It's Raining Sweets!

I wanted to have an ickle break from cards so decided to make a little treat bag instead. I had the idea a few weeks ago when one of the challenges was to use acetate, i never quite made that one, but seeing as Stamp Scrap & Doodle has the theme this week 'anything but a card' it was the perfect excuse to finish it off. This also fits in with Papertake Weekly with their theme 'Spots n Stripes'

I created the box without any instructions, just had a little play and this is what i came up with. The lid is held on with the ribbon that you see, It loops on 2 sides and then ties underneath. I used my 'Rainy day' Mabel stamp available @ The Artist Stamper.

I coloured her with copics, the cut and mounted her to the outside of the box which is actually a hanging piece.
The 'friend' you can see in the back is part of another stamp from the mabel range.

I filled with yummy dolly mixtures as a nice little treat for someone!
Now its just a case of deciding who gets that treat!

{and before anyone mentions it.. yeah i've just seen i put the wrong month on my photos lol.. dozey mare i am. but tecnically i did make it in oct {just!!}

Secret Crafter #38

Wow that's yet another week that's just flown past without a trace!!
But on the plus side it mean its another Secret Crafter challenge
and this weeks theme is
Pretty Packaging
A bonus for me as i was just in need of some gift boxes.
A friend showed me a great tutorial for a mini pizza box, i instantly knew i'd love making this and set to work....if you want instructions click here

I decorated the top using cuttlebug embossed card, some prima flowers, ribbon and gems and the fab new "shine" miss Anya which i coloured with copics and atyou spicas.

I had so much fun making the first box, i though i'd make another but slightly smaller, i also found another great tutorial for a Box in a Bag {instructions here}

I think i may just be making a few more of these over the next few weeks!!
