Giftcard Holder for Blackleaf Designs

Hey Friends,

A very Happy Sunday to you all. A quick post to share this morning :). New sketch challenge is up at the Blackleaf Studios.

For this beautiful sketch, I made something different. I created a Giftcard holder for this sketch and using a Unicorn stamp set too.

 I used lots of roses in PP as well as in fabric. The butterflies were printed on PP, cut out and stacked one on one. Adorned with some rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty and the band is used in the center to hold the giftcard holder intact.

I am playing along the following challenges with this project:
Craft Your Passion - challenge#35 'anything goes'
Mami Doodles - challenge#16 'anything goes'
Creative Card Crew - challenge 'anything goes'
The Shabby Tea Room - week#39 'tis the season'

So, get set and create for the sketch and link your entry to the Blackleaf Studio blog. A winner could win a whole set of fab  digis.

Have a lovely Sunday,
xoxo
 

Snowing Treat @ PaperCutz

How are you doing today? Its Friday again, time for another PaperCutz Challenge. As temperature here and at many places are dipping to chills, so this week at PaperCutz, we have decided to see some virtual snowflakes and snowman in your creations :).

The challenge this week is to create a card, LO or craft project using a hand stamped, digital stamped or Cricut cut image of a snowflake or a snowman, using any color you'd like.

I created a cookie jar using a very cute Snow Buddy digi image from Fresh Brewed Designs. Since, its too cold, I made it Mrs Snow buddy serving cookies and coffee :).

Have you noticed the cute flowery mittens she wearing :)? I colored her with my fav colors pink & lavender, cos I wanted to keep this jar in my kitchen. So why not use my favorite colors. Add a dash of silver here and there and some pearls :).

Wanted to share another duo in this series. I created this for a Digi day of The Stamping Boutique and Freshly Brewed Challenges that was on last Saturday. I created this using a digi stamp from TSB.

So flowery. right? I paper pierced the apron and use the same PP for tying around the jar. This was a super quick creation. I managed to create this in merely 10 minutes -from printouts to cutting to coloring and arranging :)). I just love this apron - color and flowers. This is on my wish list ;) shhh!!! :).

Ohh! these jars are looking so lovely side by side on my kitchen counter :). Will create some other mix n' match for these {wink}{wink}.

You all have a lovely weekend!

Candy Wrap for Freshly Brewed

Hi Creative People,

Its 1st of Dec today! Am amazed that we have entered into the last month of this year. And in no time we will be ushering towards a New Year :).

Talking of new beginnings; we have a new challenge posted on Freshly Brewed Challenges FBC 25.  Create a card or craft project using RED, WHITE and PINK.

And there are some new image releases at Fresh Brewed Designs. Heather has made these beautiful "EMMA" images and some of the things that she can hold :). She is adorable :). Each of the DTs today is having special eye candy for you, their awe-inspiring creations showcasing Emma. Just check them out.

But, first have a look what I created for you!

I created a chocolate gift wrap just to crispify the look of that boring chocolate wrapper ;). Here is a close up of beautiful Emma holding a gift box 'just for you' :).

I colored the image with pencil colors and add bits of gel pen marks for polka dots, shoes and gift. Wrapped a ribbon around the box and place the image on it with dimensionals. The huge silver rhinestone is just added to complement the DP and the image.

This card goes to the following challenges:
Wee Memories - challenge#33 'use ribbons'
Karber Weekly - challenge#16 'sparkle'
There She Goes - TSG83 'card for kids'
