Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Challenge #45: SWEET TREAT!
This challenge was to create a PROJECT (not just a card,) to include a TREAT, and of course some sort of stamping. Oh what fun?! I just love making boxes, especially when there is a SWEET TREAT involved! How could I possibly resist participating in this challenge?

I decided to create an "explosion box" with windows. Here's what I came up with...





While I was in Williamsburg the other day, I visited a lovely scrapbooking/stamping shop, which had all sorts of creative projects displayed, using techniques that I was eager to learn. One of which was making paper flowers. One of the ladies there, Miss Sarah was patient, and so kind to have given me a quick tutorial. Thanks, Miss Sarah! I just could not wait to give it a whirl for myself.





P.S. I am away from home & was not able to take very good pictures of this project, as I forgot my light box! These pictures do no justice to this gorgeous treat box :( Updated photos to follow...

Spring Flutterings

I had to squeeze some "quiet time" in today, because I did not have anytime last week to do anything.  My 8 month old "Baby Diva" has kept me busy, as she is staying with me while her Mommy is out of town till Wednesday.  Fortunately, she is such a good baby.  She must have known I was feining for some crafting time, because she was so cooperative! I was kind of all over the place with this card.  It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly.   I wanted to try making a new flower.  The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches.  Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram."  The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die.  I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects.  I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for the body & coiled some

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o
