Blue Wedding....

Was making some orders for a customer, well a friend, when she phoned and asked if I might be able to make her a wedding box as well as the 3 others I was doing!! Told her I had some wee ones made up and just needed decorating! So here is a quick Wedding Box...........

For this box I used some Navy 12x12 card and PM Big one paper, thought it was a nice change! I used white and light blue card for my layers plus the same light blue card to make my cake! I added messages printed on pearl paper, embellishments I had in my stash, plenty glitter to cake and gems to finish it!!

For a quick box it came out really well, especially the different colour! They couple like it!!!

Thanks for looking xxxxxxxx

Big Wedding Box

Well this is it, the last one for tonight x

I was asked to do this one for a friend of the family whos son is getting married this week, she wanted me to make the box larger than normal so they can maybe use it as a center piece for the table! Its been one of the hardest boxes I've had to do,as well as trying to do it while not being very well!

For this box I had to use a sheet of card 24x24 so it would be big enough in ivory. Once it was cut to size I used lilac card and cream card to decorte the sides. I made the wee embellishments for the sides and made the characters outfits all by me wee self. I made a large cake out of card and glitter glue and loads of wee flowers. I finished off the box with the printed messages and loads of gems!

It was so difficult to get it all right because of the size, dont think I would do this size again! Just hope they like it???

Another Birthday for a Gran

Heres the second for tonight x

This one again is for the my best client!! This one is for grandchildren to gave to their gran who likes knitting and sewing. She also wanted me to include a chocolate lab somewhere on the box. Being a dog lover I knew It needed a side all to itself!

On this box I used a pale lilac 112x12 card with a DCWV paper that I got from a big bundle. I used some white, silver and purple handmade paper for the layers and to print the messages. I also used peel-offs, gems and punched out flowers! Love me new flower punch!! I added some wee buttons and also a handmade spoil of thread for a wee touch! I also used flowers in the center again.

Again this was a fun box to do. Love making my own wee embellishments for the sides. Hope its okay for her!

Blue Birthday

Me again hee, thought I would add this on too as I just finished it!

Its a box for my mother-law to give to her friend! Wasn't to sure how to decorate it as I didn't have a theme to go with apart from blues, turquoise! After a few days debating with my self I decided to stick to flowers as there safe bet for women! Also added images from my Sugar Nellie stamps, just suited this card well!

For this box I used a bright blue 12x12 card stock and PM "The Big One" paper to decorate. I used silver and white card to layer the sides. I've used flowers from PM trio packs with gems to decorate, plus punched daisy with gems on the other sides. I also used wee frames and flower embellishments to decorate the outside. The box is finished with the stamped images. i used Blossom by Leanne Ellis from Sugar Nellie and coloured with Whisper pens.

Think the colours all work really well together! my mother-in-law loved it, just hope her friend does too!!

Wedding Cake

Hey everyone, hope you've all had a good weekend? didn't do much here, caught up was orders whilst hubby was finishing the driveway. He got a new van and needs the driveway to be bigger, really so I don't need to climb over to drivers side every time I go in or out!!

Well I was asked to make a nice wedding box for an older couple. Wanted it in ivory and gold, didn't have a lot of card stock as my orders hadn't came yet! Hope this is still OK for them??

I used a ivory/lemony card stock as it was all I had, then used PM papers to cover it. I also used off white sparkle paper to print out the wee messages, brown and gold papers to layer the sides. to finish the box off i used gems ribbon and wee flowers. The horseshoes I drew then cut out. The cake is made from 2 sheets of A4 card. Some ribbon and wee beads finish the cake off!

Hopefully its OK for the couple and the lemony its too noticeable!

Card for Chris!

Hi all, been a busy week for me! Had another 6 boxes to get done and also more wedding stationary catch ups! Been so horrible here, cold, rain, sleet and hail! Would have thought it was winter again! Today has been nice tho, hubby got more of the driveway done whilst I played in craft room! Not a bad day really!

Well I've done it, made the card I was asked to do for the blind person. It was one of the hardest boxes I've had too do, but with everyone's help I got it done! A big Thanks to Ellie for her help with finding me Braille, thanks pea!!

I used a bright green card stock for the base and PM 12x12 checked paper to decorate the box! Also used scraps of white card for the side panels. On the sides I used felt and triple stamped images so he could feel all the outlines! On the other sides I used gems for the Braille wording, with peel-off letters underneath for others to read. I used some flower soft on the outside for a grass effect. To finish off I added more gems and ribbon plus a wee whiskey in the middle!

I'm so happy with this box, the results are great! All the feed back I've had so far has been great!! Hopefully Chris will like it too, fingers crossed!!
