Magnolia-licious Summer Blog Hop - Picture Heavy!

Ok so now that you've come from the sensational Sheri's blog and seen it all you're thinking....OMG WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE NEXT?!!  That's what I thought too so I kind of really pushed the envelope on this one.  For the life of me I couldn't think of anything to do but I'm sure after hopping through this myself I'll do the forehead smack thing.  DOH!  Why didn't I think of that?!!  

 

So my project for today is a jar wrapper for displaying homemade blueberry jam!  Yup I made it ... funny thing...we don't really eat much jam!  LOL!!

I know lots of canning goes on near the end of summer and it gave me the chance to use this sweetest image called "Blueberry Tilda".  I also made a card so you could give away both items as a gift.  The image on the card is called "I'm In Love" but as you can see, she's very versatile.  The bench is also from Magnolia.

I made my own shabby flower and distressed the edges then used some pieces from Wild Orchid Crafts for my center. 

All my dragonflies are distressed with brown (actually the whole project is) and then the blue flowers and dragonflies are touched with Stardust Stickles on the wing tips.  I love the blueberry paper from Magnolia but unfortunately it's not longer available.  I don't like using stuff you can't buy however, any of the Magnolia papers are gorgeous!!  Especially from the new Special Moments line.   

I don't think I've ever used this many Magnolia Doohickey's on one project EVER!!  But I love them so much!  So seen here are: dragonfly, leaf, clouds, fence, grass and another leaf die.  WOW!!

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!  I hope you've enjoyed the blog hop and if you've missed anyone or anything you can head back over to the Magnolia-licious challenge blog where all the greatness started to check out the details.

COMMENTS!!  As you hopped your way through I hope you left comments because I hear there's some prizes to be given out.  WOO HOO what's a blog hop without prizes?!!

LDRS - Walkie

"Hello friend" she says!  "Walkie", available at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps, is just the sweetest! And I like the other one to match her called ... yup you guess it "Talkie".  Adorable!! 

I added a sentiment from the "Friendship Sentiments" collection that says:

"A friend is there when you need her most,

Down the street or coast to coast." 

This is also available at LDRS and tons more!!  Each collection has so many different expressions and this one comes with 18 different sayings!

I didn't add too much to my card this time.  I wanted to keep it a bit more simpler this time.  Sometimes a little is lot.  Not usually for me but today it was.  LMBO!

LDRS also has a blog "Little Darlings DT Inspiration" filled with amazing creations from the DT and posts every 2nd day so that gives you tons of inspiration when you need it.  You can even get updates directly to your inbox.  Handy huh?!  I think so!

Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Wee Wednesday

Welcome back to another Wee Wednesday!!!  This is the day we always like to showcase Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet as these gorgeous stamps are for sale on the Magnolia-licious online store. 

This image is one of the newest images done and her name is "Rosetta".  She's just so pretty!!  I've used some white Frantage around the image but it's a little hard to see.  I also used some shabby pink Frantage on a strand of white pearls and it looks so cool IRL!!  But if you're going to do this, do it quickly cuz they will start to melt a little.  LOL!

My little "HAPPY" clipboard. 

The white lacy flower is actually made by Magnolia.  The little pink butterfly was from a bracelet I use to wear but the silver turned color so I covered it with shabby pink Frantage and same with the Prima metal flower under the pearl flower.

Luscious Lace

This week at Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Challenge we are challenging you to use your 

LUSCIOUS LACE!!

Be it cloth lace or paper lace it's still lace.  This week "Moulin Rouge Tilda" is kicking up her heels and having a great time!   The image behind her is called "Theatre Curtain" and both are from the recent "Once Upon a Time" collection. 

I used various pieces of lace from my stash but I also use the Vintage Box Lacing Chocolate Magnolia Doohickey.  A little tip while using your very detailed dies is put wax paper between the die and cardstock.  It cuts nicer and helps pull all the excess paper away much easier. 

I made some of my own flowers using a Spellbinder die, added some Frantage to many pieces (including a Prima metal rose) and used some gold Magnolia vintage berries. 

ENABLER ALERT!!  HAVE YOU SEEN???  The new Magnolia collection is up for sale now!!  AGAIN OMG Pauline has outdone herself!  It's called SPECIAL MOMENTS and special it is!  There are quite a few new wedding images available so please check them out. 

Also available now the Magnolia Ink magazine "Sea Breeze"

Join us in this ever so easy lace challenge at Magnolia-licious and Wee Wednesday challenge blog.  Also, don't forget if you comment here or on any of the blog posts during the week ANY week, you're entered for a chance to win!!

LDRS: Saturated Canary's "Tilly"

Back today with lovely "Tilly", a Saturated Canary image available at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  Normally fairies are not my thing but OMG SHE'S CUTE!!  Even her name is cute!

I've also used some sheets from the "Summer Sorbet" collection also available at LDRS and I'm sure I've never used more paper from one collection than this one.  They are just so easy to use! 

Here's a close up of the wings I made.  I put Sookwang double sided tape on some vellum then punched it with the Magnolia "Cute Wings" Doohickey die.  When I peeled off the tape I covered them with Glitter Ritz.  They are super pretty!! 

This butterfly started out as just a plain gold paperclip from Prima.  I covered it with "Shabby Pink" Frantage.  CUTE!!!  I love doing that and you can check out a tutorial on the Frantage by Tracy from Crafteezee.  She shows how to add it to many embellishments to match your card. 

For more inspiration on these beauties and many more you can check out the Little Darlings Inspiration blog.  The DT is incredible!!

Magnolia-licious Butterflies!!

Welcome back to another Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge.  This week it's all about

BUTTERFLIES!

And who can ever get enough of these pretty things?!!  I really enjoyed coloring "Sitting Tilda w/Butterfly" with the bench called "Vintage Swedish Bench" from the newest collection "Once Upon a Time".  The stamp in the upper right hand corner of the image is also a Magnolia stamp from the "Butterfly Kit".  It's not in the store right now but it`s handy because it comes with 2 more gorgeous butterfly stamps.  

I tucked in the Magnolia "So Wrapped Lovely Heart Folded Tag" Doohickey, distressed the edges and tied some pretty ribbons and lace around it.  Actually I distressed all edges on the card and added lots of extra goodies for the eyes.  

Here`s a closer look at the glittered butterfly.  

So how easy is it to join us for this challenge?!!!  EASY PEASY!!  Check out all the other DT's creations at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog.

Right now you can pre-order the next edition of Magnolia Ink called `Sea Breeze` and it will ship on or before June 5th.  WOO HOO!  I always love new magazines!!
