackle paint, let it dry, later, I added with Crackle accent on them.I colored Tilda with distress inks- Vintage Photo, Walnut stain, Fired Brick.

The flower on top of Tilda was a sticker. I colored Tilda with Distress inks- Crushed Olive, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Black Soot, Victorian Velvet, SpunSugar.

I placed tulle, lace, pearls, flowers, stickers rhinestones to make the card looks stunning.

I handmade the background patterned paper. Firstly I stamped Tim Holtz rubberstamp-sheet music on white cardstock with Vintage Sepia ink pad, then I distressed it with Ranger Antique linen and Walnut Stain. I added a lot of rhinestones on the card, I love it !! The cute crochet flower was a gift from my crafty-male friend, Paul, from Kuala Lumpur.

I colored Tilda with distress inks- Crushed Olive, Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain, Victorian Velvet, Age Mohagany.

Hope that you find something interesting on my card, I love making something beautiful and inspired. Thank you very much for your nice comments, it means a lot for me:-)

Have a nice day.
