I used a fabulous Pillow Box Die and made a couple of super cute Christmas gift boxes :-)


First up is this 'Seasons Tweetings' Box. 
I used a Winter Sparrows Stamp and Die Set . I cut the Pillow Box  out of Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock and used a Tim Holtz Woodgrain Layering Stencil and Vintage Photo Distress Ink the create the background. 


Next up is this cute Winter Bunny Box.
 I used a Winter Bunny Stamp and Co-ordinating Die Set and some of my favorite paper from a Beachside 6x6 Paper Pack.

I used a gorgeous Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag Die and made this little Christmas Gift Bag


I love white and gold together, I might have mentioned that a few times already ;-) I made a simple background using a Falling Snow Stencil and some White Embossing Paste. I am in love with the Circle Loops Die, isn't it gorgeous! I cut them out of white and gold cardstock, layered them together and popped some vellum underneath.


So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Frame Card

Happy Sunday, how are you all on this fine sunshiny day? I hope all is well and hope you're having a great weekend :-D 

The lovely Heidi sent me a few products from the STAMPtember release and this gorgeous Birthday Frame Die was in the parcel, isn't it FABULOUS!! Perfect for shakers!! 


For the background I had a go at plaid stamping, although I wish I had watched one of the fabulous Laura Bassen's video's first ;-) the frame hides a multitude of sins, haha. I used a selection of the new Simon's Hybrid Ink Pads, i.e. Blue Jay, Jellybean and Scuba.

For the 'boy' die cut I coloured with the same Blue Jay ink, then gave it a good coating with a Wink Of Stella Pen before smothering with Glossy Accents. 

Of course I had to use a little kitty from the Baby Party Animals set, the critters in this set are a perfect size to go with this Birthday Frame Die 



Thanks for looking! 

I am currently staying with the owners of Simon Says Stamp, Heidi and Jason, Jax and Abby and I am having a great time :-D. Apart from crafting with Abby, making fairies and such, I am helping to kit for the CREATE event which is next weekend. Please let me know if you are coming! I would love to meet my blog buddies IRL :-)


Challenges:
Hiding In My Craft Room,     Favorite cutting tool, Big Shot
Crafty Catz    Anything Goes

Hope you all have a great week :-)
