Perfect Day My Crations Cube

 
 
This is a fun workshop which I taught some months ago,  using the My Creations Cube and the Perfect Day level 2 paper pack and stickease. I had seen a similar project taught by Sherri Tozzi, I loved what she had done so I took her idea and put my own spin on it.
We created a flap out of cardsotck to make a box instead of sealing it up as a cube and added photo hangers to attach the ribbon. Tags in the pocket on the side give more space to photo's or journaling.
I was thrilled how it turned out - hope you like it too :O)

Lisa's card and gift bag

A day or so ago I posted the mini allsorts album I had made for my dear friend Lisa - so here are the card and matching gift bag. I love the stair step cards - you can add so much embellishment to it - here I added dimensional element numbers, ribbons, a button with a paper flower and brad and the matching stickease to the Notebook paper.
 
This cute bag started life as a plain white one! I added the large pieces of cardstock and notebook level 2 paper and stamped the coffee stain stamp. Then I added the center panel with her name with mini sparkles and a circle clip. The Big pink paper flower has a circle of paper in the center over which I have added a circle window charm. Ribbon is added to the handle and the tissue papar again is stamped with the coffee cup stain stamp. Hope you like it :O)

SO here are the last pages of Lisa's birthday album - you can see that I created fold out pages and flaps and tags to add extra photos - and yes - more BLING! I loved the way it turned out - and so did she :O)

November Stamp of the month additional artwork - thanks to everyone who inspired me to make these.


Here are 5 more cards which feature the house set - Around the Block - the November Stamp of the Month.
The top card was inspired by Karen Pederson and is meant to be a gingerbread house - I have embossed in white embossing powder and added white daisy ink for the brickwork.
The next card is inspired by Kimberly Simmons - I loved her idea of turning the house into the outline of a baby bottle and using the roof and the feeding part. i used blush ink and cardstock and again used the dry embossing technique with ink distressing. the swirl and the tiny heart were stamped in cocoa ink on the cocoa cardstock
The tiny little tag was an idea that Michele Gamble shared and shows how to stamp the flower baskets - mask them and then stamp the windows.
The Welcome to the Neigborhood card I think was an idea by Helen Olunek (my sincere apologies if this is wrong - please correct me and I will adjust)
And the last card was based on an idea by AnnMarie McLain - who used a white background for the card she made - I took her idea and ran! - Yes it is the roof that becomes the beach unbrella. I then took a small piece of cardstock and trimmed it to make the fringe -
Hope you like them and thanks once again to the talented ladies who inspired me to make these :O)
