Gift Box for the birthday girl

We have a birthday at Stamp Club this week so that means a little box of chocolates for the birthday girl...I love this cute little box!! It's a Lauren Meander template called Tucked Away.

To make the large flower I used the scallop cirlce and cut between each scallop. I used my bone folder to curve the petals and stuck on on top of the other and added a button....the smaller flowers were made the same way using the largest flower from the Boho Blossoms punch.. I think  it's really sweet ..I will be making more of these

A Gift For A Friend

I just made this for my friend's birthday tomorrow...full of chocolate of course!

This is the top view...I wantd to make these lillies again, it was much easier this time around.

..and this is her birthday card..I was over making lillies by that stage..that friend stamp is one of my faves.

While I am here I might as well show you some more Christmas cards I have made. This one is a case of Tenealle Williams, using Sahara Sand and Whisper White card and ink.

another one with the Snow Swirled stamp set, embossed in silver with a Bashful Blue base.

That's all for today...back to what you were doing!

Card in a Box

I am always amazed at how clever some people are...I saw this idea while I was blog surfing here Papercrafts Love Affair. (Look in the sidbar and you will find a video tutorial added by the very talented Valita!) Please go and have a look, Shari has a really easy tutorial to follow for making the box and the punched flowers. Its actually called a scrapbook in a box but I have made this for my mums 80th birthday for the family to sign...I just love it!! I did however stuff up... I was meant to use Certainly Celery ink on the flowers but I used Wild Wasabi, so the inking is a bit in your face..never mind, its still pretty.

This is what the inside looks like..The "box" opens out flat..you can add photos, journaling or use it as a card...clever clever clever....why can't I be that clever!

Some kids cards....and more

I hve been wanting to make a waterfall card for ages but never had the right stamps..My upline Angie made one using Bugs and Kisses so now I finally have this set (thanks to Stampin Start!) I was able to go ahead....love that little old ant!!

This is what it looks like when you tug on the doodad (tech term lol)

This one is a penny spinner..or in this case a five cent spinner...when you tip the card from side to side the rocket (from Pun Fun) rolls around..I will be using this as a class example  of why you should use a Stamp a ma jig..the sentiment in the word window is crooked...unless you tilt your head to one side..then it's fine!

I did this for a bit of valentine fun...pretend that is a stick of latte instead of cappacino...I was fresh out!!

Another stamp from the Pun Fun Set 115854...love that set to bits!!

Next is an origami gift box...I purchased the template online..this is it closed

The top view showing the flower I made with Petal Pizzazz 115850. I used the rock and roll method and cut between the petals...also scored the centre of the petals, then turned it over (on a mouse pad) and used the end of a biro to rub the leaves to make them kind of 3D -ish.

This is what it looks like when it is opened up..I made it to hold a bracelet my daughter is giving to her friend for her birthday...shhh!

Ans lastly my sister asked me to make her a simple baby card...th erattle from Something Sweet with a treat cup full of buttons...did a bit of hand stitching on this one...haven't done that for a while...that's all folks
