Trick or Treat

Hello my lovelies I hope you are all well.  I'm back tonight to share with you my make for Crafty Sentiments Designs release week Day 3, albeit a little later than planned due to pesky internet problems.

So let me introduce you to this cute little dude he is 'Trick or Treat' and he's a digi so perfect for lots of different size projects.  I love it when I can resize to whatever I'm working on don't you.

I've made a milk carton treat holder with my nephew in mind.  He will love this if my daughter doesn't grab it first!!

Challenges I would like to enter:-

Cute Card Thursday    -  anything goes

Let's Craft and Create  -  anything goes (optional witchy/autumnal)

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Good morning everyone and its Wednesday so my turn to share with you my DTDF dt make.  Are you all organised for Christmas or are you like me and the panic is beginning to set in and the term 'headless chicken' comes to mind!!! Well I thought I would make little tree gifts this year and after having a little think decided to go down the milk carton route. 

So here is my dinky little fellow (its only 9 cm x 4 cm) all decorated with the gorgeous papers from Simple Stories 'December Documented' and edged with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.  I stamped a sentiment from Whimsy in Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and attached that to the front.  From start to finish it didn't take long at all so great to fit in with all of your other Christmas preparations - just another five to make now!

 

Papers:  Simple Stories 'December Documented'

Sentiment:  Whimsy 'Tis the Season Notables 5'

Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad

 

A look at the back of the box.  One of the sheets of paper is just full of these little calendar months I just cut it up and used one on the back.

 

 

 It's not very often these days that I make something that doesn't require colouring but I really enjoyed making this carton so just need to go make another five now and fill with little choccies!

 

Thank you for popping in today folks.

 

Take care,

Whimsy Stamps July Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the Whimsy Stamps July Release Blog Hop!

 

I'm incredibly nervous to be involved in my first Whimsy Stamps blog hop and feel so lucky to be able to contribute to this awesome event. 

 

Today, Whimsy has released some amazing rubber stamps and dies and these gorgeous new goodies are all available to buy now from the Whimsy Stamps store.

For those of you who are new to Whimsy Stamps, we hold a 3-day new release event each month: a Sneak Peek Blog Hop on the day before the release (yesterday), a Release Day Blog Hop on release day (today), and finally a Review Day Blog Hop (tomorrow) the day after the release.

Each blog hop has a prize of 2 new release stamps hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw!

 

For my creation I used the new Maribelle Milk Maiden by Elisabeth Bell with the sentiments Simple Sayings Notables 5 from Raindrop Echo Designs and felt it only fitting to make a couple of milk cartons and holder.  Here come the piccies:-
