Candy candy and more Candy

Good Morning TGIF!!! It's been a busy week and today is no different! House work - yes the dirty word - needs doing before I can enter the craft room!

A sweet day on here today I have some candy to show you! No I haven't made candy but have made some cute gift wrapping for it. 
First of all I have a little drawer box to show you:


I made the box using pale and bright pink card. I then stamped the same bright pick with stamps from the Love Banners Set. I colored the hearts and leaves with Glittery gel pens. I then chose a green card to match in with the gel pen and matted this onto the top of the box before adding my images.
I used the pale pink and green card to make a handle for the drawer glued this in place and added gold brads for decoration. 
It is filled with chocolate hearts Yummy!

The second wrapping is a gift bag:


Isn't that Love Birds Stamp adorable??
I stamped it twice and colored with Alcohol markers and pencils. I added the Love stamp from the Love Banners Set. I then die cut 2 fancy edged pieces of red card. These were glued together at the top making a fold over top for my candy bag. I matted my colored images onto either side of the card.  I then used a tape runner to adhere the top to the bag.

Be Mine

Good morning and happy weekend!

Today's creation from the Riley and Company new release doesn't involve Riley or any of his friends. I wanted to show that you can use the new accessory stamp and die sets on any of your cards they don't need to be used with Riley and crew!


it's it sweet!

I matted my card base with coral card then printed a digital design paper that looks like 3 layers.
I stamped the balloon from the Valentine and St Patty's accessory set numerous times I added the little sentiments and smilies that come in the set to the center of the balloons and die cut them all using the fab die set. I then molded them using a ball tool on an embossing mat to give them the curved shape. I filled the back of each balloon with glue gel and added twine before arranging them on my card base.
I tied the ends of the twine together and added a bow. 
The Be Mine sentiment is from the same accessory set of stamps.

Luv u :)

Good morning are you ready for some more Riley and Company fun?

I have done a pretty card for today. Included with the dress up Riley are some great Valentine's day accessories including little sentiments that can be used on a sweetheart or balloons. I decided to mix them up with Heart Riley


So I colored him with alcohol markers and then stamped the little Luv u sentiment in the middle of his heart - isn't it sweet!

I die cut him out and whilst still in the die I inked the card to give it a pink hue.
The You Remind Me sentiment also from the new release goes perfectly with the image. This was stamped and matted onto pink card. I then made up my card base using patterned papers for layers and the same pink card for mats.
 I added a border strip of red love hearts before placing my sentiment with pop dots
