You can make an amazing gift box or a show piece.  I opted to make a gift box.

The box is good size too - not sure if you can by the photo!

I absolutely loved making the flowers and added the Nuvo drops which make it look like rain drops.

I also made this card using the embossing folder from the Kit on the plant pots.  I loved making the succulents for this card from the Kit.

Have a great day,

Make It Shake! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I absolutely loved making this card and I felt it was perfect for an 18 Year old with the mix of sweet treats and flowers!

The card is for the latest Daring Cardmakers challenge which I set and involves using an element on your card that moves!

I ended up making a shaker card and added really pretty flower sequins to the 18.

I used a mix of products from different companies.

Have a lovely weekend,

Chamfered Gift Box - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 84

Happy Friday!

As it's the 20th of the month there is a new release of the monthly craft kits from Tonic Studios.  The Chamfered Gift Box Kit is fabulous and you can see the unboxing on my instagram (simplyshabneez).

The Craft Kit has all the dies and stamps you need to create a gift box which you can see more clearly underneath.  It also contains a brand new 8" x 8" paper pad which is so pretty and I made full use of!

The box is very easy to put together and is a good size.  There are a number of sentiments you can add as a tag although I decided to stick mine on the front.  I added Nuvo drops from the Kit to finish.

Of course, I wanted to show off the papers from the pad a little more so used them to make a card with one of the dies and the ribbon in the Kit.  Something a little different.

I decided to use the papers and sentiment for an insert in my card too.  It finishes the card off beautifully.

Have a great weekend!

Leafy Lushness - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

This is the first of 2 blog posts today.  I feel a bit like a bus, none for ages then 2 together!  I really enjoyed making this card and it's perfect for an autumnal card for a friend.

The card is for the Daring Cardmakers latest leaf themed challenge and very appropriate for the time of year.

Everything on the card is new - stuff I had bought but not used so it may not be recent but new to me and at least I've used it now!  The card fold is also new to me and is one I will definitely be making again.

You can see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and if you are interested in being a guest DT member please do let me know!

See you again at 4pm for the latest Craft Kit release from Tonic Studios!

On or at The Ball - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a while I know but lots going on with the boys back at school.  In fact we were out late at a school event last night.

The Daring Cardmakers have a fun challenge this week using a ball on your card or going to the ball!  I just happened to have a football themed order to make so this worked out very well for me!

I used a decoupage football set from Katy Sue Designs but didn't decoupage the main picture.  You can see the decoupage on the smaller square though.

I added patterned paper to brighten it up and some very old Kanban sentiments to finish.

You can join in and see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend,

Butterflies & Bees - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

There's been a lot going on this summer so my blog posts haven't been as regular.  We had break in Suffolk exploring with family and were so lucky with the weather too.  My eldest passed his GCSEs so celebrated that and now getting uniforms etc ready for when school starts again next week.

I have set the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers giving a nod to the butterflies and bees this summer.  

I've used a mix of different companies and collections for this card and I really enjoy doing this.  You can see the butterfly and a die cut bee too.

See you again soon,

Prom Me To You - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 83

Happy Tuesday!

The 20th of the month means the latest craft kit from Tonic Studios is launched.  I absolutely loved this kit and the possibilities are endless.  My affiliate links, with thanks:

The Kit enables you to make outfits perfect for a wedding or a prom.  I thought outside the box on this one and made an Indian wedding card using all the elements.  Indian wedding outfits are often bright and colourful.  The scallops on the background are dies from the Kit too.

I used vellum to create the side scarf and folded it to make it look more realistic.  Nuvo drops were added to finish.

See you again soon,
