Cuddle In Snow

i made this for sandra’s rudolph day challenge; it’s also a gift card holder, which is the theme at the jingle belles challenge. everything is coloured with distress inks and i added flower soft for the snow on the ground.

it’s 4.25″ inches square and here’s the inside with a phoney card until i get the real thing.

there’s only 6 more rudolph days! thanks for popping by.

Triangle Treat Boxes

i love making triangle treat boxes – they’re so quick and easy and perfect for any occasion! i was quite surprised to see some i made mentioned on the inky antics blog here on tuesday – look at the variety crafters made! there’s another one posted today- check out this adorable graduation treat box here. inky antics has a triangle box template stamp and clear stamp sets to match; if you need any more incentive to visit, there’s an inky antics blog hop featuring action wobbles – fun and interactive! thanks for popping by.

Bright Butterflies

everything on this card, except for the butterfly paper, is over a year old. orange is a colour i don’t use very often, but it’s growing on me; i just can’t wear it. the butterfly is coloured with distress inks and popped on the paper; i punched the corners and added a punched border with a ribbon and knot – very simple. i’m submitting this to these challenges: tuesday alchemy – beautiful butterflies, oldie but a goodie – things with wings and CAS-usual fridays – punches or dies. thanks for popping by.

Distress Ink Pad Storage

i haven’t had much time in my craft space this week as i was visiting a family member following surgery. however, i can share my new distress ink pad storage unit that i made about two weeks ago out of foam core board since my collection outgrew the container i was storing them in. i was inspired by this unit made for stampin up ink pads. thanks for popping by.

edit: i made this all by myself. lol. it only took a couple of hours.

Designed To Color Published Card

two weeks ago i mentioned designed to color – a new magazine for those of us who love to colour. i am very lucky that one of my cards was published in the april/may issue and i am now able to share the card i created for the april showers theme – i used stamps from the ‘april showers’ flourishes clear set and coloured and sponged with distress inks. thanks for popping by.

Simple Sympathy Card

i needed a sympathy card and since i usually make clean and simple ones, i simply die cut a butterfly and stamped the sentiment on the patterned paper. thanks for popping by.

Just For You

this week’s lili’s little fairies challenge is ‘your favourite craft tool’ – if you guessed my paintbrush, you’d be right; and of course i also love my distress inks and letraset aquamarkers to colour with. this is an older teddy stamp, but still one of my favourite LOTV images and he’s coloured with distress inks. i’m also submitting this to the pretty little ribbon’s blossoms and butterflies theme and the tuesday alchemy mother dear challenge. thanks for popping by.
