Tatty Teddy Picnic Basket

Here is the little picnic basket I made with Tatty Teddy papers to go with Moira's Tatty Teddy birthday card which I posted on my blog last week.
I followed the instructions Here
I have made the depth bigger as I wanted to add some wooden stamps and some stamped images as a little birthday present.
I attached the handle with brads so it can been moved and the butterflies have been punched out with an X-cut punch.

I used little magnets that I bought from ebay to make sure the flaps on the sides remained in the right place.

I was really pleased with this as its my first attempt at one of these.

Anniversary card for Dad and Brenda

Here is the card and box I made for my Dad and Brenda to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

The image is a Lili of the Valley stamp,which I have coloured in with Promarkers. I matted the image onto a scalloped circle and stuck to the base card. The sentiment is also a Lili of the Valley stamp which I matted and layers onto a scalloped circle mirri die cut.

I cut a circle in the front of the red card and stuck some acetate to cover the hole and then scored the card to give some dimension as you can see in the top photo.

I have added two mirri card die cuts which were are from a Cuttlebug die called Elegant corners I think. I have add dot glitterations around the circle.

The flowers are from a Papermania pack and I have added Craft Work Cards card candy in the middle to finish them off.

For the box I printed off some red hearts onto card using the little hearts Pink Petticoat download and scored to the height I wanted for the box and stuck together with PVA.

Roberts 6th Birthday card

Here is the card I have made for our nephew Robert who is six today, Happy Birthday Robert!

I started with a 7 x 5 scalloped card and cut and scored it to make a double side step card.

I love tatty teddy and have bought some of the new craft bits out, the image is a rubber stamp from Docrafts which I have coloured in with Promarkers.

The paper is from The tatty teddy decoupage pack and the blue card from my craft stash. I have added a dot glitterations to each of the four corners of the image. I have also added 3 dot glitterations on both side of the centre and 3 dots of glossy accents covered with glitter on each side.

I've used silver peel offs to spell out Robert and used my Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet die set to cut the number 6.

Moira's Birthday card

Another card from me and its another Tatty Teddy card, I have made it for my crafting friend Moira, its her birthday on 19th May, Happy Birthday Moira!

I started off with a piece of card measuring 9.5 inches by 6 inches and scored in half.

I then got some patterned Tatty Teddy paper and with the long edge along the top I scored at 3, 4 3/4 and 6.5 inches. I then measured in 1 1/4 inch in from the top and also the bottom on the centre fold line and then measured outwards 1 1/2 inch on both sides of centre fold. I cut both lines along top and bottom of the rectangle (horizontal lines) and scored the vertical lines, I am sure if you look at the photo of the inside you will see what I mean, I then punched both sides with a Martha Stewart punch which leaves little scallops and edged with Glitterations.

I stamped the teddy image twice using a Tatty Teddy clear stamp and coloured his nose and patches with Promarkers, then stuck invisable thread to the back and then stuck the other image onto the back to hide the thread. The ends of the thread were then attached to the back of the main insert part.

I cut the name Moira out with my Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet set and stuck to the left hand side, added a sentiment which I cut out with my oval nesties and matted onto a fancy tag cut using a Spellbinders fancy tag die and added 2 dot glitterations on the sides.

I have decorated the front with an image from the Tatty Teddy Decoupage pack and edged this with silver glitterations, and then matted onto blue card, then stuck onto patterned paper and blue card edged in silver glitterations with 3d foam pads. I have also edged the sentiment with glitterations too.

I hope she is going to like it.
