Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello, the Stampin Friends Blog Hop is here for October, our theme today "Thanks/Thankful". I've used the Arrange a Wreath Bundle and Buffalo Check stamp set for my creation.  I began by cutting a Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow wreath, then intertwined them, then cut 3 Crushed Curry flowers. After working out the arrangement I wanted something more, that more was the Buffalo Check, so I stamped in Crushed Curry, but it still wasn't what I was hoping for.....so I stepped up the check to plaid by ruling lines with my Stampin' Markers, that did the trick, tying all the elements together. I trimmed the plaid panel and adhered to the card and attached the wreath using a mix of glue and dimensionals , I also added a little Linen Thread for bling (not all bling shines) and lastly added the sentiment. For the treat box I partially stamped the wreath after cutting with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box , then cut some wreath elements from scraps and threaded through the handle...

That mischievous little elf is back, and he's been having a ball, just as I did creating this card for the Stamping Friends Christmas themed Blog hop. I find colouring to be quite relaxing, so I really enjoyed creating this card. I also used one of my favouite techques.... masking, to "layer" the additional small presents. Then all that was left was to grab my Stampin' Blends and colour to my hearts content. I created the textured layer using the Subtle embossing folder, I must say, I do love how this little bit of texture can add so much to a card, and it's so simple! The #ELFIE set has several sentiments, I also stamped the inside of the card, carrying the Stitched Rectangle theme to the inside of the card too. I also made a complimenting  Gift Box with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies, and added a tag by fussy cutting another of the Elfie images, this little guy is so stinking cute!  hope the projects you've see...
