Pizza Tilda and Pizza Doohickeys to Share

Hello Dearest Readers,

Happy July 26th to each of you! I hope this post finds you happy and well! Things here are getting more and more difficult. Keep us in your prayers. We need ALL we can get. I am so thankful for each and every day we share. There are days when I so desperately need a hug.

Today begins a new challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog! Our theme this time around is

Checks or Gingham

For my card, I wanted to use a cooking theme. I thought about the checkered tablecloths found in Italian restaurants. That got me thinking about food, LOL, pasta and pizza! From there, my old brain went to Pizza Tilda which you can find HERE along with a mini of Pasta Edwin which you can find HERE. I thought they would make a perfect pairing.

Would you like to see the front of my card? Here it is:

As you can see, I used a TON of Doohickey Dies. I used:

Parsley & Rocket Salad - http://magnoliastamps.us/magnolia-doohickey-cutting-dies/pre-order-parsley-and-rocket-salad

Pizza with Toppings Doohickey Dies
Oregano and Basil Doohickey Dies

I hand painted the leaves, Tilda, Edwin, and accentuated the pizza edges. I really had fun with this little cutie of a card!

Here's a "teaser" of the interior:

Hap-"Bee" Birthday with Honeybee Tilda

Happy Tuesday to you, dearest readers,

How are you today? Did you have a good weekend? Have you been busy creating wonderful things? I've just been working at creating cards so that I don't get behind! I'm slow and time keeps moving forward!

A new challenge begins today at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog! Today, our new challenge is -

Happy Birthday!

I had so much fun with this challenge because I got to play with my new Doohickey Club bee themed dies!

Here are a couple of fun facts. Each of the 50 states in the USA has a nickname. Nevada, for example, is the Silver State because of all of the silver mined there. I live in Utah, and it is the BEEHIVE STATE! Utah got this nickname, and uses the beehive as a state symbol, because early pioneers used the beehive to represent hard work, perseverance, and industriousness. The pioneers saw the example of a beehive, in which all of the workers cooperated in the construction of something much bigger than themselves, as a model for a properly run society. So, now you know why Utah is the Beehive State!

Want to see my "honey" of a card? Well, here it is:

The honeybee paper is from my scrapbooking days. I just always thought it was too cute! I used Doohickey Dies from Kit #10. I used the honeycomb hexagons, bee, as well as the beehive. The bees' wings were cut from vellum and covered with a delicate layer of Wink of Stella to give them sparkle. The stamps are Honeybee Tilda and the Honey jar. A touch of black lace, some fun flowers, and machine stitching complete the front panel.

Here is a photo of the Magnolia Flower Beehive (available HERE) which I used on the interior. Here is a closeup of the hive I used on the interior:

The Magnolia Flower Beehive is from the 2009 Chasing Butterflies Collection in case you were curious.

Volang Dress Tilda says, "Congratulations!"

Hello Dearest Readers,

How are things going with you? I hope all is well. Thank you for visiting my blog! I am so glad that you took the time to drop by.

Today, I have a sweet, feminine card to share with you featuring Volang Dress Tilda from the Magnolia Boho Collection. You can find her HERE. The photo looks like the papers are gray, but they are a lovely soft sage green - like the color of the text on this page. I think they are Pion. Here it is:

I chose this paper because I knew I was going in a vintage direction with that particular Tilda. The card is so soft looking with the pale pinks and whites. I had a pretty little poofy thingy that matched the colors of the card so well, so I plopped it in the center of the rose! LOL Some pearls, a vintage hanger charm, a touch of lace, and pretty flowers finish off the embellies. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white.

I think the interior panels look so feminine, too, with the pretty flowers, matching pink seam binding, and the framed vintage image.

My little card is for sale in my Etsy Shop if you are interested.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you will return again very soon!

XO,

Chris
