Magnolia Avent Calender Day 20

Welcome to the Magnolia Avent Calendar Day 20 !

It's my pleasure to host the event today !

I have a Tilda card and a matchbox decoration to share with you.

I hope you like it and have a very Merry Christmas.

 The stamps I used from Fall kit collection last year, it's called In the Snow Scarf Tilda. Other stamps from Magnolia Fall Club Kit 2014.

Patterned Paper from Magnolia.

 I decorated a matchbox which sent by Magnolia Sweden for me. It's always fun to decorate a matchbox. 

 Inside the matchbox I also attached some yummy embelishments. You can also store some little suprise like candy, small gift, tit-bits.

 Here is the close up look inside the matchbox. Same patterned paper with the card. Just use your creativity and imaginations to make it fun and beautiful !

 The matchbox. I stamped the new Magnolia Christmas collection stamp, "Christmas Poinsetta" on a piece of cardsstock then filled with Ranger Platinum and Magenta Ice Stickles.

I painted the embelishments with Ranger Crackle Paint.

 As always , I colored Tilda with Ranger Distress Inks. Finished up with Ranger Crackle Paint and Liquid Pearls to make it more festive-look.

It's not mandatory to have the paper in square or rectangle size. You can tear and painted it with white paint to make a shabby chic card. Its fun to not follow the rules, sometimes:-))

 I hope that you have fun viewing my creation, as much as I made it:-)) Don't forget to make a comment as a chance to win some very yummy Magnolia product from Magnolia rubberstamps Sweden. 

I will announce one (1) winner tomorrow ( 21/12/2014). Have a nice day !

Dream & Love

Hello my dear friends,

I am so addicted to make some simple cards with paper flowers and dies.

If you are new in crafting and wish to send someone a handmade card, then paper flowers and dies are perfect match.:-))

Patterned paper as a base from Magnolia patterned paper ( I can't live without it ), two types of Magnolia dies- butterfly and peonies.

Paper flowers from Prima Marketing and spiral cream flowers from Kort & Godt.

Before I cut the butterfly, I stamped Magnolia stamp :Love: sentiment with Ranger Distress ink on a piece of white card stock. Dream and Love sentiment from Papertrey Ink. 

 I distressed the paper edges with Ranger Distress inks.Spice-up with half pearls, victorian button, string and trinket.

Fun and simple-easy card ! 

I hope you like my card and get inspired !

See you then !

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

P/s: Thank you very much for your nice commments for my previous card ! <3

Finally after several struggle months...........

 I have a card to show you , my dear friends.
I am so sorry that I was in silent these couple of months.
Many things happened in my family.
I lost my mother in a full moon day.
But I am glad that she is no longer in suffer.
She is deeply missed.

Well, back to my card,
I wish to warm up a bit to coutinue my crafting journey,
so today is a Magnolia Dies day ( for me :-))
You can get all the Magnolia Doohickey dies here: http://magnolia.nu/wp13/product-category/magnolia/dies/


I used three type of dies, here are:
1) Butterfly
2)Mini doily
3) Peonies

     Patterned paper and sentiment from Magnolia, paper flowers, wooden icons, sweet buttons from Prima Marketing. Other stuff: doily, half pearl, liquid pearl, film strip , brad from all other company and gift from fellow DT Nancie and Yulis.

 I used a mask that I bought many years ago ( LOL ) then applied picket white crackle paint. You can see the result at the lower left corner of the card. I arranged the layer per layer starting with white doily at the upper of the card.

 Here the close up of the card. I stained all the dies' edges with Ranger walnut stain ink and stamped with Magnolia Love sentiment. You can see I also stamped the Magnolia Old Script background at the right hand side of the card.

 The sentiment " Made with Love" from Magnolia. I stamped on a white cardstock and inked with Ranger Walnut Stain with an old look. Spice up with a piece of string and half pearls.

I had a very funny and relax time to make this super easy card. I hope you got inspired !

Have a nice day !

I am so sorry that I was not able to make a single card nor tag nor bookmark in these 3 months. I didn't have any mood to make any crafting thing.

I hope that I am able to turn my crafting journey to the normal path. I hope so. I need your support and encouragement. I wish to say a word of Thank you very much for visiting my blog in these past three months, although there was nothing new to be viewed.

OK, back to this card. This is a new Magnolia rubbberstamp from the new collection- Pink Lemonade.

 I painted the image with Ranger distress ink Walnut Stain. Patterned paper from Magnolia.
