Mums birthday card

Good morning everyone.
Just wanted to show you the card I made for my Mums birthday in which I am entering into the Allsorts challenge this week.
It was a huge hit thankfully
Had to wait until today as her birthday was yesterday :)
Dies used are MDCR1205 Butterfly by Marianne, S4-462 labels 39 by Spellbinders and Banner Pennants by Whimsy.
The embossing folder is by Sizzix and came with the Bigshot Teal starter kit it is called Dotted Lattice.
I am so in love with this embossing folder and the Marianne butterfly at the moment. It is just stunning and cuts beautifully.
I have used a lot of glitter and pearls for this card as my mum is as mad about sparkle and bling as I am.
Every little dot on the embossing folder is glittered as are the flowers and butterfly.
Shame it can't all be seen in the picture as the effect is just amazing when the light captuers it.

Merry Christmas Card Box

Good morning everyone.

This creation was originally supposed to be my post for Stamping Sensations

Guest Designer spot due to winning their June challenge (wooohooo go me)

HOWEVER dummy that I am created this and it wasn't until I had taken

the photos that I suddenly noticed it wouldn't be any good.

Why? Because Stamping Sensations as the name suggests is a

stamping blog *doh* I had been so excited to use my prize of the

Tonic Studios full set of  Pretoria Duo dies that I completely

 forgot to use a stamp *slaps head*.

For anyone who would like to try the Card box the tutorial

can be found here on youtube.

The papers are from my Christmas stash, I cut and inked all the

edges using a sponge and Promarkers Forest green and pear green.

I assembled the box as per the tutorial and then added my matted

paper layers.

Added all the die cuts and poinsettia corsage and lots and lots of

fine gold glitter dust.

Inside the box I have just added some sweets I had for the photo

but these will be removed and chocolate added when I give it as a gift :)

Dies used ..

Tonic Studios - Pretoria Duo Caps A-N and O-Z

Spellbinders - S4-462 Labels 39

Tattered Lace - Sparkles

As you like it - Favourite colour - I just adore blue. For many it can be a sad colour but for me it means winter, snow, Ice and best of all it means Christmas is around the corner. Christmas is my favourite holiday and always brings back many many happy memories of my Grandparents that and Blue is the main colour of my newest favourite Disney film, Frozen of course. :)
