Easter Surprise

This is another of the projects that I created for Issue 25 of Crafter's Inspiration Magazine, I was asked to create three off the page projects using the Easter Treats Digi collection.

I decided to create a simple exploding box to put some little Easter eggs in.  I cut the box from Crafter's Companion Stamping Card - this card is perfect for card bases and construction.  To decorate the box I used two of the papers and some of the toppers from the digi collection along with some red solid paper also printed from the CD.

I just popped some chocolate Easter eggs into a cellophane bag and secured it with a ribbon to complete my project.

Fun and Games

This is the card that I created for my youngest son to give to my eldest son for his Birthday.

I used my Hunkydory Sporting Favourites Picture Perfect Pad, you get a fantastic range of artwork in these pads, you get four sheets of each design so they are perfect for creating decoupage as well.

Mr & Mrs

We went to my Brother-in-Law's Wedding on Friday, they have been together for fifteen years and decided to marry at last - this is the card that I made for them.

I used a combination of Crafter's Companion, Sue Wilson and Tonic dies to create my card - the panel, Mr & Mrs and rings are all Crafer's Companion dies, the plain and scalloped hearts are Tonic and the pierced square is a Sue Wilson die.

We had a fabulous day, the bride looked lovely and the weather was kind to us.  This is a photo of the happy couple.

Yippee

This is the card that I made for a close family friend recently, it was her Birthday just before Christmas.

I wanted to make something bright and cheerful so I used the Echo Park Party Time collection.  I found a little verse on the internet to add to the inside.

Winter Owl

The February edition of Making Cards Magazine is in the shops today so that means I can share the cards that I created for the January issue.

This is one of four cards that I created using the beautiful Winter Owl digital papers that were available totally free on the Making Cards Magazine Facebook page, you can find them HERE - simply click on the link that says 'Free Craft Papers' and you will find the new ones.

I used one of the toppers and one of the papers, there were four toppers and three papers available to download, to create my card.  I also added some blue cardstock, hand made card candi and a stamped sentiment - the purpose of these cards is to show what you can create with the free papers using minimal extras.

I would like to enter this card into the CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

Lavender Honeycomb Box

This is the third favour box that I created for the latest edition of Die-cutting Essentials Magazine, I created five in total - you can find some of the others HERE.

I used the Honeycomb Favour Box die to create this one, I cut the base from Lavender Centura Pearl cardstock and the panels from Precious Metals Luxury Cardstock.  The tag and sentiment are also from the die collection, the ribbon is from my stash.  These boxes are relatively easy to make up, you just need to burnish the folds really well and shape the curved edges with your fingers before making them up.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave.
