BRRRR! Baby, it’s cold outside! ‘Hope everyone is staying warm & snuggly inside, because it is bitter out there!

Here's a lovely little box that was originally intended to be a candy box, but then I thought, how cute would this be as a post-it note holder for my desk? I used the Stampin’ Up Top Note Die – one of my personal favorites, for the top and bottom pieces, then attached them to a box. I wanted to put a ribbon around the outside of the box, but realized I had no ribbon to match. So, I got creative: I cut a strip of pink cardstock, and ran it through my paper crimper – presto! The perfect “ribbon” to wrap around the outside of my box. I had a bunch of scrap paper, which I recycled by cutting down to the size of a post-it note… then I went over the top & stamped a few of the top sheets (he-he! I just had to complete the look!)



Creative Ingredients:
Paper: Stampin’ Up! Regal Rose, Black Cardstock.
Ink: VersaMark, White Gel Pen, Sakura Jelly Roll Pen – Clear Star.
Stamps: Angel Company – Decorative Corners, Curls and Swirls.
Tools: Stampin Up! Top Note Die, Spellbinders Shapabilities Charms and Rod, Paper Crimper.
Embellishments: Kaiser Craft Rhinestones - Diamond, Kaiser Craft Pearls – Snow, Black Embossing Powder, Ribbon, Acrylic Pebbles, Pop Dots.


I’m working on a couple of things to complete this ensemble, so please come back to check it out! Bundle up and stay warm!

TTFN!

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...

A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!

Hah! Try saying that 10 times! LOL It was so hot outside today - 97 degrees.  Ugh!  I thought I'd jump in the pool to cool off, but even the pool was too hot!  Seriously, there is such a thing... So, I spent most of the day in the comfort of our air conditioned craft room.  Here is my hot summer day creation :   I love the theme for this card, "A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!"  which is a combination of a few different challenges Here is the inside of the card, also a pop-up, although I was not able to get a better picture...  Look at the little butterflies dangling on the twine! All of the "designer paper" for this card is hand stamped by MOI - I so rarely ever use printed designer paper because I love, love creating my own! On this card I used "Fabulous Flourishes" by Tim Holtz, "Documentary" by Prima , which were stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink and Stampin' Up! Soft Suede .  All of the flowers are a...
