Lots of Layers and Faux or Real Stitching

Hi Everyone, it’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns.  I am so honored to be hosting this new challenge here on the House of Gilli!  I wanted to try something new for me so I picked Lots of Layers and Faux or Real Stitching.  I hope you have as much fun with this Challenge as I have had.

I wanted to try something new, so I made a cute little needlepoint box (for my stitching) and added layers with the cute blue and yellow needlepoint flowers and a little Gilli Charm.  I love the dimension that the different stiches on the box add also.

I seem to be addicted to Shrinky Dinks lately – they are so much fun!  I love to watch them shrink up and become so small.  I colored Tee Gilli with my Copic markers on Shrinky Dink Plastic. Then used my Grand Calibur and Labels 14 dies to cut her out.  About a minute in my toaster oven and I have this cute little Gilli Charm.  A few beads and I have a little embellishment to add another layer to my box.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for our challenge.  Be sure to enter your project above.  Remember if you use a Gilli in your project, be sure and post it at the House of Gilli Yahoo group and the Gilli Gallery on Flickr.

Hugs, Wini

Stripes and Bling Challenge

Hi there! It's me, Becca. Happy Easter!!!!! I hope you are all having a great weekend, and ready to start a new week! It is my turn to post my card for this week's challenge, Stripes and Bling.

Well, I had so much fun making this card for this week's challenge. I chose to go with some K&Company Julienne papers, so pretty. I paired the papers up with Fairy Gilli, whom just looks gorgeous is these dusty pinks, I think. When I heard the word BLING in the challenge, all I could think of was Fairy Gilli, too perfect!!! LOL.

I kept the card design pretty simple as I wanted to showcase the image and papers. I used some sage green ribbon to tie two large bows to either side of the card. I think it makes it look very feminine and pretty this way. I used lots of Recollection gem swirls for the BLING on the card. LOVE it!!

Well, that is it from me today. I will let you all get back to your Easter ham/pie/candy, etc. LOL. If you would like more details on my card, please pop on over to my blog. I hope you will join us this week for our stripes and Bling challenge. I cant wait to see what you all come up with!!! Also, pop on over to Stamping Scrapping and pick up one of these adorable Gilli stamps for yourself. You will LOVE them, they are too cute and super versatile. Take care, and happy crafting!!!
