Stamping Vacation - When I Grow Up Challenge - Clockmakers


Hi again everyone, I am back with my Design Team card for Stamping Vacations - When I Grow Up Challenge - Clockmakers.

You have until the 3rd June to enter this challenge and to be in the running for a $25.00 gift certificate to store of the winners choice.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I had a quick look through all my collects and could not see anything related to a clock.  So, I decided that I would be the clockmaker.  :-)

I started a rectangle card cut from some Fawn Bazzill card.  I then cut the top two corners off to form the clock shape.  I cut a wavy edge on two small pieces of card and added them to the top of the clock shape.  I adorned them with these lovely purple bling flowers and a wooden heart which I covered in patterned paper.  The clock face is created with this lovely spotty Kaisercraft paper and number stickers.  I cut two a strip of wavy edged black card to create the hands for the clock and added black triangles to the ends.  I then dangled a little purple heart underneath the clock.  The sentiment I printed off the computer.

So come on over to Stamping Vacation and check out the daily challenges.   
A different challenge every day of the month.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft - 'Something beginning with 'C' - ends 9th May
My Partner in Crime - #26 Numbers ends 15th May
Simon Says - Hands ends 8th May (hands on a clock, worth a try???)
Aly's Sunday Challenge - Shaped Cards ends 8th May

Gift Bags

I made these two gift bags and filled with chocolate to go with the thank you cards I posted yesterday.  I found this wonderful mini bag tutorial on Silvey's Craftroom blog.   This bag comes together so easily and no cutting is involved.....just scoring and folding then decorating.   I have used my new Floral District Design paper from Stampin up to embellish the outside of these bags.  I didn't add any flower embellishments as I think just the papers may have been a tad on the girly side for the recipients.  The inside of the bag.  My friend Helen found on the internet at some stage these wonderful magnet clasps which are intended for real bags.  Helen kindly gave me a couple and I was keen to put them to use.  They were perfect for this bag and kept it closed tightly. I so have to work on allowing time for better photos.  These bags look so much better in real life. Well Friday has arrived although I felt like it wa...
