Spice Cake Top Note box

Here is the box we made to match the 'spiced charming' card. Again it uses the gorgeous spice cake designer papers. These boxes are really easy to make once you know how and they make a little gift look really special.

 

The flower is made using the blossom party die from the spring mini and the boho blossoms punch. Remember the mini is ending on the 30th April so if you love the papers or die you need to place your order now. 

Simply adorned

No fabric today, this time it's jewellery! I thought I'd show you stampin' ups new range called simply adorned. This is a charm, but I would call it a locket as it opens up and you can change your design to suit your outfit.  Mine is the large rectangle and it comes in a gift box which you could also decorate.

The first picture is the back and the second picture shows the front.  There are chains but I plaited some crumb cake seam binding ribbon. I used the charming stamp set again, these lockets are lovely but I'm afraid my photos don't do it justice.

Charming make and take

I had a mini/sale-a-bration event last Tuesday.  We had a lovely time, here is the make and take everyone made using the charming stamp set out of the spring mini catalogue.  Fortunately my Stampin' Up Mum Claire was there to save the day as I forgot to bring my stamp set!

The colour scheme is wisteria wonde, pool party, crumbcake and very vanilla.  We stamped the background with crumb cake ink using the stamp on stamp off technique, ink the stamp up and stamp on scrap before you stamp on to your card this gives you different shades out of one ink pad. We stamped the flower using wisteria wonder. The border was made using the scallop trim border punch.
I showed another card where I used the brush end of the marker pens to ink up the flower stamp and used some pearls and wisteria ruffled ribbon to bling it up.
