Hello, Inky Impressions has a new challenge

using a

Bingo Board

Inky Impressions is also showing some new release stamps as well.

I have made a Shadow box using the new release stamp 'Lili crossing legs' & I also used the new release digi 'Chair'.

Gorgeous isn't she.......

I have used foam dots on the chair as well as on Lili, so they sit out a bit.

I have coloured the sentiment sign in with red copic's.

I have used the top line on the bingo board.

Shabby chic pin cushion

Hello, I have made a shabby chic style pin cushion. 

I would have to say shabby chic would have to be my favourite style, love the romantic pretty look.

I made this pin cushion using a small recycled plastic container, fill it with hobby fill & covered it with cream fabric.

I made a bow with some pink silk ribbon (The ribbon girl), cream shabby seam binding (from live & love crafts) & some pearl string in 2 colours.

I tried them all together than added a pearl brad to the centre.

Around the top & bottom I have used a cream lace & some chocolate tulle pleat trim. 

Around the top edge of the lace I added a strip of pink & cream pearl strings.

I also made small bows to match the big one at the front, but used a flower (flowers from wild orchid) instead of a pearl brad for the centre. I have added some pearl string from each bow along the top.

I have also added some heart stick pin to the bows along the bottom.

To finish this cushion I added some small rhinestones ( rhinestones from Inky Impressions) around the centre & top on the fabric.

Very happy with the way this pin cushion looks, will be making more for sure. They would made great gifts.

All the best

Blog Hop Day 2

Hello, welcome to day 2 of Inky Impressions 'Love Spell' Blog Hop.

Prize: 

One winner will receive 2 free digis (as previously announced)

Then since we are having an extra day of the hop we will also give away 2 more digis but to TWO different people.....so there will be 3 winners in total

I have something extra special to show you today.

I have made a Exploding box with mini easel card using the new digi 'Sent with Love Girl'.

On top of the box I have made a mini easel card.
I have made some small heart tags on the side.

I have added some metal corners & 2 big red bows with pearls in the centre (pearls are from Inky Impressions).

I have also included a new release digi sentiment.

Under the lid I have included a heart for a special message.

Inside the box I have added lots of hearts on plastic strips to give a floating effect.
Each heart with ribbon is a tag.

I have made tags for special messages as well.

What it looks like when tags are out. I have plastic strips for the tags to sit under & on top of each strip is a letter which ends up spelling 'LOVE'. I coloured each letter with a red copic marker then added some red stickles on top.

One of the tags sitting under the plastic strip.

Underneath the top layer I have added more hearts, so you have more room for special messages.

The centre of the box has a heart standing up in a garden of flowers. I added a red bow & a couple of pretty pins. The centre also doubles as something extra special see below.

I have also made it to hold a ring so you could use it for a beautiful ring box as well.

The white card stock was cut to size then embossed with hearts.
This has been a lot of work over a couple of days but totally worth it.
I love making exploding boxes.

Inky Impressions Challenge

Hello, time for new a new challenge over at Inky Impressions. The challenge this week is

'Tag it'

I have made a recipe card & tags set using 'Lili's icecream' from Inky Impressions.

This recipe is for Black Cherry Jam...yum. I have made a pocket for the card & tags to sit in.

I have coloured Lili using copic marker's. The small pearls around Lili are from Inky Impressions.

I have used paper from Kaisercraft.

I have made some tags with the idea being that you can try them around the jar of jam when finished.

I have also stamp a place on the back of each tag so you can write the date.

This is what the pocket looks like when nothing is in it.

I have added a small charm to the front tag, which I got from Inky Impressions.

Don't forget to pop over to Inky Impressions & check out the new challenge & what the rest of the team have created HERE.
