Meslyn DT Challenge

Today kicks off the start of the first challenge over on the Making it with Meslyn Challenge Blog.
Please pop by and take part in the first challenge, its sure to get your creative juices flowing!!

Here is my DT entry for this time around - I made a goodie bag which idea I saw over on Stamp TV, and its a fabulous idea since I thought wow I LOVE it, made from one sheet of card and with no need to use glue so thats a bonus!!

the items used to decorate were from my gorgeous goodie bag supplied by Meslyn Crafts, and the pale pnk ribbon and base card from stash:

some more views of how the box opens..

not forgetting to decorate the back of course!

handbag invites

here are the handbag invites as promised, now that the recipient has received them to give out to all those being invited to a 50th birthday party..

the request I received was to make a handbag shape invite in green and gold, so went in search of a pretty green colour - the gold is slightly matt and not very 'yellow' or 'shiny' so it works well with the pale mossy green ..
the green card is called 'pea green' and is from Craft Creations and has green pearlescent effect on one side and smooth white on the other so needed a new blade when cutting on robo)/
the red card is from Craft Creations too and is red hammer card, the pink is from Cards and Scrapz.
the black and gold card was from stash

the flowers were made using one flower punch in one size ands using and embossing tool to make the inner petals curl, and then adding a glue gun made dew drop (coloured with gold alcohol ink) or added black pearl on the respective colours.
think thats it for now..
