Fanfare My Creations Card Box & Cards

Here is another box which I made using the My Creations Card Box and the Fanfare Level 2 paper pack.

I colored the box using Pacifica ink but it felt too dark so I brushed the Pearl paint over the top to soften the color and give a shimmer to the box. It added more interest. 

I added the Cranberry pleated ribbon and then a selection of the blue buttons which I threaded with the

white Embroidery Floss.

 I colored the cork Alphabet Letters with Honey and Pacifica and Cranberry ink and then heat embossed them with the clear embossing powder to really set the color. I used one of the Milepost shapes covered

with the B&T underneath the flower.

The matching cards are from the Originals and Wishes card confidence programs.

Lots of ribbon and ling assortment buttons added more interest.

Hope you like them :O)

My Creations Card Box Album

This is the new My Creations Card Box which I was lucky enough to receive as part of 

my class products for Extravaganza this year.

I decided to make an multi fold album to fit inside it and used the lovely Dreamin' Level 2

paper pack  & stickease, and the Honey Mini Medley accents to decorate it.

I also used C1365 - Unscripted stamp set.

 I inked all of the edges of the box and then added Goldrush cardstock which I had random stamped to the inside of the box.

 I scored 6 x 12 cardstock at 4" and added tabs so that I could form a

concertina fold album which would fold in and out of the box. I also

added an additional tab to the bottom which allowed me to actually

attach it to the inside of the box permanently. Then I added a ribbon 'pull tab' to the top

to make it easier to pull it out.

I added lots of embellishments and stamped images and the new copper Glitz Gel Glue.

 On some of the sections I added fold out sections which allowed me to add

more photos to the album.

The photos are from Christmas last year when my 2 sisters and their families came 

and stayed with us. Great photos and great memories :O)

Hope you like it :O)

Travel theme My Creations Memory Game Money Box

Here is a cute money box made from the My Creations Memory Game which I 

created for my Extravaganza class this year.

 I took out the chipboard pieces

and used just the empty box. I used a craft knife to cut a hole in the lid.

Then I went to town decorating it with my favorite style of stamps.

I inked all of the edges of the box with desert sand ink and the paper and cardstock

is cut just a little smaller than each panel. By distressing all of the edges of the cardstock

with the same color ink it blends the paper into the box and it means

that the paper isn't going to lift up along the edges when it is handled.

I gathered the cranberry ribbon along one side and liquid glassed it in place.

Hope you like it :O)

Mischief Workshop On The Go Mini Album.

So here is a fun mini album made from the super cute Mischief WOTG and the new

6x6 Kraft Cards & Envelopes.  

The original idea for an album of this sort was given to us at Convention earlier this year.  

For this album I used 2 complete cards plus the scalloped edge cut from a 3rd card.

I used the stamps and embellishments from the kit only.

September Class Projects - Mischief Level 2 Paper pack

Here is the card we are making this month - just to prove that just because it is the Halloween themed "Mischief" paper - you don't have to use it for Halloween !

Here is a very 'girly' colored card using the September SOTM along with Hollyhock ink and Baby Pink cardstock. Ribbon and pretty 'Bling" in the form of Sparkles make this such a pretty card - and not a Witch in sight!

I also added interest to the Baby Pink cardstock by piercing rows of holes using our new fabulous ruler.

Hope you like it :O)
