More Recycling

 

More recycling of brown paper today - this time using the fabulous Spiral Flower die. I sponged the edges of the flower with some Melon Mambo ink and added some Smoky Slate chevron ribbon, an antique brad and a stamp from the Postage Due set. I hope you like it!

Crafty Stuff

Evening! Here is my creation for the challenge at http://sundaystamps.blogspot.co.uk.

 

The base is SU Baked Brown Sugar with Naturals Ivory card and Summer Starfruit DSP. The stamps are from the Mixed Bunch set, using Baked Brown Sugar and Summer Starfruit ink. I've also used the Congratulations stamp from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. I love this combination of colours. My photo really doesn't do it justice at all! It reminds me of the curried butternut squash and lentil soup I made today - I think that's probably where the inspiration came from!

I had a lovely time at the training day with Monica and Fanny yesterday. Here are the swaps I made - some tiny boxes made from Winter Frost DSP that I was able to quickly put together on Monday. I put a fridge magnet in each one. It was such a nice day with great company! I was totally exhausted afterwards and could only just about manage to flick between the England match and Holby City...

Have a lovely evening! April x

Spring boxes

I made a couple of things today. The nail varnish holder is based on a tutorial by Holly Krautkremer, but I used a label framelit to cut the handle, rather than the decorative label punch that she suggests. I used So Saffron and Very Vanilla cardstock. The little tag, the embellishment and button at the front, and the baker's twine are all from the Boutique Boxes in the Stampin' Up Spring catalogue.  The gift box is also from that fabulous kit, with some Pretty in Pink stitched grosgrain ribbon and a rose embellishment that I have coloured using an inkpad. I hope you like them!
