This is probably my last project for July, but definitely not the last thing I am going to do with Pixie July Kit "Midsummer Night's Dream". Every Pixie kit is fully loaded with beautiful papers, cardstock and embellishment, I don't know about you, but I've made a mini album covered the chipboard album from front to back, plus insides, and 8 pages, two 12"x12" layout, a card, a note pad and another project that will be revealed tomorrow and I still  have lots of supplies left, I probably going to make a few more card, at least one to go with this notepad when I send it as a gift someday?

I just LOVE this kit, and I SO LOVE the pack of metal charm in there

dangly birdcage card by lauren bergold

how ♥FABULOUS♥ are the girls' paperie "vintage whimsy" glittery charms that come in this month's pixie kit, MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM?a! well, my answer to that is an enthusiastic, "fabulous enough to build an entire card around!" see?

i literally planned this entire thing around that sweet pink gingham birdcage. i knew i wanted it to dangle in a window, so i used a nestabilities label die to cut the decorative shape in the center of my card, which i built out of a double layer of cardstock from the kit, to make sure it'd be sturdy enough to support the weight of the (heavyish) metal charm.

i threaded the charm onto some signature pixie dust seam binding, and anchored it in place with a plastic bead from the craft store. then i used my cropodile to pop a small hole in the top of the card, where i tied a bow, and used a bit of adhesive to secure it and decoratively arrange the ends.

i'm sort of pleased this card was made well in advance of its occasion... i don't think i'm quite ready yet for this bird to fly the nest! ♥

chocolate in purse by Zielonooka

Here is my next proposal how to pack a sweets, this time it is a purse for...... chocolate.

This is unique and elegant packaging, which you can give with a little sweets for a little girl. Additionally there can be hidden a little note with greetings or money, which this little lady can put it in her piggy bank or spend them on a dreamy toy.

This purse is quite small, it is 10 by 10 centimeters

Have a nice day: )

Celebrate card by Kandis Smith

I went a little card crazy with this kit--there are soooo many goodies, I couldn't help it! Here's one of them. I cut out some butterflies from the different patterned papers and adhered them to one of my index cards. Then tied the orange seam binding around it too before adhering it to the card. I topped it off with some letter stickers to spell celebrate! 

Have a wonderful day!

hugs,

Kandis Smith

garden photo tray by lauren bergold

have you seen the fabulous tim holtz "configurations" line of shadow boxes yet? i love them, and my favorite one is the printer's tray, so i was really excited when pixie-in-chief kirsty vittetoe said we'd be getting them in the pixie shoppe! i used my MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM kit... and a whole lot of photos... to fill this one!

the photos are of my mother's garden, and have been taken over the course of the last several years by the two of us. any time a particular section was looking especially nice, or a type of flower was fully in bloom, one of us would snap away at it! when i started working on this project, i made a grid in printshop (my favorite graphics program) and used it to size and crop the pictures until i had an arrangement i liked. then i printed them on photo paper and trimmed them to fit the sections of the box. (i've posted a bunch of the full-sized, un-retouched, photographs on my personal blog today, if you'd like to see more.)

pink paislee's "butterfly garden" is one of my favorite paper lines, and the "butterfly wings" paper that's in the july kit is utterly beautiful. i cropped a bit of it to fit three sections in the lower left of the tray.

my mom adores fairies--and pixies!--so i couldn't resist adding this pretty sprite from the "botanical gardens" paper. the tim holtz ornate plate is from march's FLORIBUNDA kit, and i've filled it with another photo labelled "le jardin 2011".

to balance the tray, i added another smaller vignette from the "butterfly wings" paper in the upper right, and affixed one of the lovely girls' paperie vintage whimsy trinkets. i must confess here that the lacy trim is my only cheat in this project. when the tray was "finished" i still thought it needed one more thing... i just didn't know WHAT. one day at my mother's house, i found this pretty trim in her sewing room and i knew it was THE THING!!! :)

i mentioned that fairies are a theme in the garden, and this one is my mom's favorite. she's featured prominently under the chestnut tree and next to the birdbath that is visible from the kitchen window. i loved this photo of her, and decided to use it as the centerpiece of a little "surprise" in the tray.

yes, it's a little accordion book with even MORE photos in it, that can be taken out of the tray and unfolded to reveal more garden beauty!

i built this little book on an 18" wide sheet of cardstock that i trimmed and folded to fit the 3.5 x 5.5" section of the tray. again i selected and sized the photos in my graphics program before printing, so i knew they'd look well together.

there are five photos on the front, and five more on the back. i hid a few basic grey magnetic snaps under the pictures to keep the book closed, and added a little bit of luscious pixie crinkled ribbon to tie it together.

my mother's birthday is in september, but i *think* she's going to get her gift early this year, because i CANNOT wait that long to show her this!!! ♥

Kirsty's Note -

WOW WOW WOW...... I bet your mom is going to LOVE this! Another brilliant project, thanks Pixie Lauren!!!!!
