Gift packs & a card

I just popped in to show you my latest makes, I've not been good at blogging or making stuff, apologies. Here are a few boxes, that I saw with Pinky and made them representing my birthday cake, from me to my walker group, I bought some Mr Kipling brownie cakes and 2 of them fitted in so well. They were appreciated, as just a little fun gift. The photo shows a few of them, I actually made 10. They were made with a Craft Sensations Kids paper pad.

I then had to make a card for my God Son's son, lacking mojo big time, I went on to the web looking for male cards and saw a few candle cards. I chose a blue patterned card and went to my Silhouette and cut the rectangles, I then added dots of glue and added gold embossing powder on the gold bits in the card. Having a flame design in my files and using gold mirror card and orange card, the flames were cut too. They were 3D'd to the base card, and after they were added I drew a wick on each one. A piece of vellum was cut and I added a die cut sentiment.

Those wee packages are gorgeous Faith, and the card is wonderful - I have been fighting low mojo of late too, and often looking around and CASE-ing something is a good kickstart.
