Window Treat Boxes

I thought I would try something different other then the everyday card.  It's not too often I lean away from cards because I love them so much, however I decided as a designer for my LSS I would step it up a notch.  (Thanks Cheri!!!)  These are Window Treat Boxes and you can find the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and it's EASY!!  It was faster then making a card!! 

For the pink Window Treat Box my supplies are: Bittersweet Basic Grey paper, Kaisercraft pearls, hearts Spellbinders (for tag on top), Petaloo Mulberry Street, EK success leaf punch, Prima flowers and a Doodlebug brad in the center of the green flower.  All my supplies were purchased from my LSS, Creative Accents.  For my red/orange Window Treat Box my supplies are Cosmo Cricket Twist & Shout line, misc ribbon and SU button and Circle Cookie Cutter dies (2 for small circles under sprockets).  I used the Creative Memories cutting system for the ovals and border scissors for the edge around the top of the boxes.  You can use punches as well. 

The tutorial doesn't have a piece of clear acetate in the window but I wanted it to keep all my jellybeans in.  I just cut a piece that fit between the front layer and my cardstock and glued it in there.  These were fun! 

RAK from my sister!

My sister doesn't get a chance to make many cards but when she does, she spits out ultimate cards.  There's no messin' around with this lady.  It just so happens that I was fortunate to get this beautiful New Year's card.  Oh I'm just LOVING it!!  Thanks buddie!!

Magnolia Winter Kit

I FINALLY got my first club kit from Magnolia Stamp Club and am happy to report that it is a great deal!!  I did order them at the end of August and only received them at end of December but oh what a surprise it was!  LOL!!  I created this card from one of the figures in the kit and as I understand, the kit figures haven't been named yet.  The heart is also a piece in the collection and I cut out the inside heart to 3d it.  I also added a clear heart, covered with Twinklets beside it.

The tree is #476 Spring Tree and has flowers instead of leaves.  It's SO cute!!  I have cut out the front of the card and the tree is on the inside.  I used Bo Bunny papers, Prima flowers and Copics to color.  I also put little gem hearts floating down from the tree. 

Week 53 Motivet Challenge

Ok so I know I'm a few hours late on this Motivet Challenge so I probably won't qualify but that's okay.  I still really liked using the sketch AND coloring this image.

 If you can't quite see it or didn't notice, the sentiment says BRRRTHDAY.  hee hee!  The inside will say "Sending you warm hugs on your brrrthday". 

I thought I would show you a closeup of the border.  I used a Magnolia stamp #482 Snowy Circle and embossed it with Hologram embossing powder.  I also put Glossy Accents on their scarfs.  They look so happy!  Thanks for looking!
