Judikins Dragonfly Card and Necklace Gift Box...

Hello,

Today's project - Necklace Gift Box and matching card feature a beautiful silver embossed dragonfly image stamped using Judikins Dragonfly stamp.  Also featured on this card is Circle Trio from Kaszazz.

The backgrounds for both the Card and the cover of the Gift Box were created using Ranger's Distress Inks. These backgrounds were then multi layered with silver, white and blue cardstock to the box and the card base.

"Happy Birthday" is stamped from Kaszazz Mini Messages Happy Birthday set and the "50" is from Age Birthday set also by Kaszazz.

The cardstock insert of the Gift Box is angled so the Necklace hangs nicely for presentation. White ribbon with a silver stiched edging and rhinestones complete this set.

When Gift giving, it's all in the presentation...

See you soon,

Stampin' Up - Great Sport - Cards...

Good Morning,

Sport themed today - these cards feature a Stampin' Up Stamp Set - Great Sport. I have repeatedly stamped two of the balls from the stamp set to create the front of the cards.

I have used white card bases, followed by a black layer and then stamped the balls on the white card top layer. Glossy accents was added to some of the balls as a feature. The 'happy birthday' wording and label are created using Stampin' Up's Set - Teeny Tiny Banners and two Stampin' Up punches.

Are you having a sporty day today?

Shadow Boxes

Hello

To make these shadow boxes I reversed a canvas, lined the indent with card, then covered in paper.

For this first box I used Stampendous Hummingbird stamp and die sets, then coloured the images with watercolour pencils. The images were positioned then fixed with glue dots and foam tape. Highlights were added with stickles and star dust pens, then rhinestones added. When dry the frame aperture was covered in acetate, and the frame itself covered in paper. The back of the piece was also papered. Rhinestones and metal dragonflies were added to the frame front, hanging hooks and cord added to the back. The outer sides of the frame were covered in glittered washi tape.

The inside of this box is a laser cut, 4 layer wood design. The pieces are coloured with stardust pens and highlighted with stickles glitter glue and glossy accents.  They are glued to the background. Paper flowers, velvet leaves, a netting butterfly and rhinestones were added. Stamped, coloured and die cut images from Stampendous Build a Bouquet sets, have been added to the outer frame.

These pieces can be displayed on a easel, or hung on the wall.

I hope you enjoy these designs.

Till next time

Cat Cards featuring Impression Obsession etc Dies...

Hello,

Cats, cats and more cats. Todays cards feature... yes you guessed it ... Cats!!!

I am slowly working through the pile of cards I created using paper pieces from a selection of Kaisercraft Paper Pads. I had many, many small pieces so created some 'backgrounds' for cards by using up the pieces and I am slowly creating cards with these.

The first five cards feature black cats which have been die-cut using Impression Obsession DIE-083K Cats die set...

This pair of cats were die-cut using Marianne Design Collectables COL1344 French Cat Die and stamp set.

I have coated all of the cats with glossy accents for added shine and have also adhered rhinestones to some of the cards.

Thank you for visiting,

See you soon
