Delightful Downton

Morning All!
Hope you're loving the Crafter's Companion shows on Hochanda with the fabulous Downton Abbey collections. I love all the vintage images and elements so today I thought I'd share a couple of my samples using the kit.

I made a little gift card and pillow box using the card blanks and chipboard frames, decorating them with flowers, pearls and toppers from the kit.

Hope you like them!

Best wishes

Moonbeam Duo

Afternoon All!

Just a quick post from me to share a little pillow box and matching card I made for my friend using the Moonbeam Meadow card stock, toppers and inserts. I bought the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box board in the Crafter's Companion sale so I thought I'd give it a whirl!

Hope you like this little set.

Thanks for looking!

Faberdashery Easel Box Card

Afternoon Crafters!

Today I thought I'd share a little gift box/card that I made using Hunkydory's 'Faberdashery kit.

The original kit enabled you to make a frame card, but I adapted it with more Adorable Scorable and patterned cardstock to make it into an easel box card so that it becomes a card and gift box in one.

Frame lifts up allowing somewhere to write your greeting.

Lined drawer space to add your gift.

Hope you like it! I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:
ABC Challenge - Y is for Your Choice
Crafty Creations - Anything Goes

Bye for now

A Bear and a Bouquet

Well, Happy New Year folks! I hope you enjoyed your celebrations! I can't quite believe its all over now!
Today I thought I'd share a card which is a bit of a blast from the past - a Moonbeam Meadow image  from Crafter's Companion which I've coloured with my Spectrum Noirs.

I teamed the image with pink card, and papers and a doily from the Moonbeam Everyday CD, before adding gems, ribbon and a sentiment.

Hope you like it!

Back soon
