magnolia lane suite – Laura's Creative Corner

I finally jumped on the “floating frame” bandwagon this past weekend! This was a lot of fun to make and it yields 2 projects!

We went on our bi-annual craft retreat over Cinco de Mayo weekend….I feel so much better creating so many things!! I would not teach this for my club, but maybe a class that focuses on this technique solely! I really enjoyed putting these together!

First I chose to repeat the same flower for this frame. I stamped 12 flowers and used my Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers.

Next, I cut out the flowers using the Magnolia Memory dies.

Then I placed (don’t adhere them yet) the flowers on a piece of Whisper White cut to 4″x 5 1/4″.

Then use a piece of Press & Seal and place over where you have the flowers. Once you have it where you like the placement of the flowers, firmly press the Press & Seal around the blank spaces and over the flower pieces.

Carefully flip it over and trip the excess Press & Seal away to where it is now matching the 4″x 5 1/4″ base.

To create the frame; I used two of the Rectangle Stitched dies to yield about 1/2″ frame-cut out with a die cutting machine (just enough room for the Statement of Heart to fit in the center!)

Carefully pull back the Press & Seal and then adhere the flowers to the Whisper White base using dimensionals!

I then stamped the saying on a separate piece of Whisper White to place in the center and popped up the finished frame with dimensionals. I then matted it onto a Basic Black card base.

And look at the 2nd card I made for my stepmother for Mother’s Day! She loved it!

Only a few more days until the NEW Catalog goes live! I can’t wait to be able to order from the WHOLE catalog!

Thanks for stopping by! Laura

I had so much fun creating this card last weekend at our craft retreat weekend! We timed our retreat perfectly so we can play with our pre-order products! The Magnolia Lane Suite became my favorite to create with! You will have to have this suite in your stash! (especially if you are from Texas).

To create this 3-D card, I used the Magnolia Memory dies to create the flowers and leaves. I used a Sponge Dauber and some Blushing Bride to color from the center to the outer section of the petals. I used a couple Glue Dots on the backs to layer them together. Next, I cut out the pistils with Blushing Bride and layered them on top of the Whisper White petals. To finish off the flowers, I added some Wink of Stella and a pearl.

They looked more like orchids, so I used the branch from the Seasonal Layers dies. The background was using one of my favorite go-to embossing folders, Subtle!! It’s a must have! The sentiment was cut out using the new Stitched Nested Labels! (I went a little crazy with this card!!)
