Kathy's Birthday Gifts 2011
I made these gifts and card for my work colleague, Kathy, whose birthday was last month.
She has loved my jewelery before so I made her a matching earring and necklace set. I first punched out circles of Elegant Soiree DSP and adhered them to Tim Holtz Faceted Charms using Crystal Effects, then used Crystal Effects again to seal in the paper. The necklace "chain" was Baja Breeze Seam Binding ribbon which is so lovely. I put the jewelery inside a Pillow Box which I made out of Vellum Card and embossed with the Elegant Flowers Embossing Folder, the embossing was inked using an Aqua Painter and I just had to add some more of that gorgeous ribbon to finish it!
The card used some more of the DSP, together with a Four Frames panel (sorry I just can't not use that set!!)
The last gift was a MINI Milk Carton filled with mini eggs as no birthday should be without chocolate!
Kathy loved them, just as much as I loved creatingthem.
Take care,
Kathy. x

Beautiful Butterflies Workshop
My ladies will be making these projects this week, plus another but I haven't decided what that will be yet!!
The card shows just how lovely the Elegant Flowers embossing folder is, I've only added a few Beautiful Wings embosslet butterflies and coloured in the flower centres. The Four Frames has come out again, I just can't leave it alone!
The box was made from the Scallop Envelope die, cut 4 envelopes and use Sticky Strip to stick them all together. There's a tutorial on You Tube here for a similar one, which is where I got the idea from. I've used some of the gorgeous Springtime Vintage DSP for the flaps for added interest and finished off with some more butterflies.
The box holds a nice soft flannel and 2 bathing roses which smell devine, and I added some acetate to the top to protect the contents.
I hope my ladies enjoy making these items, now I've just got to figure out what else for them to make!
Thanks for looking,
Kathy. x
P.S. I've now decided what the third project will be, but will hopefully post it tomorrow as I can't find the camera!
