Camping season is upon us...

Starry skies and smores time.  I made this box shaped like a fire with a marshmallow on a stick.  I plan to stamp a saying on the marshmallow.  Next comes the 3 d camper.  I think I will also try the marshmallow smores box that is graham cracker style box. There is a 3d lantern and thermos too!  Love to gift my camping friends or the guys in our lives with these items.

Box Cards ....

How cute are these ! Its so fun to receive one and see how they pop up to make a great presentation to sit out on your shelf.    I embossed the strawberry's with dots and added baker's twine.  Folds to fit in envelope...

Gazebo for a Wedding.....

                                 I can finally post the picture and share as this was a surprise gift. This adorable box is all made of paper !

  The embossed roof...I ordered a whole package of heavy weight white cardstock by Bazzill to make sure I was using all the same white (I also used it for the lining of the box as my paper was not double sided but was white on the opposite side of the patterned paper.)   Some double sided papers are not always pretty on the other side and would show when opening the box. I added a wooden ball to the roof to finish it off.

 The green flowered paper is the lid for the bottom box.  You do need to have a nice weight paper to make this feel more substantial.  I made the box walls stronger by adding an inner lining of white panels.  I added the sage green pom pom trim to take away from too much pink.  There are so many different ways to decorate this but I decided not to go over the top and keep it a little more classic.  A nice tea light in the center would be nice for evening. 

Camera mini....

 I made a mini album to fit inside the camera that I made earlier.  I used some of the new October Afternoon embellishments and journal cards. 

Easter time....

 I had originally made this basket for a summer picnic theme but think its great for any occasion - even Easter.  The top sides lift up.  I paired it with this card and viola - a nice gift set. 

Camera -Sneak Peak

Camera box

 

 My girlfriend takes credit for making me add the silver metallic dazzles to the lens and top.  It added so much character to it !  Below on the left is a view with the top off and the right is the mini I am making to fit inside.  I plan to use new October Afternoon paper line to that is all about photography & cameras.  Stay tuned for the finale of the mini...

April Showers Card

 

Made this cute card as I am thinking of days when I will see green grass again...... I loved the 3d umbrella inside. I inked the edges of the boots and the top layered cloud and added pop dots to make it stand out a little more. The rain drops and boots on the front have some bling which made a finishing touch.  I also added in some free handed grass to make the boots more grounded.
