A distressed, snowy and blingy easel card!

Good Tuesday to you all!

Here comes a new Christmas card from me, been in a Christmasy mood lately and with the brand new stamps and papers from Magnolia I'm just in heaven! The stamps are sooo adorable and those papers are so yummy! My sewingmachine has gone warm on this card lol, I just love that look with the distressing. I've actually managed to cover 5 challenges(!!!) with this card, that's pretty good I think! :) I've made an EASEL CARD which is this weeks challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.
At Cupcake Craft Challenge they want to see SNOW in some form on your card and at Allsorts Challenge they want you to bring out the BLING. Last but not least, at Just Magnolia and Everybody-Art-Challenge they want to see DISTRESSING on your project and here is what I came up with:

Here the card lies folded together. I've made a solution to keep it together (got pictures further down) so it easily can be mailed to the recipient.

Here's some pictures of the standing EASEL CARD from different angles

The sentiment I've used is from Ladybugandfriends and the sentiment says "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". As you can see I've used one of the snowflakes to support the card when it stands.

I chose to decorate the back of the card too, but I made it very simple using a paper doily. I've put on a pair of snaps to close the card so it can lie flat.

A little closeup on the closing mechanism

This is the bottom of the card, or the back when it's closed together. Decorated with some snowflakes, brown strawthingy (never remember the name..) and my personal stamp

Just Magnolia "Bevs Sketch" and Roses on Paper "stitching"

Good Monday people! With the time I have at home these days I'm finally being productive again, so I'm gonna keep on creating as long as my mojo is here:) It also helps that I've finally figured out how the wonderous Bind It All machine works, and I just had to make another notebook!!
This book is made after Bevs sketch at Just Magnolia. It was so much fun to work with, which really helps since I do like to coordinate both the back and front of the notebook;) With my faux stitching it also qualifies for this weeks challenge at Roses on Paper. This time I used another beauty from Magnolia, little Tilda with cherry dress is sooo adorable! Together with this new yummy papers from the Magnolia Collection it turned out a little cherrydream:) I didn't want to use too much embellishments, the papers are so beautiful in itself.

The front:

This heart is quite big and heavy but I love it! It's bought at a local store who sadly burned down earlier this year.

This little charm is on the back of the book. I was gonna use the same ribbon as on the front, but I couldn't find any more of it.. :( the string is quite decorative so I went with that.

The back:
