Seaside Box with Guylian Chocolates

We all love Love chocolates (well 99% of us anyway) and I needed to make a little gift for someone special. I thought what better stamp to decorate this lovely little box of Guylian Sea Shells with than the wonderful Seaside Stamp. You can co-ordinate your gift packaging to whats inside your gift. For this box I made a simple little box base and stamped shells all over in pretty in Pink. I then placed a piece of Chocolate Chip ribbon around the top to hide the raw edge. To make the top I made a band that goes around the middle with some Designer Series paper (in chocolate chip of course), with a square scallop I punched through the middle so we can see whats on the inside (yummy chocolates). I stamped and water coloured some wonderul Shells and attached them using the 2 way Glue pen. Stamp yourself some words and you have a personalised and wonderful gift for a Friend or Teacher. The hardest part of this little box set is not eating the chocolates.

Today is our last Day with the beautiful Seaside Stamp Set, I will be doing many more of my scrapbooking pages with this set and will post them here when I do. Tomorrow I will be back with a Brand New Feature Set for the week and all I can say is it's another beautiful set.

Seaside - Photo Card

For all of you that scrapbook, I am sure you will agree that we always end up with that odd photo left over that didn't suit the page or maybe didn't fit. Well until now I just throw them away or added them to the ever mounting pile of 1 day I'll do something with that and what better time than now. A fun and fast card to send to family and friends can be made simply by using your left over photo's. This photo was left from the page I posted a couple of days ago and instead of adding to the pile I thought, I would send it off to family in the UK. I have stamped the background in Shells from Seaside mounted the photo on a piece of cardstock I had left from a kit and in 10 minutes I have created a beautiful card, that Grand parents will love. The Shells were stamped onto white cardstock and sponged using close to cocoa and navy, then placed along the card using 3-Dimensional Foam dots.

Seaside - Kids Card

I love this little whale from Animal Stories Stamp Set and thought what better background than shells. Just shows how universal this set is. It is difficult to see in this photo but I have placed some little droplets of crystal affects on the backs of each whale. I love making these cards that appear to be like a film strip and think they also look wonderful on Scrapbooking pages.

Seaside Scrapbooking page

I have been waiting so long to scrapbook these photos of the boys at Lighthouse beach in Port Macquarie. I think these shells stamped on Kraft and Sahara Sand Cardstock look wonderful with Beach photo's and I will be using them again very soon for some other pages while we were at the beach. I have used the Something Fishy Jumbo wheel along the bottom of my page to make it feel even more beachy. Watch closely for more explanation on Harry and The bike at the Beach!!
I am really enjoying getting back into my scrap booking after such a long time without time to even look at it. I would be happy to teach and run classes for anyone wanting to learn more.

Seaside - Joy fold Card

I seen a card with this wonderful opening and thought I would give it a go this week while I am showcasing the lovely Seaside Stamp Set. I have included 2 photo's, 1 of the card closed look ing at the front and the other photo shows the flap on the right open. You can also fold back the flap on the left where the words are. These cards are known as Joy fold cards. Again I have Water Colour Crayoned the Shell and think it looks wonderful in the earthy colours. If you would like to learn how to make this wonderful Joy card please do not hesitate to contact me.

Seaside - Card

Using this set really makes you want to go to the beach, I am having lots of fun playing with it and during this week I have some wonderful projects to share with you. I started off with Some Sahara Sand Cardstock this is a great neutral colour that looks great with these Shells. I have Water Coloured using Crayons this Shell giving it a natural soft look.

I'm not to sure what my Brads were thinking when I put them in; the hole lined up perfectly but when I inserted the brads it appeared they may have had 1 to many drinks. I finished off the card with Hemp twine tied around the middle of the card.

Back soon with more inspiration.

Seaside - New Feature Card

We have a New Stamp Set being Featured this week, Seaside featured in the main catalogue for $45.95. I brought this Stamp Set and have had it in the pile of 1 day I'll use it. Well, Today is the day and I must say I really love it, I will be featuring a variety of projects this week all using the Seaside Stamp Set.

To Start a Fun week with Shells, Shells and more Shells I have incorporated the Seaworthy Stamp Set. Many of us find Male cards a challenge but I must say this was lots of Fun.
