Guest Designer entry

Hello All,
Hope you all will play along with Week 88 challenge at C.R.A.F.T. blog where I am guest designer this month!
Their give-away for the challenge is from Susie Sugar of Diecut Dreams! You can see the give-a-way shown below. It is "50 piece Valentines Die cut Cupcake kit, cut in yummy Romantic Red, Hot Candy Pink and Pure White quality card."

I have to tell you - I love the die cuts and quick shipping from the UK to the USA!
Here is my guest spot with the birdhouse die I bought from Susie! I bought a pack of the birdhouses, some cupcakes and chipboard keys!
For the flowers I used Prima and iRock bling. The sentiment and oval punches are from SU!. The leaves are also from SU - the two step Bird punch.

Above is the inside - I used a bit more of the EK Success border fence punch, more Prima flowers and my iRock for the centers.

A Key to a whisper

You know when you have a vision... and then your card turns out nothing like that! I think because I started with the green cs for a base. Anyway here are the elements on the card.
The paper chipboard is actually the side of a tissue box and I love the colors. (I ran it through the crimper).
The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch that I inked and added some i*rock bling. I attached a tiny chipboard key on wire and hung it from the butterfly wing.
The hearts and key are a old Provo Craft metal die that I forgot I had. It cut the card stock as well as the chipboard beautifully!!.
The fibers are from a local store in the next town over (which is also in my give-a-way) and the border is a punch from Martha Stewart that I inked as well.

Christmas gift -tiny box of candles

Well - I grouped a few challenges together and came up with this cute gift!
Use the directions to make this little box from an 8" x 8" piece of card stock.
Score at 1", 3" 5" and 7". Turn 90 degrees to the next side and score the same.

The stamp is a set I bought at Wal-Mart last year - I do not keep my packaging so I do not know if it had a brand name.
I then inked around the edges of the Martha Stewart border punch. Use my new i rock tool and adhered some rhinestones.
All 4 sides are the same.

To make the inner gift - I stamped the same image on tissue paper and melted it into the little tea lights. Bagged them and added a ribbon and a tag (Staples). Stamped and inked as well.

Entering this in

Crafts and Me - A Christmas gift

Waiting for Santa

I love this stamp - you can imagine the little child peering out at the snow covered ground looking for Santa.

My sister and I went to Michael's today and they had the i*rock tool on sale for 40% off and all the rhinestones too. So I added them to this card to try it out!
