A Little Yummy for My Friend

Welome back, Friends!  You're just in time for the
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #80 - "B.F.F! - Best Friends Forever"

This week's challenge is to create a card or project that includes "B"uttons, "F"lowers and the word "F"riend/"F"riendship!

Our sponsor for this challenge is: My Favorite Things

PRIZE: $25.00 Gift Certificate

I used an MFT stamp from the collection, "Two for Tea" for my project....

Here's the other side of the box, which has a small pocket for a teabag.

Oooh!  What's that peeking through that little side window??

Mmmmm....A yummy delicious cupcake to go with the tea!

I hand stamped the inside of the cupcake box - as if that cupcake needed any help looking good (haha!)
Have I ever mentioned how sometimes I really struggle with a challenge - having no idea whatsoever where to start or what to do?  And then, those are the times when I end up creating something surprisingly, better than what I expected.  Strange, huh?  Well this is one of those times...

I needed to use an MFT image, but I could not come up with any ideas - BLANK!  Then thank goodness Linda (my sis-in-law) had a sweet tooth craving & twisted my arm to go with her to get some gourmet cupcakes (yeah, sweets! didn't take much to convince me on that! LOL!)   "Ahhh....."  I thought... all I need was a little sweet inspiration & VIOLA! 

My lovely cupcake gift box not only has windows to give a peek at the yummy goodness within the box, but there is also a side pocket to hold a teabag.  What a perfect presentation for a gift of afternoon tea, huh?

    Hi! sister DT, hope you are well! Your little cupcake box is just so lovely. You used one image I just adore. True what you say, sometimes you are just out of inspiration and suddenly come up with something suprising. This little project of yours is charming,
    Hugs.`

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...
