butterfly gifts....

Evening lovely bloggers tonight ive got an easel card and gift set to show ,i made this for two challenges MDUC where its acetate and TOMIC where its summer . I spent ages trying to think of something different to do with acetate and this is what i came up with i used my cricut to cut all the shapes for the card lovin this butterfly at the mo !! i covered the circles with papers but decided to stamp on the butterfly using prima background again .I coloured the tildas with distress inks then used a piece of acetate to make a stand to hold up the butterfly so it looked like it was just floating there is a pic below of the back not that there is much to see but i guess thats the point isnt it !!! the sitting tilda is also attached with acetate ,i finished off with some ribbon and flowers ,the whole thing folds flat to fit in a gift box .I also used more acetate to make the little bag filled it with choccies and popped tilda on the top i love this lying tilda she looks fab draped across anything doesnt she !! i had fun making this hope you like it x x

altered recipe box...

Im back again !! this time i have a recipe box i made for the challenge at mduc they want to see anything that has been altered . I came across this box that used to have washing powder tabs in ready to go out for recycling to i nabbed it and thought it would make a perfect recipe box !! i got half way into covering it and realised i hadnt taken a photo of the box before i attacked it kicking myself now doh !!! anyway i covered it with papers from magnolia and added some lace and ribbons ,coloured and cut out some appropriate tildas and finished it off with a recipe label and some flowers .to go inside i made some tags (only had time to make a few but i thought i can add to it when ive got time) cut them on my cricut then partially stamped more magnolias and added some matching ribbon ive coloured just a teeny bit of them to tie in with the colours .i had so much fun with this made a change from cards im now off scouting round to see what else i can salvage and alter !!
