Surprise Boxes - Prima and Kaszazz....

Hello,

Surprise! I have a couple more surprise boxes to share with you, using the gorgeous papers from Prima and Kaszazz.

The box on the left and the box in the middle are both created with Prima Time Traveler's Memories paper and the box on the right is created with Kaszazz's Ebony and Ivory papers. 

I have used a light pink cardstock and Stampin' Up's River rock cardstock to create the base and the layers for this box.

Photos can be adhered to the inside and the outside of these boxes if you wish.

The gorgeous little flowers are also from Prima's Time Travelers Memories range - Nice Time, and the ribbon is Stampin' Up's River Rock.  This box was finished off with pink rhinestones and tiny pink heart brads.

As mentioned, I have used Prima's Time Traveler's Memories paper on this box also.  I have used a blue cardstock for the base and an orange cardstock for the layers.

Plenty of spaces to add photos...

I have used a Heartfelt Creations Die to create the chain link: All Geared Up.

A tag stamp from Whimsy Stamps: The Good Life Tickets and the

Fob watch is a Stampin' Up Stamp - Clockworks used with circle punches and a small orange brad for the centre.

I have shared the third surprise box with you previously, if you wish to see more please see this post:

Stampin' Up World Map, Crafty Ann Die - Old Car - Masculine Cards

Hello,

I have 2 masculine Cards to share with you today....

First is an easel card, created using a Crafty Ann Die - Old Car.  A neutral coloured base, layered with black first and then a layer of grey.  The old car was die-cut using the same grey card as the layer and then simply stamped with "thinking of you". 

Next, an image from a Whimsy Stamp Set - Steampunk Travels, mounted on brown card which features a torn edge and a knotted ribbon.  This is layered onto a strip stamped with a stamp fromTim Holtz Bitty Grunge stamp set, then layered onto Stampin' Up's World Map stamp. 

Hope you are having a great one!

Tim Holtz - The Chemist, Whimsy Stamps - Steampunk Travels Cards...

Good Morning Beautiful Crafty People,

I have a couple of cards to show you today - Steampunk themed...

My inspiration came from magazines mostly - create a background using stamps and then sponging distress ink colours to takeaway the whiteness of the background card.

Steampunk Spells and The Sky's the Limit.

I used the same ink colours for both of these cards - and then sorry... oops... listed the stamps I used but forgot to list the ink colours... they were all Distress Inks... With this sort of technique you could use any colours really. I have seen some cards etc creating using this technique using reds and blues and greens - gorgeous!

Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous - The Chemist.... Do I need to say anymore?!?!  Love this Stamp! For this card I have also used Stampin' Up's Sense of Time, Stampendous Clockworks and Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Stamp 1.

Now, I have been calling this is a "Blimp" hehe - if it is not a blimp please let me know!!! The "blimp" is from a Whimsy Stamps set - Steampunk Travels. The other stamps I used were Stampin Up's Sense of Time and a Prima Engraver Stamp. The arrow is also a Stampin Up Die.

See you soon
