 NEW for July dies are the Olive Branch, two on the die,  going opposite directions!  Love that!  I only used one complete one behind the large Phlox Flower, the rest are parts… pretty cool I think! hehe  The 8 Petal and branch die… the centers on the Phlox Flowers are from this die… I’ll show the rest on Thursday.  The awesome thing about it is, there are two different flowers and multiples of each so you don’t have to run it through the die cut machine so many  times! yea!  There is also a stem for the flowers to “grow” on!!! woohoo! There’s a new Button die and Sweet Treats die!  You’ll see them some more this week during previews and everything will be up for sale in the store THURSDAY NIGHT at 8 P.M. CST

“Hey Cupcake and Have a sweet day” are part of the NEW AmyR Stamps SWEET Sentiment set!  So awesome!  Love the sentiment sets from CC Designs… so many ways to combine messages!  Scroll down for my video using the sentiments and positioning them on your creations.  It’s also listed under the pulldown tutorial tab at the top under the header.

oh fun… I wanted a simple border… going along with the sketch I followed and I wanted to use something from the CC Designs Cutters die line so… I got out my magnetic holders and started looking…hehe… yep. that delicate little scallop border is from the Christmas Bulb Border die!!!  So lacy and feminine looking!  love it!  I had to use the Fence die!   Haven’t used it for a couple weeks.  Forgot to punch hearts in the pickets though! boo… My videos for how to’s on the fence are under the tutorial tab at the top of this page also.

This 6×6 pattern paper is from a Fancy Pants Summer pad… I doubt that it’s available anymore.  I can’t use this paper up fast enough!  I’m trying though! lol

It’s Friday…time for a new challenge at Tilda’s Town Challenges,  HERE.   It’s Time to Celebrate… so get out your Magnolia stamps and see what you can create to play a long!  We’d love to have you!  Tilda’s Town online store, filled to the brim with Magnolia goodness is the sponsor of this challenge blog.  Every week a new challenge and a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the store!  Tilda’s Town offers free shipping to anywhere!  So awesome!

I love these special edition stamps from Magnolia!  Freedom,  something to never take for granted… right now in this country we feel like we’re losing it… so much government… what country would take me in?  I don’t want politicians parenting me, deciding what they think is best for me and that is what we have right now… so disappointing.

I’ve been to New York City twice…one time was just in the airport to go overseas and the other time I went to the National Stationery Show.  It was quite the experience but I was so homesick!  Our first grandchild was just  a few months old at the time. lol   All the people walking… and where were they going?!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Oh,  am I supposed to be showing a card?!  oops!  I’m back…  four new stamps showcasing the good ‘ole USA and the Statue of Liberty… so fun!  The Freedom Background stamp is inked up with Chipped Sapphire and Fired Brick and stamped on Kraft cardstock.

I stood Liberty Tilda HERE, on the Flower Wall Post HERE, and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I was trying to match the color of an online picture of the Statue of Liberty…hmmm…. so I used ten or more markers and my picture makes her look toooo blue-ish but IRL it’s pretty cool!

America the Eagle and Liberty Banner are in the store HERE.  The chip words on the banner are from a package by K & Co.
