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!!}

CCC #10

While checking out a new friends blog i found a link to a challenge blog that she's a DT member of.
This week the theme is MINIMAL
Now usually that's so not me but i thought i'd give it a try... i was working on a card and decided it would be the perfect candidate as whats more minimal than a card you cant really see!
I'm talking acetate.. i've wanted to try a clear card for a while as the ones i keep seeing on peeps blogs look so awesome.

I used my ever so cute TGF Deer stamp, coloured with copics and promarkers.
I cut the trees out freehand from BG paper, also making sure i did double so the back looks as good as the front..guess i should of taken a pic of that too.. note to self for next time!
The trunks are cut from a wood effect paper i had, and i put grass effect DCWV paper on the inside and back. I finished with the little sentiment "Deer Friend" also a TGF stamp which was stamped direct to the front panel in timber brown stazon ink.
I defiantly think i'll be making more of these clear cards, they rock!
Thanks for stopping by
