Paper Mache Box - tissue paper and beeswax

Ooohhh I love how this box came out. Using Beeswax and Tissue paper from Michael's I attached strips and ovals of the tissue paper to the box. Made a rossette and hot glued it to the top of the box.

Added flat back pearls to the key and the box cover lip.

All items I bought from Michael's craft store.

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Challenge 23

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long this week challenge is to make a white card, I did one of these a few weeks back (on my own - lol) - so this time I added a splash of color for my base card to match my ink.

The subtle image you see is actually a Cuttlebug Embossing folder.
It may be hard to see - it is a house amongst the snow drift with new fallen snow. click on the pic below to see a close up.
Pearls added for the falling snow. The Sentiments are from Inkadinkado.

Bridal Shower card

Here is another Bridal Shower card I need for tomorrow. I used the Cricut Wild Card cartridge for the base card at 5"(called a doily) which I ran through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Accent strip in red 1" was punched using Martha Stewart border punch. Pearls from Michaels accent the border piece as well.

Rose was cut at 5" also on the Wild Card cartidge - which I cut 5 times to be able to layer the flower and leave sections. Inked and pop dot up for dimension.

Sentiment - computer generated and mounted on red cs and I used the Stampin' Up ticket punch on the corners.

Butterfly - birthday card quick and simple

I just love the butterfly cut from Indie Art. I cut the Butterfly at 2 1/4" (I first did a 3" cut and it was huge) Then I did the shadow in a diff color cs. The accent under the butterfly is also from Idie Art - it is the shift/heart key.

Pearls glued to the butterfly and my wonderful glitter pen used on the accent cut and the butterfly wings.

Base card stock was run through birds and swirls Cuttlebug Emossing folder.

Butterfly - Mother day card for my sis

So I spent a little bit of time over two days creating this card - my vision and execution were slightly diff but I am happy with the outcome.I entered this in the Challenge #29:Happy Mother's Day at the cuttlebug spot blog.



Transparency cut and embossed with the Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder and overlayed to the cover.
The inner portion of the card was embossed with D'vine Swirls and sanded so the white core shows through. Pearls and paper flowers added as accents. Sentiment from Wild Card Cricut Cartridge.
