Thank You Gift Set

Hi all I wanted to show you this little gift set that I made for the challenge at Let's Ink It Up, I so enjoyed making this and using all new items.  The challenge is quite different and called Swaps I love the idea of this. I am also entering this into the Cupcake Challenge which is 'Thank You with Autumnal Colours'

I belong to a Stamping Ten group and order SU products each month, awhile ago I ordered the 'Forest Friends' set of stamps which I have used for the first time on this gift set.

We also have a November monthly sponsor at Stamping Vacation, 

For the month of November we have MARK'S FINEST PAPERS as our sponsor. They will be giving away 4 of the December Sneak Peek stamp sets and there will be a $25.00 gift certificate to their store as well! The winner will be raondomly chosen on December 1st! We will be showcasing their stamps throughout the month. 

Mark's Finest Papers, do a wonderful range of clear stamps, and as a DTM I received a set of these stamps very recently and decided they would be perfect for this challenge and give you a sneak peek at what you could win by joining us at Stamping Vacation.

Here is my little project

I made a little gift box using SU Rich Razzleberry card stock, I didn't follow a tutorial but used my Martha Stewart score board which has box sizes in a little fold down top, I thought this was so useful.

To decorate the box I also used Rich Razzleberry dotty ribbon and matching flowers from my stash.

For the top I stamped the tree image from the Forest Friends set then used the circle and flourishes from Mark's Finest.

This is a look at the inside when opened, the matching envelopes are at the bottom of the box.

These are the cards themselves, I used 3.5"x3.5" white card I used the same stamping method of using the SU images first then adding the circle and sentiments, there is a total of nine sentiments in the stamp set two of which were perfect for the challenge, all images have been stamped using SU Rich Razzleberry ink.

I hope you have enjoyed my little project I hope I haven't rambled on but I am so excited to be back creating again lol.

 hugs to all and see you later.

Tilda in Blue

Hi all hope you are well, I think I have found not only my health again but my love of crafting, can I thank you all once again for your kindness to me while I have been going through some rough times.  I have lost a few of my faithful followers but maybe I can tempt them back with some of my creations.

I made this card for the following challenges

Fussy and Fancy Friday - Winter Wonderland

Glitterbabe's Challenge - Anything Goes

C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Monochrome

I bought this Tilda very recently, I have wanted her for so long, in fact I was inspired by a Christmas card that I had last year from Shirley aka Nannieflash.  I have the card pinned on my wall by my craft station and look at it everyday along with other cards that I have received.

I used a bp from Elusive Images the central blue strip is pearlescent paper punched with an EK Success border punch.  I coloured Tilda with Prisma Pencils and Sansodor, I added Diamond glitter to the fairy lights on the tips of the tree and Tilda's headband.  I found some silver metallic thread which I used crossed over.  The flower is handmade and well scrunched using two different colours of pearlescent paper and punches, I also added Diamond glitter to the edges, I used a flower brad for the centre and added a snowflake charm.  I then added some punched Holly leaves at the top with, once again, Diamond Glitter, the sentiment I stamped with Momento Black Tuxedo Ink.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my card and maybe it has inspired you, thank you for visiting I am sending hugs to all and see you later.

Creative Inspirations #46

Hi all today we have a new challenge for you at 

Creative Inspirations 

and Suzi has chosen the theme

Glitter. Glamour, Girly.

Our sponsor is Paper Cupake Stamps

our Monthly Sponsor is Fantastic Ribbons

Here is my DT Card which I am also entering into this weeks 

Stamp Something Challenge - Something Pink

Totally Papercrafts - Bling It On

C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Monochrome

Paper Take Weekly - Sparkly and Bright

I love this card, I have it on my little easel and I just keep looking at it, I was pleased that I had created, what I think is a little beauty, I hope you will agree.

I used a 6x6 scalloped white card base, the bp is Basic Grey mounted onto pink card, this image of Tilda and flowers I received for my birthday from blogging buddies, I have tried to purchase this stamp but so far it has been sold out so I will just have to wait (edited) I have got one from Sir Stampalot).

I coloured Tilda with my Prisma pencils and Sansodor, I then mounted her onto pink card.  I added two ribbons and bow, the centres of the flowers are small pink flower crystals, I also added large pink pearls, and gems.  I thought this fitted the challenge nicely.

I do recommend you paying a visit to my fellow DTM as their work is gorgeous.

I really hope you will join our challenge we look forward to seeing you all.

Big Hugs
