Roomie Gift for Stampin' Up! Convention in Brussels 2014

Hello!

Today's post is the forgotten one ;-) I decorated this box as a gift for my friend Jules with whom I shared a room with when we went to Brussels for Convention in October. The tradition is that we make a special little gift for the person we are sharing a room with and I found this perfect, already painted and distressed, box and I just had to decorate the top with rolled flowers ;-)

 I used a combination of Smoky Slate, White and Sahara Sand card to make the flowers

 I used a piece of Basic Grey card to go in the lid of the box (which is actually glass) I added it with glue dots so it can be replaced or changed, then added two doileys before topping with a circle of flowers. I added some scrunched up tissue paper (the same as when I made THIS CARD, I will try and do a quick video on that later next week...) to the middle before glueing the centre flowers to it with my hot glue gun

 and a quick picture inside, I did add a cute little pack of Burts Bees lip gloss in here before gifting too :-)

OK. that's today's project for you! I hope you liked it and if you have any questions then please do let me know.

I'll be back tomorrow with a Christmas Card set but until then, 

Happy Stampin'

SU! Spiral Flower Die Wedding Card and Weekly Deal update and recommendations ;-)

Hello there,
I'm here tonight with a little wedding card for you. The colours were requested to match the happy couples wedding day colours and so I made this card using the Spiral flower die - a favourite of mine if you hadn't noticed- see my left hand side bar for a video on making shabby chic style version with this die - in a Pacific Point and So Saffron colour way...

I used both colours and doubled layered the flowers, you need a die cutting machine to use this die, handy then that there is a fab BIG SHOT promotion this month too ;-)

Some sequins, itty bitty punched flowers (retired now, sadly) and a few rhinestones decorate between the spiral flowers

Sentiment was printed in a matching blue ;-)

The inside was kept pretty clear, simply layered with the blue, as lots of people had to sign this card

and I decorated an envelope box to send the card in too

and before I go tonight here are my Top Picks from this weeks deals ending Tuesday, I will be popping a little order in Monday so if you would like to add to it then please message me  with free postage if you can collect from me :-)

OK, lets start with the Finishing Touches Edgelits, these are just £6.71 this week, I used the pinking edge die on this card I designed for Making Cards magazine earlier this year (with the now retired Gingham Wheel), click on any pic to see them larger :-)

Plus the lovely Hexagon Hive die is reduced this week to £15.71 and the Bigz Bow die is also on offer for just £21.71, I'm loving the dies right now ;-)

There are more plenty bargains to be had in my shop HERE, so please go take a look- don't forget to click on the Clearance Rack tab and take a look there too  :-)

OK, that's all from me for now, thanks for visiting today,

Stampin' Up's Spiral Flower Die and Million and One plus it's Weekly Deals Day too!

Hello there,

So, my card reader has finally turned up so I can get back to sharing the cards I made the last couple of weeks with you again! I had sent these ones so couldn't re-take the pics :-s

I had three birthdays -all last week- so I decided to make the cards all the same just change the colours to suit the recipients. I had designed the first Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana card for my Spiral Flower class where I shared how to make three different versions of this flower including this, what I call "the standard" version shown here where you simply roll a single die cut and secure. I'll share the other two with you tomorrow ;-)

So, here's card #1

 White and Strawberry Slush flowers, 

TIP: I use a hot glue gun to secure my flowers as it's quick drying

 Million and One sentiment, I love this font and really hope SU! make a Happy Birthday version really soon! ;-) Basic Rhinestones add some bling to each sentiment

 Now, card #2 uses the new In Colour Blackberry Bliss. I'm not usually a purple kinda girl but I have to say the depth of this colour is stunning and I loved playing with it, I have teamed it here with Pink Pirouette which is a lovely soft pink

 Rolled flowers, they are so dark it was quite hard to get a good picture 

 and card #3 for today is a Soft Sky and Crisp Cantaloupe version

 Cantaloupe and white flowers, all the cards had leaves made using the bird punch and Vellum card, these are a lovely and subtle way to add leaves and keep your colours simple

and the three cards all together

 And lastly I couldn't resist a picture of all the flowers together, I had positive comments from the three ladies I sent them to but what do you think blog readers?

**Edit to say don't forget to check out this weeks Weekly Deals**

My top picks this week are Gold Vellum for just £7.46 and Smoky Slate Chevron ribbon for £6.19

 Ok, I'm off for now but want to say thanks for stopping by today
