Living in the south you can’t venture far without being in view of these stately trees and the beauty of their large milky blooms. Since I have several Gem Magnolia trees in my yard– I can attest that Stampin’ Up! did an excellent job capturing their beauty and regal essence. The earthy color palette (Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, So Saffron & Petal Pink) and patterns from both the DSP and coordinating Memories and More (M&M) kits and card packs are equally versatile as they are elegant. Turn them over and the patterns play well for masculine card making. The kraft paper cards and envelops are perfect for masculine cards as well. Great versatility.
This was the first product suite purchase I made after I watched these products demonstrated in Charlotte during Stampin’ Up’s ON STAGE (as evidenced by my earlier BLOG post where I featured the magnolia wreath) so I wanted to feature more projects. The VIDEO below not only showcases the products; but includes the steps for creating the flowers and tips for how I assembled several cards as well.
Since I refer to my earlier Magnolia Wreath blog, here is the link. It has all the products and dimensions for the wreath I describe in the video.
