la la loopsey

my girls love lala loopsey

i don't quite know why

but meh

they probably feel the same about my love of watching the news each night lol

here is some loopsey fun from this week made for a special birthday girl

 to make her face i used a 11/4" circle punch for her hair and face.

owl punch for the hair bows 

cupcake punch for dots on bows, eyes, and cheeks

 here's a close up of her face

 then i put it on a card-nice and simple
i got the sketch idea from retro sketches 

 i also made a special box for her present to go into that matched the card.

i recycled an old su button container

 just stuck sticky strip all over it and added ribbon and dsp to it and a suede flower

 my little "helper" with her punch art horse she made

 i also made a little hand bag for the rest of the present to match the card and container

 i made a door name plaque out of polymer clay

 i made some matching earrings as well

 here is the matching necklace

and the whole set of present-name plaque, earrings and necklace

cheers ears

magical magic boxes

hey there campers! it has been a busy week or so in my little part of paper land. i have had a whole heap of celebrations land at my feet so i have been busy buys busy making presents the one i am showing off today is called a magic box and i got the idea from this very clever lady called barbara you should check out all the amazing creations at her blog this box was made for my friend for her birthday. her favoiurite colour is red. i also decided i really really really needed to go through my stash of dsp and use it up before some of it became too retired lmao

here is the box all closed up. i made a cute little birthday cake for the top using punches and ribbon

take the lid off and inside is a cardboard peice of cake complete with candle. open the whole box up by taking the ribbon off and you get this! this is a 12x12 sheet of dsp divided into 9 even squares then i stuck co-ordinating card onto them the lid comes off the cake to be a gift box. i did the lid with whisper white card and embossed it with my big shotinside is the real present a necklace and earrings! i'll be back later alligators for some more looksies at what i have been making cheers ears
