A Random set of cards from the Craft Sale

Here are a few cards

from the weekend craft sale

from various categories ...

 

All colored with my trusty Copics...

 

 

This gorgeous flower is an oldie from

Inky Antics and the embossing folder

and dies from Spellbinders...

 

A favorite jug from Judith and the flowers are

also Judith...   colors so beautifully

 

This beautiful image is from Yvonne Albritton's

collection and the greeting from SU....

So sorry that Yvonne is no longer in the business

as she had some awesome images.

 

Here's a close-up of the centers filled

with gold micro-fine glitter...

Mommy & Daddy

A little mommy & daddy time

with a little of Charlie thrown in

for good measure.

 

 

Good times with Mommy

 

 

 

 

More fun with Mommy

and flowers made with

Spellbinders dies and

Stampin' Up punches

and designer buttons.

 

Special times with Dad & Charlie

 

Special times with Daddy

 

The Mommy & Daddy on two of the pages

were done with chipboard pieces that

have been embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's

Cosmic colors using the Batik Embossing

technique and with a little Magic Speckle

added to make them look like ceramic pieces.

 

Hope you've enjoyed these :)

 

 



Red Hat Lady Post-it Note Holder

 

I had so much fun making the first

post-it note holder and box set,

that I did another.  This time

I used an old Stampin' Up set

and did it like the Red Hat Ladies.

The boa is done with Sparkle N Soft

from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

 

Thanks for checking in :)

 

 



Yippee - the Pinwheel Album is finally done.

It seemed like a long never ending project,

but I've finished the first pinwheel album.

It was fun and I think perhaps I'll try

another in a while - maybe with

a travel theme since I have another

cruise coming up next month.

 

Anyway - here are the photos

with the pages and tags

"blinged up".

 

I used stick on pearls and rhinestones

from Stampin' Up - some jewels from

Bo Bunny, Darice, ZVA Creative along
with some unknowns

that I had in my stash...

I also highlighted some of the

flowers and swirls with a

glittery Gelly Roll pen. (that

part didn't come out well in the photos)

 

 

 

The only thing left to add is photos!

Hope you enjoyed the journey.

 

Stay tuned..........

 



 

 

 

Clutch Purse

Decided to take a little break from the pinwheel album

to create this little clutch purse card holder.

My friend, Nancy, had just done one

and I couldn't wait until she

had time to show me how

she did it, so I googled it

and found this fabulous you-tube video

that shows you step-by-step.

It's by a Stampin' Up demonstrator in the UK.

 

Here's my first attempt. 

I must say that it's pretty easy.

The normal A2 cards will not fit,

but it's perfect to hold a set of cards and envelopes

for a pretty gift. It's made using the

We R Memory Keepers

Envelope Punch Board.

 

 

I used some DP from an old

Stampin' Up stash.

It features self closing "tabs".

There's one in the back that

tucks down into the box.

You can see the one in the front

that's used for the flap.

 

The ribbon is also from Stampin' Up.

 

The pretty flower "bling" is from ???

I've purchased bunches of loose

bling over the years and just

store them in jars.

Pearls are from Bo Bunny.

Ooops - I see I missed cleaning

off a bit of glue - those camera

close-ups are a good tool for those

pesky details LOL.

 

 I plan on doing a few more of these

and fill them with cards, but this

was my prototype.

 

Hope you enjoyed it.

 

 

 

 



Butterfly

Boxes in the Round Finished

Finally finished decorating my

boxes in the round.

My husband says it looks like

a birthday cake.....

 

 

Here are two views....

With the exception of the

tiny cream flowers, the others

were all made with either the

Spellbinders Rose Creations dies

or a Cricut image.

I sponged them with Memento Potter's Clay ink

and added SU Pearls.

Found some seam binding in my stash

to add and the laces are from May Arts.

 

Here are a couple of close-ups.

 

The boxes were a lot of fun to decorate.

Hope you enjoyed them.

Yummy for Your Tummy

 

 

Here's an oldie, but goodie...

Love the little milk cartons and

the little carry box to hold the set.

 

 

The cute little birdie is a Judith image

and the greeting is Stampin' Up.

 

The Jelly Bean phrase is from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

Here's a close-up of the milk carton....  once I got

started, they were quite easy.

 

The little birdie was "fluffed up" using

Sparkle N Soft flocking from Sparkle N Sprinkle

and adhered with a Sakura Glue Pen.

 

Here's a photo of the four milk cartons

and their handy-dandy carrier.

 

You can find many various tutorials

for these milk cartons if you look around

including one by Beate Johns on Splitcoaststampers.com

 

Fill them up with candy or other

treats and they're perfect

for Valentine's Day, Easter

or any other event..

 

Thanks for stopping by...

 

 



Pink & Brown

I saw this cute box idea on a blog

I follow and went to SplitcoastStampers.com

and got the tutorial, but can't for the life

of me remember who I got the idea from :(

If it was YOU - thanks bunches!!!

It's another easy-peasy fun to do project.

 

Again, I made it simple as it will

just be my "prototype" for a

possible future class project.

I plan to do more boxes and those

I will make a little more elaborate.

 

I always try to make something a little

more "plain" the first time out

of the box (no pun intended LOL)

so that I have it for a sample to work from.

 

Here's my prototype.

 

 

The box was created using pink and brown CS from SU.

I attached the pink and brown decorative panel

together and then used a Sizzix (SU) embossing folder

to give it texture.

The greeting is also from SU from the Oval All Stamp Set

and punched with the SU Label punch.

The brown velvet brad was from Creative Imaginations.

 

Here's a close-up of the embellies.

 

The inside of the box has space for candy!  Yippee...

The tutorial shows 5 Hersey Kisses,

but, unfortunately, I ate them all before I made the box.

The greetings are more SU images

and as you can see, there's a slot for a gift card.

The decorative "slot" w as using the

SU Labels punch.

I also opted to use a corner rounder on the pizza box

type cover and used a Velcro dot to hold the

box together.  You can see that it "pouches the box out"

and for future boxes, I would use a ribbon tied around

the box as a closure instead.

I'd also go a little fancier with my inside too

depending on what the occasion was.

 

Hope you enjoyed my "prototype" for this fun project.
