We stamped and stenciled a few of these PFS Magnolia's and I arranged this one done in light purples on a card base where I added The Greetery's Diamond Ribbons die cut. I die cut from black cs 3 times MB's Just A Note Posh Script for my sentiment and added a few PFS purple gems to finish the card.
Another Magnolia done in pinks this time and added to a background made with ASD's Charming Floral Background Press Plate and light gray ink. It's so hard to see the pressing these press plates give in photos, but IRL the depth & dimension is sooooo pretty!! The sentiment is from The Greetery's Opposites Attract stamp & die set and a few tiny silver gems from Gina K finished off the center of the Magnolia.
One more Magnolia card using a new PB frame die called Curvature that Michele was kind enough to cut out for me before I even got there! My sentiment is from PFS's Perfect Sentiments. Hard to see in the photo but I added glitter to all the veins in the leaves for a little sparkle.
This card uses that same ASD press plate design as card #2 and also the coordinating stencils. I love the look of the coloring with the stencil, but Michele and I both agreed it takes away from the actual press plate look and looks a lot flatter than when not stenciled. It's still pretty though and I added a PB frame (ripple) in the center to add my birthday sentiment to (The Greetery's Opposites Attract). A few silver gems and some white & silver baker's twine finished off this card.
Are you still with me?! That's it for now, but make sure you check out Michele's cards right HERE as I know she will WOW us all with what she's made! And thank you Michele for sharing all your goodies with me and making the day special as always when we get together...I treasure them!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Those ribbons make a beautiful 'trellis' for these lovely lavender Magnolias! One thing is for sure: I'll be pressing a few more of those florals with that dark grey background - SO stunning with your pink Magnolia and you've found a really pretty way to make the center of your flowers shine.
I LOve your Christmas card, Marcia - you continue to have fun with that set until we meet again!
Thanks so much for coming to play at my house and I always look forward to our next playtime!

I'm always floored by the cards that you and Michele create! And I can feel your love of flowers in each card. Your last poinsettia card is my favorite, too! And I'm already looking forward to your June playdate ;) Thanks for sharing so many beauties!
I love that you both play with the same toys and both create such marvelous makes with them! Your lavender magnolias are just as pretty as they can be and I'm swooning over you fabulous Christmas card. Each one incredible, my friend!
I am so impressed that you actually go home and get cards made, Marcia. I think I still have things I did at Michele's years ago that haven't found their way onto a card. lol Your magnolias are glorious in the various colors and on unique backgrounds. I'm loving the brightness of the Berry Sorbet on your Christmas card. So amazing!
I'm still with you, my friend! I love all your beautiful magnolias! The ribbon background is awesome and so is the press plate! The poinsettia frame is so pretty in these colors! It looks like a fun filled day together and your creativity show it!
I'm always floored with how natural your stenciling looks. You do have a way with those inks! Beautiful colors and backgrounds on these. It appears the ASD press plate and PFS Magnolia were made for each other. I love your colors on every one of these. The magnolias are so pretty growing along the curved frame with the cute "hi", too. Prolly my favorite of the bunch. However, that gorgeous poinsettia card is hugely inspiring! What pretty ink colors with the Berry Sorbet! I love seeing the results of your playdates, but I love hearing about them, too. Thanks, Marcia!
Amazing cards you've made from you playdate with Michele. The magnolia cards are my favourites. Those are such beautiful flowers and your stenciling is wonderful! I love the all over floral design of your fourth card. The colours are so pretty and I love the twine accent with the sweet tassle. I can see why you love the non-tradtional colours of your Christmas card. It's lovely with the pink shades with lime. Looks like you had a very productive playdate!! :) xx
You saved the best for last. they are all beautiful striking cards, but the last one really grabbed me...likely the gold embossing on the red card stock. Your stenciling in all cards is masterful. I can tell you had a good time just looking at the cards you finished when you got home.
These are all so pretty! The magnolia makes such beautiful cards. I must say that the last card, made into a Christmas card with non-traditional colors is exquisite. I love the refreshing colors! Looks like you came home with some amazing new goodies, which you've used beautifully.
Love your magnolia cards, especially the first one in lavender with the ribbon trellis die cut. I actually love all your cards. Such a pretty Christmas card in those colors. What a fun time you had with Michele. It is great that you can get together and have crafting fun.
Each one of these cards are just so gorgeous, Marcia. I LOVE all of the magnolia designs - they are a favorite of mine and you have done wonders with them in your colors and designs. And I too am in love with your poinsettia card. Your play dates are so special. Crafty friends are the best... especially the two of you! xx
