Good Morning Magnolia Birthday Card

 

Good Morning Magnolia provides a bold center piece for this card. You hardly need to add anything when you use this bold bloom on your card front. My card base is 11" x 4-1/4", scored at 2-3/4" from each end. I added some (retired) designer series paper on each front panel to match the coloring I did on the leaves using my Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.

 

                                  

 

After coloring, I added a wash of Wink of Stella to make my blooms sparkle. In the future, I would just stamp these blooms onto Shimmery White card stock for the sparkle.

 

 

Inside, I used another die from the Magnolia Memories Die to make the outlined bloom. The "91" is from a retired die set. Plenty of room to write some birthday wishes. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great weekend. Any time you need Stampin' Up! supplies, please use my Online Store.

 

Hummingbird Happy Birthday and Bonus Days!!

This card is a birthday card for my six year old granddaughter. I used the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper as the background. The hummingbird is a snipped image from one of the patterns in this beautiful pack of paper. I created the flower by using the Balloon Bouquet Punch and Whisper White card stock. The flower's center is cut using the Magnolia Memories Dies. The sparkly center is a Gold Faceted Gem. Those Mint Macaron leaves were cut out with the Leaf Punch and gently mashed up for a 3D look.

Inside the card, I used a Whisper White Stitched Rectangle for writing a personal note. I stamped hearts on it using the Meant to Be stamp set.

See the Mosaic Mood Specialty paper has a shine on some of the mosaic tiles (lower R corner) 

The sentiment is from the Special Celebrations stamp set. The hummingbird is popped up on TWO layers of Stampin' Dimensionals so he can reach the flower better ;-)

Embellished Magnolia

Fellow Pretty Pal Stesha Bloodhart made a square card much like the one above. My take on it is that I made a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card, placed my flower to the left rather than right, and I used some retiring Calypso Coral ribbon rather than the new Petal Pink Ribbon that I don't own yet. 

I love using Shimmery White Card Stock for watercoloring because it takes the Aqua Painter much better than regular card stock, yet is not as heavy as water color paper for doing multiple layers. Plus it shines when you are finished! 

My embellishments include Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated ribbon (retiring soon! 148775  $8), Gold Metallic Pearls, Linen Thread and Magnolia Lane 3/8" Linen Ribbon. I think that the embellishments together with the super bloom just make this card very special.

Thanks for looking today! I hope you are inspired to create. Let me know if I can help you achieve your crafting goals.

"More Than One Score" with the Pals' May Blog Hop

Welcome the Pals' May Blog Hop. We're so glad you're here because we made some great projects with "More Than One Score." You may be starting the shop here or coming from a previous Pal's blog. Either way, you've come to the right place. You'll find the full line-up below to help you move , or "hop" along from Pal to Pal.

I've settled in with my Magnolia Lane Suite (available June 4) and now I'm cooking! I decided to use this suite for this month's hop. I made a 3-D easel card. 

I think there is more than one  way to make one, but I used the easy method. One piece of card stock measures 11" x 4-1/4" and is scored at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2". The portion that is largest is the "bottom" part of the card where my striped paper is. The other piece of card stock is where the flower is and it measures 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".

This lovely 3-D Magnolia-looking flower was made using the Magnolia Memories dies. I used several whole "blooms" of various sizes and several torn petals from the pieces cut from Whisper White card stock. I then used a bone folder to curl the petals upward. I colored the centers using Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends and added those die cut center pieces in Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight card stock. In the very center are some Gold Metallic Pearls.

Here you can see the detail on the "stop" that lets the card stand up like an easel. It's several layers of card stock that are adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a sticker from the Magnolia Lane Specialty Memories and More Card Pack and more Metallic Pearls. My sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

The easy-to-tie ribbon is from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack available June 4th

Here is the card folded like it would go in an envelope. However, with the flower as the art portion, I will have to hand deliver this beautiful creation. 

I thank you for looking today and hope you will leave me a comment and ask any questions that you might have. I will answer them if you have your email attached to your comment.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month's Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they've created!

Enjoy Today with Good Morning Magnolia

I finally got a chance to check out all of the items in my Magnolia Lane Suite (debuts in the new Annual Catalog June 4) and I must admit I started slowly. 

I began with that gorgeous flower "outline" cut from Petal Pink card stock using one of the dies. I positioned it over some Crumb Cake card stock and then cut it out using the Stitched Shapes oval. I placed it over a Petal Pink Stitched circle. 

Next, I stamped a medium flower in Crumb Cake on Whisper White paper and colored it using markers I accidentally cut it out using paper snips! (duh-there is a perfect die to cut it out in the set!) "Enjoy Today" was stamped in Crumb Cake and I used the Classic Label punch to punch it out. It is set with dimensionals.

I chose one of the small prints from the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper and matted it with Mint Macaron Card stock onto a Petal Pink card base. I love how the Garden Lane DSP coordinates with the Magnolia Lane Suite. Lastly, I added some retiring Crumb Cake ribbon tied with a bow.

I hope you like my card, but mostly I hope you are inspired to take out your stamps, ink and paper and create your own cards! Let me know if you have any questions about making paper crafts.
