I got my Basic Grey warehouse box 2014 in the mail today so I thought I'd do my first unboxing video and show you what's in it! :) Enjoy.
Happy Sunday!!
There's a new Stamp of the Week at Unity Stamp "One Single Wish".
This stamp is just so cute, don't you think? I kinda made it into a shaker card by cutting a circle in the middle of the balloon and added golden stars :)
Here's a close up! :)
Have an awesome weekend!

Do you know that Cutting Cafe has some amazing files?
Like this pizza box I made for this week's Inspiration Time with the DT girls.
It was easy to make and on the cover, I've added the 3D paper flowers with some bling :) Isn't the dimension so pretty?
Inside, I made the two divider boxes to separate the embellies.
This box would be perfect for someone as a gift or to organize your scrappy stuff.
Have an awesome scrappy weekend ahead.

Here's a card I made using the KOTM 01/14 "Be your own kind of beautiful" and using the NEW #hashtagkit.
Isn't the #hashtagsentiment so much fun?? ;) I added some distress glitter onto the cupcake too for the extra bling!
I've also made another card using a past kit - KOTM 03/14 "The reason someone smiles" and inspired by the latest Unity {be inspired} color/sketch challenge. I embossed the sentiment with some gold embossing powder and then colored it in with some watercolor.
And finally, I made some stamped these amazing images from the current KOTM 06/14 "In Love with Love" onto some Project Life journal cards.

Have you heard of a card in a box?? Well, it's the trend right now and guess what? That's what we all made for this week's Inspiration time at The Cutting Cafe.
I've always wanted to make one for the longest time ever... but never got to it and thought it was too difficult to even attempt. Well, it's pretty simple actually!
Here's my "Secret Garden" card in a box!
It's pretty impressive if you present this to your loved one and friends, don't you think?
The kits I used are:
I've actually misted the flowers with some Heidi Swapp color shine (it's really shiny in real life - but my camera is not doing it enough justice!). I also added some liquid pearls and stickles to the flowers for that extra bling.
I've also added a pretty big bow on the front of the box! :)
So how do you actually give this card to somebody?
Guess what? It closes flat down! It's MAGIC!! :) Easy-peezy to just slip it right into an envelope!
These are so much fun to make - I will go make my next one soon! :)

So, just last week - I finally got my Copic Ciao Set B markers and I am estatic! More colors to play with :) And when I got my Ciao markers, first thing I did was to make my own lid labels.
So before I show you how ...
For those who are new to Copic markers, here's a quick difference between the types of Copic markers in the market.
1. Copic Sketch markers
2. Copic Ciao markers
3. Copic Wide markers
Images taken from the Copic store.
***
As you can see, the Copic Ciao markers do not have a label on their lids. They are the most economical - guess that's why we have to label it on our own :)
Fret NOT! I have the simple solution for you.
***
1. Download the Copic Ciao lid labels from Asela Hopkin's blog HERE.
Thanks Asela for the free file!
2. Print the chart out and start punching with a standard sized office-2hole-puncher!
3. Get some mini glue dots and stick it onto your Ciao marker's lid and ... this is the beautiful result! Pssst... I re-arranged them in their color groups too! :)
(At the time I took this shot, I couldn't complete labeling it as I ran out of mini glue dots.. haha! But you get the drift)
Oh!! And I also did a color chart for my markers too.
Here's the color chart I used - created by Ellen Jarvis (Thanks!) HERE.
Hope this post has been helpful for all Copic Ciao lovers :) Have an awesome week ahead.
