Crafty Muse Sketch and Recipie

It's Crafty Muse Fortnight Friday today and that means another challenge for you. We have a sketch combined with a recipie, so nip over there to see what they are.

I've used the sketch on top of a box I've made. The image is one of the new 'sisters and friends' download collections available later today.

Sweets

One Stop Craft Challenge have set a challenge to craft something with a hidden message. I had a think and came up with this


As you eat the sweets, the Christmas greetings will be revealed.

NOT a Card

Lou set the weekly challenge on Dottie's World this week. She said:

"It's my week this week and I fancied a change so here's the challenge;
Make something using a Charmed download but IT CAN'T BE A CARD!"

Ok, thinking cap on. Do I do a LO? No, I fancy doing something else. So, my aim was a one layer exploding box to use as a gift box. I got the layer cut and folded then decided that I didn't want to do that so I cut some more card and made a proper box.

And here it is.

I had a pre-coloured Robin Dottie (available from Charmed) that I'd printed out earlier onto photo paper, so used that. I added green glitter glue to the leaves and diamond Stickles to her tummy. I put red ribbon round the edge and secured it with a red dotty brad. Notches I cut in the side were edged with cinammon Stickles.

I'm aiming to use this (if I make more) as alternative Christmas crackers or I may just use this as a traditional gift box.

Thanks for looking.

Card Box

I finally decided what to do for my step-mum-in-law's birthday. I made this box and filled it with a mix of cards I'd made. Ellison Tootsie alphabet was used for the wording on pearlised lilac paper and the flowers are made of handmade paper. The detailing on the box is embossed and chalked in purple.

Thanks for looking. Take care until we meet again. Luv 'n' hugs as always xx
