Sweet 16 matching card and gift boxes

As promised here is my second bag in box project. My daughter and I made these on Friday afternoon for a 16th birthday. Tayla made this lovely birthday card and that set the theme for the pillow box and gift bag.

The bicycle was cut on my KNK Maxx electronic cutter. The DSP is Typeset. The sentiments is from the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the banner was punch from the triple banner punch. 

The rear butterfly is from the new Bold Butterfly framelits stamped with a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes Stamp Set. It is available as a bundle. The front butterfly is from the Butterfly thinnest which is also available in a bundle with the Butterfly Basics stamp set. I love them both, but most especially the dies. I have included the product links below.
See yesterdays post for the you tub link instructions for the bag. 

The pillow box was cut with my KNK Maxx electronic cutter. The surprise stamp is from the Amazing Birthday stamp set, which is also available as a bundle with the banner frailest. I included the link below.  

This is how the whole gift set looked together. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Box in a Bag

Hi,
It's been a busy crafting week.
I have been using a some retired cardstock and making gifts for friends and family.

I love the bag in a box, here is a link to  Luvin Stampin, Box in a Bag.
 I used the measurements from here, but made a few design changes.
There a loads of other you tube videos on the bags, so have a look and choose one you like. 
I filled the bag with 6 cards. This is a lovely gift idea that you can make for your friends and family.

Add a comment if you would like any more details about this project.

I CASED the card from Starlightstamper.com

I will will posting my next bag in a box project tomorrow. So drop by again.

Don't forget to check my tabs at the top of the page for the Weekly specials and the Clearance Rack, there are some great deals available. You can use the shop now button, or drop me an email or give me a call.

Keep Crafting

One sheet wonder technique. Randomly stamp a single image all over your card stock and you have created your own DSP, that perfectly coordinates with your planned project. 

This card used the new Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess Stamp Set. 

Lego Card

Hi Girls,
It was my Nephew's birthday this week and we gave him some Lego, so it was a no brainer that I would need a Lego card to go with his gift. I used a hole punch for the circles and double layered them added some white gel pen to make them 'pop'

Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone,
I hope you have all had a little time to craft.

If you're like me, you spend plenty of time on Pinterest looking for inspiration and CASEing (Copy and Share Everything), as there are so many beautiful cards out there, but there is nothing like that feeling of accomplishment when you actually create something of your own.

This week I participated in my very first sketch challenge, compliments of my lovely upline Chloe Evans at chloscraftcloset.

Here is the challenge sketch....

And here is my card.....

Products used: Butterfly basics stamp set, Sahara Sand ink, and multiple embossing folders (the small hearts one is retired).  White ribbon coloured with my sahara ink reindeer to match.

 I loved the inchies concept and saw a design on Pinterest which inspired my second card below.

Products used: Butterfly Basics stamp set, Early expresso ink. The flowers were paper pieced with some retired DSP and dazzling diamonds and a rhinestone added. The sentiment  is from the Petite Pairs stamp set, but I used my stamp positioner to have a single line sentiment instead of multi lines.

All current products used a linked below. Just click on the link and you will be taken to my shop. If you have any questions please drop me an email or give me a call. I have used the Butterfly Basics stamp set in both my cards, and it is one of my favourites, the stamp set is also available as a bundle (save 15%) with the matching dies.

Bright and Happy

I love sharing my paper crafting with my lovely daughter Tayla, and last week she found a card that she loved on Pinterest from a blog called I'm in Haven. So this was my CASE of that card. I love all things rainbow, don't you.

GIFT CARD PACKAGING

I have had quite a few family and friend birthdays recently and I have a veritable rush of them in July, many of the gifts I give are to one that have to be posted so a gift card is always an excellent solution. I love how Stampin Up have so many ways that you can make a gift card so much more special that just sticking it in an envelope. Here are two that I have sent recently, both were for boys.

 Love the new Cherry on Top Paper Stack and Bermuda Bay sequins.

Tri fold gift card holder with belly band, oh and there are those beautiful Bermuda Bay sequins again

I hope you enjoy your short week!

Lotus Blossom waterfall card

Probably my favourite freebie during Sale-a-bration was the
Lotus Blossom stamp set.
So here is the birthday card I made for my friend and
fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator Chloe Evans last friday.
It is a waterfall card.
You simply pull the tag and each of the beautiful lotus blossoms appear.

If you would like to make a waterfall card yourself they are very easy,
here is a link for a great youtube tutorial by StampinByHannah

I am currently making a large scale version for a special birthday
using photos on the panels. I will post a photo after the event.

Well it's off to my craft room I go to make Easter bunnies and chicks.

Happy Crafting!

Butterflies and Balloons

Last Friday I received some long awaited new product from the lovely Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues. I managed to keep my box sealed and get my housework done on Friday but on Saturday I ripped that box open. I have tried to be a little more organised this year and have made a list of the cards I need to send between now and the end of March and it totalled 13, so my new product will get put to good use.

Here are three of my cards, the first 2 use the Butterfly Basics stamp set and matching butterfly thinlets  and the third card uses the Celebrate Today stamp set and matching Balloon thinlits. Both stamp sets can be bought as a bundle with the matching thinlits and you save 15% , just check the catalogue for the bundle code, when placing your order.

 This one was CASed (Copy And Share) from Brandy's cards, with just a couple of small changes. Here is the you tube link to her video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hdjf8I3wEY

 In the background of this card I use the new Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper (DSP), which you can colour to match any project you are completing. It is available as a free gift in the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

I made this card for my godson, Cooper who turns 15 today. Happy Birthday Cooper!!
