Do you ever get those days .....

When you know you've got stacks to do' but you're just really un-inspired.  

I do ....... You'd think that being surrounded by lots of amazing craft goodies, that I would be completely in the zone,

But to be honest, I've been having a flat week, and I defy any crafter out there to say ..... This doesn't happen to me, because for many of us it's reality.

So,  to remedy this, I gathered some supplies, including the lovely flowering flourishes stamp set, some pistachio pudding card stock and my glue.  

So what did I do first ...... Well I went to Pinterest .....  The most brilliant place to go for inspiration.  

Next I watched fellow crafter Elaine create a project, then I set to work To Case it.  For those who are new to crafting CASE means copy and share everything.  

So what did I create, well a gorgeous easel box card, with matching gift box.

Here's the closed gift box

  And showing the card/box inside

The ever so cute card box

I used matching designer series paper from the co-ordinations paper stack, an antique brad and the itty bitty punches. The sentiment and flowers are from the something to say stamp set.  

I love this and am feeling more inspired now.

Hope I've inspired you.

Don't forget, if I have inspired you, you can get all the products I used by simply clicking the shop with me button.  

Would love to hear how you get crafty when feeling uninspired.

Have a great day 

Hugs

Thank you ............

Don't know about you guys, but I was always made to write my thank you letters at birthdays and Christmas.    As a child it always seemed a chore ....... there were so many other things I wanted to do.

And now, well, now I combine writing my thank you's with creating something wonderful.  So anyone, I have to thank always gets an individual card, cause I've made it.

Here's one I did recently for a friend, who had helped me.

This person loves Vintage and our Very Vintage Wheel was just perfect for this.  I combined it with the stunning Flowering Flourishes and an In-Colour Boutique Details Accessory to finish off.

The cardstock is Baked Brown sugar and is inked in the same colour.  I have torn very vanilla and distressed the edges.   The sentiment is from the Oh Hello stamp set. 

Of course the inside had to be finished to the same standard as the outside.  So here it is.

Hope you're all having a great week and finding some time to craft.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
