Hello all and happy Sunday :)
Happy Mothering Day to those Mums in Great Britain too!

This beautiful Spring banner is one of the projects from the Occasions tutorial Carol and I created. You can purchase it here if you are interested.
After many requests I will be running classes so you can make your very own one.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek :D

It's In The Bag

Happy Saturday :)

Todays post is the project for my upcoming class.
The idea came from a gift a friend gave me at Christmas time (Thanks Kathy!). I had her bag sitting in my work room and every time someone came in they would comment on it so I knew I had to do a class with it!

I went one step further with the bag and added four coordinating cards so you can give it as a complete gift or use the bits separately (It would make a wonderful Mothers Day gift!).

The goodies I used?

Retro Fresh DSP (Love the colours in this pack!), Starburst Sayings stamp set, Label Love stamp set, various punches and the neat Scallops Textured Impressions embossing folder.

Here's a close up of the cards ...

A Cute Mini Tutorial For Sale

Carol and I have been busy again and we have a new tutorial for purchase.

We've used the envelope punch board and new tag punch to create an adorable pocket tag book.
 

It's a great little gift, or handy to have on hand for your own needs. And it's ideal for a class!

A little book of tags for every occasion!

Sale-a-brate In Style!

Hi there :)

Doesn't the photo above remind you of Spring?

Back in New Zealand the tulips popping up in the Botanic Garden always signaled the onset of Spring for me so that was the inspiration for this card in a box project for my upcoming class.

I've used the 'Sweet Sorbet' DSP (one of the free goodies you can choose from with Sale-a-bration!) to cover my box and to make a coordinating envelope. The images are from the lovely set 'Backyard Basics' which have coordinating framelits so no need for fussy cutting!

 

I love how this card is so full of dimension yet it lies flat for posting!

Very Valentines

Hello and happy Monday :)

I'm finally able to get onto my blog and post about my next class. It will be in time for Valentines Day ;)
There's three projects - a swing card, a gift box and another card.

I recently had a poll on my Facebook page asking about a possible new class time and I had as many people want a Wednesday afternoon class as a Sunday afternoon class. What I am going to do is run a class on either of those days once a month and see what works best so for this class I will be holding THREE classes:

Wednesday 22nd January 1 - 3.30pm
Wednesday 22nd January 7 - 9.30pm
Thursday 23rd January 7 - 9.30pm

Cost:$20.00

Email to register your spot and remember if you're coming to a Wednesday class let me know what time slot!

Boxes From An Envelope Board?!

Happy Sunday :)

I hope you have something nice planned for the last day of your weekend. I'll be attempting to clean my work room (I know!!!) as it was left in a bit of a mess before I headed to NS.
Speaking of NS my lovely upline Carol and I have been working on another tutorial. This one is called 'Very Valentine's' so stay tuned!

Today I'm sharing another project from my 'Envelope Punch Board Basics' class.
It's a matchbox. The draw pulls out to hold a wee gift (or ummm chocolate). Isn't it adorable?
And to think it's made with the Envelope Punch Board!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek :)

Christmas Wrapping Covered!

Hello and happy Monday!

I know ... I haven't posted much of late. I've had lots of errands and last minute custom orders to get done so not so much time to create new goodies to share I'm afraid.

I'd been asked to hold a class making the gift card holders and wine bottle gift tags from my all day 'It's All About The Packaging' class so here it is. I'm sneaking it in just before the holidays!

I came up with two colour ways ... the red/green combo above and this shades of aqua combination ...

I am holding one class to make these projects and it will be on Thursday 19th December, 7 - 9 pm.
The cost for each gift card holder is $3.00 and the wine bottle gift tags are $2.00 each.

When you register let me know how many of each you want to make and what colours!

Thanks for taking a peek :D

Little Boy Blue

Hello and happy Tuesday!

One of my DD's teachers recently became a parent and she wanted to give the baby a gift.
I had a spare pair of sheepskin booties that I packaged up and made a gift tag for.

Here's the booties in the box ...

I made the gift tag using the 'Chalk Talk' framelits.
I cut out two tags (the second one is behind the first one) so my daughter could write a message.
Thanks for taking a peek! :D

Coffee Anyone?

Hello and happy Wednesday!

One popular gift at Christmas time is gift cards so I have included a couple in the 'It's All About The Packaging' class.

This one is for a coffee gift card (ewwwww, coffee ;)).

I've used the fun 'Seasons Of Style' DSP on the card holder that's made from the Pop n Cuts die.
It's wonderful when you can use something for multiple uses!

I stamped the coffee cup on Crumb Cake, Whisper White and a scrap of DSP and fussy cut the pieces I wanted to make up my cup.
 I LOVE reindeer so the little guy on the cup was too cute not to include (he's from the retired set 'Snowbuddies').

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :D
