Halloween Gift Bag Card Duo for Magnolia-licious

Hello Dearest Readers,

Thank you so much for stopping by on this very special day!

Today, I'd like to share a card/gift bag duo using a Halloween theme. This is my first gift bag. I still don't know if I like it or not. I created this inspiration duo for the Boo to You Halloween Theme at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. You must have your creations posted by October 2. I hope you will join the challenge.

I'd like to share my card and bag with you. Here it is:

Both the card and the bag feature lots of layers. The Magnolia stamp is a very old one that was meant for Christmas. The center Tilda HAD a crown of candles. I masked that and then drew in a witch's hat. The Tilda on the right was wearing that particular hat. I thought it looked like Halloween. The little Tilda on the left was just in a plain dress. I added the apron so that the "girls" weren't all wearing dresses that looked like sacks! LOL, LOL. I've used lots of Magnolia flowers as well as others from my stash. You can't see it, but the wings, star hat, and other elements are glittered. The green, black, and orange elements on the sack were cut using glittered card stock.

Here is a close up of the gift bag:

And now, here is the front of the card. The interior is also finished on both panels with matching embellies, papers, flowers, etc.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget and check out the gorgeous designs my teamies have created! They are posted on the Magnolia-licous Challenge Blog.

I hope you will return again very soon!

Magnolia-licious is Back w/ Tilda in the Wind!

Hello Dearest Readers,

Thank you so much for stopping by on this very special day!

Today is the grand reopening of the

Magnolia-licious Store!

Shawn and Candy will take great care of you! They are so excited to be continuing Magnolia-licious so that those of us that have loved Magnolia-licious over the years, will not be forgotten! We all hope that you will keep the confidence you have for this dear shop and continue to shop at Magnolia-licious! We all look forward to what is in the future with new products and supplies to keep us creative!

Today, I have a card to share with you featuring Tilda in the Wind from the Seaside Collection. Here is my inspiration for you! I hope you like it. I had a difficult time with the photos. Since my EOS died, I've had to work with my husband's Nikon. I have found that it just shoots darker photos. I've tried different backgrounds but the photos always have a beige cast. Any, and all, suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Here are my images:

The Bazzill card stock is a pretty pale peach. I added pretty roses in a pale mint green and matching peach colors. Tilda has been painted. A touch of lace, some pretty cocoa colored ribbon, and delicate, lacy butterflies complete the front. The papers are My Mind's Eye. Here are additional images:

Edwin Waiting for a Fish Card for Magnolia-licious

Hello Dearest Readers,

I'm so glad you stopped by today! I hope that things are going well for you.

The weather is still warm here, but at the higher elevations, the leaves are already beginning to change colors. I love Fall. The colors are always so beautiful. Do you like the smell of burning leaves. I do! LOL It's too bad that it is not allowed in the city boundaries.

Today, I have a Magnolia mini card to share with you. It's a fun card, I think. I hope you like it. Here it is:



For this card, I chose to use a mini of Edwin Waiting for a Fish from the Sweet Rainbow Collection. He just looked like he was deep in thought, don't you think? I had the little Airstream travel trailer charm and thought the size scale was perfect for Edwin and the scene I created. I had that environmental paper in my stash from years and years ago when I was creating scrapbook pages. I used light blue mini ric-rack to simulate water. How I thought of that, I don't know! It was another one of those "just before I go to sleep thoughts!" LOL The card stock is Bazzill. Edwin has been hand painted. Here is another shot:

Here are the interiors:

This was a fun card to create. I hope I've given some inspiration to you.

Magnolia-licious has the new Doohickey Kit #11 available for purchase right now! Think of all the delightful additions to Fall cards you could add using these precious dies! Here is a photo of the kit:

That little travel trailer is just the cutest ever! I love this kit!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you will return again very soon!

Chris
