Birthday Card & Gift Box

This is the card and gift box I made for my sister's birthday which was on Saturday. I used the Fabulous Florets stamp set with the leafy image for the card and one of the flowers for the gift box. The colour combo was Smoky Slate and black (Staz-on), embellished with Basic Black Chevron ribbon. The sentiment is from the Hostess set, Simply Sketched, and the vellum butterflies were punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch with Basic Rhinestones for their bodies. The gift box is one I made with the Pop'n'Cuts die, finished off with Chevron ribbon and a tag from Chalk Talk cut with the co-ordinating Framelit.

If you would like to order any products or, maybe, even become a Stampin'Up! demonstrator yourself, then please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be very happy to help.

Money Gift Holder

This is the money wallet I made to match yesterday's card. Made with the Pop'n'Cuts die, Pink Pirouette DSP (retired), cardstock and Taffeta ribbon, Itty Bitty Punch flowers.

The letters were cut from Silver Glimmer paper using the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies (also retired).
Tomorrow I will be showing you the door plaque I made - pink & sparkly again of course!
Hope you are enjoying what is probably the last little bit of summer - I think we'd better make the most of it !!

Thomas the Tank Engine

I have a bit of a novelty card to show you today and which, sadly, I can't take a lot of credit for! My youngest Grandson, who will be 2 in a few weeks, absolutely loves Thomas the Tank Engine so I did a quick Google search and got inspiration from two SU demos. I case'd Thomas from Victoria at Blue Jelly Stampin (here) and the idea of the tunnel from an Australian demo Kylie Bertucci (here).

I think I'm fairly safe to show this now as I don't think he'll be looking at my blog anytime soon :0)

Below right is what the card looks like when it's open and on the left is a money wallet made with the Pop'n'Cuts die.
