Magnificent Magnolias – 3 Easy Ways
Hello from Scotland! Bibi Cameron here with some easy cardmaking ideas using the new Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias—and I absolutely love it!
This super versatile kit includes:
- A stamp set with coordinating stencils
- A die set that cuts four beautiful, layered magnolia designs, plus the sentiments from the stamp set
- An embossing folder that coordinates with the stencils
Today, I used the die set to cut the magnolias, the stencils for the magnolia branches and flower vases, and the embossing folder to add texture to the stenciled vases.
I made three similar cards, each with small variations to achieve completely different looks!
First, I worked on two stenciled backgrounds.
For one of them, I used the new Heritage Chevron Weaves Stencil and Mayan Gold Relief Paste on white cardstock. For the other, I applied Oak Moss ink on Evergreen cardstock.
Next, I die-cut the magnolias out of white cardstock and inked the flowers using Vanilla Cream and Melted Butterscotch. Inks. I assembled the flowers and set them aside.
To create the flower vase, I first stenciled the vase image onto a strip of paper wide enough to capture the full design. For some of the cards, I also added stenciled branches. Then, I embossed the vases to add texture.
Once that was done, I glued the die-cut magnolias over the vases and also added small leaves from a die set that will be released next month—gorgeous! I mistakenly used it thinking it was part of the May release, so consider this a little sneak peek.
After finishing each of the three small panels, I glued two of them onto the stenciled backgrounds. For two of these, I added a gold mirror cardstock mat layer and used Instant Dimension Tape behind it to make it pop.
For a minimalistic look, I adhered the third panel directly onto the card base.
To finish, I used stamped and die-cut sentiments from the stamp set and coordinating dies included in the kit.
That's all for today.
I hope you enjoyed this post.
Hugs
Bibi.
