Animal Corner Book Marks

A quick post today:
Are these the cutest things or what?  They are corner bookmarks.  Just slip the mouth into the corner of a page. These are cut files from the Silhouette on line store.  They are so "happy" and "cute". Quick and easy to make, too. Using some very small googlie eyes was much easier than trying to adhere some small black dots.   There is also a monster corner bookmark in the Silhouette store which I decided not to use since these four were so adorable.

Here are the backs:

Personalized Altoid Treat Box

A quick post.
I had been wanting to make these customized Altoid boxes for a while but never found time - the opportunity came up where I was able to makes these cute personalized Altoid boxes using photos for the top to give for the holidays.  LOVE this! Am happy with the results and a great gift for anyone to store anything. One Altoid box was made using an initial.  So the possibilities are endless with this box................by the way, the Altoid box template is a cut file which can be found on the Silhouette on line store.............now THAT even makes it easier to cut (and the pieces fit perfect and plan the paper for this box.  Once cut, it is a snap to finish. Sticky tape is used for all the pieces.  I was able to make a template for the photo to cut the exact shape for the top cover and mat.

Here's the inside of the box which is covered......nice finish, eh?

Thanks for coming to visit today.............................hope this will inspire you ti make some of these boxes.

A Orchid Thank You

Is the most subtle and darling card or what? I got this from my friend Jan Castle: you know the one: Jan's Joy's. Yikes, I just noticed that smudge on my photo which means I have a smudge on my camera lens................oh brother!!!!  This image is embossed - am guessing it was stamped in black and has clear embossing. I love the red Washi paper accent used a a mat.

See the small adhesive red rhinestones in the center of the flowers.................

Jan, if you read this, maybe you can elaborate how the vase was done.................dah me!

Thank you, Jan for sending me this card...........I always treasure the cards yous end me.

A Snowflake Thank You

I received this Thank You card from my friend Frances C to share.  I believe she used Stampin-Up products to make her card.  Nice, eh? The snowflake is stamped, embossed, die cut, then popped with foam squares.

Here's a closer look at the embossed mat:

"Thanks" is inked with silver embossing powder.

A Penguin New Year Wish

Isn't this the cutest card ever? I LOVE it - got this from a friend (Karen L.) - I believe this is a My Scrap Chick file.  Karen told me she combined a couple file to make this card into a New Year card.  The champagne bottle and noise maker is from the on line Silhouette store.  The papers used for this card are great, especially the dotted Swiss paper in cranberry color.

See the gold paper used for the front of the noise maker and the champagne bottle label and bottle cover? The photo doesn't show it but each of those cut out circle has some shiny Stickles in it - bling bling bling.............and you can the scar with that Swiss dot cranberry paper. She used chalk on the ear muffs.....so subtle, eh?

Stickles on the top of the snow..................LOVE that Swiss dot cranberry paper base. Card inside has stamped Happy New Year using an iridescent blue ink.................

Thank you Karen for such a great card..................
