The DT all got fab stamps to play with and this is the one I chose

Isn't it just so cute! There is so much detail and yet its a lovely size so that you can use loads of embellies - and it fits the spellbinders circle dies too

Decorated box for Inky Impressions Inspirational blog

Hi all

Today its my turn for the inspirational post at Inky Impressions and I decided to make a cute little gift box.  I've made this as a Christmas gift box using the lovely Inky Impressions stamp Marleigha and Pebbles Ice skating available here

I made my box using  the Crafters Companion Ultimate Pro.   I always use this  to make boxes - it takes literally minutes, all of the instructions come with the ultimate pro and all you need is some card, glue and a pair of scissors.

This is how I made and decorated this gift box

• I constructed the box using white pearl card for the base and a snowflake patterned card from DCWV for the lid.
• I then stamped and coloured the image using copics and prismacolour pencils and added silver glitter
• Next I made a tag for the box using a sizzix label die and stamped the sentiment from inky impressions - it says - "Just for you .... so you don't have to share"  - really cute sentiment!
• I then decorated the tag with ribbon and a cute little winter penguin charm also from Inky Impressions

Hope you like it!

Colour on Kraft Challenge at My Time to Craft

Good morning all

Bet you're all as confused as I am!! My Time to craft has moved days to Saturday from today - and I think I quite like it.  It makes a change to post at weekends.

This weeks challenge is

Colour on Kraft

Make anything you like as long as the coloured image is on Kraft card.  I have to admit that I've never done this before and it was a bit of a challenge - but wel,l thats what it is - I suppose some challenges are more challenging than others!!  The thing i found the hardest was that the kraft changes the colour of the pens so it needs a bit of thought to get it right.

I  decided to go really simple and make a tag with a gorgeuos stamp that I've had for ages but never used - I thought it would fit this challenge well

The flower and the sentiment are both from a beautiful set by Anna Griffin - I think its botanical flowers or something like that!  I made the tag in 3 layers in Kraft and Bazzill card in blue and coloured the stamped flower with blue copics  numbers B61,63 and 65.  I then went over it with a white gel pen to highlight the details and that really brought it to life.  The ribbons are from a bag of scrap ribbon.  There are several of these gorgeous flowers in the set - think I might make some more of these simple tags with different flowers.

Have a great weekend everyone - hope everyone enjoys the craft show at Harrogate - I would have loved to have gone but I'm babysitting my grandson while my daughter is away for the week at a wedding - so no can do!!

Challenges I'm entering with this card

Crafty Mess challenge blog - anything goes

In the Dark Challenge at Moving along with the times

Hi all

Yes I know I'm late!  I got caught up yesterday - would you believe tracing the family tree for my mother!! She's got such a bee in her bonnet about it lately and I finally gave in yesterday and tried to do something about it and that was it - I was there all day and half the night but I did find out all sorts of things - not sure it was the sorts of things my mother wanted me to find - it was a bit like an episode of Who do you think you are!!  I don't suppose its the end of it, I'm now waiting for replies from emails to see where to go next, as if I've got nothing else to do!!  It was really hot in the office at work today and with going to bed so late I would have loved just half an hours sleep to catch up - I wonder if anyone would have noticed he he.

Anyway onto today's card for this weeks challenge at

No patterned papers challenge at Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week

Good Morning all

How the weeks are flying by - we have suddenly arrived at the first Wednesday in October - how did that happen!

Todays challenge over at Fab'n'Funky is themed

No Patterned papers

I have to admit that I don't find these kind of challenges easy!  I don't have a lot of embossing folders and I don't really like plain.  I'm on a bit of a Christmas thing at the minute (aren't we all when we panic and count the weeks to Christmas - then panic again!) and I have got a few Christmas embossing folders so decided that would work best for me.

 our sponsor this week is Stamp Fairy I used a digi from their winter collection called Molly Winter 2  I used my favourite blue and white colour combo - I just love this combination for Christmas cards

This is what I did...
