A Box with a View

We made this little treat box at my last stamp camp with Pale Plum and So Saffron c/s, we wheeled the Friendly Words wheel on the box, stamped the bird and saying from the Friends 24-7 set, punched the window and tied it closed. This is basically a take off of the 2, 4, 6, 8, box done in landscape instead of portrait.

Gesso resist

Here is my version of the Gesso Resist technique over on the SCS Resources page.
I used Upsy Daisy, a magazine page, Ruby red, Mellow Moss, and Cameo Coral. The Moss is texturized with the new Big Shot embossing plates, the Ruby is stamped with the friends by definition stamp, the daisies are sponged around with Summer Sun, Ruby Red, and Brocade Blue. I finished it off with some ribbon and a rhinestone brad.

The Hinge Card

Another craze right now is the Hinge card, you start with a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 white base, cover the bottom half with c/s of your choice, then use a coordinating color on the top half, but you don't adhere that one, you use a brad through all three layers so that the top half swings up and you write your message or sentiment under that. So I have a white bottom (I know TMI) the orchid is attached at the bottom, the sage hinges up and you read the white portion under the sage.

Jumping on the latest craze

One of the latest projects over at SCS is the flower pot pocket card - isn't this just to cute?

My pot is really rust and all my flowers are from the Birds and Blooms sizzlet die.

Sweet Little Purse

We did this little purse at a recent stamp camp - there are four (yes FOUR) top note dies in this little guy, the stamps are from Flight of the Butterfly, we added some ribbon and a rhinestone brad and called it good. The inside has a cute little bag that is the perfect size for sharing some chocolate ;~)

Enjoy the Journey

Have I shared this one? I got this image from some of my WishRak friends, I added some Bashful blue, Bordering Blue, and Buckaroo Blue along with a punched sentiment some cord and a button - I love this train!

Coming Back To My Beloved

As you know I'm a self proclaimed luver of all crafty things, but no matter how much I love to try new stuff I always come back to SU!!!

I can't take credit for the use of the birthday candle on the cupcake I was inspired by one similar to this ;~)

The background was done with my new SU! texture plates, the scallop is the new die, the ovals are the punches, the cupcake is from Crazy for Cupcakes, that's Pretty in pink Taffeta ribbon, the cupcake was watercolored, and I used Stickles on the frosting - The inside says "Happy cake and candle day!"
