Miss Pinks Craft Spot

I'm so excited to be part of the first Ink it! Stamp it! Blog Hop. This month we will be sharing "Celebration" themed projects, I'm sure you will be inspired by what we have to show you. My project was made as a special request, it took quite some time, but the end product is so worth it! The theme requested for this Birthday box was "Bling" and Turquoise - I had lots of fun with glittler!  I used lots of products completing this Birthday Box, I got quite carried away!  The Birthday Blast Stamp set and Star Blast thinlets worked a treat, and Birthday Bright had the perfect Celebrate sentiment. The Number of Years set is fabulous to personalise birthdays and anniversaries too. I couldn't believe how mammoth this was to create, but when you think about it, the inside of the box alone is 8 card fronts! I adore how the shading came out on the Balloons. Here's a close up of the stars in the centre piece I made litt

Today 's card is very special to me, my daughter and I worked together with this creation for her grandfather - I'm so proud of her, she decided on design and colours for this card. The first thing that my daughter wanted to use was the Star Blast framelits , she liked the effect of the shooting stars - a bit like fireworks! She also liked the matching stamp set Birthday Blast for extra stars and swirls as well as the birthday sentiment.

Once these parts were in place she added the stars, and there you have it - our card for he

Today I have another sneak peek for you in the form of a "card in a box" This fun card in a box is made using the Birthday Blast Bundle, the Star Blast edgelit is just perfect to create the middle section of the box - no mess no fuss! The card is for my brother, not my choice of colours, but they represent his favourite football team, here's another angle of the box The stamping is done using the Bermuda Bay Ombre stamp pad, such a lovely effect. I also adore the "swirly" edgelit, I used it on both the edges and the back of the card These products are available from 4th of January in the Occasions Catalogue - not many sleeps now!
