Cute storage idea

Morning everyone.
Today I have a cute little storage idea that I think is fab.
Lots of flowers for the Allsorts challenge this week 'Flower Power'
Almost didn't finish it in time.
The original tutorial by Pootles Papercraft has it as
storage for finished cards.
Unfortunately my cards are to big for it but I have found it
perfect for my little word stamps that I regularly use.
Created from a single sheet of A4 card and then decorate.
I decorated mine with 2 colours of flower paper.
Edged with lace ribbon and pearl string.
Dies used are Marianne Butterfly and Spellbinder Elegant oval.
Sizzix for the leaves and topped off with some pink flowers.
Isn't it cute ? I now have another 4 waiting to be decorated lol

OMG I almost forgot to say my Satin and Lace wedding card
was chosen as a top five in last weeks challenge *woohooo* so excited :)
Thank you so much to all the ladies at Allsorts *mwah*

Altered Chai Latte Pot

Hi everyone.

I have a little altered project today.
I was so fed up of looking at my boring pen pot.
This was created to enter Brendas 5th blogaversary.
If you haven't seen Brendas blog you are missing out on some beautiful pieces of artwork.
We have to share our all time favourite crafting item by entering a new piece of artwork using it.

If you have been following me for a while you will know that my favourite die is Caged bird by Tim Holtz so of course had to be used.
I covered a piece of white card using my favourite swirly butterfly stamp from Flourishes by Michele Marsden.
I love all types of swirls and this pack has a few very pretty ones.
Added some orange ric-rac along the top and bottom
I also love sparkle so used irridescent pearls and then covered them, the cage and leaves in holographic glitter.
Finished off with a flower, candi and blue ribbon.

No longer a boring old pot and I love how it turned out.

Storage Drawers and GDT Inspiration

Good Morning wonderful people.
I was lucky enough to win the GDT spot in a challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts challenge blog and had to choose a stamp to use.
Boy was that a hard decision to make.
So many beautiful stamps to choose from and you wouldn't believe how hard a choice that is when you have the option of any stamp you want.
I finally narrowed it down to a pretty little fairy stamp called 'Fairy Happy' by Tiddly Ink's
Such beautiful stamps to create with and super clingy which is great because I have clingy stamps that don't cling very well and slip while I am stamping. Not so with the Tiddly Ink's stamps. Even have to pull quite hard to get them back off the acrylic block lol
I wanted to create something other than a card for my GDT debut at Bunny Zoe's so I decided to create a little storage set with the intention of giving it to my Mother-in-law for her vanity desk.
There are 4 drawers in either side for jewellery and such.
My MIL LOVES lace and all things pink and frilly so it's perfect for her.
However, now it is actually finished and I have used my love of faeries, butterflies and pink it looks so pretty sat on my desk so not sure if I will give it away or not.
It also of course has my favourite embellies on whuch are Lace, Pearls and Flowers.
They always give just the right amount of elegance and femininity.
Knowing me i'll make a replica so we can both have one ROFL
The dies I have used in this project are all available at Bunny Zoe's and created by Marianne Designs and are Anja's Vintage Decoration LR0269, Double frame LR0141, Ribbon floral 3 LR0110 and I have also used Butterflies LR0158
I hope you like it as much as I do and thank you for looking :)
