Mini Magnolia World Coupon Book

This coupon book is my favorite project that I've made in a very long time. All together, I used four images from Magnolia's 'Mini Magnolia World' collection. On the box cover, I used: Mini Santa's Helper, Mini Secret Tilda, and Mini Santa's Bench.

All dp's are from Magnolia's 'Merry Little Christmas' paper pack. Aren't they just gorgeous? Cs is Bazzill. The flowers are from both Magnolia and my DT friend, Mindy. The gorgeous snowflake ornament in the corner is one of my favorite purchases from Boras, Sweden this Fall. I have a few more and I'm being very careful about using them. I tied the Jenni Bowlin button with bakers string that I also bought in Sweden. The doily is one that was under one of my drinks in a restaurant. I stashed it in my purse before it got wet! I cut the image and background with Spellbinder's Nestabilities. The velvet ribbon and lace are from my stash. The sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michaels. Lastly, I applied some stardust Stickles to the fur on Edwin's Santa suit.

Here's a view of the book laying down so you can see how it looks when it's closed.

Here's a closeup of the images on the front cover. The images were all colored using a combination of Copic markers and watercolors with Ranger Distress Inks. I'll list the coloring details at the end of this post.

Here you can see the inside of the book and the coupons.

 There are five coupons inside. I used the fourth image, Mini Candy Cane, on each of the coupons. The images and backgrounds were also cut with Spellbinder's Nestabilities.

Here you can see both the front and back of the coupons. I used the Magnolia Doohickey 'Vintage Tag' die for the actual coupon that's inserted in the back.

Copics: E000, 00, 02, 41, 42, 43, 44, R20, RV21, Y21, YR23

DI's: black soot, weathered wood, tumbled glass, walnut stain, antique linen, forest moss, shabby shutters, fired brick, frayed burlap
