Candy Card

Shadow box card.....simple and easy to make.....the size of the card is 5 1/2 inch square. I used double sided card to make this shadow box.

The most fun part is to create the candy....Cricut had a cracker template.....re-sized the cracker to 2.5 inch  x .75 inch....had a hard time to fold all the score lines since it was so tiny. The word Sweet was also cut from Cricut , added a heart to make it a SWEETHEART!!  Final touch - bow, rhinestones and 3D glitter.

Now the card is ready

Sweet for My Sweetheart :)!!!!

Cheery Lynn Design Team call

Made this card for the Cheery Lynn DT call.

Since I planned to use more CLD dies I created 2 layer card.

Bottom Layer

Started with 6 x 6 square card, layered with beautiful pink shimmering handmade paper. Diecut 2 doilies and aligned on the corners.Added some rhinestones and the sentiment is from Cricut.

Now comes the interesting part....

Top Layer

Created a layer with Acetate, which also gives the card a nice glossy effect. Added a nice Big Bow in the middle with a cameo. For one corner I used Victorian romance flourish with some half pearls.

Each and every roses were handmade, instead of leaves I added green roses :)

Jack "Na" Flower in the box

YAY!!!! I got my Cricut Explore after a long long research and comparison. For the first cut I wanted it to be simple and straight....so I chose a box with straight edges. The cuts were very crisp and clean, much much better than my cricut expression. The size of the box is 2.5 inch.

For the topper I used Cheerylynn Polynesian sails Mini doily die and flower cutouts from an old greeting card. Added glitter and glaze to the flower to give a glossy effect.

Made a double bow and added a small ribbon flower bunch which I got from an old hair clip and for the closure I used magnet.

Now for the surprise

"Pop goes the Flower"

The rose was made with Tim holtz flower die with little sparkle from wink of Stella. For the spring I used 2 one inch strips.

And one more thing the pop up flower is removable, used Velcro to attach it to the base. Ideal for small gifts.

Celebration

Wishing all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

First challenge of the year 2015 for the Simply create 

too blog is "Let Celebrate".

For our house party I planned to make a box for my yummy plum cake. The box was made with A 4 size card. Added the Spellbinders Majestic label 25 on the box, stamped the sentiment with Pearl blue Archival ink. Punched out the Cheerylynn Sweet William Flowers and gave it a little  sparkle with glitters.Added the pollens under the flower to give more dimension.

Made a matching card for the box, instead of flower I added couple of snowflakes with glitter.
