I hope everyone has had a good weekend!

I managed to get all of my important jobs done by the end of the day, so decided to get on with my latest Kanban Design Team Project. 

I had a box of after dinner mints, which looked a little boring as a gift, so decided to give it a face lift!

Here it is below:

For this project I used the following Kanban products:

Gold Mirror card

Mocha- Calligraphy (CRD1853)

Ornate Flourish - Mil Chocolate Large Torn Edge Toppers (PCT2338)

Baroque Cameos (PCT1926)

Here is the box with the lid removed.

.......a little more of a side angle 

 

here I have untied the ribbon on the top of the box

to show that there is an easel card attached, making this

a gift and a card all in one!

A closer look at the easel card

one final view.

Ok......I know I will be in trouble for sneaking away from doing my accounts, but I just had to cheer myself up by making a card.
Here is some photos of what I have been up to.

To make this card I used:

Kanban Meadow Rose - Cream Toppers (PCT2347)

Kanban Bling

Distress Inks

Embellishments from my stash

I have added this picture to show how I used the rose die cuts which were flat

and spiral cut them with scissors to make them into 3D roses

Here the card is in standing position, which shows the sentiment through 

the aperture I cut with spellbinders dies.

Finally, the side view.

Good day everyone!
I am having a day of doing my dreaded accounts today (groan) although I am hoping for a little time in my workshop in between times!
Hopefully I will have some more images to upload later.

It is looking like a quiet weekend as my husband and 2nd son are working today and my daughter has gone to stay with friends until Tuesday. So it looks like its just me and my youngest son for the next few hours at least.

This card has been stamped  using a Kanban Jasper stamp and then coloured with Promarkers.

The dress was stamped 3 times, then cut out and decoupaged in layers to give a fuller effect.
I made the background for the image with white cardstock which has been distressed with inks 
and randomly stamped with a flourish swirl.

A close up of the dress which was properly laced on the bodice!

Good morning everyone!

I thought I would introduce you to my 18yr old daughter Leanne.

I am hoping that Leanne will be working alongside me in my business shortly

as she will soon have completed her exams.

As it is Easter holidays, I am also hoping that Leanne gets moving and helps me out today as I have so much to do!

It has been back to work after the Easter break today and straight back into double class day!
It was great to see my ladies back on form and producing some wonderful projects.

No uploads so far today for me as I have been too busy at my shop, but I am now ready to get creative in my workroom once again. Tonight the Fimo is out again!

I hope to have some more card samples to upload tomorrow.

This project has been made using Kanban products:

White card stock
Butterfly Clear Stamp 03
Kanban Lilac pearlescent card stock
Fancy Floral Background Card CRD1789
Clear Acetate

 There is a bit of an optical illusion

going on here (purposely) 

as the image has been overlaid with acetate 

which has been offset to give a 3D effect.

 I have taken this one from a different angle 

so you can see the over-lay more clearly

It is difficult to get a true effect on camera.
