If all has gone well, you have arrived at my blog for todays Sale A Bration Blog Hop through the link on Kara's site. Are you enjoying getting lots of ideas and inspiration whilst going around all the blogs? Its great fun isnt it!!!
I love making 3D items and had the idea to make this tissue box cover during a shopping trip to the supermarket. I did buy a template from a local craft shop but it wasnt quite right - I ended up making some changes but love the result.
Will definately be making more for a craft fair coming up at our local church. The ladies at my class yesterday (hope you had a great time girls?) loved it so we will be making one for our next class.
The stamp sets used are Vintage Labels (Sale A Bration Set) and Wonderful Words (current catalogue).
Cardstock is Basic Black and Kraft with the Designer Series Paper being from the Bella Bleu collection (this really is stunning). The images are heat embossed in gold - I wanted to make it look elegant but simple.
And here's a card made using the Vintage Labels and Good Neighbours sets (both Sale A Bration freebies).
I am sure you are pushed for time whilst looking through all the sites so I will post more detailed instructions on my site in the next few days.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog, here is Linda's site for your next trip through cyberspace on the Blog Hop!!
When you have visited all the 15 ladies sites on the Blog Hop there is a second group of ladies doing one and you can see them by visiting Saras blog here.
