Angel Tilda

Hello everyone, today I have a Magnolia DT card to share with you. I have used Angel Tilda with Glory from the Magnolia Nativity Collection 2012.

For my card I coloured Tilda with copics, cut her out with a circle nestie and inked the edges with weathered wood distress ink before I removed it from the die. I then layered this onto a die cut that I created using a Joy Crafts die designed by Noor Design, again I sponged this before I removed it from the die. I used no DP for this card, instead I created my own by sponging some card with ink and stamping some Sweet Snowflakes from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011. I used the largest die from the spellbinders romantic rectangles set to create my card base.

Supplies
Card/Paper: White card
Stamps: Magnolia - Angel Tilda with Glory - Nativity Collection 2012. Sweet Snowflakes - Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011.
Colouring: Copics, Distress ink - weathered wood
Embellishments: Ribbon, pearls
Tools: Trouvaille, nesties, Joy Crafts die, sewing machine, TH blending tool

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.

Supplies
Card/Paper: Kraft and ivory card. MME - Wild Asparagus
Stamps: Magnolia - listed above
Colouring: Distress inks - vintage photo, antique linen, weathered wood, black soot, victorian velvet, broken china.
Embellishments: Bells, ribbon, twine, pearls

Tilda with Cross Stitch Heart

Hello everyone, for my card today I have used some stamps from the new Magnolia collection.

For my card I decided to go with a mainly white theme, the card base and the card I have used for my embossed panels are two different types hence the colour difference! I have used Tilda with Cross Stitch Heart from the Magnolia Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011 and I have coloured her with copics. I used my snowflakes folder and a craft concepts embossing folder called cottage floral. I used a MS PATP punch for tilda to sit on and some ribbon and jewels to finish off.

For the inside I used an ink blending tool and weathered wood distress ink to distress the edges then I stamped the Sweet Yuletide Christmas Hat with weathered wood distress ink.

Supplies
Card/Paper: White card
Stamps: Magnolia - Tilda with Cross Stitch Heart, Sweet Yuletide Christmas Hat - Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection 2011
