Using up Bits and Bobs Pt 2

Here is another project I created using scraps. I love these treat boxes they are soo easy to make.

I used a 6in by 6in piece of DSP Bella Bleu from SU (not strictly a piece of scrap!!!!). Instructions for this cutie can be found here. Then I layers the sides with bits a pieces.

The Card and Box were done in the same way.

I started with a piece of Not Quite Navy Card Stock from SU, 8 pieces were cut to 1.75in square. Then 8 pieces of Very Vanilla, cut to 1.5in square, and punched with a corner punch. I then stamped 4 each of the stamps from Say it With Scallops, and then punched them out with the coordinating scallop punch. I then blinged it up with gems and pearls from my stash.

Both projects were then finished off with Kraft Taffeta Ribbon.

I hope you like.

Have a love Valentines Day. I'm off to the Pictures to see Alvin and the Chipmunks with 6 children for Emily's Birthday Treat!!!!!

Using up Bits and Bobs Pt 1

I have been using up lots of bits and pieces recently and have come up with a few cards and boxes to share over the next three days.

I used the two tag punches from SU for this card. Punched a hole and added a brad. Then used a little sentiment and punched it out using the word window punch, again from SU.


The Papers are DCWV matched up with Chocolate Chip. The final touch was Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon, again SU.

I saw these little treat boxes demoed on Chic n' Scratch so made this and kept the tag theme going. It really was from Scraps honestly.

These are so sweet and a quick gift for anyone

Hope you like

Take Care

PS: Half Term next week, Hooray!!!!!!!

Pets Corner.

This is the last of the 5 Mangas I received in my Design Kit. And it is every bit as fab as all the others. They are all available now at Funky Kits. I love them all!!!!!

I used some old Papers from Making Memories, and some new goodies from Stampin' Up. I also used the Star Punch from Stampin' Up, always a good alternative to flowers, for a boys card!!!

Here is a dimensional shot!!

I really like this image, I'll save the card for Cameron's birthday, Not til the 31st March!! I'll have to sit down feel faint from being too organised!!!

Have a lovely evening

Coffee Time!

Coffee time is always a good time and this one is no exception. Another new release from Sugar Nellie, available from Funky Kits. I so love these new Mangas. I have so many ideas of how to use them.

Inked up with memento and coloured with my promarkers, this gorgeous girl is now enjoying a cup of caffeine!!!

I have used some new papers, from DCWV. I took the blue as a base and themed the card around this. I wanted to create a different shape as well so went for a folded back card.

One of my favourite flowers, layered, scrunched ad inked, them dressed with a jem brad from Stampin' Up.

I'm still being good and have used some ribbon from my stash, along with another of the Whimsical Words from Stampin' Ups Sale-a-bration promotion.

Here is a dimensional view.

Here is the final card. I quite like how this has turned out simple but adorable.

Thanks for popping by, hope you like

Dreamy

I was on a roll this weekend and have created so many bits and pieces. I was up early Saturday morning and seemed to have a burst of inspiration. This is the second card I have created using the Sugar Nellie releases.

This beauty is called Dreamy, I wonder what she is thinking about!!??!!

I have teamed her up with lots of Stampin' Up goodies. This sentiment is from the Whimsical Words, a Sale-a-bration set. I love it them lots of different sayings.

These flowers were created using the 5 petal flower punch, I used the new papers, Belle Bleu, teamed up with Not quite navy Cardstock and some matching brads (non SU).

Here is a dimensional shot.

And here she is in full glory. The ribbon is an organza one I have in my Stash.

Have had the first day of our mid year SATs, blimey I have a lot of work to do between now and May.

Hope you have all had a lovely day.

Take care and thanks for popping by

Sitting Pretty: New Manga! from Sugar Nellie

Don't you just love the new Mangas from Sugar Nellie, They are available now from Funky Kits

This absolute Beauty is called "Sitting Pretty". I love her. I stamped her in memento ink and coloured her using my promarkers.

I have used papers from Stampin' Up, which are hostess papers only available if you host a party are spend £150 with a demonstrator. I have cut out a favourite flower, from Sizzix, and attached a brad. The ribbon tied on the side is also from Stampin' Up, its the Kraft Taffeta Ribbon.

I then used one of the stamps from the Sale-a-bration set Whimsical Words, and punched it out using the SU Tag Punches, then attached it using the linen thread.

Here is a dimensional shot!!

And then the final card.

I don't know about all of you but I think I have been suffering from Post Christmas Creativity Blues. But Sugar Nellie has come to the rescue with these gorgeous new stamps. Make sure you check out whats new.

I hope you like. Take care nad have a lovely Sunday.

Totally Stampin' Up

This is a cased project by Monica who creates some very pretty projects. This is so sweet. I have used the same colour combo as the last couple of days, Brocade Blue, Kraft and Very Vanilla.

This stamp is from one of the Sale-a-bration sets which are available til 28th February, From Stampin' Up, so get ordering to qualify. This ribbon and brad are also from Monica's Tutorial.

I love this closure for the cello bag it make the whole project.

I hope you like sorry for the quick post, but am off shopping.

Take care and have a lovely weekend.

Craft Day Project!

I really love Stampin' Up Products and over a year ago I was introduced to Julie, a Stampin' Up demonstrator, who is a wonderful source of inspiration, and my Stampin' Up Supplier.

I recently spent an afternoon making this gorgeous project with her and a group of lovely ladies.

The box is so simple and houses a set of four cards and envelopes.

The Stamp Set is called the Flight of the Butterfly, and has now gone on my wish list, along with its matching punch. This is such a pretty set.

I love the combo, Kraft, Very Vanilla, Brocade Blue and Night of Navy, so much I bought a full set of supplies and created yesterday's project with it.

Have a great day

Blue and Kraft Combo!

Here is a project I made over a couple of weeks ago, but due to poor light not been about to photograph. But have done it at last.

I used one of Lauren Meader's Templates, Created the desk tidy in Kraft and the teamed it all up with some lovely papers from Stampin' Up, the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set and a new stamp from CC Designs.

I used some taffeta ribbon from Stampin' Up and pulled a thread in the middle, which ruched it up nicely.

Using the same supplies I created a Note book with my Bind-It-All and some Kraft taffeta Ribbon, from Stampin' Up.

I haven't paper pieced for a while some tried it out here. I really like the hair band in Brigitta's Hair.

Here is the inside of the notebook, I used a few off cuts to decorate a few pages.
Another retro punched flower layered up and topped off with a ribbon and button combo.

I hope you like.

Have a lovely evening, what is left of it.

Another Crazy Week!!

Really quick share today, this week hase been a little crazy again at work, its never ending!!!!

I bought this paint pail from Hobby Craft.

A little expensive at £2.50 but I just thought it was so cute!

I used some new DSP from Stampin Up (Nouveau Chic, £7.75), punched it using a Martha Stewart Heart Border punch, and some ribbon from my stash which matches perfectly.

Thats it simple but sweet.

I picked up my new car this evening, but can't really enjoy it as its snowing. Was driving it really tentatively!!!!!

Ohh I'm so excited, I haven't had a new car for 15 years!!!!

Right off to do some work and have a late tea.
