Magnolia Card

This is a card I made for no reason other than I wanted to use some of my new MME papers and Martha Stewart Hydrangea punches. The papers are fab, I love the colours and I found this Tilda in my box (it has never been used!).
We went over to Once Upon A Stamp yesterday to see them demoing the new Just Rite Nestie stamps, they looked really good and I am looking forward to seeing the Xmas ones which will be available for pre order from their website soon. They also have all of the new release Nesties in stock so I just had to get a couple!!

Cute Card Thursday 'Lazy Dayz' Challenge - Surf Tilda Suitcase Card

This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is Lazy Dayz. I have used some of the new stamps from the Lazy Summer Days collection by Magnolia, I love these stamps and they are such fun to colour in. I thought they were perfect for a suitcase style card and I have added an insert and stand to the card. I have an idea for a male version of this card using some older Magnolia stamps and hopefully I will get time to make 1 next week! I am still having trouble taking photos, I think it is time to start saving for a new camera!
