Magnolia Christmas Advent Calendar

Merry Christmas to all of my Magnolia friends, today is my day to host the Magnolia DT advent. I hope you like what I have prepared for you.

Magnolia are kindly offering a wonderful Christmas gift to a lucky fan. Just leave a comment on my post and I will choose a comment and publish tomorrow.

My project is a card I've made to look like an envelope with a letter to Santa from Tilda and Edwin. 

There is a silver embossed stamp and I have also dry embossed some cream card and printed Santa's address onto vellum and stitched and distressed the edges. 

Some bells and die cut embellishments to decorate. 

Inside... what do we find?

A little pop up scene with Tilda and Edwin playing in the snow. Do you think little Tilda is being cheeky?

Poor Edwin, I don't think he suspects a thing, do you? But little Rudolf has caught on, hehe.

We have a little "wish list" tag for the children to tell Santa what they would like to see under the tree Christmas morning... and a "Naughty or Nice" sentiment.... I wonder who is naughty and who is nice?

And here you can see a little bit how I have popped up the characters in the scene.

I thought acetate sheets would be the best so they were hidden, but it turns out they're a little tricky to stick!

A view from above.

Some embellishments inside. Lots of doo hickey die cuts. And Magnolia sentiments. 

And finally the back of the card, the return address for Santa :)

So what do you think? Will Tilda and Edwin wake up to some presents on Christmas morning or is someone going to be disappointed? I hope Santa has a sense of humor, haha.

I hope you like my card. It is a bit more detailed than what I've been making lately and a great chance to challenge myself. It has been a hard year here for my family and we are very much looking forward to 2014.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!

Remember - leave a comment to be in the running to win a present from Magnolia!

Miracles

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a magic day.

I have cute Wizard Tilda here to share with you today. She is one of the adorable new stamps from the Princes and Princesses collection. I have masked her with the Sun background from the Pets collection 2009 and the heart fence from Party and Vacation 2008.

Lots of fun Wild Orchid Crafts embellishments are on this card.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day :)

Tilda's Easter Egg Hunt

Hi! Happy Friday to you all :)

Today I have "Tilda with Lace Jeans" to show you. She is from the new Butterfly Dreams collection. I've masked her behind the cute little mini "Two Eggs" (Hoppy Easter collection 2010) and stamped the New Years Swirl (New Year collection 2008) around the edge of the image.

I have used the amazing "Pion Design" papers again that my gorgeous friend Louise sent me - thank you Hunni! I am loving them! I've used two Doo Hickey dies, "Peony Petals" and "Romantic Lace", there is some of Tim Holtz's film strip ribbon in there and some coloured seam binding ribbon.  The crochet doily is Kaisercraft.

You can see a little peek of the inside of the card - I've actually decorated it too for a change, lol, but I didnt get any pics, sorry!  The large curly rose and the aster flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The silver photo corner is actually a brad! Cute hey?

Tilda is coloured with Copics: Skin - E 13, 11, 000, 0000, R 20, 00; Hair: E 44, 23, 41, 0000; Overalls: B 95, 23, 21; Shirt: E 42, 41, 0000; Bow: R37, 22, 00, 0000; Shoes: E 44, 42, 41; Eggs: G 82, 000, 0000, R 35, 20, 00, 0000; Hue: B 52, 0000; Ground: W 3, YG 61

So thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today! Have a terrific weekend! 

Hugs,

Kylie
