Ice Cream Corner Gift Box

No tutorial today but I did make this box for an up coming birthday.

I have used petal pink card for the main box,

decorating it with papers from the Ice Cream Corner pack.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set

and has been stamped in Terracotta Tile.

The lolly pops where cut from the same

designer paper.

I punched a small star from the paper too.

Would be perfect to fill with those little ice cream cone

jelly sweets 😋

Inky Butterfly Brilliance

My video tutorial over in my

VIP Group shows how to make this card.

I have inked off a section

and used the lovely

Butterfly Brilliance bundle again.

It has been finished with a nice sentiment from

Sweet Ice Cream and Oval Occasions

stamp sets.

I then added some metallic pearls.

Meant to Be Forty Shades of Green!

Happy Monday!

I have been making St. Patrick's Day cards

for my family who all live

in England and Wales.

So I like to remind them where they came from 😁

This one is for my oldest Brother.

It's called a Corner Fold card and a first for me!

I have used

Meant to Be

to create the shamrocks as I do not have a shamrock stamp!

The papers are from the

Ice Cream Corner pack.

The sentiment is computer generated

and has been punched out using

Oval Occasions Bundle punch.

The ink I used is called

Granny Apple Green

and I finished it with a little bit of gold thread.

So the noise is back in our area yet again.

From lockdown we have had Virgin Media

digging up the pathways then

we had the water board digging up the roads.

They then had to come back because they made a

mistake and now we have the gas people

digging up the roads again!

Seriously, I understand they have a job to do

but why does it have to start at 6am

and even go through the weekends as well!

The roads are in a total mess,

like a patchwork quilt and the noise!!😡😱

 

 

St. Patrick's Day Chocolate Coins Gift Bag

My tutorial today shows how I made

these cute little packages to hold

some chocolate coins for my Grandsons

unless they allow us to meet outside!!

So I wanted to start making some little sweet gifts

for them which can be easily delivered to the doorstep.

You can watch my video here

Nothing much happening here other than crafting

at the minute. Got a new lampshade for my hall,

still have another few bits to finish but not sure

what to get and don't want to be dithering around

the shops!!

Stay safe out there, this is not over!

 

 

You melt my heart

This is another Valentine's Day card

for my two Grandsons next door.

It's only a little card - 4" x 3 1/2"

Had to be careful with my colours

as the eldest boy would not be entertaining

red and too many hearts 😂

I thought the sentiment from the

Sweet Ice Cream

stamp set was just perfect for Valentine's Day.

I stamped the lolly out using

bumblebee and blackberry bliss inks.

The strip of paper is from the

Ice Cream Corner paper pack.

I took the heart stamp from

Meant to Be.

along with the sentiment too

all stamped in blackberry bliss.

Snow hasn't hit us yet but is supposed to

be here by tomorrow.

It is icy cold out there and the winds

are building up!

Think we will stay put and maybe

go out to the garage for some exercise

in hubby's homemade gym 😁

Have a great day!

Black and white birthday card, maybe not!

I fully intended to leave this card black and white

but I just did not like it at all.

So I went in search of some inspiration and found

this lovely colour combo challenge at

Fab Friday

So here it is all coloured up!

Photo not great as I have just finished it

and it's nearly 5pm.

Which do you prefer?

I have used the lovely Ornate Style stamp set

and coloured with just jade, bumblebee and blushing bride inks

using my wink of stella to colour with.

The sentiment is from Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.

Casing the Catalogue

My card today was taken from an idea in the new catalogue.

It's a great resource when your mojo is struggling!!

I love shopping during Sale-a-bration so I can stock

up on lots of free papers and stamp sets

for the year ahead.

This paper set was one of the freebies called

Paper Blooms.

I simply used a scrap for the background then

cut out a bunch of the blooms and leaves

and made a corner bouquet.

I finished it off with the Happy Birthday,

which I shadow stamped in night of navy and rococo rose inks,

but it hasn't shown up in the photo unfortunately.

The stamp set is from the Sweet Ice Cream bundle.

I finished the card off with some in-colour faceted pearls.
