A Princess and A Castle

Pin It

I have something super cute to share with you today!

I used this Fairy Castle Album from Limelight Papercrafts.

And here is what I came up with:



The pink and white paper you see from the front are from Bazzill.
I used Bling in the Pink and Bling Diamond. I used mod podge to adhere all papers.

The rub-ons you see on the front and throughout the book are Crate Paper's Sweet Branch.

I used lots of bling! A princess book must have sparkle!
I used silver and soft pink rhinestones.

And of course, lots of yummy ribbon!
3/8" reversible pink
3/8" striped pink
5/8" sheer brown dot
5/8" textured brown/gold
petunia tulle

The chipboard 'C' at the top is covered with Kaisercraft Sorbet Lime Fizz paper.



These next pages are covered with more of the Kaisercraft Sorbet Lime Fizz paper.
I used circle and scallop circle punches and chocolate chip paper.
You'll also see where I've left blank circles or rectangle for the Mom to write notes or dates, etc.



The paper on the left page is Kaisercraft Sorbet Mint Fudge.
More of the fabulous rub-ons!



This adorable Princess had her birthday party at an animal safari park so I had to go with that theme!
On the left page I used a sheet from the Basic Grey Sugared 6x6 pad, the one w the flamingos and giraffes.
I also used some brown/ivory fuzzy dot ribbon ~ it's soft like fur! LOL

Go check out the cute albums at Limelight Papercrafts!
There are several to choose from!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Recipe:
Papers ~ Bazzill: Bling in the Pink, Bling Diamond; Kaisercraft Sorbet: Lime Fizz, Mint Fudge, Basic Grey 6x6 Sugared, white, vanilla, chocolate chip

Accessories ~ caslte album, rhinestones, chipboard 'C', rub-ons, ribbons, mod podge

Birthday Monkeys!

Pin It


How cute are these silly monkeys?!!!

This is Changito Amigos by Stampendous.
I colored them in with Copics and Bic Mark Its.

The sentiment and 'doodles' they are standing on are rub-ons: Crate Paper's Sweet Branch Rub-Ons.

And even though it's after Christmas, doesn't mean you have to put away your Basic Gray Wassail papers! A lot of the papers aren't limited to Christmas use!
The two backgroud papers are from the Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad.

I embellished with the brown/ivory fuzzy dot ribbon, brown/antique gold ribbon and the scrumptious chocolate pearls!

A Little Tin

Pin It


Now that this has arrived at it's destination (Mandy at Limelight!!)~ I can share it with you!

This is another one of those Michael's gift cards tins (like I used HERE) that I got for .10 after Christmas last year!

I used modpodge to adhere my paper, which is from the Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad.
I punched out two flourishes and mod podged them on and then did a mod podge 'top coat' over the whole thing.

I used the Martha Stewart Snowflake 2008 punch to make three snowflakes and embellished them with red pearls.

I finished off the edge of the lid with red ribbon.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Stamps ~ none
Paper ~ Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad, red

Here's my take on the sketch:



This image is Wreath Angel by Stampendous. I absolutely LOVE this stamp!
I paper pieced the angel's dress using Twinkly Tidings Holly Jolly paper by TaDa.
I used Candle Light Shimmerz on the wings.

The background paper and the strips are both Twinkly Tidings Holly Jolly paper by TaDa...love that it's double sided!

I embellished with pearls and Martha Stewart Branch and 2008 Snowflake punches.

Ok, here's my game...

I've made two gift card holders.
Leave me a comment guessing which one you think actually holds a gift card inside....and on Thursday morning I'll announced the winner along with pics of the insides of each and you'll see which one has the gift card in it!

First up...

I followed a fabulous tutorial by our very own Ryann!
I did change up my measurements some to make it a little larger.

I started off with the Twinkly Tidings Chilly Willy paper by TaDa.
And, because it's double sided, the inside of the gift card holder also has a lovely print.

I used Christmas List by Unity stamped in Not Quite Navy.
And added Ice Blue rhinestones inside the snowflakes for some sparkle.
I finished it off with white polka dot sheer ribbon!

Next up is a little tin:

This is one of the gift card tins from Michael's, they have them up near the cash registers.
After Christmas last year...I grabbed a bag full for .10 each! (I hope to do that again this year ~ they are perfect for gift cards, candy, jewelry, etc.)

This uses Fashionable from the Basic Grey Sultry Collection.
The pink scalloped piece is from the Sultry 6x6 pad.
I used mod podge to adhere the paper and to make a thin top coat sealant.

Next I used the super fun Olive/Sage Fuzzy/Center Dot Ribbon to go around the side of the lid. I used red line tape to ahere the fuzzy dot ribbon.


I used the Dangling Dazzlers stamp by TaDa. I used markers (Green Galore and Pink Passion) to color the stamp.
I used a quickie glue pen to adhere Pixee Stix Raspberry and Stampendous Melon glitters.
Each ornament is 'hanging' from rhinestones, either Hot Pink or Yellow (which is a yellow-green color).

So, there are the two options for your comment.
You can put #1 or #2.......... 'paper' gift card holder or tin......
I'll draw a winner from all of the correct guesses and post it sometime Thursday morning!


Here's what you could WIN!!


Clearsnap Sparkling Amethyst glitter AND a JenMarie's Cupcake Owl stamp!
Yep, that's a little owl I drew and Johanna of Odd Bird Planet turned it into a stamp!
Be sure to check in tomorrow...I'll show you are FABU card that Tiffany made with this little cutie!

Recipe for gift card holder:
Stamps ~ Christmas List by Unity
Ink ~ Not Quite Navy
Paper ~ white, silver, Twinkly Tidings Chilly Willy by TaDa
Accessorios ~ rhinestones in ice blue, white polka dot sheer ribbon, nesties, dimensionals

Still had my Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad out so used that for the background paper.

The penguins' bellies are shimmery from a clear spica.

I used my Olive Copic marker to color the 'edge' of the top note piece to give it a layered look.

I made this for This is for MFTGD13.

I altered a gift card tin (from Michael's).
These are perfect for gift cards, gift tags, gift cards, candy, jewelry and much more!

I used Garnener Flopsey by My Favorite Things.
I had to give him long sleeves though since he's out in the snow!
I cut the carrot out of the wheelbarrow and added snow!



The background dp is from the Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad.
The white snowflakes are a CB die, the green snowfalkes and 'branches' are Martha Stewart punches.

I used a clear spica all over the ground of snow for some shimmer.
The wheelbarrow is covered with a Sakura Glaze pen to look like metal.
There is white liquid applique for the snow in the wheelbarrow.

I used red pearls for the snowflake centers.
And, finished it off with a scarf for Flopsey!
I used the same ribbon as the scarf to go around the tin (this doesn't show in the pic).

This month it is packaging for baked goods.


To make the box, I traced a Starbucks Mocha Truffles box onto FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper by TaDa.
I used my Scor-pal to help with the folds... And cut a 'window' in the box using nestabilities.

I used the Martha Stewart 2008 Snowflake punch for the red snowflakes and put red pearls in the center.


The top of the box is finished off with white polka dot sheer ribbon and a tag stamped with one of the ornaments from Dangling Dazzlers.
To get this snowflake image you can also use the Frosty Flake stamp.


For the card, I used more of the fabulous FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper trimmed with green rick rack.
I used the Dangling Dazzlers (or you could use Frosty Flake) stamp on the green backgound.
Another snowflake, red pearl and topped with the white polka dot sheer ribbon.

And the inside:
