Have a Heart

I just love pretty things, as do most girls, little boxes and trinkets, there's nothing nicer than opening a pretty box and finding a special treat inside it.

Heart Box1

It could contain a tasty treat or a piece of jewellery maybe filled to the brim with love hearts for Valentines day either way it will thrill who ever receives it.

Heart Box2

How about an Easter basket? perfect to fill with small treats for children or maybe some paste eggs for a healthier treat.

This is going to be a 3D template CD that you reach for time and time again.

Crafting with Jack

We have had the privilege of having our Grandson Jack stay with us this weekend, although he has chattered so much that he has our ears bleeding it has been a pleasure.

Jack loves to get involved, he likes to work alongside his Granda and he calls him his building buddy (so funny).

The other side to Jack is that he loves to craft with me. I showed a card that he recently coloured and made here which was his first handmade card.

Today we decided to make 3 Christmas cards for his teachers and we decided on winter wellington boots.

Here he is showing just how very clever he is with his finished cards.

And a close up of all of them too.

He loved the snowflake background paper for this one and he also loved the glittery pom-poms, he added glitter glue and stuck everything down onto the card, I helped with the cutting out and the ribbon bows.

Jack Craft3

This one he loved the colours and the addition of the bells that jingle jangle, he even coloured the sole of the boots.

Jack Craft2

This one he loved the Christmas trees and added a line of glitter down each tree and tied the bell onto the green sparkly cord and added the big pom-pom border.

Jack Craft4

I have a feeling that he will be so proud to give his teachers cards that he made himself.

Stand and Deliver Sneak Preview

I’m still sharing sneak peeks with you all from the amazing new 3D template CD

CD CASE MOCK UP

This next template had me singing Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant all through making it.

Perfect for little boys, the Castle (fort) pointed roof is a gift box and comes out of the main castle construction and can be filled with sweet treats or even a little toy. The carriage can also be filled with something special.

Of course this can also be a Fairy-tale Castle and Carriage for the girls or maybe a wedding gift.

Just Inklined to Blog Hop–Favourite Colour Combo

Today is blog hop day and our super talented Design Team have some amazing projects to show you.

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

This months theme is "Christmas" hosted by Joyce  which is where the blog hop starts.

You should have landed on my blog from Tangii and its her Birthday.

I’ve used Poinsettia Corner Ribbon for my card and you can buy it from Just Inklined

Teals and White is my favourite combo.

Poinsettia_corner_ribbon1

I used the Silhouette Portrait machine to create a pine branch matt for my image, I used Graph’ It Markers to colour my image which I had printed out twice and Pan Pastels for the edging both available at Polka Doodles so that I could add and extra layer to the Poinsettia flower.

Backing papers are from Stampin Up, Pearls and ribbon slide from Mei Flower

I finished with a little glitter glue to make it all pop.

Next up on the hop is Lori who always amazes me with her beautiful creations.
