A GREAT FRIEND CARD AND A SEVENS BOX!!

Thought I would pop in quickly to share with you what we did at my Spring Mini Open House on Saturday. I had a lovely group of ladies (and I forgot to take a photo!! I’m sure they will be pleased with that!). This is the card they got to make as their Make and Take, using of course, a “Great Friend”. I have used this set sooo much lately!!  It’s a very simple card and the variations of this looked great.  Some chose to use Choc Chip instead of the Celery, or stamped the Regal Rose leaves instead of Celery.  The little butterfly was stamped on scrap white card and raised up.  I think everyone liked it!!

Card: Baja Breeze, Regal Rose, Whisper White.

Ink: Baja Breeze, Regal Rose, Certain Celery.

Other: Scallop Edge Border Punch.

This is a little box I had made up.  It is a sevens Box and you can see how to make one here on Marelle’s blog.  It is very easy and so cute.  I stamped the butterfly in Baja Breeze over the box and on the inside, I have a cellophane bag which I stamped the butterfly  in White Stazon.  I filled the bag with some of the new Designer Flower Brads and some ribbon. This was the Lucky Door Prize for the day.  I’m going to have to make another one though, because now I have given it away!!

While I was at it with the White Stazon I stamped on this clear take away container with the Baroque Motifs flower.  I picked up a pack of these little containers from a discount shop.  They would be great filled with choccies!!

It was a fun time.  Any excuse for stamping together!

Have a good day and Thanks for visiting.  I hope you visit again soon 🙂

THIS TIME A 3D CHALLENGE!!

Ok, I’m a little behind in posting at the moment. Life gets a bit busy! I have shown you in a few recent posts dfferent challenges we did on a Cyberstamp weekend with fellow Aussie Demos. One of the challenges was a 3D challenge. This was set by the lovely Leonie. Go and check her blog out. She is one very creative lady.
We had to make this gift bag. It is such a quick bag to make once all the bits are cut. You need a brown paper bag with a base like you get at McDonalds. Now you can see all these demos racing off to McDonalds that weekend for their burger and paper bag! LOL
Now I just made a bag-A-Lope from a brown paper bag. If you are not sure how to make one of these, the instructions can be found here on Splitcoast. This is my creation. I did adjust the size of mine because my bag was a bit bigger, but it is a great size for some choccies and card.

Stamps: Best Wishes and More.

Card: Choc Chip, Whisper White, Old Olive, Good Morning Sunshine DSP.

Ink: Old Olive.

Other: Choc Chip grosgrain ribbon, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Brown Paper bag, Velcro Strip (to close the bag).

I love this little bag.  It is sooo cute.  I’m going to have to make another one very soon.  When I catch up on everything else!!

Have a good Day 🙂

A BIRTHDAY BOX!!

I saw this cute little box at Ness’ recently.  It is different to the Triangle boxes I usually make so I wanted to check out how to make one.  After much searching I came across the instructions for something similar here at Splitcoast.  I copied the base instructions to make the lid too but I made the sides of the top a bit longer so I could scallop the edge.  I used the beautiful Rasperry Tart paper to go with the Regal Rose cardstock.  The flower on the top I came across also at Splitcoast here and wanted to make one straight away.  I thought it would go well on top of this little box.  Here is how you make them.  They are crinkle paper flowers.  Aren’t they cute!  The button I used is not an SU one,  just one I had lying around and it matched perfectly.

Cardstock: Regal Rose, Real Red, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP.

Ink: Regal Rose.  Real Red and Old Olive markers.

Stamps: Best Yet, Short and Sweet.

Other: Wide and Large Oval Punch, Circle Tab punch, Scallop Border Punch, Mounting Tape,  Sponge, Red Grosgrain ribbon, Red button and pink thread (not SU).

I filled this box with chocolates and rhinestone brads for a lovely friend’s birthday that was yesterday.  I’m sure she won’t be looking today to spoil the surprise, so it is safe to put this here today.  I’m going to have to make another one to keep myself though.  I don’t think mine will come with chocolates though!

This is the card I made to match.  This is using the beautiful set ‘Thoughts and Prayers’.  It is a very simple card.  I inked up the branch with markers, sponged around the edge of Regal Rose cardstock for the base and I added a red rhinestone brad and red grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.

Thanks for looking.  Enjoy your day!

CARDS IN A BOX!!!

I have been creating.  I wanted to make a box that fits the standard A5 size cards in.  I spent a bit of time blurfing and couldn’t find exactly what I wanted.  A lot of boxes fit the small love note size cards in.  I did come across a box at scor-pal but when I put it together it still didn’t quite work.  So based on these directions I created my own.  This box fits 4 A5 cards and envelopes in nice  and snugly.  It is very quick to put together once I got the size right.  I made 4 cards and matching envelopes with the matching box.

This is the box.

And then the 4 matching cards and envelopes.

If you would like to come along to a class to make these gift boxes I am holding one on Thursday 25th and Saturday 27th June.  So let me know.  Check my CLASS  page out for details.
