See all of our projects each week at http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/creationsbyar/page/something-old

I decided to showcase the Grad Cap Box this week as I know many of you are preparing for the Graduation season and this could get many of you a head start.

Just think that little scroll could be a special gift like a rolled up Money or a show ticket, just to say how proud you are and well done.

I stamped the cap top in black ink and found a beaded tassel in my local haberdashery store.

Just Inklined to Hop with Spot Prizes

Oh my! an April 1st Blog hop posting, this is no April Fool!

Karen  is host this month and Say it with Flowers is the theme and that is where you should have started.

I've used A Garden Date for my image from Just Inklined 

I used the Shadow Box Frame set from Creations by AR to showcase the image

I love the framing of this image

I added the resin Poppy’s for my flowers and a couple of berries from last years Christmas crackers no less.

The image was coloured with Copic Markers

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed making this project.

Now hop over to Lori as I know she has something special ready to show you and remember to leave comments on all of the blogs as we always have spot prizes from the comments left.

below is the blog hop order just in case you get lost along the way.

Something Old Something New–Piece O’ Cake

Here I am posting posting something new that the Design Team for Creations by AR are doing each week, every week one of us will share something newly made from one of the older templates in the Creations by AR shop.

See all of our projects each week at http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/creationsbyar/page/something-old

 

I used the Piece O’ Cake set templates so easy to do that I made a whole cake.

good enough to eat.and what is fun is that each one is a box so wouldn’t it be brilliant to use them as a table setting and pop a napkin and an after dinner mint inside?

 

and from the top

This was such a fun project to make.

Papers are by Nitwit 

Creations by AR–Picnic Basket

Oh I am so so ready for the summer months, a bit of warmth to the bones and some sun on your back, what more could you want?

Picnics, that's the more you could want, when I was a little girl we had regular family picnics and this year Creations by AR have it covered for us with a new release of My Picnic Basket

Such fun to stuff with favourite treats.

its made at the bat of an eyelid, very quick to make up.

I stuffed mine with mini chocolate digestive packets but it could have been a gift box or good for your treats to get our little ones eating healthy snacks.

PRIZE:

or anything at all to celebrate Spring is in the Air and be sure to include some ribbon or twine! 

Hop over and see what the talented crew has made and enter your creation here

 

A Guiding Light

Another project from Creations by AR which would be perfect for the men in your life, young or old.

Lighthouse

Whether it is because I live near to the sea and when growing up I used to look at the lighthouse from my bedroom window and watch it’s guiding light flicker on and off, I somehow find the image of a lighthouse calming, I also lost a dear Brother to the sea so something draws me to it and I love to be beside it.

The fun thing about this Lighthouse is that the top section come off so you could hide some goodies inside it. It also holds one of those battery operated tea lights.

Such a sweet treat don’t you think?

I think a few of these eggs may have fell into my mouth during photography ha ha!

I can’t think of a better way to give an Easter treat.

It’s just the right size and doesn’t cost a fortune to fill.

Comfy Sofa 3D Project–Creations by AR

I know we all like to be prepared for special events, Fathers day is in June and normally lands right on my Father in Laws Birthday so it is always a double whammy for me that month two cards two gifts for the same man. I like to get organised as soon as possible for it and this template just ticked all the boxes for him.

Comfy Sofa from Creations by AR 

I had quite a bit of fun making this one and deciding colours and extra bits to add when finished.

The back of the chair and arm rest covers are an edged ribbon.

The cushion is also ribbon folded and padded inside with a piece of wadding.

Now I know you will all want to know where I got the miniature TV remote control and the miniature coffee mug from no?

Well I made them from polymer clay, it was a labour of love. I got a starter pack from Wholeport 

Then there is the miniature News Paper, it was a printable for a dolls house found at Jims Miniatures.

 

Now if all of that isn’t enough it even has a secret compartment for you to add a gift.

A pull out box from the front of the chair.

Add some treats inside the box and you are ready to go.
