A Few Cards...

A few cards I made over the last few days...

Sweet Handmade Package...

Today I mailed off this sweet package I handmade. I made the bottom of the box out of chipboard. I painted the outside with white acrylic paint to look shabby and adhered a piece of the paper, also used for the lid, to the bottom inside. The top, lid, I made out of kraft styled scrapbook paper and scalloped the edges. I tied it up with a strip of ripped, frayed polka dot fabric, a tag with a handmade ribbon rose and one of my decorated cupcake clothespins. Inside I enclosed half a dozen of my decorated clothespins for submission to a magazine I LOVE, Somerset Life! We'll see what happens from here :)

Orange...

I made this card out of summery oranges and pinks. I made the ribbon roses via a tutorial I found on Pinterest. I also gathered the ribbon that along the left side of the card.

Purple...

Purple, ummm not a favorite color of mine. If you look in my scrap room you find only a trace of purple. I am a huge fan of PINK! I love pink! But anyway, I made this card purple :)

Shabby Cards...

A couple of shabby cards I made today:)

A few shabby cards I made this weekend. Mother's Day is almost here:)

 

My Altered Book...

This is an altered book I made several years ago. I just thought I would share it with you today:)

Coffe Filter Ice Cream Cones...

I whipped this out in less than half an hour. Really easy and really cute:)

Two pink dyed coffee filters
Styrofoam ball to fit inside
Paper cone
Ribbon
Piece of wire for top hanger

Make paper cone (mine is a little larger than half a 5" circle). Sew filters together and gather up leaving room for the cone and ball. Glue cone to ball and then glue them to the inside of the filters. Attach a ribbon/bow to the top with a wire loop inserted and glued to the center of the top of ice cream. All done!

Coffee Filter Bunny Basket...

Here's a bunny basket I made using three different colors of coffee filters. I added a cute shabby bunny banner.

More Sprinkles...

These little softies were a lot of fun to make. I couldn't just make one (hee hee). I used some of my very colorful buttons on them, some crochet roses my Mom made for me and miscellaneous trims. The ears are cut from felt mostly in the shape of hearts. There are also tiny hearts sewn to the top left sides of their smiles. My inspiration came from a pin on Pinterest manifattive.blogspot.co.nz.
