IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES & A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have featured the Magnolia Mood Bundle.

The cling stamp set has four gorgeous magnolia images and three wonderful greetings.

The coordinating dies make it so easy to cut the floral shapes you want.

This week I have also used:

This set has six versatile greetings.

This bundle helps create amazing texture and shapes.

The perfect stamp set fir upcoming weddings.

I wanted to show just how perfectly different Stampin’ Up! products can work together.

Today I have a w-fold card to share.

When using this die I highly recommend attaching Adhesive Sheets to the back of the card stock before cutting it. This makes attaching the flower far less messy than using glue.

After stamping and trimming the greeting, I added a folded piece of Pecan Pie Centre Stripe Ribbon behind it. Then, with dimensionals behinfd it also, the greeting was popped up on the card front.

I added some Adhesive-backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Inside the card, I attached an 11 1/2″ x 1″ strip of Pecan Pie card. This strip was folded into four equal panels.

I cut four Pecan Pie squares – 2 5/8″ and four Basic White squares – 2 1/2″.

A greeting was stamped on one white panel and the others were stamped with with the magnolia images and coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

These pieces were then adhered together and attached to the 1″ strip.

I also added some Adhesive-backed Cork Rounds inside the card.

I’m lookng forward to using this fun fold again.

Tomorrow I will have a challenge project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT’S IT TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

For this gift box I used two A4 pieces of Pecan Pie card stock.

The card used for the lid was stamped with the magnolia bud image in Pecan Pie.

All four sides were scored at 1 7/8″. After burnishing the score lines, with my bone folder, I cut the sides as shown below – just down to the scored line. I also cut away a small wedge on both sides of the flap.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the four flaps, creating the gift box lid.

For the gift box base, I used the same process but increased the scoring measurement to 1 1/2″. This means that the lids is slightly larger than the base, allowing for an easy fit.

I used the large circle from the Everyday Details Dies to cut two pieces of Pecan Pie and one White Vellum, for the lid of the box.

For the first circle, I layered the card and vellum layers before I die cut two of the magnolia dies and layered them. Then I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flowers, allowing for a place to run a length of burlap ribbon, from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo.

I wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

For the second circle, I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and the magnolia bud image.

I threaded a length of Linen Thread through one of the holes in the circle. After untying the bow, I tied the Linen Thread to attach the greeting.

Then I cut three lengths of Linen Thread and added it to the Burlap Ribbon. After carefully tying these lengths into a bow, I teased out the linen threads.

Finally, I added some Cork Rounds to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, IT’S WEDNESDAY & I HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO SHARE

After colouring the large magnolia images over the last two projects, I decided to create a magnolia wreath.

I started by adding a 9″ x 9″ piece of Pecan Pie behind the white frame mat.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut 7 magnolias for this framed piece. I also did the same with the magnolia bud and leaves.

The large magnolias were then positioned on the Pecan Pie. Then I placed the buds and leaves. When I was happy with the shape of the wreath I secured the magnolias with dimensoinals. The buds and leaves were then glues into place.

I used a greeting from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set and stamped it in Pecan Pie. It was then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon was folded in half and attached to the back of the greeting.

I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and positioned it, as you can see.

Finally, I added some Lemon Lolly gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
