Easy to make Mothers day gift

Today I have a easy and quick DIY gift idea for you (also fun to make with kids, and easy to adjust to Christmas or Halloween or any other occassion)

Supplies used:
 Digi stamp 1929 Hat  by Rick St.dennis
Deco Art Decou page Napkin, Decou page Crystal Glitter.
Deco Art Glamour Dust Celebration Pink Glitter Paint
Pink candle
Small beads in pink and lavender
Glass Votive holder

Step 1: Colour the digital image and cut it out, adhere the image to the votive holder using Deco pauge napkin and let dry.

Step 2:  Add a layer of Decoupage Crystal glitter over the entire surface of the votive holder, I added 2 layers, make sure to let it dry before adding the second layer. This gives the votive holder a frosted look. The Glitter doesn't show very well in the picture but it looks very nice in real life.

Step 3: add Celebration Pink glitter paint on the edge of the votive holder and let dry.

Step 4: poor the beads in the votive holder and put the candle in, also see picture below

And that's it, now you only need to gift wrap it is a nice way and your little gifty is ready.

Here some more pictures

This idea can also be used for all kinds of others themes, use different colours and a Christmas or Halloween themed digi and voila, you have some nice decoration or gift.

Some exciting news too, the challenges will start again at Rick's Sparkle and Glitter blog, first challenge starts may 13, and we are kicking off with a blog hop so go check the link here and follow the blog so you won't miss anything (there are prizes to be won)

mothersday gift

Here's a mothersday gift idea, easy and fun to make. I used 2 bottles of bath salt, a piece of soap, a scented candle and a box (which was a box that used to have a baby photoframe in it, I got it from a friend. I 've got all my friends and family trained to ask me if I can use things first,  before they throw it in the bin LOL)

The box was mint green allready so just had to decorate it a bit.

I used mint green and pink patterned paper and a die cut to decorate the box and the bottles, the soap was put into an organza giftbag and had a tag attached to it.

The digi's used are all Rick St. Dennis gorgeous hat ladies, I love colouring these ladies, and for this project I used the colours of the soapies, the candle and the box.
 So just used pink, purple, mintgreen, and ofcourse skin colour and some different colours for the hair. Colouring the hair is my fav part to colour on these ladies, specially the red hair, cause I think blond is more difficult to colour. The part I have the most trouble with is the make up of the ladies. (BTW you can find all the beautiful ladies I used on a special sale on the Sparkle and Glitter blog, so you'd better run and go and get it , cause it will be there for a limited time)

When they are all coloured, cut them out and glued them to the bottles, the candle, the tag and the box. Added some lace to the bottles and the tag. The box has also some roses and Pearls on it.

 

 

 

remember these 5 hat lady images are on a speciale sale for a limited time here

Mothersday gift

 Here a little easy to make gift idea, this one is for mothers day but I think it can be changed for any kind of gift, just change the digi.

The heart shaped box of chocolates had a sticker on it with the name of the chocolates, I removed that first. Pinted out the Rick St. Dennis MFA digi heart (which is available for only a limeted period of time on the Sparkle and Glitter Blog for
only 1.50 $), one big heart to put on the lid of the box and small ones to put on each chocolate.

Now you can cheat of course and colour the big heart first, then scan and print it smaller to put on the chocolates, but I chose to colour them all. Which was a bit hard cause they are so very small. Just sharpen your pencils very sharp and the colouring can be done (I don't have markers, but if you want to use markers, you might want to use the cheating methode cause maybe markers nibs are to big).
It's easy when finished colouring just cut the hearts out and glue the big heart on the lid and the small ones on the chocolate.

very simple but I like the result
