Just Because I Love You!

Good Morning!

It has been TOO long since I have had the chance to post! 

This card was created for our new Month long Prize challenge for  Feb at Freshly Brewed Challenges. We are wanting to see any projects that show LOVE!!! 

I chose to create a friend themed card... you will see why later in this post :D HEHEHE

 

I made a matching card and little envelope. This little envelope has a secret inside... 

as you lift the bag open, there is a little slider in there that pulls the goodies up for the recipient to see right away! Genius right?!? This template is actually called Surprise Purse. It can be found at Creations by AR along with MANY OTHER AWESOME TEMPLATES!

 I used my NEW twinery twine (and older twine in maraschino ) to decorate this felt heart. The new color I used is called FLAX. It is a really light brown and goes very well with the kraft paper, dont you think? I tried to stitch it on with a blanket stitch, but found I am not soo good at that one... need more practice definitely! :D

Here is the card all alone. I used my Fresh Brewed Designs La Dulce Vita (the sweet life) rubber stamp, an OLD woodblock stamp by stampcraft called love for the sentiment, a marvy scalloped punch for the white circle, my nestabilities punch for the lacy scalloped circle die, American Craft Bookshelf Alcott designer paper, PTI Kraft paper, prismacolor markers, twiinery twine in flax and a 5x7 embossing folder.

HERE IS THE SURPRISE~!! 

Wait for it...

Wait for it.....

Look at this again.. inside the envelope... 

what does that say? Oh! you have a chance to win a free rubber stamp!

How you ask?

hehehe! I had to steal that from my DT member and friend Stacie. I thought that was just too cute :D.

Sorry for my delay in posting. I am really not sure what today even is right off the top of my head :/. My little man has been pretty sick with a high fever, sore throat and other things I will spare you from reading about. Thank goodness the fever has left him, we are just trying to get the other things under control and make sure he does not become dehydrated. We have to be back at the dr this afternoon.

Back to the post :D
Yesterday was the start of the new Freshly Brewed Challenge which is to create Anything But a Card. Bags, boxes, treat holders, bookmarks, wall hangings.... the possibilities are endless!!!

Here is a project I created using Adlea's template: 3 pocket Caddy. This template is available in a PDF file. Her templates are all just so beautiful and so easy to create with.

My flower filled gift set using
Daisy with Flowers Digital Stamp

I created a bookmark that fits inside a pocket that is decorated with a FBD Digital stamp: Daisy with Flowers. Daisy is colored with prismacolor markers and decorated with diamond stickles. I also used the cuttlebug swiss dots folder, glass beads, ribbon, and a border punch to decorate the caddy.

I am off to take a break before getting my little man off to the dr. I am not tired due to the lack of sleep I have gotten, just a little light headed. Perhaps I will start another pot of coffee :)

Hope to see you participate in this weeks challenge!!! Please stop by and check out the post for all the current FBD News!
