3D Design Challenge - One Sheet Box

Soooooo I finally got around to doing something - LOL

First up is this weeks challenge and secondly is my milk carton that never got posted on time!























I gotta give props to Carrie for the idea with the taffeta ribbon. She will be posting a how-to over on her blog. Extreme close up here for your viewing pleasure.























I love these milk cartons - I plan to give them to J-man's preschool teachers - filled with Purdy's of course.

Finally something new(sort of)

Before it is retired for good - I made a card from the girl scrapbook kit.

Whimsical Swap

This was my contribution tot he Whimsical Impressions swap last week. (Whimsical Impressions is my upline in Stampin Up) We have a meeting every other month and chat business and make cards ;-)

This is Tart & Tangy with the Summer Picnic DS. Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White, and the red striped grosgrain ribbon. We had a shoe box swap this time - everyone brings the paper precut and the stamps and then everyone puts the cards together on their own. Lots of fun!

Playing with Bloomin

I admit I hated this set the first time I saw it. I purchased it as I thought it was a good 'mother in law' set. Once I got it though - I have fallen in love. Just goes to prove that sometimes the best sets aren't the ones that grab us first.

Recipe :

Card stock: Close to Cocoa, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White

Ink : Black Stazon, close to cocoa, purely pomegranate(with a blender pen to colour the flower)

I sponged the edge of the card which you can't really see here.

Rub on Fun and a Man Card!

Up first - I am in love with this Beyond Grey paper! I gave myself the challenge of using only neutral card stock in these two cards - so you have black, Basic Grey and Whisper White. Grey taffeta ribbon is my other new favourite. White 'just because' and black flowers are rub on from the Sale-A-Bration mini, as is the stamp set.

























More of the same here - but the stamp set is Embrace Life, and the Canvas BG stamp

Further Inspiration from Captain Crafter

Stamp Set : Bloomin Beautiful
Card Stock : Old Olive, River Rock, Whisper White, Bashful Blue(CS and DS)
White Grosgrain Ribbon, although you can't see it - dazzling diamonds on some of the flowers






















Stamp Sets : Tart & Tangy, Birthday Whimsy
Card Stock - Real Red, Old Olive, DS Bashful Blue
Dazzling Diamonds, Red striped grosgrain ribbon and rub ons from Occasions mini.
