Bling Bling Box

Gold BLING box made for a friend.  This box took forever to do but I am really happy with the results.  The purse in side was from a template found here.  Box is made from black cardstock covered in gold metallic paper.  The paper was scored at 1/2" to look quilted.  All the points have a 3mm clear rhinestone.  The purse is made with gold cardstock and scored the same as the box but at a 1/4".

Animal Print Gift Box

Gift card box made from Animal print paper.  This paper is fuzzy to the touch.  The lid is made from a shimmer copper paper with rinestones added for a little bling.

Glass Blocks

Made a few blocks today for the craft fair and one for my daughter's friend who just had a little boy.  I etched the glass block to get the frosted look.  All the vinyl was cut on the Cricut with Sure Cuts A Lot.  My favorite softerware!!!

Cristmas Cards

Well these look a lot better in real life!!  Can't seem to get the effect of the shine of embossing powder.  Made two sets of 10 of each of these two cards.

This one is done in gold embossing powder. Stamped with Martha Stewart Christmas set.

This one is done in Silver embossing powder. There are rhinestones on the points of the large snowflake.  This was stamped with multiple stamps placed on a large acrylic block.  Stamped in versamark and them covered in embossing powder and heated.

Cards

Working all weekend on getting stuff ready for the craft fair I am doing in October.  This will the first time I have a booth somewhere.  Really excited and really nervous.  I am trying to do a little bit of everything.  Here are a few cards I worked on this week.

Multicolored cards with Elements of Style from Stampin Up

Same stamp set.  This card is 5x5

These were made with the Beautiful Wings embossing die, Cuttlebug flowers folder and Watercolor Trio from Stampin Up.  The butterflies were stamped with Elements of Style.

This card is made with the fall leaves stamp set from Inkadinkado.  I saw this card on SCS and had to make it.  I can't find it now to give credit to the inspiration.  Sorry!  This is sponged and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Dragon Box

My newest box.  I was at the Cat's Meow in Oakhurst last weekend and saw this adoarable dragon paper from Pinecone Press Designs.  I just had to do something with it and this is what it wanted to be.  LOL  I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder Pebbles to texture the box.  The blue is cardstock I had on hand.  The purple is the back side of the dragon paper.  I cut out all the little dragons and put them on acetate to "float" around the cake on the inside.

Pink & Black Bag

Another bag today.  I really liked this paper and thought it would make a great bag.  Used the Becky Roberts template again for this bag. 

Shoji Screen Box

I am so pleased with how this turned out!!  Shoji screens and cherry blossoms.  Took a little time to get the measurements just right.  Used my favorite tool SCAL to get it all cut out.  I didn't want to block any of the side screens for the gift card so I had to find somewhere else to put it.  It is hanging from the lid!  It fits snugly in the slot and doesn't take away from the screens.

Still Making Bags

Here are a few more bags that I have made.  I am trying to get ready for a craft fair in October so I have been busy making multiple items. 

Bags, Bags and more Bags!!

I have been on a bag, purse, tote (whatever you want to call them) kick!  Here are the few I made this week.  The first 3 were made using a template from Creations by AR.  You can get it here . This was the first one I made.  Really like this paper.

This one was for a friends daughter's 8th grad graduation.  She loves the sculls!  I used iron ons from the t-shirt section of Michaels.  Youcan't see in the photo but the gray paper is actually a silver metallic.

This was for a co-workers birthday. 

This one I found on MelStampz.blogsot.com.  She got it of the Hermes website but when I went there this style and print was no longer available.  I downloaded this from Mel's page on Splitcoaststampers.  The link is here.  I like this bag but it is just too small.  Not even big enough for the gift card.

So........thanks to my trusty Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot I made a bigger one!

This one is from Becky Roberts Tres Chic Handbags.  You can get the tutorial here.  Again the bag was a little smaller than I wanted so I used the Cricut ans SCAL to enlarge it a bit.  I used white stazon to stamp the paper.  Used basic blak on the tissue paper using the same stamp.  Also sprayed the tissue with silver Glimmer Mist.  Very happy with the way this turned out.  Just not sure about the tag.  May change that out.

These two I used Coach & Louis Vuitton patterns that I downloaded.  They look cute in the photos but the image is kind of blurry in real life.  Won't be doing that again but it was fun to play with.

STAIR STEP CARD

My first try at making a stair step card.  This was a lot of fun.  I will have to do a couple more of these. The tall envelope in the back holds a gift card.

Cricut Classes

I am going to be teaching a few Cricut Classes.  Here is the flyer for the first one.  If you have any requests on things to make in these classes let me know.
