Magazines and Gift Boxes xx

Afternoon you lovely lot

Hope this finds you all well?
Did you survive the hour less in bed today?? Or you still like me and walking about like a Zombie today? I could possibly still be getting over a fab Saturday Wedding Dress shopping for my future Sister in Law and all the family! Lunch and cocktails was a must!!

Now have any of you see the Simply Cards and Papercraft 175 Magazine yet


little me was lucky enough to make some fab Gift Box ideas for this. I really loved making these and getting to try a few ideas I've wanted to do for a while! There's even a few tutorials for you all to try them for yourself

Here's a peek


What one do your like?? I adore the Bottle Gift Box, just perfect to brighten up that Wine gift for a friend or family


I decorated mine with die-cuts but you could use stamps or anything form your crafty stash!

My other favourite was the Drawer Box! Using the same colour theme with Kraft card and colouring up the Bouquet Girl from Time for Tea Designs!



Shes perfect for this wee Gift Box as she suits any important Celebration not just Birthdays! I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noirs and the papers through all the pieces are Pebbles Heart of Home

Hope you pick up your copy of the magazine or get it here and you'll find more amazing craft projects and plenty to inspire you!

Have a great Sunday and week to come

Fairy Toadstool xx

Happy Monday lovelies

Hope you are all well and had a fab weekend? All ready to start the new week?

Its been a busy few weeks here with work and then the snow! How did you lot get on with it?? We were snowed in for a few days but it gave us the chance to start our bedroom make over and catch up with work! The only good thing with the snow we didn't have to worry about there being no milk with me having an allergy, there was plenty soya milk on the shelf hehehe


Now today I wanted to share with you a fab shaped card


I created the large Toadstool from A3 cardstock then added pattern paper to make the detailed parts, added green scrap card for grass and the Mulberry flowers to nestle my little Fairy amongst



You can find the fab wee Time For Tea Designs digi stamp here




Before I head off I have to let you all know about the Design Team Call that we have going on over at Time For Tea Designs



If your interested you can find all the details you need here

That's me for today, hope you like my wee Toadstool as much as I loved making her
Take care and until next time
