My mother´s birthday...

Hello!

It has been really hot here in Sweden for the last 3 months. So I havn´t really been up to craft much. But this summer we celebrated my mothers 70th birthday.

So I made a card and a triangular gift box with sleeve.

For the card I used the wonderful Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP). I matted it in a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock (CS) and added them om the  White CS that I have as base for my card. On the beautiful DSP I added a piece os Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper.

On top of the DSP I cut out with Oval frames Rose Glitter Paper and then with Scalloped Oval in Petal Pink. The sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink using stamps from the stamp set Picture Perfect Birthday and is cut out with a Stitched Oval. I also added some pearls.

I saw a video by Linda Parker and used her measurements for the box. If you want to look at her video you can find it here.

Using same Petal Pink as base for my triangular box and then I used another DSP from Petal Promenade DSP-pack.

The sentiment is from is from the same set as I used on the card, Picture Perfect Birthday.  I cut it out with a 2" circle punch and then cut out some Petal Pink CS using the starburst punch.

Easter decorations....

Hello!

Things has been crazy busy here for a few weeks. I have been crafting but posting what I have done has taken way to long.  But I will try and post more often.

Today I am showing the boxes I made for the easter table. This is a box made by Dawn Griffith. We were eight people at the table so made one for each person.

I am using Pink Pirouette and in the framed windows I used Fabulous Foil Designer Acetated, I used the silver side. It has a gold and silver side. Inside it is chocolate eggs.

To decorate the box I used the Silver  Metallic-Edge Ribbon. On top I used one of  the ovals that was left after the scalloped window frame and stamped Happy Easter from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

Have a great day and thank you for visiting!

Giftbag...

Hello!

Today I am showing a gift bag I have made. I was searching the YouTube for a gift bag tutorial and found one by Angelina at Intatwynedesign. You can find here video here.

I used a leftover Christmas paper, although it doesn't look so very Christmas. It´s from the Year Of Cheer designer series paper pack in Copper and Champagne colours. I used a white ribbon for the handles.

It´s a bag you can fold flat for storage and just add a tag when you need to use it. I didn´t make a tag for mine since I am just making up a lot of bags to have in storage (and to use up my paper so I can buy new paper...).

 Hope you have a great Easter and thank you for visiting!
