Luminara

Have been mucking around today trying my hand at something different.  I saw one of these on Paula's blog last year so thought I would give it a go today.

Am quite happy with the way it has come together but am sure I can fine tune it a bit more.  Something to sit on the mantle or shelf at christmas and very safe as the "candle" is battery operated.

Stepper Box

The other day I decided that I would make a stepper box.  It is called that because when it is open it has the cute little boxes that are like steps.

I have used Pumpkin Pie DSP from the Brights Collection Paper Patterns  Stacks to cover the cardboard I used to make the box with Pumpkin Pie card stock for the lid.  The flower has been made with Pumpkin Pie card stock punched using the scallop circle punch, then faux sueded and scrunched up then put together with an Ice Circle Rhinestone brad. I have then attached to the lid with some leaves using the two step bird punch.

                                                 

I made the little stepper boxes out of the Designer Series Paper Pack which is available as a Level 1 Hostess gift in the current catalogue.  Finished the lid with Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and another ice circle rhinestone brad.

More Pink for a Baby Girl

The other day I posted a card I had made for a baby shower I am going to.  Today I am showing you the present I have to go along with the card.

This box is called a Gable Box and I have cased this from Paula Dobson who recently taught us how to make this in one of her classes.  I thought it would be ideal to put a few things for the new baby in.

Card stock: Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla
Inks:  Blushing Bride, Pixie Pink(retired), Regal Rose Marker
Stamps: So Swirly wheel, Baby Bundle
