Wedding Gift/Candy Boxes

2011-07-06T22:02:00.000-07:00

These are candy or gift box....I used vellum for the cover. For added touch I used my brass stencils and emboss my initials with some swirls around it and then added half pearls....
I used reg. 12 x 12 stock card to make the box and then cover each side with white leather which gave it a real leather chair feel....the heart is cut out using bronze card stock which has a shimmer to it.....the ribbon is 5/8 white satin trim with silver...and a feather ....The total measurement is 2 x5 which is a prefect size to sit beside a place settings.....

Here you can see the top off and I've filled the box with wintergreen mints... The white leather card stock is my favorite....it really does feel and look just like leather.....and the vellum is so easy to work with....this was my first time using it and I love....If you have that special project and you want the best...than this card stock is what you need......and don't forget to check the ribbons....they are gorgeous....

Pay It Forward

2011-05-26T18:50:00.000-07:00

Amy over at Love To Crop posted this wonderful "Pay It Forward" post on her blog ... I think it's a WONDERFUL idea and I couldn't wait to participate and pass it on!!

"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.

"I promise to send an original creation to the (1st) 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this on there blog, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Here's what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who comment.
2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.
3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 people who comment.
4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.
Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!

**If you are one of the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post, PLEASE email me your mailing address (gw0109@gmail.com)... It will also be helpful if you put "PAY IT FORWARD" in the subject line. Thanks so much!! I'm excited to Pay It Forward!! :)

I hope you will play...

A Piece of Cake Anyone! For Paper Temptress DT

gloria posted this in Bags and Boxes, Designer greeting cards on May 12th, 2011

Hello, I’m Gloria Westerman. I’m married to my best friend Charlie for 7 years ….and we live with 3 dogs, and together we have 5 children and 8 Grandchildren in West Tennessee…I’ve been crafting for over 40 yrs…between sewing, knitting, quilting, needlework then paper…. I especially love to make mini albums…..
I am so excited and proud to be a part of the design team……with their beautiful creations and such inspiration….
This cardstock is unbelievable…..pictures do not captured the texture and the richness feel of these papers….not to mention the colors are so vivid true…..it will make any creations a masterpiece……I promise…..
I have put together a little tutorial for those that have not made a cake box…There are several places to get a cake box template …but I used my Cricut and the cartridge is Tags, Bags, Boxed, & more…..Row 5, image 5 cut at 8.50….following the guides I score all lines and applied tape…..I made my base with “Cryogen White“…. You can see some of the sparkles this paper has…truly remarkable…..
Next are all the pieces….

The flowers were also made with Cryogen White. The top of cake and leaves are made with “Light Green BASIS” and the crust is “Bronze Mica/Metallic” you can see it shine here. I ink the leaves with TH distress-walnut stain…..also for the top I used spots and dots CB folder…
The ribbon is from PaperTemptress…..5/8 Black and White Stripes grosgrain ribbon…. I love this ribbon…..so easy to work with….
Here’s the finish piece,

I hope this has inspire you to try this and to also try any of these beautiful sheets of cardstock……they are so worth it!!!!!!!!! Just pick up a few of them and you will see how wonderful they are to work with and to see how they make your project look so professional…….try it and see for yourself……
