magnolia christmas {part 3}

When I first found out about Magnolia I only knew about the little girls and boys...they have more! In my package from Magnolia, I recieved a small round box...I knew what I was putting on it!  

I covered it with some Cosmo Cricket paper from last years Christmas line, and sanded off the edges. Part of the items I was sent is the green pine branch punches, under the package. {I added a little glitter to them, can ya tell?} I made a wreath of the pine brances and placed the package on top. I had a hard time getting a clear shot of the tiny label on the top of the package, but I wrote 'for you' on the label using my ultra fine pen. A few pieces of candy and what a cute gift for a special friend. In case you were wondering, I used a glue stick for applying the paper to the box.

The next stamp I fell in love with was a very pretty, scrolled snowflake.. 

Magnolia did provide me with this heart cardbase, and I wanted to make a different Christmas card.. I used a piece of My Minds Eye pp, and stamped the snowflake out in red Palette ink. I stamped the snowflake out on a lipstick pink cardstock and cut it out with a craft knife. I added glitter to all the snowflakes with my glue pen. On top of the pink cut out snowflake I added a two piece poinsettia flower {from Magnolia} and a button. The tag is from Spellbinders tag trio, and the sentiment is Paper Trey {again!} I also stamped the snowflake in the red, on the envelope. I did distress the heart edge, so it's a rustic, but modern take on a Christmas card.

So, in case you were like me and thought Magnolia was all about the little children, know you know they're a little more! enjoy!
