Gift Set

Hi to you all. Even though this little set was finished last night, it was far too late for my eyes to sit at the computer to share. At 3.30am I needed some sleep.

I have used Kaisercraft papers from the Le Chateau Collection and the a fantastic Martha Stewart border punch. The front of the card is based on an acrylic sheet which gives it a different effect and works well with the clear sleeve box.

Wednesdays Challenge at All That Scraps is to make a clear card.
I have also followed the sketch from the Papertake Weekly Challenge.

Anything goes this week at Just Magnolia, so here goes.

This is Tilda with Birdcage, I have had her for awhile now and have only just got around to using her. Flowers are a mixure from Magnolia, Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts & Zva.
This Clear Sleeve Box is the challenge at Project Tuesday. Very simple to make and instructions can be found on their blog if you need them. Make sure you take a look they have other fantastic projects all the time! Butterflies, fairies or angels is always on the go at Flutterby Wednesdays, and I love butterflies. So this is for their weekly challenge too.

Edwin card

 

At last I'm begining to get back into my papercrafting, it seems like months more than weeks. I have had a lot going on and haven't felt very inspired. This is the first time I have used a stamp from my Magnolia stamp kit which arrived a couple of weeks ago. When I first saw this image, the words 'hang in there' came to mind, here is 'Dangling Edwin' from the new Bon Voyage collection. I've also used the rope, pelican and text stamp.

I have made this card for the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge #16, the theme is to use an Edwin stamp.

 Here is the inside, I put the text inside the lifesaving ring image and coloured it aswell as the pelican with copics. The 'tide always turns' text has been stamped. Edge was done with a fiskars punch.

Here you can see how I've used the acetate and added a Hambly Screen Prints white rubon and some Papermania rhinestones.

Christmas in July

It's Tilda unwrapping a present for Christmas in July. I have used these papers from Kaiser's Christmas range frome last year called 'Christmas Carnival' The colours work in perfectly for The Colour Throwdown Challenge #100.The ornaments and text edges, have been sparkled up with some 3D Kindy Glitz, 'glittered crystalina'. Bow was made with the fantastic bow easy and stitched to the ribbon. I used some double sided tape to ruffle the tails of the bow.

I was really pleased with the colours I used,

I've listed them below just in case you like them too.

I've also entered this card into the Fussy and Fancy Friday challenge - Christmas In July

aswell as the Pixie Dust Studio Pixie Challege - Sketch challenge with a Christmas theme.

Here is their sketch, I've turned it on it's side.

Box in a Bag

You can get your very own at Debbie's Etsy shop. It comes in a great range of colours too!
