RILEY1011, Basketball Gift Box!

Hello, it's time for another challenge for the Riley and Company Design Team! This weeks challenge RILEY1011 is Hosted by Silke, and she's challenging us to make a gift box!

If you'd like to play along, please upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog and if you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY1012.

I made this Basketball gift bag using the Cricut Plantin School book cartridge. If you want more details, like sizes etc. just let me know in the comment section and I can put together a tutorial!

As you can see, I also used Basketball Riley. He's coloured with copics, and I used a ruler & fine tip marker to draw in the floor.

The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings set. I separated the words and punched them out with the word window. The sentiment and image are popped up!
This is the back, I drew in the lines with a black sharpie before I embossed it.

Make sure to check out what the other Designers have come up with, I know I can;t wait to see them! You can find links to all the designers on the right hand sidebar.

Have a Great Day!

RILEY0111, Birthday Surprise!

You can find Mark's Finest Papers Blog card here!



Hello, it's time for a challenge from Riley and Company! This weeks challenge is Hosted by Silke, and she has a fabulous sketch for you to try!

I used the new Gift Box Riley for my card today! This is really a great versatile stamp, because it can be used for so many occasions, like a Birthday!

I coloured Gift Box Riley with copics, and matted on navy then popped it up. The sentiment is from the new set called Everyday Sayings!

My card isn't square, it's the usually 4.25x5.5" card. The base is night of navy, with a piece of striped dp. The circle is daffodil delight cut with the pinking nestie & embossed with the swiss dot EF.

I bought this Fiskars present punch thinking it would go so well with this stamp, but it doesn't look exactly how I pictured...oh well!

Have a Great Day!
