Tutorial - Petal Fold Cards
Petal Fold cards are so named because they have petal-like flaps that fold out to give the impression of a flower. You can alter the centre shape to have more "petals" if you prefer - for example, a pentagon will give you five "petals", a hexagon will give you six, and so on. The only thing you need to remember is that each "petal" can be no wider than half the width of the centre shape.
1. To make a finished, folded card measuring 4" square, you'll need a piece of card stock measuring 8" x 8".
2. Place the card stock on your score board and score at 2". Turn the card stock 90° and score again at 2". Turn the card stock another 90° and score at 2". Turn the card stock 90° for the final time and score at 2". You should now have four score lines that resemble a tic-tac-toe grid.
3. Use a craft knife or trimmer to remove each of the four corners along the score lines.
4. Use an oval template to round off each of the four flaps. I used an oval cutting die, traced around it with a pencil and cut away the excess with a pair of sharp scissors. Keep the cut as close as possible to the outer edge, you don't want to make the "petal" too short.
Alternatively, use a corner punch to remove the corners. Your card will look more square but the effect will still be the same.
5. That's it for the card base... now to decorate!
6. Use the "petals" as a template to cut some patterned paper. I cut mine a little smaller than each petal so that I would be left with a border. You'll also need a square piece for the centre of the card.
7. I added a white piece of card stock to the bottom "petal" so I could write a message to the recipient.
8. Cut another four pieces of patterned paper for the outside of the card, using the "petals" as a template. Again, I made the patterned paper slightly smaller so that I'd be left with a little border.
9. You can decorate the outside of your card however you desire. I decided to secure a large piece of ribbon to the back of my card so that I could tie it closed. The ribbon bow does double duty as decoration for my completed card.

Magnolia Mini Album
Generally I like to have some tags and embellishments poking out the top and sides of my mini albums, but I decided to keep this one streamlined. Each page is folded to create a pocket that contains a large, decorated tag. I decorated the front cover with a coloured and fussy cut Magnolia stamp, a die cut title, ribbon and a doily.

Shaped Card
Pink bling card stock and a fancy shaped die were the perfect accompaniments for a magnolia image coloured with watercolour pencils. A white, double-bow adds a nice finishing touch.

New Release: Magnolias
It's hard to resist a pretty magnolia flower with it's delicate colours and magnificent fragrance. They're especially stunning when they bloom in abundance on a big old tree before the leaves have had a chance to unfurl. Happily, they also make great subjects for stamping and card making!
My designers have done a really great job creating inspiring cards and projects with this new set. Check out their colouring, composition and awesome ideas below, and don't forget to follow them on Instagram and Facebook for even more inspiration!

Easel Card
I used the magnolias from my no-line colouring to make a simple easel card. I'm thinking it needs a little more pizzazz before I send it to someone... perhaps some rhinestones or sequins to give it a little bit of sparkle?

No-Line Colouring
Coloured pencils on kraft paper is one of my favourite combinations, particularly when there are areas of bright white. I stamped one of the magnolia images from the new Magnolias stamp set onto a piece of kraft paper using light brown ink, then coloured with Prismacolor pencils. Once the image is fully coloured, you can no longer see the ink, giving the impression that the image has been drawn directly onto the paper.
