Sweet Magnolia Window Card 

By Sue Smyth 

There is no doubt that Magnolia Lane papers make a 

pretty card. I have seen so many made 

by other artists and I am so proud that

everybody finds it easy to create beauty

with the range ...

So here is my take on a pretty card, which is relatively simple and

easy to make, just follow my step by steps below 

Trim pink cardstock to make a card blank measuring 

12 x  13.5 cm or what ever suits the embossing folder.

Then trim white cardstock to 13 x 11 cm 

Use an oval die to cut an oval in both the card base

and the white overlay.

Emboss the overlay with Magnolia Lane petite and tied together

embossing fold, Rub over with pearl paint. 

And adhere to card front.

Trim out a patterned paper of your choice

to fit the inside card, and 

cut out an elegant lady from Magnolia Lane 

Poetical labels paper.

Die cut a scalloped oval from white cardstock

then use a nested oval to die cut that, to make a frame.

Cover frame with Dimensional magic and sprinkle with

white glitter. When dry, adhere to front of 

card with 3 d foam tape.

Roughly trim out magnolias and butter fly from, Floral fancy

and Poetical labels paper. Adhere to scrap cardstock 

with a glue stick.

Then fussy cut to form a sturdy element for your card.

Die cut Rose cutting leaf in pale green cardstock, Then 

apply Victorian Velvet or Worn Lipstick to the ends of 

the leaves for a little detail.

Cover the Butterfly with Dimensional Magic

and sprinkle with a little glitter.

Remember a little, not a lot, as too much

will obliterate the design underneath!

Now arrange elements you have created on the front 

of the card. before adhering in place. Snip 

up the leaves for more versatility.

Adhere in place, using 3 D foam tape to layer up

pink magnolias.

Now add in small pearls to every intersection on the

embossing folder.

I do this last, as not all of the folder is visible, so you only need

to add pearls where the intersections are visible.

Also add some 3mm rhinestones to the flower 

centres. I always use extra glue when

adhering small rhinestones and pearls

for a good secure bond.

And there you have it, a finished card.

You can add a small sentiment or generous bow

if you need to.

Happy Crafting
