TRD: gift card holder

this week using the "Christmas Gift" full size journal kit from
Tsunami Rose Designs, i created a cute little
gift card holder.

using my Sil Cameo i cut it out using the paper.
i used 1 paper for the outside, decorated the front
w/ pearl bling, flowers
and a metal embellishment and large flat back pearl 
 i had the honor of being selected to use some
of her embellishments on this week project.  :)

the inside box w/ open window was made using
a different paper from the kit. 
which is where the gift card can easily be seen.

finally i added some red ribbon, and
white fiber trim as the closure.

i think this will make a cute presentation for someone this holiday.  

thanks for stopping by.

hugs  :)

Scrap & Craft Boutique banner

i was asked a while back to make a banner 
for Lizzy Jose's (Elizabeth Santo) physical store.

she told me the colors were black, pink, and cream/white.
she also asked it to be mixed media style.



sooooo....i cut all 19 banner pieces by hand out of burlap,
then layered lace and cheesecloth (which i Glimmer Misted pink).
i then added the flowers, pearl trim, and black Chinese braid.
the letters i cut w/ my Tim Holtz Chip Block die, 
and glittered myself in black and pink.
i added the holes/eyelets, and used black
twine to string the pieces up.

this was the 2nd banner i made for her, as the 1st got lost
in the mail...  :(
hope she likes it and it goes well in her store.

thanks for stopping by..

TRD: altered gift box

here is another project i created using TRD "Witches Brew" kit.
this kit is soo much fun to work with, you just have to
have it for Halloween.


 i used a gift box for a wallet,
b/c i loved the size and sturdiness,
 and 3 sheets of the digital paper.

i painted the inside edges black.

using the papers and some ephemera from the kit,
i altered the front and the inside of the box.


front of box.


 i added lace on the corners of the top of the box,
and flared them out a little.




also added a lil pumpkin charm to the top
on the title banner.



this turned out to be the perfect lil gift box,
for a friend.
thanks for stopping by.

hugs.

TRD - Witches Brew journal kit - "fry box"

i'm having such a blast creating with the "Witches Brew journal kit" 
from Tsunami Rose Designs.


using my Sil Cameo, i cut a "fry box" out of black card stock, 
then cut it out again using papers from the kit.
i wanted to do light layering on the front, 
so i chose a busier page to cut to put on the front, 
and on the back/inside a less busy page. 



i glued all the papers on, cut a sentiment, 
added some pop dots to it, 
then added some flowers and lace.


the papers and embellishments in the kit are soo easy to cut, 
and layer b/c they all coordinate.


i will be filling it w/ goodies for someone as a gift.

these would make awesome "treat" boxes for class or a party or even work.


enjoy and happy haunting !!
