Boxes galore!

What a fabulous week.  I received the most gorgeous gift in the post from my fabulous friend Archi, she's told me she was sending a little something.  Little!!  It's huge and a totally perfect gift.  It's a beautifully decorated box filled with 8 individually wrapped Green & Blacks chocolate bars, each with it's own little gift tag.  If you could pack love in a parcel it would look just this.  Thank you Archi, you have made my day.

Don't they look like beautiful books when they're stacked like this.

So of course I had to make some cupcakes!!  This is the last one as they were demolished in the office!

 I also got an honourable mention over at  Papercraft Star for my vintage inspired card.  Thank you xxx


Just a quick crafting post from me today as I'm off to the ballet to see The Sleeping Beauty by Scottish Ballet in Newcastle and even better the lovely Louisa is coming with me.  I told you I was having a good week.


So an eCraft plus some files from SVGcuts is just a dream recipe for making boxes.  Especially as these files were a freebie back in December (thank you Mary & Leo).  These boxes are made in one cut, so basically they take minutes to make.  The texture on the card comes from using Core Impressions that is already pre-embossed.  

I was inspired by challenges at:

Just Us Girls - 3D valentine's day

Allsorts challenge - one or more heart
Anything Goes Challenge - to the one I love

How cute is that flower?

Supplies used:

SVG files - one-piece boxes from SVGcuts.com, ramblin' rose from mytimemadeeasy.com

Card - Core'dinations Core Impressions My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Collection

Ribbon - satin ribbon darks pack

Thanks for popping by

Love ya

Even Spookier!

So with all the Halloween treats that I've made I needed something to pop them in to.  So with the help of my eCraft machine and some files from SVGcuts.com I decided to have a go and make a cauldron.  I love what you can make from card:

So to get this you just

Cut some pieces of card

A little bit of embossing with my trusty Big Shot (I think I might need to treat myself to some new cutting plates!)

Loving this new Darice cobweb embossing folder

And of course I wouldn't be without by Sand It Gadget or my Dust Buddy

So what does it make?  This fabulous cauldron, that's sturdy enough to stuff (and I mean stuff) full of all your Halloween treats.

I just love it.

Here's the full ensemble.  As you can see I got a little carried away and made chocolate bar wrappers, sweet bag toppers and even a little cobwebby lamp to go with my triangle treats from yesterday and the cobweb cauldron.

Now all we have to do it hope all the chocolate and sweets don't get nibbled before Monday night!

Supplies used

eCraft SD cards - Jen Allyson celebrates, year of celebrations

SVG files - cauldon and chocolate bar wrappers, party on Elm Street (SVGcuts.com), lapm and pyramid boxes (Lettering Delights)

Card - Core'dinations, including Black Magic

Sparkle - Spray & Sparkle iridescent


I'm popping this into the challenge over at:
Sir Stampalot - Food Glorious Food
Charisma Cardz - anything goes

So if that's Halloween done, I'd better get working on Christmas!

Love Ginger
