A little decoration??????

Hi guys

Are you one of those people who always want to add that wonderful finishing touch to any gifts.  You have wrapped them perfectly, but you feel that a flat gift tag is just not good enough .........

Well here's the answer, whether it's Xmas, birthdays, christenings etc etc this tag will fit the bill perfectly.

I first found it on Pinterest here and fell in love with it.

I was also asked to do a 5 minute WOW at regional training and decided that this was perfect.

Here's the gorgeous item:

Closed Tag

Open tag


To make this gorgeous tag I used Whispher White cardstock, Crisp Canteloupe card stock, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad, Blushing Bride ribbon and the Happy Day stamp set.

I have used this tag lots and it has always had the wow factor.

If you're local to me and would like to hold a workshop in your home, why not email or call me to book and we could incorporate this into your workshop.

I can supply all items for you to make this delightful project, just give me a call or drop me an email.

Hugs

Elegant Butterfly Shadow Frame Card

Hi guys,

Wow what a week its been.  Lots of stuff going on with the kids.  Congrats first to my eldest who passed all her GCSE's and has got a brilliant place at college.  Love ya kid. xx


Anyway todays card is one I have CASE'd from Pinterest.  I saw it and fell in love with it.  But wanted to add my own twist to it slightly.  The original card is by Frenchie.  You can see her Fun  Frame Card by clicking this link .........  Fun Frame Card

So this is what I came up with


I  have used the gorgeous Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder  (130917) on whisper white card stock.  The frame was made using the stunning Venetian Romance (130144) Designer Papers.  The sentiment was stamped using Costal Cabanna inks., as was the Papillion Potpouri Butterflies.  To finish off I used some ruffled ribbon and pearls.

I just love the crisp colours of this card and the added dimension of the folded frame.

Thanks for inspiring me Frenchie.

Hugs

Have a crafty day.

Lisa

We all love a little FREE stuff ..............

and here at Stampin Up we know that, so this month we are giving you a free pack of Designer Papers when you buy three others.


I just love the papers, they are so versatile and to give you some inspiration I have up-cycled an old gift box.






I used the gorgeous Epic Day This and That paper pack.  The colours are gorgeous and the patterns blended with the shape of the box brilliantly. 


I then used a Vintage button to create the centre of the flower on the top before


Using these two scallop punches to make the petals for the scrumptious flower on top of the box.

 



Finally I used the Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffle Stretch Trim to finish the box off.


I love it and am now using it as my Pencil/Tool box.  It houses my eraser, snips, and all my other bits and bobs brilliantly.

I hope you love it as much as I do, and that it inspires you to have a go.  Dont forget to email me or give me a call on 07823 883769 to get you supplies to recreate this box.


Hugs

Lisa
