Pretty Gift Box

My tutorial today is this pretty box.

I made it to hold a fidget scrunchie which I have taken

to crocheting in the evenings.

If you remember back, when I did the worry worms,

well my daughter took all I had and gave them to kids

when she was at the Q Con in Belfast last weekend.

I think I must have done at least 30.

Apparently they were a big hit 😁

So you can watch my video tutorial here

Hot colours!

It's my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and as the weather has been so hot recently I

decided to go with HOT COLOURS!

For this week's tag I inked up the background using

Melon Mambo, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo

with my blending brushes.

I gave it a light spray with water to lift some colour.

Then I stamped the flowers using memento black ink.

I matted it onto some black card and finished with a bit of ribbon.

Unfortunately I am down with a really bad flu/covid

from last Thursday. It has really taken it's toll

and I can do nothing only sit around and rest.

I hope you get time to join my theme is fortnight.

 

More scrappy bits!

More scrappy play for my VIP ladies.

My scraps today are from the in-colours paper pad.

The candle tops and wicks are stamped using the wing of a bird

and a slim line for the wick. very quick and easy.

from Sweet Songbirds stamp set.

I still had a few extra strips left over so made

a matching tag.

The Happy Birthday and Best Wishes are both from Artistically Inked

stamp set.

Weekend in Paris

This is my midway post for

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where the theme is anything stamped (option around the world).

Remember we have a lovely prize up for grabs!!

For my card I used papers called

Kathy's World Traveller pack.

The stamps I used are called Girlfriends from Art Impressions.

It comes with four ladies so I just cut off two for my card.

They have been coloured using blends.

I stamped Paris using Alphabest stamp set.

I hope you get time to join us!!

Luckily, even though it was very overcast in the morning,

they didn't get rained on!

 

Pretty scrappy card!

I have another scrappy video for my VIP Group.

This time it is the floating scraps method.

The bundle I have used is called timeless arrangements,

the shape is from Countryside Corners dies,

and the papers are all scraps from my Brights dsp pack.

I loved making this one, very easy and quick

and those papers are so gorgeous for summer.

a nice cool breeze at night and I'll be super happy.
