In case you can't work it out, it is supposed to be a chest of drawers. The bottom was cut out with the top note die and then I just put blocks of card on top with dimensionals and scattered the items over the three drawers. The drawer handles were punched out with the small scallop in the trio punch and a brad was put through the centre.
And a close up of the flower panel with the buttons ...
I would love to hear what you think of it.
I don't normally make cards this shape, but it worked well for this design. The colours were also ones that I would not think of putting together, basic gray, old olive and really rust. We got the combo from the colour coach (one of my favourite tools). It's good to challenge yourself every now and then.
I hope you are having a great week.
Keep on creating.

It uses one of the new in-colours wisteria wonder and also the parlor prints background stamp.
The style is a bit different from the cards I normally make, but I was really happy with how it turned out.
Keep on creating.

I started off by placing small stars all over the base and then mounted the letters on top with dimensionals.
It was another of the cards that I made at the weekend away. The plane is out of the new hostess stamp set Ain't Love Grand. It has a banner on it, but I decided to go one bigger and make a large banner with all three planes towing it.
I used melon mambo which I admit I have hardly used. It is a really bright colour and with the white, seems even brighter. I used the embosslits butterfly die for the Big Shot and some melon mambo buttons. A bit of bling and it was all finished.
I stamped the background vanilla piece of card all over with the dotty stamp from extreme elements and used the music roller wheel for the background behind the guitars. If you have any questions about this card, drop me an email and I will gladly fill you in.
Here is a side view...
This is the box I made for the present. It is made with the mini milk carton die.
I was really pleased with how they turned out and I know Sandrá loved them.
There are only 30 days left of the existing Idea Book & Catalogue, so that means it is time to say goodbye to hundreds of products. To view a copy of the retirement list click here.
She too used an orange base, and one of the new stamp sets we received at convention. It is a fabulous set which has some really awesome stamps in it.
In case any of you didn't already know, my favourite colour is orange. I know that's kind of strange since I was a 70s baby and my bedroom when I was a kid was orange and white, but over the past 10 years it has become my all-time favourite colour. It is such a happy vibrant colour.
I used the Growing Green stamp set, and managed to whip this card up in half an hour. It came together exactly how I had imagined it, and believe me that doesn't happen too often.
