More Magnolias in disguise!

I have been playing around with the "stamp with another use" theme at Magnolia Down Under again. I also got some new Magnolia stamps this week and just HAD to play (I got a bit excited and think i ended up with maybe 10 new stamps :P) So I came up with 2 projects, the first is pretty self explanatory, my first shadow box card (have been meaning to make one for ages) both stamps are from the so jolly Christmas collection, the ticket is a Bizzy Bec digi, I have glittered the flowers, border on the front and inside of the card, Tilda's hair ribbon and wrapping paper and the cord and wax seals on the presents. The green brads are glitter also. I had trouble getting a good photo of this card with all the shadows, so there is a pic with and without flash, hopefully you can get an idea from what it is really like from the two. along with the Magnolia down under challenge I am also entering this card over at the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #41 - I used the colours of the frosting as inspiration for the colour scheme of the card (and the pic looks soooooo yummy, I need a cupcake now!) and Crazy 4 challenges - Birthday


Now this card might take a little more explaining, I started with a mini pizza box template from HERE and then added the top and bottom in thick card, and then an easel card on top (told you I was an addict). I have been thinking about making this for a little while, I love making little boxes and this way the box and card is combined, perfect for little gifts as a thank you or just because.
Now for the stamp, I performed a bit of surgery there. I wanted a Tilda who sat facing forward and the only one I had was Santa's little helper, but the problem was she is wearing a Santa hat so I cut off her head (ouch!) and added the head from unwrapped Tilda (I LOVE her hair) so, that's 2 Christmas Tildas on a very non Christmas card :) The papers are magnolia and flowers are from Bizzys Bec's. I have added gloss to the strawberries and cake frosting to make them all shiny and delicious.

This pic has much better colour, the top two are a bit washed out, sorry. You can also see the sentiment i embossed on the front of the box and the faux stitching/ doodling around the edge of the base and lid of the box with my gel pen.

Ta-Da! Just proof it really is a functioning box, please excuse the chipped nail polish, lol.

i am also entering this over at ABC Challenges - L is for layering and both cards qualify over at Cute Card Thursday who want to see something new (all stamps are new except for the Tildas are new and so is all the DP) and Papertake Weekly Challenge - new beginnings (stamps and DP again)

Ok, now a few details at the end so as to simplify an already long post and not fill it up with repeated links. Here is where I got what:

Bizzy Becs - stamps, flowers (some were part of a very generous prize from Bec for being one of the winners of her last Creatalicious challenge, thanks again!)
