Girly Favour Tags

I ordered some gift tags from eBay as they were a bargain price, but I didn't look at the dimensions and was a little surprised at how tiny they were! Not to be defeated, I decided they'd be perfect for party favour tags and the great thing about using digital images is that they can be printed in any size!
I'm using nail polish as my favours so have used MelJen's Designs 'Nail Polish' digi, coloured with Promarkers and I've added some bling with tiny gems.

I would like to enter these tags into the following challenges:

1. MelJen's Designs - #231 Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
2. 613 Avenue Create - #93 Anything Goes
3. Crafting from the Heart - #40 Anything Goes
4. Sister Act - #78 Anything Goes

Pop-Up Box Birthday Card

A friend asked me to make a special card for her mum's 60th birthday, so it was the perfect opportunity to try a pop-up box card. I'd been looking at these for a while on Pinterest and was very intrigued by them. 
They look quite complicated to make, but are actually quite simple. It can get a little bit fiddly arranging all the pop-up elements, but they look stunning when finished. 

I've used the following materials to create this card:

• Papermania card, eyelet and brads
• Melissa Frances 'Classic Elegance' papers and pearls
• X-Cut 3D butterfly punch and Square Parenthesis die
• Sizzix flower & flourish dies
• Whispers ink
• Core'dinations Glitter Silk and colour core card
• Acetate, vellum and twine from my stash
• Damask Rose embossing folder from Cardmaking & Papercraft

When I'd finished making the card, I realised there's nowhere to write your message, so I added a vellum pocket to the back and made a tag insert to write on. I think it's actually a nice little touch to this style of card.

Wardrobe Stepper Card

I've been wanting to make this card for a while since seeing a version of it on a magazine website, but I hadn't got around to it. This week's challenge at The Crafter's Café Challenge Blog has given me the perfect opportunity to try it out. 

Our theme this week is 'Girly' and our sponsors are:

I have chosen the 'Playing Dress Up' image from Guylou's Inimitability because it fits the theme and my card style perfectly.

Guylou has to say about this image: "Playing Dress-up was inspired by my childhood when I used to go into my mom's closet and put on some of her clothes. I think all little girls have the desire to be like their mom. I surely did! My mom is a wonderful woman and a great role model. Walking in her shoes is a big challenge, but something I aspire to do every day." 

It took a bit of fiddling making the coat hangers from paperclips, but I think they came out quite well. 

I have used the following materials to create this card:

• Papermania card and brads
• Clothing images from Google
• Glitter glue and paperclips from my stash
• Indigo Blu stamps
• Whispers Dye Ink
• ProMarkers - Oatmeal, Soft Peach, Sandstone, Caramel, Burnt Sienna, Buttercup, Tulip Yellow, Mustard, Raw Sienna, Berry Red, Cobalt Blue, Bright Orange, Mango, Blossom, Pink Carnation, Fuschia, Tea Green, Mint Green and Pine
