...we're waltzing!

ED - Charmaine, I popped the die inside the baggie, and then ran it through the GC!

Good morning! Today I'm taking part in our monthly waltz!! it's a leisurely stroll around participating blogs and you can see who is playing along here:

Our theme this month is Birthday! and I am itching to see what everyone has made! Here's my project, hope it tickles!

I made a little tag pocket card and gussied up a repurposed confectionary tub to match, inside I can add sweets or a cupcake or some other small godies!

I used a glassine kraft pocket (Tim Holtz) to make my tag pocket, I cut off the flap and punched most of a circle into the top front and I thought it would be fun to trim out a little window with my Spellbinders scalloped rectangle die.

I stamped it with a little flourish from the new Flourishes Scallops and dots set. The card background pattern is stamped with the long border from Eat Cake.

The mini tag size cake and the sentiment also come from Eat Cake, as does the larger cake on the tub, I love having two sizes of cake, it means my main projects can always have a little matchy taggy! yum!

The tag also has some flourishes on it, and plenty of sponging! I shaped the corners om y tag with a corner punch.

Do you like my felt flower??? I was so inspired by the new Spellbinders release of their new fabby flower making dies that I dug out one of their scalloped circles, it was this one. I trimmed out a large circle and then cut a strip of the curved edge and wound it round into a flower shape, it's ok and I was happy with it for this project, but I can't wait to get my mits on the flower dies!! It'll take away the guesswork!! The felt leaves were die cut with a die from Spellbinders Foliage set.

Oh my wee tub! do you like the wee button knob? I got myself a wee hot glue gun earlier this week! How have I lived without it???? it's fab! I glued a stack of buttons together to make a little handle for the top of my tub. It's probably more decorative than functional, as the tub lid id very tight, but I thought it was cute!. I made an 'inner' for the clear plastic tub from some cardstock that I stamped with a big cake, and some flourishes. I really went to town on my big cake, I thew all the decs on it, the icing, the flowers and the cake band, ooh and the cake stand! but I did manage to keep them all the same colour! lol.

Right, gotta run and spy out what everyone else made!!
