Pineapples

Dear Crafters,

With this slightly warmer weather starting to appear in Melbourne, we are getting back into eating some yummy fruits, including the pineapple!

So today’s card is all about pineapples, but it is created with my favourite Christmas Pines Bundle!

My 7 year old saw this stamp set and instead of thinking of pine cones, she suggested I make some pineapples. What a great idea!

Then I happened to be browsing Pinterest (as you do lol) and I came across a card with this idea and I had to make it straight away. It was by a lady called Kim Jolley, from Missouri and you can see her card here.

How cool is the background? I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp, inked it up and then spritzed it before stamping!

I was super happy with the outcome. What do you think of this card?

Card in a Box

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card in a box (sometimes known as explosion box card) which I was asked to make for a work colleague to give to a family friend for an 80th birthday!

It’s been a while since I have made one of these, but I do love them and I enjoyed making this one. I had to refer to my Free Tutorial for the measurements, it’s been so long!!!!

The brief was that she is a crafty person, who enjoys sewing. Well, I didn’t have anything along those lines, but what lady doesn’t love flowers and butterflies, right?!!!!
