So onto my project I am bring you a present I made a friend for her birthday last month.

The box is from a local shop which had some lovely white flowers stamped on but the box was a very vivid blue colour so i used some watered down paint to mute the colour. I have used a Cherrylyn Flourish, flowers from wild orchid and ribbon and lace from stash. The centre of the box has a small photo section which I stamped a heart  with a little sentiment and framed it with a Marrianne Heart. 

I hope you like as much as my friend as i saw a nice picture of her new craft room and spyed my little box.

So now it is down to you lets see what you are making this week and you never know by sharing you might be one of our winners.

Thanks for popping by and have a wonderful weekend

Day 2 Sneak Peep of Crafty Sentiments New Release

Good Morning I am here today with day 2 of the Sneak Peeps for the new release at Crafty Sentiments. All stamps will be released in the shop tomorrow. This has been a secret release so other than this stamp I hadnt seen any of them. I know you will be as keen as myself to see them all. So before you hop over to the blog to check them all out let me share with you mine.

Christmas Seasons July New Stamp Release- Christmas Wreath

 and a close up of this cute stamp

Ingredients to make a Christmas Wreath

Christmas Seasons Stamp, Promarkers, Modpodge sparkle, Wide Christmas Ribbon, Chipboard Wreath, String, Co ordinations Card in 2 colours, Glitter Card, Pearls, Spellbinder Layered Poinsettia Die, Marianne Designs Creatables CR1253 &LR024 fern punch

Method

First I coloured my image with my promarkers then gave alight coat of Modge Podge to seal and protect

Take chipboard wreath and wrap string around to give a base. Making a Loop at the top to hang

Die cut the 3 Large Flowers & 2 Flowers assemble and glue together with a pearl centre

Cut plenty of the foliage and glitter punched fern

Layer the foliage and glue down I used pva glue

Tie a double bow and glue with a hot glue gun

Arrange your flowers and add the glitter fern among them

Cut your image out just slightly smaller than the original size of the wreath making sure that your image is centred so it shows in the opening

When the arrangement is set turn over and add plenty of glue to the backside

Place your image down and glue in place. You can add another circle behind the image the size of the wreath to protect and give the centre strength. Wait for the glue to dry and then display your finished project.

Well hope you like and I was really pleased with the result and must say it is something I dont ususally do more a card person but enjoyed doing. I hope that the instructions are clear enough for you to try it really didnt take me very long. Might be doing a few for the teachers this year.

Thanks for popping by and please do checkout the rest of the new stamps as I am about to do.

Have a great day
