This is a stunning set. A beautiful big image of the
magnolia and lots of coordinating dies.
I made this box of thank you cards for my niece for her
shower. It’s a simple design. First cut a whisper white piece 4 x 5 ¼, die
cut the lower edge of this card. Then
stamp the “thank you”. I chose a
different set for my thank you (as I prefer thank you to thanks). My thank you
is from the new Kindness and Compassion set.
Cut a piece of the designer paper 4 x 1 ¼. Add this to the
front of your card base. Then add your
base with the “thank you”.
Stamp the big magnolia and with your blends (alcohol markers)
add a bit of a darker pink (I used the petal pink combination) then pull the
dark pink out with the lighter petal pink.
Color in the leaves. I used Old Olive (Mossy Meadow would work) but I
prefer the lighter green.
Die cut the flower, add a little bow with the matching
twine. Add the flower to the front of the
card.
I then added a little artisan pearl next to my thank you.
This card would be great as a birthday or a hello or a
sympathy card.
I made a lot of these cards for her and made a deep box to
put them in. The box is a bit wider than
usual as I wanted to insert a pretty pen to the side. The finished box is 6 x 5
and the base is 2” deep and the lid 1” deep. So here are the measurements:
Base is 10 x 9 (cut a 1/16” smidge off 2 connecting sides)
and score at 2” on all sides. Trim the
tabs and make into a box.
Lid is 8 x 7 and scored at 1” on all sides. Trim the tabs
and make into a box. Make a final card (or a card front) and add to the front
of the box.
Pretty and very easy to make. The coloring took a little extra time but I
liked the look. A faster way to do this coloring is to use a dauber and “daub”
on the color at the base of the flower.
Happy stamping!
