Thank You Gift Box & Handmade Cards

Good morning to you all! I would like to share a creation i made using an empty teabag box!

I made this for one of my neighbours who was kind enough to loan me a wheelchair when i injured my right knee after the NHS were not helpful! 

Update on my knee! I was informed that i had torn the cartilage on the right side of my knee and now i'm receiving physiotherapy to try to straighten it as it was bent for 3 months. I still can't straighten it fully yet!

Oops! Thank you Donna, i forgot to say i put a selection of handmade cards in the box!

Warning! Picture Heavy Post!

 I started with my empty teabag box.

 I then adhered some Papermania paper to the box and added some robin diecuts and 

a reindeer circle diecut.

 I then added some spotty Washi Tape along the edges.

 Added some check bows and robin to the front of the lid.

 Finished it off with a ribbon handle and a big bow, ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

And this is the side view!

Stocking Tilda

I just love 'Stocking Tilda' from the new Magnolia Christmas collection!

For my card i used my Spellbinders Grand Nesties to create an easel card, stamped my cute Tilda and coloured with Copics and DMs, i also inked up my Magnolia ' Smooth Fir' tree stamp and added some Snow-Tex and fibre trim. Other dies used are Magnolia's 'Sprawling Ferns' and 'Poisettia' and Cheery Lynn's 'French pastry doily'. Lace is Melissa Francis, ribbons and bows are from my stash. I needed a button so i used one of my bark hearts from LLC, punched a couple of holes in and threaded some pink string through. Pearls are from my stash and Fran-tage is from My Crafty Heart.

I had so much fun making this card using, Frantage, Snow-Tex and my glue gun!

The Day Before Christmas

And Tilda is hanging up her stocking.

Yay! I've got a couple of the new Magnolia Tilda stamps and i decided to stamp and ink this one up first.

She is called as you may have already guessed, 'The Day Before Xmas Stocking Tilda' and i stamped her onto a Spellbinder's die cut and coloured her with my Copics and DMs. The lovely paper is from Janet K Designs. Also today i received my goodies from the Sandra at Live and Love Crafts and i've used some of them on my creation, 'Mini bark heart', 'WOC Cosmos daisy', 'White flower spray' and 'Snow-Tex'.

Other items used are crinkle edge ribbon, stocking charm, red berries and some Hobbycraft mini roses and some glamour Dust.
