August Blog Hop - Cd Cases

This is my entry for the August Blog hop from Papertrey Ink I have to say it wasn't the easiest of challenges and I had such a hectic weekend but I wanted to partici[ate so here it is.

A simple calander I stamped the CD case with the Boxes , bags and tags by Papertrey ink with white stazon and made a little holder to adhere to the front of the case to hold a monthly calenders I googled for a 2009 mothly calendar and printed off which I mounted onto black card.

I punched 2 holes through the top of the cd case with a cropodile and slotted through some white ribbon and to finish added pearls to the center of the blossoms.

Cuttlebug Christmas - Holly Branch

This was made exceptionally quick ( love it when that happens).

I added score lines to the front of the card and embossed a piece of card with the Cuttlebug Holly Branch A2 folder and carefully glused the embossed branch and added Glammer Dust I then added some red berries I layered this onto gold card stock and added a tie bow ribbon to the top of the card and vioala I was done.

In the Pink with Floral Punch Craft

As I said Yesterday, I fell in love with making the Peony Rose.

This time I used the Stylised Flowers A2 Cuttlebug folder to emboss the base card I punched out a half flower shape at the top of the card at both sides and tied a ribbon around it to finish.

Floral Punch Craft - Peony

I've fell in love with this flower, it was made by using an apple punch to create the petals then some pinching and shaping before putting them together, the leaves are made with the grape leaf punch and scoring the veins.

I embossed the base card using the Oval Nestabilities and then cut some in contrasting colours to mat and layer, using the swiss dots A2 folder by Cuttlebug I embossed the bottom of the card then stamped a sentiment by Papertrey Ink and finished by tying a matching ribbon and adding a bow
