Happy Birthday Mum

Happy Tuesday Friends,

Another quick post today (oh well it started out quick) and a break away from my Christmas Cards & shock horror no Magnolia images. My wonderful Mother celebrated her 70th Birthday on the 10th December, she had me very late in life (not really lol). I wanted to make her something special, so of course another Easel card. I dusted off my much loved but very neglected Cricut Die Cutting machine and came up with this little gift set in Mum's favourite colours.

Cricut Cartridges used - Storybook for Age 70, Lyrical Letters for Mum, Plantin Schoolbook for Ball Gift Bag & SVG cuts for the Daffodil on the Gift bag.

Papers by Lilac Ave Collection 6x6 pad - Kaisercraft, Border punch, fronds & fern by MS, lots of stickles, Spellbinder Nesties - Circles & Label, Copic airbrush system, Silk Ribbon, flowers - Hydrarangers from Busy Becs (sample pack - thanks Bec I love them) with pearl button  (from stash) glued in for flower centre, Yellow Rose - Prima & Gardenia - Petaloo, Happy stamp by Hero Arts & Sentiment stamp by Stamp It Up - Australia.

The sentiment reads

It's not how old you are, it's how loved you are that counts.

2 posts in 2 days - a record for me.
I have some more Christmas Cards for you to see later in the week.

Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by.

Birdhouse Christmas Card

Hello Friends,

Challenge entered - Magnolia-licious  

Cheryl Rowley picked the challenge this month  - to create cards that are anything BUT a square or rectangle.  So that means any other shaped card will work for this challenge!! Hope this qualifies!!!

 

Another quick post today, I made this Birdhouse Christmas card for my Parents, they live on a property backing on to a 100 hectare Reserve with lots of wildlife. Dad loves birds and likes spotting the different types of birds. He always has handy his bird book and binoculars.  I wanted to make something a little different for them this year and when the wonderful Magnolia Ink Magazine was released with the tutorial and pattern to make this little beauty I had to give it a go. Hope they like it.

Hello Happy Saturday Friends,

I have entered this card at Just Magnolia - It's Christmas 

& it can be anything Christmassy.

 Hope you are all ready for Christmas, I am still madly making cards and Christmas goodies. A short & sweet post today. I now alternate between shadowbox & easel cards, I just love them.

This little Angel is from Magnolia's So Jolly Under the Mistletoe Collection as is the Merry Christmas sentiment and the gorgeous papers. I've machine stitched & added lots of stickles, silk bow, my new MS border punch and some yummy flowers. May all your wishes come true sentiment stamp - by Hero Arts. Coloured with Copics. This tilda is from Bizzy Becs online store along with some of these gorgeous flowers.

I wanted to send a friend this beautiful Tilda as a Guardian Angel to watch over them.

Your Invited - MDU December DT Challenge

Happy Tuesday Friends,

Magnolia Down Under Store Design Team Challenge for December Party Invitation.

I am the host woohooo, I love Christmas even though it is a busy time of the year. I love looking through  the catalogues to find the perfect gift, love the shopping (I finished my shopping early Nov to miss the crowds) & catching up with friends & family.

I thought it would be fun to make an Invitation with all the Christmas Parties this month. My DT kit Kellie sent was full of wonderful goodies, this beautiful Magnolia paper, gorgeous lace, stunning gardenia flower and Party Tilda to play with. Such a perfect Tilda to make an invitation.  Party Tilda is from Magnolia's So Jolly & Under the Mistletoe Collection, she could be used for any occasion. I have coloured her with my Copics & added the embellies.

Who does this remind you of?????
Party Tilda was coloured with Red Hair in honour of our beautiful BOSS LADY, Kellie.

If you are still looking to buy any of these Magnolia goodies stop by Magnolia Down Under and I'm sure Kellie can tempt you.

Hope you will stop by & see what the other Design Team members have created for you,  they are all amazing!
