This month the Magnolia-licious Design Team was offered a sketch challenge.  Well, knowing how I love sketch challenges, I pulled out the papers and got to work.  Incidentally you can see what everyone came up with HERE.  For my card I chose the sweetest little Magnolia – #306 Tilda with Garland.  Since she’s already holdng up the words Merry Christmas, I decided to let that go for the sentiment.  Be sure to check out the huge stock of Magnolias at the new Magnolia-licious Store!

I flipped the design and took a smidgen of creative license by using ribbon instead of another panel.  It’s all good, right!?!  Tilda is colored with Copics Markers and for a little bit of embellishment I took a Martha Stewart Corner punch and used it for a corner piece topped with a button. 

Lol, I don’t know what I’ll do next Christmas season when my favorite Making Memories paper is truly old and perhaps discontinued.  Oh well, perhaps using it another couple of times this season I’ll use it all up!!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia – #306 – Tilda holding Garland
Paper:  Making Memories, Bazzill
Ink:  Memento Black Tuxedo
Accessories:  Copic Markers, Ribbon, Martha Stewart Corner Punch, Button

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Have a blessed weekend!

Popping in to share another quick card I made using the Christmas releases from Our Daily Bread Designs from the set called Blessed Christmas. One can never have enough Christmas cards ready to go, right?!?  In addition to scripture there are many classic Christmas sentiments in this set and the fonts are gorgeous!

I framed the sentiment by adding two strips that I pierced with an Ornare template then tied a bow in between.  The sentiment is backed with Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Two and I attached a Martha Stewart Photo corner on each corner.  I have gotten marvelous usage from a small K&Co pad of paper called Evergreen.  The pages seem just the right size to handle most cards and I simply adored all the pages which seem to be colored more towards what I call traditional Christmas.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Blessed Christmas
Paper:  The Paper Company, K & Co. – Evergreen Mat Pad
Ink:  Colorbox Pigment – Chianti
Accessories:  Ornare Template PR0583, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Two, Martha Stewart Photo Corner Punch, Ribbon.

 I hope you are all ramping up for a fabulous time with your families for this Thanksgiving.  Thanks for stopping by today, as always, you bless me.

  • Judy DunavenNovember 19, 2009 - 10:14 am

    Okay Becca I’ ve got to hand it to you girlfriend this one is for the show case. I love the paper piercing. You don’t see to much of that because it is so time consuming. Thank you for giving of yourself in a way that really matters. Your card is a delight and of course I love the added touch of the ribbon.
    I was at Birch Run this last week end and bought the exact same stamps from ODBD. I have the Onare stencils that are similar so this is a real joy to see for me. Its off to create for me. Thanks for the inspiration.
    Hugs, JudyReplyCancel

    Becca, I like your card today. As I was looking at it, thinking something’s not quite right here, it struck me!! Becca, there is NO BOW!! Not even the stamped Northwoods bow that you’ve used in the past. There is NO bow of any kind!!!!! Yes, there is ribbon that’s a given. I keep going back to check thinking that my eyes are playing tricks on me. Really you did manage it, no bow, WOW. (LOL)

    Amazing and inspirational as always, bow or no bow!
