You hopefully started the hop at the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog (Claire's Blog)! If you came here from Anya's Blog you are in the right spot! After my visit you should make your way to Julia's blog for more fun!
I have used the new Roses in Bloom and Vintage Labels No.3 stamp sets today for my release projects!
I made a little box to fill with chocolates to give to someone special - not sure who that will be - I have a lot of special people in my life!! Aren't I blessed?!
Can I just tell you that this box started with WAY more chocolate pieces in it, but I felt the need to tie the beautiful silk ribbon over and over and everytime chocolate would topple out of the box and then I had to eat it, because, well, it's chocolate........
The bottom of the box is just a square piece of Prism cardstock, scored 1" evenly on each side -and then cut a little slit at each corner so they fold in nicely.
The lid is cut 1/8" larger, scored the same, but using my Circle nestabilties I cut a circle in the middle before folding and added a piece of clear sheet underneath - just using tombow glue.
I stamped one of the images from Faux Fun Circles over the top of the cut out circle with Ranger Vintage Photo ink and added a little bit of doodling around the edges of the stamped image.
I sponged the heck out of the box and added a few little pearls to the center of the flower and the Faux Fun Circles image!
I coloured up the rose and the leaves with my copics, cut them out and popped everything up onto the corner of the box.
For my next card, I have to say this is sort of a case of Julia's St. Patrick's Day card - which I loved (thanks Julia for inspiring me!)- and I used the same sketch from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday sketch .
The shamrock and the sentiment comes from the stamp set Celtic Heritage and I used two of the stamps from the new Vintage Label's No. 3 to show off the shamrock!
See how those labels can work with each other to make an even more lovelier frame?! I love it!
What a fun Blog Hop don't you agree!!??
Now please make your way to the lovely Julia see her wonderful creation and don't forget to leave a comment so that you might win a prize!!
Beautiful box, love the colouring on the rose, and the St. Pats card is very fresh and bright. xx

ReplyDeleteLove them both, but am especially fond of the shade of green you've used with the shamrock card. Not the usual green but it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh, if it had been my project I would have had to make a special run to the store because the box would have wound up empty of any chocolate! Very nice projects.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful little box and I love this striped card - the papers are wonderful!!!!
