Chocolate Box Cards


Hi all, another day......I wonder what it will bring.
Well I have some chocolate box cards to share with you today.  You can find the instructions to these cards here at Craftmad.  I have adjusted theses so that it is a card on the side rather than the tag.

This card I made to sell on my stall at the markets.  I love the idea of a card and present all in one.
I started with Stampin Up Very Vanilla card then used Blue Edge Combo papers.  Aren't those thongs so cute.  Next I coloured up this fun image from Dawn Moore (Going Swimming) which I think suits the papers so well.  I coloured her with my Copic pens.  Finished with a Happy Birthday sticker and a row of bling.

I would like to enter into the following challenges:

Daisy Doodles #18 Anything Goes ends 5th September
Hooked on Crafts #6 Things with Wings ends 4th September


I made this Chocolate Card box especially for a friend who has just recently had a hysterectomy and had suffered a couple of set backs after the operation.  However, now she is one the road to recovery and so looking forward to getting out of the house.

This card I started with Stampin Up River Rock and then topped with Blue Edge Combo papers from the Rosewillow design.  I used this wonderful image from Cardmadfairy.  I think it is one of my favourites to colour. I used my Copic pens.  Then finished with a sticker sentiment and flowers.

Wedding Card

A friend asked me to create a card for her godson's wedding.  I was inspired by a card I found in my Google search and sadly I did not keep the link to put on here.  If this is a card like yours please let me know.  I layered white on white, the top layer I added a square embossed border.  Then came the fun bit of punching out all these tiny flowers.  I then glued them to a heart shape piece of card stock, next I attached all the bling.  I added the silver ribbon and used a sticker sentiment with the silver glitter paper punched hearts.  I really love the end result. So much sparkle.  Although at the end I suddenly remembered it was her godSON's wedding and thought this may a bit too girly but thankfully she loved it.  Edit: attaching the flowers was not as fiddly or take as long as I thought.  I think attaching the the gems was trickiest, making sure they were in the centre.  Then a couple fell off when I first picked it ...

Sewing Today

My 13yo daughter got the bug for sewing on Monday. We dusted off the machine....cardmaking has taken over my sewing table. I grabbed out some small pieces of material from my stocks and Melissa started sewing. I will post photos later today of two pillows and a pair of overalls for her toy monkey. Then while we were out shopping later on Monday we stopped off at Spolight and picked up a skirt pattern (Burda 7910) and some material. This is the first ever sewing project Melissa has done from wo to go. In the past she has created clothes for her dolls, pencil case, or small pillows. Melissa enjoyed the experience except for cutting out the pattern. I am with her on that. I would much rather just sit down and sew. I did do the mock shirring around the top edge of the skirt....something I have never done before but wasn't too hard. When all the sewing was done Melissa wore the skirt for the rest of the afternoon.....thats a good sign that we did well. :-) A little story. While making ...
