Hello.
Just a short posting here to show a couple cards. I am using the same image, but have given the cards different designs. Hope you like them.
Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store. Have a look there at the other equally adorable images, both full size and mini stamps. Diana also has a selection of cutting dies from Magnolia, Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn Designs.
Challenges for this card:
Magnolia Down Under Challenge #177 - Christmas
Charisma Cardz Challenge #49 - Christmas Makes
7 Kids College Fund Challenge #61 - Holiday Inspired
Divas by Design Challenge #65 - Use Some Red (entry is for the 2nd card)
Card Makin' Mamas - Happy Holidays
Cards und More Challenge #71 - Pearls
Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge #58 - Christmas
Bunny Zoe's December Challenge - Celebration
Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #58 - 'Tis the Season (use Holly Flourish and Pine branches dies)
By the way, my sister was impressed with my pinecones...LOL. I used one of the Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circle dies to make a diecut out of kraft paper, coloured it, cut it out with a scissor and then shaped it into a pinecone. Do they look real or what...hee hee.
Thanks so much for dropping by. I appreciate the visit. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!
