My card fronts are headed for CHA!

Not too long ago, Diana of Magnolia-licious fame, asked her DT to make some card fronts to use at CHA in July. The only stipulation was to use Mini Maggies only! I set right to it and have already mailed off several packages. With the release of the Sweet Rainbow collection she asked for some volunteers to make up more card fronts using the new Mini's. Hello?!! My hand went up immediately and I couldn't wait to get started. Waiting for the images to arrive was hard, but Diana's service is so excellent they were here before I knew it. Although the images you will see below are not Sweet Rainbow images exclusively, all these projects are now in the hands of Diana.

So here's what I came up with...not in the order that I made them...

This card front used the #412 MINI LOVE MUFFIN. I added a little cupcake charm to the ribbon to repeat the theme.


Here is #3029 MINI TILDA IN STAR DRESS from the Sweet Rainbow collection...


This is a little treat box using #3035 MINI TILDA IN SUMMER RAIN and also some pretty Magnolia dp for the box.


Two images were used for this card front. #436 MINI MUSHROOMS WITH SNAIL and #3021 MINI TILDA WITH PONY TAIL. The sentiment is also a Mini -#703 "Just sittin' here thinking of you".



I still have several of these sweet little tins from Michael's. I covered the bottom of the tin with Magnolia dp and some retired ribbon from SU. The image is #371 MINI TILDA WITH FLOWER POT.



This next card was so much fun to make...I used #324 MINI SEEDING TILDA and used the fence die from Magnolia. Since I used this happy chick paper I added a feather along with the leaves and flowers.


This card front is a shaker card. I used #306 MINI MERMAID TILDA. The dp is also from Magnolia. The #413 PELICAN is not a Mini, but is from the Bon Voyage collection.


I was hunting in my "to be altered" box and found several little mini match boxes. I thought this sweet #290 MINI CHINESE TILDA and #738 MINI SEE YOU LATER sentiment would be good together. The paper I used to cover and line the box with is Origami paper.


Here is #290 MINI CHINESE TILDA again, and #505 MINI STONE PATHWAY, but this time as a card front. The punched borders are Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die.

Finally, I made an acetate card front, stamping a scroll butterfly image with White Stazon. The image used here is #261 MINI TILDA WITH HAWAII FLOWER.


I hope Diana will be able to use these at her CHA booth and that it will give everyone an idea of just how versatile these sweet little Mini's are!

Thanks for taking the time to read through this rather long post and I hope you've gained some inspiration for your own creations.

Hugs,
