September class by post – Gold and Red Gift box

This is super-quick to put together and would make a fabulous gift for someone this Christmas. The pizza boxes are food safe too, so you could fill it with chocolates or cookies, for a yummy treat. Assemble the Pizza box and glue the Plush Vellum square to the top of the lid. Add your decoration to the centre. I stamped the Poinsettia Petal stamps on Real Red card using versamark ink and then used Gold heat embossing powder to give a luxurious effect. The flower was cut out using the coordinating Poinsettia dies, and put together with foam pads [...]

CASE challenge 9 – teeny gift bags

Aren't these teeny gift bags the cutest?! This week we're casing the lovely Andrea Gutzmer, check out the info here. I just love her teeny bags using DSP and cardstock for little sweetie pouches. I decided to make my version a little smaller, as I had some Fererro Rochers just crying out for cute packaging. I also decided to use coordinating cardstock for by bottom half rather than white, as I wanted a nice contrast with the Designer Series Paper top. I started with the Frosted Floral Speciality DSP and selected Blackberry Bliss and Powder Pink as my coordinating colours [...]

Box of cards to cheer up a friend

Last weekend I held a team event with my awesome Stampin' Starlets to show them my new home. It was fabulous catching up with them as it's been a while since I've seen many of them. One of my friends couldn't make it as she ended up unexpectedly in hospital, and she was much missed by the whole group. To show her how much we love and miss her, I suggested that we all make a mini card and write a little note of encouragement inside. We had great fun making 3"x3" cards, using the "Thinking of You" sentiment [...]

New ink pad storage

I'm really pleased with my latest creation! When Stampin' Up! changed the design of their ink pad, I knew I wanted to find a new storage solution. The new-style pads still fit loosely in the carousel, but I don't really have space for it on my desk any more, and I wanted to keep the inks close to hand. There are some amazing ink pad storage units that you can buy online, but given our recent house move I don't really have the budget for anything too fancy, so I decided to just make something myself! I had some foam [...]
