Heart Top Treat Box

H1! It will be Valentine's Day before we know it, so I made this cute little Heart Top Treat Box.

I used Heart Top Treat Boxes & Tags from My Scrap Chick for my box. I also used an older image from Magnolia and a scalloped oval from Cricut.

The main part of my box is 5 3/8 inches tall (excluding the heart closure at the top). I cut the box from cardstock included in the "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" from the paper studio. I used glitter cardstock from Recollections for the mats and hearts at the closure.

I used a second smaller heart print from the same stack for the band around the box, then added a band of green gems. I added three mats in graduated sizes from 4 1/2 inches to 4 inches.

 Four hearts were cut from pink glitter cardstock and added to the closure flaps at the top.

 The image was uploaded to Design Space and printed out at 3 1/2 inches. She was colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I used a sewing needle and a double strand of pink thread to add a string to her heart banner. She was added to the mats with foam tape. Two little paper flowers were added at her feet.

I love this sweet little box!

Tea Time

Hi! I find a good cup of tea so relaxing on a cold January day, don't you?

I made this sweet little easel card using Teapot Card and Envelope and an oval easel card base from Easel Card Collection. Both files are from My Scrap Chick.

                                                                       

                                                         

The image is from Magnolia and was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

I made the card from Cardstock from the Samantha Rose Stack from DCWV along with some scraps from my paper stash. I omitted the card layer of the file, and attached the teapot to the easel card base, I attached the image and the sentiment with foam tape, then added paper flowers, a tiny butterfly, and an aqua bow as accents.

You can turn any shape into an easel card by attaching it to an easel card base from My Scrap Chick. Give it a try. I have to admit that I have a special fondness for easel cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!

RDS Skating Shape Card

When I was growing up January always meant skating at the local outdoor skating rink.

I used Rag Doll Sweetheart Skating from Little Blue Button Stamps and a skate image from Cricut for my shape card. I welded two five inch bottom layers of the skate together, back-to-back.

You can find the file in Design Space here:
https://design.cricut.com/#/design/121204224
If you do not already own this skate file it will cost you $.99.

 I laced the skate with 3/8 inch aqua ribbon and tied it at the top. I added snowflake stickers and gems onto the card.

I printed the image at 4.5 inches and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils. After I fussy cut her out leaving a small margin of white, I added her to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Winter!
