Rosette has created such a beautiful card for us today! She has used a Magnolia Stamp for the Center of her card and then created some amazing Foamiran flowers, with different stamens and styrofoam centers. You can find all the supplies in the Magnolia-licious Online Store! Thank you so very much for sharing your card with us Rosette, it's gorgeous!

Today we would like to say Merry Christmas to you all and Thank You for your patronage. It's been an exciting year for us behind the scenes and Shawn has more new stock to put in the store! It's a completely new line to us, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Here is a note from Shawn:

Monday,December 11, Tilda with Umbrella Daisy

December 10, 2017



This little beauty was done by Karen Balcanoff. She has coloured in Tilda with Umbrella Daisy with Copic Markers. She has used random paper bought from Hobby Lobby, and SU paper as well. Have a look at how Karen has cut out all the petals from the daisy and layered them! It looks just adorable.
Karen, thank you so much for sharing with us today.


New in the store are some of the cutest stamp sets! These are stamps that were made for Magnolia Day. There are 4 sets available. These stamps come completely unmounted, just rubber. These are so easy to use, especially if you have a Misti or a Tim Holtz Platform. You can also just use cheap glue sticks, put some on the stamp and stick it to your acrylic block, then put your paper on a foam stamping sheet, or even a piece dollar store foam, and stamp your image. For cleaning the stamp and block, just use a baby wipe.



Here are the sets available for preorder

With Love from Paris

Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a lovely day,

For this card Rene has used super fun background paper and I love how she did the Get Better Soon. Sweet Tilda with Bandaid is so adorable, seriously!

I just love Rene's card. Tilda makes me smile with her little ouchie. Thank you for sharing with us Rene!

December 08, 2017



Oh, isn't this card just adorable. Poor Tilda has hurt herself and has a bandage around her leg. Tilda in Heart Pockets is from the new Get Well Collection 2017, and can be found here. Rene has done a beautiful job colouring her image, I love those rosy cheeks. The Get Well Saying is perfect for this card, and can be found here.

Thank you so much for sharing with us today Rene!!

Shawn called to let me know that the Christmas Party Collection was mailed out this morning and should be in soon! You all know these are coming from Sweden, so it could take a bit of time, but at least they will be here before Christmas!  You can still pre-order this collection here.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a gorgeous day!

Wednesday Dec.6th - Foamiran Wednesday

December 06, 2017




We are in for a treat today! Ivy has created the cutest little card/decoration using Magnolia Stamps and Foamiran! She has also created a step by step tutorial for us! I can't believe how beautiful this is! I am truly blown away by the creativity on our Design Team. This is Ivy's first post featuring Foamiran. We will be featuring this every Wednesday.

Here is the tutorial for you,


Cut 2 of the larger template and 1 of the small template. You can use the Whimsy Stamps Poinsettia Die but at this moment in time I haven’t got them. If you have any poinsettia dies, you can do the same 



Use a craft iron or normal iron and mine is on Cotton setting, each iron may vary so it’s best to test it first. The petal will curl, then I do a concertina fold and roll it between my fingers



 Continue to do this to all the petals and they will look like this 


Then I gently unfold the petal only on the wider part and use a ball tool on a sponge and press until it looks like this 


 Do this to all the petals

 


Put a drop of hot glue to the centre - domed petals up - and off-set the next petals on top and the same to the smaller petals.


Use a 5mm ball tool or a wooden stick and press down on a sponge


Then I used a pokey tool to make a hole in the centre for the stamens 




I used about 10 double-head stamens and pushed them through 


I put hot glue on the back side of stamens to secure them and trimmed off the excess stalk. You can have your poinsettia as it is. I made mine shabby by adding some glitter paint but it’s optional, it’s my style ðŸ˜Š



Hope you like them.

Ivy, we love your poinsettias, thank you so much for the step out totorial! If you are interested in purchasing any of the items needed to make these gorgeous flowers, I will post links below.


Shawn has so many different colours of foamiran in stock now, and some beautiful new berries and micro bead stamens! Have a look.

Have a beautiful day and thank you for stopping by,
Kim
