Truffle Basket with PMS Tags.

Yay it is day 2 of the Sneak Peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps; I am super excited about this release because it is just perfect for the holidays! All of the release will be available in both digital and rubber form. I have a bunch of pictures to share so I will keep the chat to a minimum (will try at least!).

I have made 4 of these super bright and fun little baskets that house a baggie full of truffles dusted with cocoa powder. I had never tried truffles like this before; and they are yummy!

Here is a top view; I have placed the baggie inside a doily filled with kraft paper shavings.

Here are closer views of the tags; they were easy to do and I really love how easily you can flip an image over and make it double sided. On one side of the tag I have used Happy Holidays from Me to You! sentiment; and on the other, the To:, From:, and the cute little mistletoe. I have given the berries some sparkle with cinnamon stickles. I know I will be using these tags a whole lot more this year. They are called  "Color It Winter Tags Set" and will be available at PMS on November 7th!

 

Before I go would like to let remind you that we will be having a party on the 7th. It is a release party(when the stamps go on sale) but you can chat with all of us and Katie(owner of PMS) plus you will have the chance to win some RUBBA! Gotta love that.

The Art of Living

Today I will be sharing my creation to meet two of my DT obligations. First of all it is Tuesday which means it is a new challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday; which is......Easel or Box Easel Card. Plus this week we are celebrating TTT turning ONE; so there is a whole lot of prizes to be won(about £200 worth)!

Today is also the last day of Sneak Peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps and tomorrow is the HOP and Release!  I really enjoyed making this creation and you can see an easy to follow tutorial HERE on how to make this box.

This word art is from PMS and I truly like it, Love the meaning and the bold ART word and even that little swirl...oh so cute! I have made it my focal point and feels that it gives that WOW effect on it's own. 

 Here is a straight on view of the card portion of this Box.

My Tip for this week is: Use your imperfect stamping to make a flower; here I have used one that I stamped and it smeared. So I simply inked up the edges and added a pearl in the center. Goes perfectly!

The pin I made myself and that big button easel stopper is actually an old earring:0) and it sits o top of a black velvet flower.

I would like to enter this project in the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - (August) Easel Card

Craft Your Passion - Flowers
Incy Wincy Designs - Make Your Own Flowers

Baby Boris Sneak Peek

Day 2 of the Paper Makeup Stamps sneaks....It is Baby Day and I get to share this cute little monster! I am following the sketch from Paper Sundaes and have decided to keep it very simple and just did a bunch of stitching. I love the sentiment that I have used it is an older one and it says "A child enters your life and fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty" LOVE it! It is a bit hard to see since I have stamped it directly on my DP but I have tried to make it stand out more by adding distressed ink right under it. Tried is the key word! I think it gives it a grungy feel to it; not sure I like it too much especially with how crisp my image is colored.

 Here is a closeup of Baby Boris he will be available for sale on the 7th at our release party. I have colored him with my Copics and have tried to keep more white space; and I do like how he looks.

Before I go  here are a few details you need to know about our release....

Here is my card using "Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted" this sentiment is part of the Be Still sentiment set that will be available on the 7th at Paper Makeup Stamps. I kept my card fairly simple since I really did want this sentiment to stand out; truly think it worked : ) My papers are from PTI and my great flower made using tattered flowers die TH.

I have used  Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 55; and will be entering this card in their challenge. Also entering it in DDH Challenge - 2W - Handmade Flowers
