A Gift To Say Thank You

Hello everyone how are you all?

Have you seen the fabby new products Tracy has recently added here & the new Magnolia Recipe collection is in her store now here.Not forgetting the darling new Little Darling release that is on pre-order here.........I know yumminess overload at its best!!

I'm here today to show you a little giftbox thing I made as a way of saying thank you to someone, or it could even be to say sorry or a get well soon kinda pressie......we alllove pressies when we are poorly.....I was recently poorly so hubby even got me some, he's such a gem;-)

So this is a little boxto hold something sweet inside....... Of course I've used Maja Design Summertime paperswhich are soooooo darn gorgeous.....yes I know they all are arn't they.

If you had to choose a favourite what would it be? 

There is not one bit of this I didnt decorate & as usual I machine sewn all the edges, except the trims going around the edge.........I did think about it but then decided against it.

This is the back & I used a Joy Crafts die cut twice & then added a border from the bottom of one of the Maja Design 12x12 sheets & cut the ends.

So this is the inside which holds a nice bar of chocolate.

I added a pocket for a tag for somewhere to write so you dont have to squash the front down.

I decorated inside the pocket so everything co-ordinates & added the same lace on the front & back to the pocket as well.

I know the choccy is not that yummy but we all decided to eat healthily since the 2nd week of january so this chocoalte is the only one you are allowed......so the only chocolate in my fridge is 5 bars of 85% cocoa lol.....not that nice & 1 chunk is usually enough lol.

I

The image on the front is a Magnolia stamp from the seaside collection & is the Sea View chair........its great to be used alone or with another image... I do have this coloured up with a Tilda sitting on it also which will be on my blog in a few days time.

I coloured it with distress ink refills onto fabriano paper & then I cut it out using one of my favourite dies Little Darlings Fancy Squares only instead of looking like a square I turned it.

I also used another Joy Crafts die cut it in half & placed half either side.

 The flap I made with dies from Little Darlings Fancy Rectangles, I've also used some of the button dies.

Of course I had to add bling & fancy flowers & a Whimsy sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by & your lovely comments on this blog.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Little Darlings Magazine Cards

Hellooooo everyone, how are you all?

The DT girls at Noor Design were asked to do some cards using Little Darling Rubber Stamps.....well of course we were not going to say no!!! We got very excited about it & said yessss lol.

I have to say I am so excited to be in a magazine & in a fabulous craft magazine as well......this was actually the first craft magazine I ever brought & then subscribed to for 12 months.

Anyway here is the magazine all us Noor Design UK girls are in......

.....we are showcasing the fabulous stamps from Little Darlings. The lovely Eulanda is on the front cover & then I'm on the front cover of the pull out & keep part in the magazine yayyyy.

I'm also on the Papercraft Blog here with one of my cards.

Ok so here are my 2 cards I made.......in all honesty this card I wasn't very happy with, it was the 2nd card & I did rush it a bit.....yes I'm showing you the 2nd card first lol.

Isn't the image fabulous though.......of course I thought as I'm using Little Darlings stamps then I should use the dies as well.....not that I have to be forced into that as I lurve the dies....especially the square & rectangle frames!!

I added 2 lots of gorgeous lace up the side, 1 of them I cut in half as its a wide lace so you have the option of using it full width or cut in half length ways......you get double the amount for your money then ;-)

Marth Stewart PATP set for the edge.

My next card I really enjoyed making, although I would like to colour these in copics next time.

Again I've used Little Darlings dies & I've used my favourite ones on this one, Fancy Rectangle die, Lovely View die & I've also used a button die from the Fancy Squares die set.

I love this image I really do, I love animals especially dogs....she is gonna share that cupcake with her doggy as well you know.......its ok there is no choccy or anything else to harm her buddy ;-)

I also used my favourite papers for this one.........Maja Design...oh I had to use them for at least one card ;-)

I did keep things more on the simpler.......ok not simple....come on its me you know I love my foofiness ;-) However I did limit myself but in all honesty this pretty girl & her dog dont need that much foofiness do they ;-)

Here is the pull out & keep section that we are all featured in.....look there's me on the cover.

I have to say I love my teamies & love how they are all so talented & they did fantastic creations for the magazine as they always do.

Tatty bye & thanks for stopping by lovelies & your lovely comments.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
