End of the month again!!

Holy Moly --whooosh July has gone and I've not posted anything this month...  but I have been dabbling..

Got a couple of cards for Rudolph Days Christmas card July challenge . --- these are made with a set which includes a stamp and embossing folder... stamped first then embossed...quick & easy

And this decorated box is for the 

Beautiful Blossoms challenge #7 - Anything Goes with Flowers.

Used a lovely floral patterned paper to cover one the lid of one of the boxes I've been collecting... then die cut the flower and leaves from matching card, arranged them and added some white Crystal Drops.

Close up of the flower spray. 

Next these couple are using the technique - 

Off the Edge that the ladies at Group of Seven Card Makers 

have been playing with during the month.

Stamped and heat embossed foliage off the corners of my card panels then blended Distress Ink over the white card.  Finished the yellow one with a simple stamped and silver embossed sentiment and the purple one with white embossed candles, fussy cut and highlighted with distress ink and white Crystal Drops.. and some glitter gel dots for 'twinkle'.

This purple Christmas card is also for the 

Happy Little Stampers July Christmas challenge - Twinkle

And my last card... just because

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog... have a Wonderful Day

A floral embossed round box

Back again today with my last floral embossed box

for the Let's Squash It!  challenge #6

I have thoroughly enjoyed my guest designer spot, big thanks to Jo and Gail

Can you guess what I might have used to make this cute little round box???

I've been recycling again... this is the packaging from our seasonal ticket for our NRL team the Cowboys who are based in our city.   

Had to piece the card together to get enough to form a round box - which will be ok for the inside.  Then I had to find something to cover the outside.....mmm

 

And why not a tissue box...

I had to really hunt through my embossing folders to find a leafy floral to decorate the lid of my box and luckily it was an A2 -  the Couture Creations - Ambrosia EF,  so I didn't have to run it through the Cuttlebug twice and maybe get that awful line.  I finished it off with a light swipe with Ocean Blue Distress Ink

Thanks for stopping by my blog  -  hope you may have been inspired to use your embossing folders and join in the Let's Squash It! challenge..   have a Wonderful Creative day,  cheers

                                                                           

Let's Squash It !! challenge #6 --- Embossed Gift Box

I am honoured this month to be the Guest Designer for

 Let's Squash It!! .....  

And for the March challenge Gail and Jo would like to see 

a Floral Embossing Folder and a box...  

which you could make yourself or otherwise you could upcycle a box, the options are endless

I just love to construct boxes - so I sorted through my embossing folders and found this lovely floral square one which is about 13x13cm or 5x5inches.  Next thing I know I've chosen some pink card with a white core and through the Cuttlebug it went.... and then with the fine sand paper I lightly exposed the white core of the EF design.  Next I measured up some thick card and cut the box shapes - twice --- I covered the bottom of the box with a pink floral paper and the top with a paler pink

These are the pieces cut ready to assemble

I used the thick card as a spacer to help with the box construction

When I had the top of the box made - it looked way too pink so I added a white border and then after more rummaging in the embossing folders, found a long narrow one that I could use for the sides.

I decided the box didn't need any more adornment.... just a plain box

AND THEN...   I couldn't stop ... and made another..  A hexagonal gift box with matching tag -- with embossed panels on the sides that I lightly coloured with Distress Oxide ink - Salty Ocean.

I do hope you have been inspired to decorate a box with your floral EF and that you'll share with the group at Let's Squash It!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate it...  have a Wonderful Creative day, Cheers

Gift Box

A small gift box from my desk today - I love making these, great help with the Scor-pal.  Using double sided designer card means you get pretty insides too.

I cut and folded the base and used a contrast colour card for the lid, then decorated that with some paper flowers and die cut leaves and a small die cut tag.  I am playing along with Just Add Ink challenge #439.  I appreciate your visit and happy crafting.

Christmas gift box and tag

I was on a roll this morning with my Scor-pal and made a few projects for gifts.  For the Power Poppy Creative Confetti challenge - Season of Giving, I have made this gift box and tag.  Made a basic square box with a white base and Christmasy top and added some ribbon curls.  Then I die cut an oval tag, used the smaller size to draw around with a silver gel pen and stamped and embossed my sentiment with silver EP.  Lastly stamped my with dark blue ink on light blue card and clear embossed it, then fussy cut added some silver gel pen dots and a silver tie.
I am also playing along with Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Wrap it up. 
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

 

Simon Says: Wrap It Up

Gift Box

Ok my project for Simon Says Monday challenge isn't actually 'inside' the box, I made this little gift box with double sided patterned card and a plain brown lid. I decorated it with a few button and then shredded some cellophane packaging to carry my small gift for our step-granddaughters 13th birthday.  She was thrilled and will wanting to me to show her how to make the box.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

Simon Says: Inside The Box

Gift Box

 I've made this gift box for a special person and will post it to the Scor-pal #11 challenge.

I used cream card to make the top...

 And this gorgeous double sided designer card to make the box...

 and lined the lid with the offcut. 

 Then used a die cut medallion as a base to a punched and embossed flower, finished with a pearl and some leaves.

"More Than One Score" Challenge #7 - Food For Thought

 

Hi and hope you're enjoying your week. I've been finishing of my Gift Box for the Scor-pal #7 challenge and have made this box from an A4 sheet of card and thought to dress it up as a popcorn or lolly bag for a childs birthday party to run with the theme of 'Food for thought'.  I made one of those old fashion windmills we used to make as kids and attached it with a brad and then tied a tag with coloured twine.
