First, I stamped, colored and die cut a couple of magnolias on the squares of Basic White. I used the markers and the Magnolia Memory Dies.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the right side of the Basic White 1-1/2 x 4 inch strip, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered it onto the DSP panel as shown above.

I added the two colored magnolias to the left side of the sentiment, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Frosted Flower and an Elegant Faceted Gem to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card I made using a different sentiment from the same stamp set:

Morning Eclipse

This technique does work best in black and white. Plus, I like the effect. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Good Morning Magnolia

Paper:

   Smoky Slate A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (5)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Stamped Eclipse

Accessories:

   Florentine Thinlits Dies

   Stamparatus/MISTI/Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the image on two panels, using Tuxedo Black Memento. The stamping must be exact on each one, so it's advisable to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stamparatus, or a MISTI tool.

I then took one of the stamped images and die cut it, using the Florentine Thinlit Die. Any large background die will work on this technique.

Next, I die cut another two Basic White panels, using the same die cut.

I then adhered all of the die cut panels together, making sure the stamped die cut ended up on top of the stack. I used the fine tip glue pen for this, but you can use any adhesive, or an adhesive sheet.

I then adhered the die cut stack onto the stamped panel. The images should align perfectly, giving you a stamped eclipse of the images. 

Lastly, I adhered these onto the Smoky Slate card front, and adhered a Basic White panel onto the inside of the card. 

I purposely left off a sentiment, allowing this to be an All-Occasion card.

Morning Cross

These beautiful magnolias are perfect for any occasion. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Good Morning Magnolia

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2, 1" Circle

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Magnolia Lane DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

   Gold Foil Paper Scrap

Ink:

   StazOn Jet Black

Markers:

   Petal Pink

   Mossy Meadow

   Soft Suede

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Magnolia Memory Dies

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   1" Circle Punch

   Natural Finish Ribbon 6"

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

   Stampin' Seal+

First, I cut 6" of the Natural Finish Ribbon and stamped the sentiment using StazOn Jet Black ink. I set it aside to make sure it dried completely. (It dries very quickly, but I didn't want to take any chances.)

Next, I stamped and colored a magnolia, using markers. I then used the Magnolia Memory Dies to cut it. I set this aside next to the ribbon.

I then used a scrap of Gold Foil Paper to die cut a cross with the Cross of Hope Framelits. I actually used the frame around the die cut cross for this card. The solid gold frame, I used on another card.

To accent the cross and make sure it did not get lost among the magnolias, I punched a 1" circle of Petal Pink card-stock and adhered the cross frame, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

My next step was to assemble my card. 

I added a few glue dots to the back of the stamped Natural Finish Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom portion of my Magnolia Lane DSP. I added some Stampin' Seal+ to the back of the DSP panel and wrapped the rest of the ribbon to the back of it. I adhered this panel to the Basic Black matte with some liquid adhesive.

I then adhered the Petal Pink circle with the cross to the top portion of the panel and added the die cut magnolia next to the sentiment with some dimensionals.

I adhered this panel to the Petal Pink card front and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Lastly, I added a Basic Pearl Jewel to the Magnolia.

White Magnolia

 The white magnolia is puffed out on the vellum. When the fibers in the vellum are broken up the vellum turns white. I do like this look and feel to the card. What are your thoughts?

Stamps:

   Good Morning Magnolia

Paper:

   Soft Sea Foam A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Garden Impressions DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Shaded Spruce

   Soft Sea Foam

   Sahara Sand

Technique:

   Puffy Vellum

Accessories:

   Ball Stylus

   Foam Mat

   Stamparatus/MISTI/Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the magnolia on the vellum and let it dry. I did use my MISTI to get a good impression of the magnolia. I had to stamp the middle several times.

Once the image was dry, I placed the vellum upside down on my foam mat. Using my ball stylus, I gently applied pressure in circular patters until the fibers inside the magnolia were all broken up. The black lines do not fade away, so do not worry.

Next, I colored in the leaves and the stem with my markers. I like to color on the back of the vellum to prevent any smearing.  

Once dry, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom. Let it dry a bit and then adhered it to the Garden Impressions DSP. This was then adhered to the Night of Navy panel and then onto the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

Vellum is perfect to use when you want to show off your background as it complements your main image.

Pink Petals

The Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper is so beautiful that it can adorn a card front all by itself. It would be a disgrace to cover up such beauty. So, I have just added a simple sentiment on a strip of Petal Pink cardstock. I hope you like it.

Stamps:

   Good Morning Magnolia

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2, 4-1/2 x 3/4 (trim to fit)

   Magnolia Lane DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Mossy Meadow

Technique:

   Stamparatus/MISTI

Accessories:

   Stamparatus/MISTI

   Pink Brads

   Adhesive

The use of a Stamparatus/MISTI is optional. It does guarantee precise placement of the sentiment with the ability to stamp several times on the same spot. Of course, you can always stamp first and then cut the cardstock down to size, making sure the sentiment is centered.
