Flourishes Noon Time Challenge ~ "Inside & Out"

Welcome to the first of the Noon Time Challenges at Flourishes for Release Week!  Yippee!

For this "inside and out" challenge, deck out not only the outside of your creation -- but the inside too with a sentiment, some extra stamping, or basically, anything your creativity brings to life! Just make sure to share the inside and outside photos with us! (FLLCOCTRW1)

Poppy Thank You

For my card today, I started by creating a card base using Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock.  I stamped my large poppy image from the "Poppy Patch" stamp set using Memento "Black Tuxedo" Ink.  My card's sentiment is from the "Hello Hyacinth" stamp collection.  My lovely red ribbon is from the Flourishes 123 Create Kit "Rejoice" from our September release.  All of the lovely patterned papers on my card are from the Bo Bunny "Serenade" 6x6 paper collection (I just LOVE these papers!).

I coloured my image using the following Copic Collections today:

And to follow along with the challenge this week, I decorated the inside of my card.  Some patterned paper, a lovely stamped poppy, a final message and VOILA!

 

And I took inspiration for my card design this week from today Card Sketch #34 over on Let's Capture These Sketches.

Timeless Tuesday ~ Treat Time!

Howdy everyone!  Welcome to another fabulous Timeless Tuesday challenge at Flourishes.  This week's challenge, FTTC190, is brought you by the lovely Broni!  Broni wants us to create a card or project with a a treat as our focus.

So for this week I decided to make not just one treat box but TWO!

Treat Box with a View

 

I began by building my mini box (2 3/4 high, 1 1/4 width, 1 1/4 depth).  I decorated it with BasicGrey "Aspen Frost" 6x6 papers.  To cover my window, I used Flourishes Clear Cover Cardstock.  This will allow me to fill the box and for my recipient to see what the box contains.

My images include stamps from the "Sweets of the Season" stamp collection and the retired stamp set, "A Gift For You".

My little treat box even has a little pull out tag!  I used Memento "Rich Cocoa" ink for all my stamping and Ranger's "Walnut Stain" Distress Ink for all of my distressed edges.

And for my next treat box... do any of you Canadian's see a resemble to a box from one of your favourite coffee and donut places?!?  Yup... it's a miniature Timbit™ box from Tim Horton's!  This box is only 3 3/4 x 2 x 3 3/4! It would probably only hold 2 Timbits™!  LOL!  I designed and cut it out on my Klic N'Kut machine.

I took my little box and decorated it again with some BasicGrey "Aspen Frost" 6x6 papers and stamped images from the "Sweets of the Season" stamp set.

Got Sweets?

Here it is open to be filled some yummy treats for the holiday season!

I used the following Copic Collections in both my box creations today...
