Where has the week gone?

Crafty creations was three days ago and it only seems like yesterday that I was posting the card for the week before and now here are another set, well two really.

This week we finally finished off the Pop boxes that were started 4 weeks ago. We would never have been able to make these without the great video from Gemma Clarke .

There are others for POP up Box on YouTube but this is the one I used and credit where credit is due.

We used the Carousel Birthday Stamp Set and the matching Cupcakes and Carousel DSP and lots of Very Vanilla CS. Whilst these four ladies were working on these the other two were happily making cards they had missed out on previously. Thank goodness I had a couple of kits left over.

The box folds into the tray at the front then when you draw on the ribbon, the recipient gets a surprise as the box pops out.

The other card for the 3rd march 2017  I have also CASED from Pinterest and it belonged to  Connie Barbara and again there are several versions using the Owl Builder Punch. Some have the owl ears up some have them down both look good, depends on the manufacturer of the guitar!! Image result for guitars

Ours look pretty cool great for teenager or avid music fan. The sentiments were from Crazy about You Stamp Set and the stippled background One Wild Ride. We also colored them with Wink of Stella to get that bit of Rock sparkle.

OK that’s  it off to create this Friday’s card.

Happy Stamping

naomiconnolly

I am home safe from my Tasmania adventure and as promised here is cheeky Chocolate. She was quicker than Birthday Wishes and made with Old Olive, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate chip, Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Basic Black and Rose Red Card stock.

PJ FamilyAs you can see from my PJ photo there was plenty to keep me occupied on my short holiday.

Young Lauren, with her Tiara, was the happy recipient of Cheeky Chocolate. I am happy to say, that this little family will be moving to Queensland in September. Lots of cuddCheeky chocolateles then!

Will I have time to craft though?  Something only time will tell.

Have fun making your own Cheeky Chocolate.

Cheers Naomi.

 

Shopkin Wishes Birthday Cake

naomiconnolly

Hello from Delightful Tasmania. By now the birthday girl has received her card with squeals of delight so hope you enjoy it too. For those with young families the name Shopkin will ring a bell as they are tiny figures with their own world and movie that are collectables, and a must have for many a young girl.
Shopkin Wishes

I had as much fun creating her as did Emily receiving it!!  Her main cake was made with Melon Mambo CS which was heat set with dazzling diamonds. She really does sparkle! The hair band was cut using a circle die (R),the icing from  another die, candle flame the leaf waste on the Botanical Builders Framelits Die, the mouth a tiny waste from the Rose Garden thinlit, the eyes circle punches and white dots from the Owl Builder punch and the legs of a donkey make the eyelashes!! Love punch art…. all sorts of items become re-purposed.

 

Old Olive,Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White were the other card stock used. .The lines around the papers were drawn with a Project Life journal Pen.

Hope you enjoyed Shopkin Wishes. I will post Cheeky Chocolate next time.

Take care.

Naomi

 

 

 

Crafty Creations 18th March

Pleased to see our two new ladies enjoyed themselves enough to return this week.  Well done Ladies.

Having had a couple requests for other uses with the Envelope Board besides Envelopes and with Easter fast approaching it seemed an ideal time to make a box. There have been many examples of this bag in a box on Pinterest.com  so I won’t name names today, just a thank you to all who post there.
We used the Have A Cuppa DSP and the Friends and Flowers Bundle for the Rabbit. Bunny feet were from Flower Flair Framelits  and the small oval punch. The tail is the tiny flower in the Botanical Builders Framelits. The 1” punch worked  for the head and rear end.
 The ears were colour in Pink Pirouette and the greeting just one I happened to have.
