Party Gifts and Gift Boxes...

With Georgia's 8th Birthday just days away, I have all the party bits organised, right down to the gift bags for friends coming bowling and for pizza. I made each of them a necklace with ribbon & shrink plastic, and also a zip pull....Here is a picture of one set, each set is ever so slightly different...

So each girl will get a set in a box with a couple of mini chocolate bars in there too....I mean a girl needs chocolate right!

Here is a picture of all the boxes with each girls name on. They are almost finished, I just need to go and get a pack of chocolate and add the ribbon around the rim of each box...then they are all done...

The boxes are made from a piece of Bazzill bling that is 6x11 inches and is folded into a 4x4 mini pizza box. The top is decorated with a die-cut done using my Nesties Label One, a heart pin and also a black dotted bow. The flowers are made from the same tissue paper that is inside the box.

So with the bowling lane booked, the restaurant confirmed, gifts made....all I need to do is pick up a cake and a balloon, buy chocolate for the gift boxes, and go and get a couple more small birthday pressies for the Birthday Girl! Where are the Dads when it comes to sorting all this stuff out!

More with Shrink Plastic...

This week I have been having a real play with Shrink Plastic. I have made a couple of keyrings and also a necklace....I have shown pics of all but this one. I have used one of the digi images from The Greeting Farm, this one is called "Twisted Tea" I printed it in A5 format and then coloured it with my Copics. After shrinking I added a keyring and hook, plus some ribbon which I have just tied on to the ring and also a piece tied into a bow. I kept it pretty simple, and now it is happily adorning my handbag.

Off to bed now as I am off to Ally Pally tomorrow for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show....yay.

Be sure to pop back later on today to see my Club Anya & Friends "Sketchy Saturday" card.

Club Anya & Friends Monday Mania - ABC (Anything But a Card!) Challenge!

This week over on the Club Anya & Friends blog the challenge is ABC (Anything But a Card). I decided to make a necklace with one of the digi Creepy Cakes. I printed her out onto Shrink Plastic (approx A5 in size) and coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Eyes - B21
Hair - W1/W2
Clothing - W0/W1/W2/W3/W5/W7/W9/R29
I have used a couple of jump rings and a piece of Doodlebug ribbon, to fasten the ribbon I have used velcro.

Georgia tried to walk off with this before I even had a chance to finish it off...that girl is addicted to Shrink Plastic!

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge - Spooky Mulder!

Here is my ATC for this weeks, the penultimate weeks, challenge over on the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog. Our theme this week is Spooky Mulder!, this is something my Hubby said whenever we watched the X-Files, particularly the ones towards the end that got more and more weird. I have used six (you better believe it) different Magnolia stamps from the "So Spooky" collection . I stamped all but the background onto shrink plastic and coloured with Copics. To create the background once I stamped it I just inked the cardstock with VersaMagic chalk inks.
Also I have used some Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock punched with my Martha Stewart bat punch. I made this little scene so that it can stand up.

As I mentioned before, this is the last but one ever challenge on Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog, so we would love it if you could come over and join us for the last couple of challenges.

Cute Card Thursday - So Charming!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog our theme is "So Charming!". We want to see you use charms on your card or project. Our sponsor this week is a new regular monthly one....Simon Says Stamp who are offering the winner of this weeks challenge a $25 voucher to spend online. We are also joined by a new Guest DT member...Lisa of Lisa Bees Ponderings.

For my card I have used one of the Lili of the Valley "Christmas Bear" stamps coloured with Copics using the following colours, cut using my Nestabilities and raised on 3D foam pads...
Bear - E50/E51/E53/E31/R20
Star - Y17/Y21
Hat - R46
The papers are all October Afternoon "Good Cheer" and I have layered them with Bazzill & DCWV cardstock. The charm has been created using frosted Shrink Plastic that I stamped with another of the Lili of the Valley images and coloured with Copics...then shrunk it using a heat gun. I have also added a couple of heart pins, Stampin' Up choc chip taffeta, and stars punched with my Stampin' Up star punch. The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards and I have layered it up using a Woodware 1.5" circle punch and the Stampin' Up scalloped circle punch also raised on 3D foam pads. I used the gorgeous sketch over on Friday Sketchers....will certainly be using it again, as I am really pleased with the result....I now have 11 Xmas cards made...don't even want to think about how many more I need.

I love those little Shrink Plastic charms and will have to make more as they are so much fun and Georgia just loves to watch how they look all screwed up and then suddenly they are flat again...as if by magic!
