'A Little Something' Gift Tag - Magnolia-licious November Blog Hop

Hello.

It's blog hop time at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog!  This is our last one of the year--taking a break in December.  The two Magnolia-licous teams are joining forces for this blog hop...woo-hoo!

If you're already doing the blog hop and came here from Eulanda's blog, then you're on the right track.  But if not, you may want to start at the beginning.  There's a challenge blog hop as well as a special contest about counting candy canes.  Find out more details about the blog hop and the contest, how you can enter either or both and the prizes, at the Magnolia-licious Highlites, HERE.

Here is the list of our participating DT gals in blog hop order:
Eulanda Silvey
Norma (your are here!)
 
The theme for the blog hop challenge is 'Interactive Holiday Tags'.  What I've created is this gift tag!


The interactive part is the paper circle/wheel on which I've written the message 'A little something  Just for You * Happy Christmas'.  Portions of the message appear within the window opening as you spin the wheel--so I guess you'd call this a spinner gift tag?



This adorable Magnolia image that I am featuring is called Tilda With Two Little Gifts.  She is from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012 and is available from Diana's on-line store, Magnolia-licious.

Check out the rest of the collection and Magnolia's latest Nativity Collection 2012--they're oh so cute!You will see the sample images that have been coloured by the DT gals--rather than just the black stamped images with a watermark on top of it. Click HERE and HERE.
Other stamps, both full-size and mini, are also available from Magnolia-licious. If you don't see the stamp that you want there, just ask Diana and maybe she can bring it in for you.
Not to be missed are the variety of cutting dies from Magnolia, Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn Designs.  Diana gives excellent service, discounted prices and you also earn in-store credit for every order. 


I've coloured the Tilda image with markers--my collection of Letraset Promarker and Pantone Tria markers.  The shape of the tag is from a Spellbinders Label Twenty-Eight die.  The trees were created using Dee's Distintively Christmas Stacker Tree dies.  Don't know if you can tell or not, but I've covered the trees and the snowflakes with micro-fine glitter.

Season of Light...

Hello. 

I've made another Christmas card, but I've also made it an advent calendar--a way to do the countdown of the days in December until Christmas Day.


The daily date shows up in that punched-out circle window underneath 'December'.  The dates from 1 to 25 are arranged in a circle on a movable wheel.  You can rotate the wheel by moving that piece that shows up in that punched-out semi-circle at the right side.

I've made this into an easel card so you can put the advent calendar on display.

 
 
I'm not entirely too happy with this card.  It's too busy for my liking.  Bad choice is designer papers, I think.  DP's with simpler designs would have been better.  Oh well...

I am featuring one of the adorable Tildas from A Christmas Story Colletion 2012 from Magnolia.  She is called Tilda with Christmas Candle.  I have used my Letraset markers to colour the image--Promarkers and Pantone Trias. I've added some glitter around the candle flames.

 
The stamp for this and other adorable images are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store.  Diana has a vast selection of both full-size and mini-size Magnolia images.  And...the new Nativity Collection 2012 are ready for pre-order.

Also, take a look at the selection of cutting dies from Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Magnolia, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn Designs. Diana also gives fast excellent services and discounted prices, as well as in-store credit for every order.
