This card uses a great image from Polkadoodles

She is coloured using my Chameleon Pens and 

a little bit of sparkle added to the slippers from my spectrum noir glitter pens

The pink mats are snippets from my bit and bobs box, 

and I used a strip to hide the gap between the two foiled

 Kanban background papers I used.

I rounded the corners of the sentiment and image with my WRMC envelope maker

'...it will only make you walk funny!'

Updated Stamp Storage

I decided whilst I am looking after my friends house that I would sort the storage of my stamps out.

I had them all stored in plastic DVD boxes and the took up four of the above boxes. Some had got squashed and I didn't find it very easy to see what stamps I had, hence the decision to re-order them.

After much looking I saw these storage wallets on Amazon

I decided these would work perfectly and fitted in the plastic storage boxes I currently had the DVD cases stored in.

These boxes also come from Amazon and are available here

I then took some white card and cut it down to 13.5cm x 18.5cm.

I then used my Tim Holtz stamping platform to stamp my stamps onto each bit of card just using a black ink pad.

Once stamped I then laminated the sheet using an A4 laminator pouch. I then trimmed the laminated sheet and cut down the waste to 13.5cm x 18.5 which became my backing sheet.

Finally the stamps were stuck on to the back of the sheet and the backing sheet attached to protect stamps. 

Then this was slipped into the storage wallets and popped into the plastic box.

Now all my stamps fit in just two of the boxes instead of four and they are so easy to flick through to see what I need.

It's taken quite a few evenings but has been quite fun doing.

Now I have spare boxes I can get some more stamps lol

Afternoon Tea Voucher

I made this box card using a brilliant cutting file from SVG Cuts. 

I used my Brother Scan and Cut to  out all the pieces.

Also using the drawing feature to write the sentiment on the white panel.

I made this as my sister wants to take her daughter- in-law out for a cream tea to celebrate her birthday.

This file was perfect and the voucher is on the back panel.

The bonus with box cards is the fold flat.

I have coloured him using my chameleon pens.

Then simply mounted him on to a piece of scrap card

It was then cut with my spellbinders ovals
