Keep Calm and Enjoy Summer - Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Animal or Accessory Only

Woo have I got a cute card for you today!
It is time for Team B to share their creations at the Magnolia-Licious Challenge and it was a challenge this time as we DIDN'T want to see Tilda or Edwin, just Animals or Accessory stamps!
Now Diana stocks tons of those stamps at the Magnolia-Licious Store and over the years I have collected quite a selection :)
The store has had a facelift, we all get to that certain age ;), and if you haven't seen it yet you will be stunned, just fabulous for everyone so RUN OVER THERE NOW to check it out in all its glory!


Challenges:
Di's Digis - Punches or Dies (3 entries only)
Crazy Challenge - Punches/Dies (4 entries only)
Whoopsi Daisy - 2 or More Dies
Cheery Lynn Designs - Hot Time In the Summer
Stamp and Create with Magnolia - Summer Fun

Craft Your Passion - Flower Power (3 entries only)
Sister Act - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Crafter's Cafe - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
DL Art - Anything Goes (1 per day)




Card Recipe:
Image - Shelf with Kitchen Towels and Picnic Basket
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper and Sentiment- Summer Fresh by Simple Stories
Doily Die - English Tea Party By Cheery Lynn Designs
Banner Die - Magnolia Doo Hickey Die Club Vol 1
Flower Die - Flower #5 by Ellentina
Brads - Unknown
Twine - DL Art




Now if you look closely at the original stamp you will see the edge of the shelf is flat against the wall



But as I wanted the basket to sit on it and the basket was more 3 dimensional I had to draw in a little extra wood after stamping to make it work and not have the basket "floating" I also added some stripes on the spotted paper to give the illusion of maybe a wall treatment.
I added the banner to the card as I thought the towels looked a little like banners on the shelf too!




I really had lots of fun with this card, the homespun feel of the papers and the thought of Summer picnics just make me smile and I hope they make you smile too!

Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Christmas in July

Oh I had fun with this card for the second week of the Magnolia-Licious "Christmas in July" challenge and I hope you like it.
It has been hard to think of Christmas when it is 99F outside and I looked and looked at my Christmas stamps and traditional style was not calling to me and so I decided to make a fun scene with Tilda and Edwin inside a Snow Globe!





Card Recipe:
Images - In The Snow Scarf Tilda and Christmas Eve Edwin
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Wonderland by Martha Stewart
Sentiment - Holly Jolly by Adorn It
Metallic Cardstock - American Crafts
Glitter Pen - Viva Decor
Glitter - Glamour Dust
Rhinestones - Unknown
Circle Dies (to make globe) - Lifestyle Crafts






After coloring Tilda and Edwin I fussy cut them out to make the scene. I cut a circle inside a circle to make the frame for the globe and made a matching stand. I added a scene cut from a piece of patterned paper that was just the perfect background and added torn paper for the snow and then glitter. From the same paper I cut out one of the trees and the North Pole sign and added them. Tilda and Edwin were then added to the front of the scene and then finally the sentiment. It was really fun to make and once I figured the logistics it was pretty easy too (going to make another soon for another project :)).
I hope you liked this and that it gave a little cool down and that it will get you in the mood to play along with us at Magnolia-Licious
