Incredible like you!




My card today was made using the wonderful project kit called
Incredible Like You!

I wasn't sure if I would like working with a kit,
never having tried one before but it is a gorgeous one.
The finished cards are so beautiful and
with the stamp set and a variety of ink pads
 you can add extra flare to the insides.
This one would suit Mother's Day perfectly
and it has two of my favourite colours!!

You can make 16 cards in total. You get the embellishments,
cards, envelopes, dimensionals, die cut pieces and fancy keepsake box.
All you need to add is the stamp set (incredible like you)
and some wet glue.
Details in my product list.

Buy this kit today along with the stamp set and ink
and you can choose a free item along with them
from the Level 1 choices!

Tea Light box in Forever Lovely

Only 2 days left for Sale-A-Bration!!
Links below




This is the candle box I made to match yesterday's card.
I used the same dsp teamed up with crumb cake card.
The little poem inside is off google and is perfect for
giving to someone who has just lost a family member.


How I made the Candle Box
1. Cut piece of crumb cake card 9 1/4" x 4 " and score at 4", turn and score at 4"
Fold to form a book shape.
2. Cut DSP 3 6/8" square (3 pieces) 1 1/8" x 3 6/8" (2 pieces)
3.  Cut a 6 1/4"  square of crumb cake.
Score at 1/2", 1 1/2". Turn and repeat on all sides.
Score and cut waste away. Using circle die 2 7/8" in centre of score lines.
This fits the older Ikea round candle holder. Adjust to suit your own candle.
3. Add double sided tape as in pic below and add your ribbon.
Seal up final edge using wet glue.
4. Finish forming the box shape.
5. Cut a piece of crumb cake 8cm square to seal bottom of your box.
6. Cut two pieces of ribbon 10" long. Add double sided tape to front
of your book shape and stick the ribbon. Glue your dsp to cover the front and ribbon.
Add double sided tape to inside left for other ribbon, and cover with dsp.
7. Adhere your spines and insides with dsp.
8. Glue your candle box in place on right hand side of book.
9. Decorate the front by punching two pretty labels in cake crumb.
10. Type out your sentiment (or stamp it) in matching hex colours
and punch using the pretty label punch.
11. Add sentiment to one label using dimensionals and glue second one so it shows at bottom.
12. Stamp 3 flowers in lovely lipstick, and 6 leaves in soft sea foam and cut out.
Add to front of your box.

Thinking of You - Forever Lovely


Another card request, this time a sympathy type card.
I went with the Forever Lovely stamp set and dsp and a butterfly
from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.
The white background is actually embossed but not showing up to well.
There is a little bit showing in bottom right corner.
Come back tomorrow to see my matching candle box.


How I made this card
1. I used an a5 card base in white.
2. Cut piece of crumb cake 5 6/8" x 8", mat with dsp 5 3/8" x 7 7/8"
3. Cut piece of crumb cake 2 1/2" x 7", wrap piece of ribbon and secure at back.
Stick this to your main card.
4. Cut piece of crumb cake 3 7/8" x 6"
Emboss a piece of whisper white measuring 3 5/8" x 5 7/8"
Stick together and add to your card.
5. Stamp  6 flowers in lovely lipstick, 12 leaves in soft sea foam,
and one butterfly in crumb cake.
6. Cut all items out and add to your card as above.
Colour butterfly in matching blends and add to card.
7. Punch two pretty label shapes in crumb cake.
8. Type your sentiment in matching hex colours and measure
to fit the lovely label. 2 2/8" wide x 6/8" works well.
print and punch out.
9. Layer up your sentiment with dimensionals, add one label to top
and glue other to bottom, showing a bit at either end.
Stick to your card.
10. Finish with a matching bow.
