Happy Birthday Nicky!

It was Nicky's birthday last week and after texting her a photo of my 3D class projects, she said she LOVED the card box and wanted one!!! Your wish is my command!! Poof......(I'm a genie!)....

Obviously I had to make a card as well!! LOL. I really love making the easel cards.

This is what the box looks like on the inside. Once you get the hang of the measurements, it is pretty easy to put together. You will need 12x12 card stock for the base and believe it or not but I ran out of whisper white so I used the thick card stock you get in the DSP packs.....you know, the backing sheet which tell you what the DSP is! I just made sure the whiter side was on the outside. It is super thick and great for this project.

I used a magnetic disc to close the box.

Now for the card! I chose these colours more for the DSP (Sweet Always) but also because Nicky LOVES chocolate chip and orange. She said she goes through a tonne of chocolate chip card stock because it is the one she reaches for first!

In case you thought I used a 'special' DSP for the top part of the card, I didn't. I used the Vintage Vogue (Autumn/Winter Mini) stamp set and there is a flourish stamp which I stamped onto the Pumpkin Pie card stock with Pumpkin Pie ink.

Do you like my bow?! LOL.

I must apologise for the quality of these photos. I had to take these at night (the night before Convention) so I could give it to Nicky when I got to her house.

This post is scheduled to go live in a couple of days but we are supposed to have rainy days for the most part of this week. I hope the rain goes to where it is really needed and not just in our pool so it over flows!!!

I need to tell you, that you would be laughing right now if you could see me!!! Truly. It has been raining here in Sydney for a few days now and after dropping Oliver off at school this morning, I got wet so I put my pj's back on with my warm slippers (boot style) and I have now just put on a thick vest jacket to keep me warm. Miss M is sound asleep all rugged up in her bed (boy, I wish I could join her in there!!). I just need to remember to change my clothes again when picking Oliver up from school! Can you imagine......I get there and realise I am in my pj's!! ROFLOL.

Happy Stamping,
