Gift tin of Tags in New In-Colours

Hello crafters! Today I'm sharing a couple of tins I decorated last week using the new In Colors which are going to be in the new Annual Catalogue due out on 1st October. I've used Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple colours which go well with the new Snow Festival Designer Series Papers that I used for the base and dividers in the tins. I've had these tins sitting around in my craft room for over 2 months now and have been thinking of ideas to use them for. I thought these would make good gifts. Here's closer view:

 
















and the other tin:

 

Last year I made my own box using Rich Razzleberry colours and the same stamp set Tags til Christmas. I covered the box with Window Glass and decorated with the gorgeous Wide Striped Grosgrain Ribbon which I am so sad to see retired this month, so I've been buying up a few of my favourite colours which are in the Retired Lists here.

 I am so glad the stamp set is staying as Tags til Christmas is a fantastic set that requires no cutting out, as Stampin' Up! sell punches available for all the stamps!!!! Email me if you are interested in ordering any Stampin' Up! products. Remember the Retired list items are selling out VERY fast.

Lovely gift idea with Free Tutorial

Here's a picture of the Swap I designed for Saturday's  Tartan Stamper's Demonstrator swap. Do you like the new Snowflake Die from the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue? I love it. I also used the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack 126904 which is only £6.25 for 48 sheets. The designs remind me of all my past favourite designs, but smaller and different colours. The double-sided sheets are 11.4cm x 16.5 cm, so a perfect size for  for mounting your 6" x 4" photos into a scrapbook. Contact me if you wish to order anything from the new catalogue.

I have made up a PDF tutorial for the gift bag and drawers. If you would be interested in a copy of the tutorial, then please email me, to ask for a copy. I only ask that if you use it in any way, then you give the credit back to me.

Teabag gift

Showing the co-ordinating free ribbon reels and brads kit, available FREE (worth £15.95) 

this month of July 2012 only, with all orders over £45 (not including P & P)

 

Hello  there! The other day, I made a very quick gift for a friend. Each little box  contains 2 wrapped Teabags. The card colours were Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral. The co-ordinating papers used were the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, which are only available for one more week, along with the FREE offer this month of 2 FREE spools of ribbon and a FREE pack of Brads. The 3 little boxes were tied together with Pool Party and Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon - all Stampin' Up! products (other than the Teabags hahaha!!!). I'm away to keep working on some more Mini Albums for the wedding photos - I will share some pictures of these soon.

Cupcake Birthday

Hi there. This is a quick share today as my crafting buddies are coming over after lunch and I would like to try and get organised in my craft room.

It was Katie's birthday on the same day that Daniel and Anne were married just over a week ago, and because Katie has just moved into the house that she and Nathan have just bought, she has been experimenting with baking (her chocolate brownies are to die for - and she even made Gluten-free ones for Phil!!!!). She had asked for some kitchen scales for her birthday, so I thought I would make a cup-cake card with my fail-safe recipe and some pretty cases to bake them in.

 Have a great day! Thanks for visiting.

Backpack gift bag

Good morning. Well did you all enjoy your pancakes yesterday, because my family certainly did. I cooked hundreds (big exaggeration, I know!!), but they kept asking for more.
Anyway, down to business. I was busy the other day and had a practice attempt at making this backpack gift Bag. It needs improving, I know, but this was my first attempt (excuses! LOL!).

This was made using Pacific Point and Pool Party (I know - Pool Party AGAIN!.It was stamped with VersaMark Ink and the medium flower from the stunning Everything Eleanor Stamp Set. The Rhinestone brads add some bling for the fasteners.

Hopefully we can meet tomorrow again!

Valentine Share

Hi There! I thought I would show you the cards that Phil & I made for each other for Valentines Day yesterday. Phil is a closet card-maker I think. I was so delighted that he'd taken time to make a card for me and printed an insert with a verse he'd made up. He even knew to trim the insert. He punched out the two red hearts and wrote our initials on them - how romantic!!! The funny thing is - he isn't a romantic at all, so this was a huge surprise and extra special. I'd made a card in cherry cobler - another swing card using the Top note die and the special stamp set You are loved from the Mini Catalogue. The gift box was made using the Cone Die and I filled it with mini Chocolate Hearts.

Gift Handbags

I started another project and totally messed it up LOL! Anyway when I finally completed a card, I took a photo, then discovered this photo I took on Friday ready for posting today, but had forgotten about - ooops!!! Anyway, here are some of the bags I made following this wonderful video from Frenchie

I made the bags with some of my precious Mocha Morning Designer Series Papers

They are perfect to add a small gift for a friend. Aren't they cute?

Sweets for my Sweetie!

Evening all! As expected, I needed a day in bed to recover from yesterday, so it's a very quick post today.

I made some quick a simple Sweetie Treats and filled them with Valentine surprises for family and friends.

This Sweetie Treat was made using 124004 Holly Berry Bouquet Speciality Designer Series Paper for £11.50 for 12 gorgeous double sided 12" x 12" sheets. I love the Cherry Cobbler glitter spots. This one was made using a 10cm x 15cm piece of DSP.
