Happy Valentine's Day...What is in the box??

This is for the MyGrafico Monday Feature -- using Vintage Labels. This Vintage labels have LOTS of possibilities and uses! (here is the website)

I decided to create some Valentine treasures! I first created a box....used white cs from MFPaHC and Paper Pizzaz dp and a stash piece of embossed pink cs. The pattern for the box was taken from Cutting Cafe. The box was cut out first and the lines scored...then cut out and scored the dp pieces....and started folding and taping. Then put on the finishing touches of some Sakura glitter pens accent on the Vintage labels, cut the labels out with Petite Scalloped Circles Large by Spellbinders,  added some ribbon on the cover, some decos, bling and stickers on the box....and filled the box with ???? Hmmmm??? Wonder what it is??

Then decided to finish the treat box off with a card. Again used the Petite Scalloped Circles Large and cut out a card and another Vintage label....attached the label to the front and decorated with decos, stickers and ribbon...the inside was totally with stickers!

And Happy Valentine's Day! Look down below and you will see the treat in the box! :-)

Happy Valentine's Day! This is the front of the card and box!

The inside of the card...and what is in the box

Oh it is Tic Tacs!! What a surprise! Happy Valentine's Day!

Tea Time

This is for the Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company -- use a shaped card. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did! Here is the website to enter and check out more cards!

I used a tea pot pattern from the Cutting Cafe and cut it out on white cs from MFP, then Stawberry Freeze cs and the dp is from K & Company. The lid of the tea pot is popped out with foam dots. The stamp set is Floral Tea from MFP a HC and I used copics to color it in to match the dp and then used Beaded Ovals Spellbinders to cut out the oval. Took a pink ribbon and weaved it in and out...added a little bling and it is the perfect card to send to a friend to share a cup and relax! I decided it would also work for a lunch invite to my friend who always drinks tea!

Hope you can join us for this challenge and add a little variety to your card making and make a shaped card....I am finding that I really am enjoying that little bit of something "different" to challenge me!

This is for the For Fun Challenge...Love sponsored by Meljens and there are the cutest digi stamps there! I couldn't resist and had to pick this one! (enter your challenge here!)

I used the QuicKutz nesting Doily Hearts diecut to make the background for the digi stamp. Colored with Copics and Sakura Glitter Pens on GKD white cs, Bubblegum pink cs and some dp from the Valentine stash.

An Irish Blessing Fairy

 This is my first card for the Design Team at MyGrafico! I am excited to be joining this group!!! They have some wonderful and exciting projects and I will have to work really hard to think "outside the box" and come up with some creative projects! Good for the ole brain to do some thinking!

This first challenge starts February 6 -February 17 and is sponsored by Sarah Paris. You can win this fairy image. (here is the website)

The theme of the challenge is Let's Go Green....so I opted to have my fairy become an Irish fairy and she is sending us all an Irish blessing! She is a digi stamp and colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pens and then cut out. The cardstock was creme de menthe from GKD and the Irish dp is from Best Creations. I used a patter from Cutting Cafe to make the shamrocks and layered it on the front and put the fairy on top of the Martha Stewart pearls. Added some embellishments, some more pearls,  and a rub on saying on the bottom with a ribbon and bow.    

The inside is also a rub on saying with some added coins. And I hope that Irish blessing comes true! Happy St. Patty's Day!

The cs was MFP Snow Storm and then the background was purple GKD, stash Valentine paper. The image was cut out with Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts. The sentiment was stamped with Memento and then the background direct chalk to paper sponge. Also sponged the background of the heart. Added some ribbon and some bling and Happy Valentine's to you!
