Magnolia-licious Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  It's time for the Magnolia-licious Highlites monthly blog hop.  Our theme this month is LOVE and we must create something other than a card.  So this month I made 2 different types of gift boxes that I plan to give to my daughters for Valentine's Day.


 First up is this adorable cupcake giftbox:


I used WOC flowers in purples and pinks.  Also I used pearls to embellish around the flowers and cupcake bottom.  This lovely Magnolia image is from the 2013 Love Collection by Magnolia and she is called  "I Am In Love." She is currently available at Magnolia-licious along with the So Wrapped Lovely Folded Heart Tag Doohickey die.





Next up, I made a heart shaped paper gift box:


Again I embellished with more flowers from WOC and a ribbon flower and crystal picks that I picked up at Joanne Fabrics along with the ribbon pearls.  This Magnolia image is also from the 2013 Love Collection by Magnolia and is called "Tilda Blowing Hearts." You can pick her up at Magnolia-licious also along with these gorgeous new papers from this Love Collection and the Memory Box lowercase letters that spelled out love.




Have you heard of the Alex and Ani bracelets?  Well I bought each of my girls one for Valentine's Day.  They fit in the box nicely, don't they?  I hope they like them.

Please see below for the blog hop order.

That's it from me today.  I hope you enjoyed my projects and can let me know what you think.  Enjoy the rest of the hop.  Have a great day!
