For Someone Special ~ Just Magnolia Challenge

Happy Tuesday! Today I have a gift set to show you that I made for a dear blogging friend of mine. I am hoping that she will soon receive it :)

The Just Magnolia’s monthly challenge is to create a card for someone special so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to show you this.

It is a match-box card. The ribbon unties to open the card and it is adhered to the top of 4 match-boxes. Each little drawer is filled with embellies for my friend!

I also made this matching post-it holder using my bind-it-all to create the binding wires:

• Stamps: Magnolia So Jolly Collection 2009 – Tilda with Christmas Tree & Tilda with Vintage Roses, Christmas tree from 2008 Winter collection
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Wild Wasabi for distressing
• Paper: SU! Evergreen, Whisper White, Magnolia DP
• Coloring: Copic Markers, Copic Airbrushing
• Embellies: Dollar store Gem brads, Stickles, Liquid Applique, Papertrey ribbon

Just wanted to let you know that these two Tilda images as well as the patterned paper can be purchased at The Stamp Shoppe. I checked last night and Heidi still have a few of each images. Hurry though, she doesn’t have many! Just click on the links above and it will take you right to them!

Hope you liked seeing my little gift and I am really hoping my sweet friend is happy when she sees them!

 

Four-Drawer Box ~ Friday Sketchers # 70

Happy Friday Everyone! It has been such a busy week for me and I didn’t get to spend very much time in my craft room at all! I hope next week will be more relaxing. LOL!

Today I am showing you what I created for this week’s Friday Sketchers Challenge. My friend Jacque has created a wonderful sketch for us all to play with. Thanks sweetie. I am definitely going to be using this one many more times! We are being sponsored by Digital Stamp Oasis who are offering the sweetest little digital stamps to one of our lucky participants. I think I might have to buy some of these images myself! Just click on the picture below and it will take you there! I know, I know, I am such an enabler.

This week I came across Kirsten’s blog and she had made the loveliest little box with four little drawers.  She also had a really well-done tutorial to go along. I just had to give it a go and although mine is not as gorgeous as hers, I really love how it turned out!   I think I am going to make more of these for sure!

• Stamps: Whiff of Joy – Fall Willow Holding  Corn  Basket
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper: SU Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Whisper White, I’m not sure where the DP is from
• Coloring: Copic Markers
• Embellies: May Arts Silk Ribbon, Flower from Dollar store, Leaves made with SU Die

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to drop by the FS blog to see what my wonderful DT sisters have made. They are just amazing!
