 My take on the ever popular...

Card-in-a-Box

 Found the instructions on Splitcoast Stampers and I've copy the link for you here. It was originally from Monica Gale who is one of those really inventive crafters.

 The box is made from a sheet of A4 ivory hammered card, the side panels are then covered with matted and layered pieces of fuchsia pink and some patterned paper. The stamped images are matted and layered and come from Bee Crafty's Wordage range (not sure if the Best Wishes has made it onto the web yet as it's from a new set just coming out) but the Sunshine and Freedom one is and comes in 2 sizes.

Incredibly easy to do as after one follow of the instructions I was off making different sizes without even looking at them.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you 

really do give it a go...

Happy Crafting 

I'm back.....yayyyy

Well hello and Happy New Year

Who on earth would have thought it would have taken me this long to find my way back here...

So it's been a very very long time and an awful lot has happened but I think the best thing is just to get on with it as if I'd never disappeared.

So here is my first make of the year, well the first I've sat and made specifically for pleasure. Brought on by the fact we are snowed in and cant get to the shop so I thought I would get on and make a project to kick start my blog again...

Love these new stamps designed and made by Beverley Tonks at Bee Crafty. The little girl image is from the new 'Abi Grace' range and the round sentiment is from the new 'Love and Romance' range.

Also used were Promarkers for colouring, Spellbinders and Cheery Lyn dies and Bee Crafty Blooms...

Had fun doing this, especially when I found my distresser tool...

had a good ole scratch all round the first layer of paper
