Cute Card Thursday - Candy Corns!

This week over on Cute Card Thursday our theme is Candy Corns! We want to see your sweet/candy themed cards or projects. This week we are sponsored by Joni, you can see her wonderful site full of digital stamps for you to buy HERE. We are also joined by a new Guest DT, Karen and you can see her lovely Blog for more fab stuff.

So I decided to make a favour box for this weeks challenge. I used my new Sizzix Bigz XL die to cut the Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. The top has been decorated with Witch Tilda coloured with Copics, a few Doodlebug shaped buttons, and some ribbon from my stash.
As you can see in the picture above I have used acetate in the window and filled the box with halloween choccies. I also decorated with a Magnolia sentiment that I cut out in the shape of a grave headstone and added another Doodlebug button.
Finally here is a side view with the box partially opened...

Be sure to check out the Cute Card Thursday Blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with.

Crafty Angels Weekly Challenge - #3 Embossing

This week over on the Crafty Angels Blog our challenge is "Embossing". I couldn't resist making up a gift box with the Sizzix Bigz Die "Box #3". So I used some embossed cardstock to create the box and then added some of the Magnolia Papers (coming soon to Crafty Angels). I have decorated the box with a couple of Magnolia stamps from the Yummy Tummy collection (also coming soon to Crafty Angels). The images have been coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E51/E31
Headscarf - E04
Clothes - E04/E93
Shoes - E77
Spoon - E57/R59
Label - E04/E93/R59/YG03

I have added some flowers from the Prima "E Line" range plus another Prima (Lisle multi) to the centre. I finally finished off the top with a Cuttlebug butterfly. The butterfly is from a set that has one cutting die and four embossing ones, and I then added some DecoArt "Diamond Dust" to the wings to make them sparkly.
Below is a picture from the side.....to which I also added some Stampin' Up choc chip taffeta ribbon tied in a bow.
I am loving this new Bigz Die, and think you will be seeing many more boxes from me over the coming months....I just won't be able to resist
