Shoes and a shoe box!

Oh my goodness I am so excited to share this project with you!

I just had the urge to create a pair of shoes!

And then I thought .......... Mmm they need a box too! lol!

I had such fun making these I really hope you LOVE them too!

Of course I had to decorate the back too! 

Oh how I would LOVE a real pair of these.... Jimmy ........ lol! 

Here is a close up of the corner of the shoe box.

 I just decorated the one corner as it was designed for the shoes to sit on it!

The lid is all glittered on each butterfly, the camera didn't pick it up very well .....

Also all the flowers and leaves are sprayed with Irridescent Spray and Sparkle! 

I made the shoes and the shoe box with the Sara Signature English Country Garden 

collection from Crafter's Companion.

Here are the items I used:

12 x 12 paper pad
Beautiful Leaves stamp set
Lazy Daisy die
Floral Vine die
Grand Floral metal die

Die'sire Mixed Media Gift Tags die set

Other items: Prills (flower centres) pearls, glitter glue, Peeled paint and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks

I used a shoe template I found on Pinterest for the shoes, search shoe template and you will find it easily!

Happy Crafting everyone! Hugsxxx

Snowmen fun!

It's Heartfelt Wednesday! Here is the card I made this week.

I had fun making a snowy scene and making an acetate card!

The idea was the inner of the card completed the picture of the front 

of the card as you can see though it!

These snowmen are such fun to colour and so easy too!

I love easy colouring lol!!!!! 

Here is the inner! 

The card wasn't  easy to photograph so apologies!

Lol it seemed odd taking snowmen pics in the blazing sunshine!!!!

To make the card I used the following:

HCD1-709  Gift Box and Mini Snowflakes Die

HCD1-7107 Frolicking Frosty and Spruce die

HCPC-3750 Frolicking Frosty Cling Stamp

HCPC-3751 Snow Kissed Flakes and Tag cling stamp set

HCPC-3749 Snow Kissed Spruce Cling stamp set

TSMP602 Teal Zeal Memento Ink Pad

159723 Dries Clear Glue

85-glitter Transparent glitter

241159 Dove Blender kit

Other Products Used : White card, Dotty Embossing folder, Acetate, Snowflake Paste,

Peeled Paint Distress ink, glitter glue, Promarkers (Ivory, Tan, Cinamon) Spectrum Noir

Markers (IG3, OR1 and True Black), 3D Foam pads, 3D glue. 

Spellbinders Lacey Oval and Oval dies.

Fold a piece of acetate in half. (I used an A4 size with white dots on) Tear several

pieces of white card and emboss with a dotty embossing folder. Arrange the card to

look like snowy hills and adhere to the card with glue and 3D foam pads. I did this on all 

sides to cover the glue marks as you can see them through the acetate. Stamp and die cut the 

trees and snowmen. Use the snowflake paste on the trees and sprinkle glitter over it. 

Using glitter glue, glitter the snowmen. Colour the snowmen with the Dover blender pen and 

the Teal Zeal ink. Colour the boots of the snowman with marker pens. 

(I used Promarkers - Ivory, Tan and Cinamon) Colour the nose with Spectrum Noir OR1 and the buttons with True Black. Shade the snowman with a grey I used IG3. Stamp, die cut and glitter the snowflakes. Die cut the lacey ovals die and colour with Teal Zeal ink. Die cut the oval die and adhere to the lacey oval die cut. Adhere to the inner of the card. Adhere the trees, snowmen and snowflakes to the card and your project is complete.
