Light a Candle

I just thought I'd share a quick idea with you to make some fun embellishments for a birthday card.

I used the Embossalicious Cupcake folder to create my image and then cut it out and matted it on to cardstock. Then, using the tag images and scraps of leftover design paper from the Sugar and Spice CD I made some little candles - rolling the paper into tubes around the end of a paint brush - and then stuck them to my card. For 'flames' I added teardrop gems - I think it looks quite effective and fun! Why not give it a go!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Creations - Something Old Something New (Old tear drop gems from my stash/ New Embossing folder)
Cards Galore - Anything Goes

Anyway, have a good day and will be back soon with some more crafty makes! xx

Thanks a Bunch

After Birthdays and Christmas it is always good to have some 'Thank You' cards to hand to send out and thanks people for their gifts and cards. I created this card using the Sugar and Spice CD from Crafter's Companion.

The Card Companions on the CD are ideal for giving you a matching image, embellishments and a sentiment, and I teamed these up with some designer papers and an embossed background before adding quilled flowers, lace, pearl pen and glitter.
Hope you like it! I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

Hi All!
Well, here we are in another new year and the its time to get those calendars out and start planning the year ahead!

I made this little calendar using one of the frame cards from the Crafter's Companion 'Sugar and Spice CD and added the Die'sire Chantilly Lace die - cut in half to give it shape, before embellishing it with flowers made with the Die'sire Forget me Knot and Lace Bloom dies coloured with Distress Inks. Finally, I added gems and ribbon and the little calendar to the front. Hope you like it!

Happy Sunday Everyone!
Hope you're having a good weekend. With only one more day to go until the launch on Create and Craft, I just thought I'd share another project made using the new Sugar and Spice collection from Crafter's Companion

This time I made a pillow box from pastel blue Centura Pearl. I embossed it with the Embossalicious Delicate Floral folder, decorated it with a topper, ribbon and sentiment from the CD and added lace and die cut leaves from the new floral die collection.
Hope you like this little gift box - change the colours and it would be perfect for your Christmas prezzies!

Fabulous Fabric Flowers

I've loved playing with the new Sugar and Spice collection and accompanying Embossing Folders and Dies from Crafter's Companion. Today I thought I'd show that some of the products are perfect for other gift ideas besides papercrafting.

I decided to decorate a T-shirt - first using one of the Fabric Companions from the CD. Then I bought some felt - you could use material in a pattern to match - and die cut flowers and leaves using my Grand Calibur. The delicate flower dies cut through the felt perfectly. I layered the flowers up with button centres and sewed them onto the neckline of the T-shirt.

Such a pretty effect that you could use to decorate bags and other fabric items. Be sure to tune in to Create and Craft on Monday to get more ideas and inspiration for the 4 Day Deal collection.

Hope you like it!
Be back soon.

Celebrate with a Boxed Accordion Album

Morning All.
Today I thought I'd share a boxed accordion album I made using the papers, inserts and toppers from the new Crafter's Companion Sugar and Spice CD along with the complimentary Delicate Floral embossing folder from the collection.

The box was made from Centura Pearl card - in white and pastel blue - and I created a border using the Die'sire Lace Border 4 die. I then decorated the top with an embossed background and a Card Companion from the CD before embellishing with a ribbon, flowers created from the new Die'sire Forger Me Not die, a sentiment and gems.

I created my own accordion album - again from Centura Pearl - and made the various panels using the inserts and verse writer on the CD. I love my fussy cutting so cut up the toppers to decorate.
