Sending Love With Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder
by Theary Chea

Hello there! It's Theary back on the blog again today. For today's project, I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder from the Magnolia Collection.

IMG_2787 (2)

I started by embossing the 3D embossing folder with beige-colored cardstock that I trimmed to 5.25" x 4". I am in love with the dimension that is imprinted onto the cardstock. It provides so much texture and depth to the card design.

IMG_2786 (2)

To give the magnolias a little bit more interest, I used colored pencils to color over the embossed areas. I then used white paint and splattered that over the entire card panel.

The sentiment is Just A Note Daily Script, which I cut out of glossy black cardstock a few times and layered to give it dimension. I then adhered that to a strip of vellum that I placed across the bottom half of the card panel.

And that's it! I hope you found some inspiration and have time to get crafty!

Until next time,

Take the Magnolia Collection beyond beautiful magnolias...imagine a tall bouquet of yellow blossoms!  I've never seen yellow or long-stemmed magnolias but they're great for a thank you card.  Hi, Jean here with just another way to take advantage of the  versatile designs in our latest collection.

Cut 5 blossoms from the Magnolia Blossom Trio using an assortment of yellow 6x6's from the Sunny Orange Collection.  Daub VersaFine Verdant onto the center diecuts and the base for the tallest flower. Assemble the blossoms.  

Cut Vertical Line Collage from green cardstock - the offcuts become stems here.  Attach the stems and angle-trim the bottoms.

Cut 2 bows from the Crisp Bows set from the gold Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6x6.  Trim the curled loops. Carefully pull each bow's vertical center strip away from the center.  Offset the bows and glue them together.

Stamp the greeting - from the Big and Little Reverse Words Clear Stamp Set - on light green cardstock with VersaFine Shady Lane.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Diecut it with the coordinating die that's included in the stamp set.  Tape the bow to the back of the greeting with foam tape.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for several petals and the greeting.  Attach light green Christmas Fairy Jewels.  Cut an A6 rectangle of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Turn this basic design into a get well, birthday, congrats or friendship card too - everyone loves flowers!  

Thanks for visiting - enjoy the weekend...

Hello Magnolia Card
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_4994

Hello everyone!  Today I have another Magnolia card for you featuring a stenciled background for the Magnolia die cut to lay on.

The first thing I did was use a low tack tape to mask off a rectangle in the center of the card panel.

IMG_4987

I placed the Leafy Row Stencil over the masked background, then used a blender brush and Distress Inks to add color through the stencil.  I removed the stencil and before I removed the tape I used what ink was left on my brushes to blend in some color to the background.

IMG_4990

I die cut the Magnolia Floral Stem from white cardstock and used Distress Inks and Blender brushes to add color to the flower and leaves.  I used Saltwater Taffy and Picked Raspberry for the flower, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss for the leaves, and Gathered Twigs for the stem. 

I glued the flower and leaves together and then adhered them to the card front.

Next, I die cut the word Hello from gold foil paper and glued that to the card.

IMG_4996

To finish the card, I used foam tape to adhere the card front to a white card base, and that's it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a great weekend!

Hugs in Bloom by Jean Okimoto

P1025149 2

Send hugs with Magnolia Rub-On Transfers - from bud to bloom - on a layered slimline greeting.  Hi, Jean here with a floral design in comforting shades of soft pinks and warm browns.   

P1025137
Cut the magnolia buds and blossom and their paper liners from the transfer sheet - leave a generous border around each design.  Carefully remove the paper liner and press the transfers lightly onto pink cardstock - leave extra space to diecut the circles.  The Magnolia Rub-On Transfers sets include a wood craft stick to burnish the beautiful designs.  Or run them through the diecut machine to burnish the designs - between 2 sheets of printer paper and the base + cutting plates. Remove the frosty protective top layer then diecut the designs with the 1-½" and 1-¾" Circle Basics dies.  

Cut light pink cardstock with the 6.7" x 1.7" Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Cut the rectangle with the Vertical Line Collage die.

Cut the leafy brown Magnolia Grove 6x6 with the 1.4" x 6.4" Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Attach the brown print behind the collage cutout.

Cut the Hugs Tender Script background from light pink cardstock.  Spritz both sides with a light mist of water, then pressure-emboss it with the detailed top layer of the greeting.  Pressure-embossing creates a debossed area to attach the detailed top layer.  Cut the top layer from the brown leaf print.  Assemble the greeting.

P1025142

Attach the diecuts to a light pink slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½") - use foam taper for the greeting.  Add pale gold Treasure Chest Fairy Gemstones.  Cut a slimline-sized rectangle of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

The Magnolia Rub-On Transfers look beautifully realistic over white and natural cardstock.  Layer them over pink, light lavender or light violet cardstock for a different look.

Thanks for visiting...have a great week!

Love You Magnolia Blossoms All-Occasion Card
by Anne Thompson

I knew I wanted to use the new MAGNOLIA RUB ON TRANSFERS RUB101 in some way on a card for today's post.  This is what I came up with:

IMG_1699-ink (1)

I knew I wanted dimension on this card so I began by die cutting magnolia blossoms from black card stock using the dies that came with the MARVELOUS MAGNOLIA 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER EF1035.  I then added matching rub ons to white card stock and used the same dies to cut them out.

IMG_1689 (1)-ink

I layered the magnolia blossoms on top of the two layers of black card stock ones.

I chose a coordinating pink plaid paper from the MAGNOLIA PLAID PP1021 paper pad, trimmed it to 5 1/4 X 4, and added it to the front of a white note card.

I added the larger blossom to the bottom of the notecard with glue.  I used dimensional foam dots to add the other two blossoms to the card front.

IMG_1693 (1)-ink

I chose the LOVE YOU GALLERY SCRIPT 94636 die for the sentiment and layered it up, cutting it twice from black card stock and once from white card stock.  

IMG_1696 (1)-ink

I used the lines in the plaid to angle the sentiment in the top half of the card.

IMG_1699-ink (1)

Now I have a lovely card ready to go for any occasion!

Happy Crafting!

Blue Magnolias Just For You
by Trina Pham

IMG_0875

Hello everyone.  I’m still working my way through the gorgeous April 2023 Magnolia collection and couldn’t resist creating a blue monochromatic card!

The Backyard Wren, magnolia flowers and foliage were all die cut from white cardstck.  The foliage (leaves and stems) were colored with B32/34/37/39 Copic Sketch markers.  Ink blending with finger brushes was done to color the wren and magnolias.  Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink was used for the magnolias while Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Lost Shadow and Black Soot distress inks were used for the wren.

IMG_0876

Stretched the Curved Cap Pinpoint die and partial die cut it to get the curve shape on both ends.  Heat embossed the sentiment from Poppy Stamps Birthday Blowout with gold embossing powder.  Assembled the card onto a white woodgrain A2 size panel, then added highlights with a white gel pen and clear shimmer on the magnolias for some sparkle to finish.

IMG_0877

This card was inspired by this month’s For the Birds challenge ending at 11:59 pm EST on May 30… so there is still time to get your entry in.  That concludes my post.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.

Transfer, Emboss and Frame a Marvelous Magnolia by Jean Okimoto

Need a quick card?  Transfer, diecut and 3D-emboss a Marvelous Magnolia and add a shimmery Crystal Frame background.  A diecut greeting and Autumn Fairy Crystals top it off.  Hi, Jean here with a garden greeting to start the weekend.

Cut a Magnolia Rub-on Transfer and its paper liner - with a generous border.  Carefully remove the paper liner and tap the transfer onto heavy smooth white cardstock.  Place it between two sheets of printer paper to protect the design. Run it through the diecut machine (without the die!) with the plates used for cutting.  Carefully remove the top plastic liner.  Memory Box Rub-on Transfer sets include a wooden craft stick to burnish the transfer - but the rolling pressure of a diecut machine does a great job too!

Diecut the design with the matching die from the 3D embossing folder set.  Cut a second piece from heavy white cardstock and layer it for dimension.

Place the diecut in the Marvelous Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder and run it through the machine using the plates required for 3D embossing.

I used an ink-blended piece of Open Studio Watercolor Paper from my stash and spritzed it with more water and daubed it with a tissue to blot some of the inks for a lighter background.  Lightly spritzed it with Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Sprtiz too.  Let it dry, then cut it with the large Crystal Frames die.  Attach the frame and its offcut to a white side-folded 5-½" square card.  The peaked Crystal Frame complements and resembles the top of the blossom without being too match-y.

Stamp the greeting - from the Friends and Family Clear Stamp Set - on a pale lavender 6x6 from the Twilight Purple Collection with Purple Delight VersaFine Clair.  Dry the ink, then trim the greeting with the 1-½" Square Basics die.

Assemble the card  - use foam tape for the greeting.  Add purple Autumn Fairy Crystals.  Cut a 5-½" square of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.  Square cards require additional postage and handling.

Happy Birthday
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_4966

Hi everyone!  For today's card, I used a new 3D Embossing Folder from the April 2023  Magnolia Release.

On the flat side of the embossing folder (the flower are pressed in), I applied Distress Oxides Ink directly to the folder.  I misted the inked folder with plain water and placed my white cardstock into the folder and ran it through my die cut machine.

IMG_4963

This is what the background looks like when it comes out of the folder.

IMG_4964

Next, I used a small brayer and picked up the same ink colors and lightly applied ink to the top of the embossed images. This helps define the flowers.  

IMG_4965

I spattered the background with white and blue inks.

Next, I applied Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Ink to a piece of white cardstock and die cut the words "Happy Birthday" from the inked paper.  The shadow for the words was die cut 3 times from white cardstock and stacked.

I glued this to the card and used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.

IMG_4967

To finish the card, I added some Clear Fairy Drops to add some shine.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!
