Easter Bag in a Box

With Easter coming up, I thought it would be great to make some little gift boxes/bags for some Easter Eggs.  This little gift bag/box was made using the Envelope Punch Board.  I first saw one on Paula Reid's blog and it was created by Sam Donald.  This was one of the projects we made at my weekend monthly class.

This gift bag only uses a 6" x 6" piece of DSP, so you can make four out of one 12" x 12" piece of DSP.  It can fit a Cadbury creme egg, marshmallow egg or a few smaller Easter eggs.  Perfect for giving an Easter treat.
 
Materials:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink: Pool Party

Card: Whisper White

DSP: Sweet Sorbet(SAB)

Other: Envelope Punch Board, Small Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Summer Starfruit Ribbon, Basic Jewels/Pearls, Dimensionals, Glue Dots/Adhesive 

Have a great week and remember to come back tomorrow to see another card/project we made at the class.

Gate Fold Card and Gift Featuring Sweet Sorbet DSP

One of my customers was turning 40 so I thought I would make her a special card and a small gift.  This is what I created for her.

This is a gate fold style card using the Sweet Sorbet DSP which is one of the free gifts as part of Sale-a-bration.   I love the soft colours of this paper.  Here is a closer look at the card.

The gift box was made using the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch which is one of the new products in the Occasions catalogue.  I am so pleased I purchased this new punch as there are so many great uses for it.  You can make tags, bookmarks and use it to finish the tops of a gift box like I have done here and I am sure many more things too which I am yet to discover.  The twine I have used is also from another Sale-a-bration product, the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack. 

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Memorable Moments
Cardstock: Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White
DSP: Sweet Sorbet (SAB)
Ink: Pool Party
Other: Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Pansy Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Simply Scored Tool, Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelit Dies, Pearls, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, Pool Party Button (SAB pack from 2013), Tombow, Glue Dots.   
   
The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch will be one of the products we will be using at my weekend class this coming Sunday afternoon, as well as my weekday class next week on Tuesday morning.  If you would like to know more about these classes, please click here.

Contact me today if you would like your own copy of the Occasions catalogue and SAB brochure so you can see what wonderful new products are out there waiting for you.

Have a great weekend.

A box from one sheet of 12" x 12" DSP

Last weekend I had my monthly card class.  We had lots of fun making two projects.  We made this wonderful box and a then a sunburst card - very popular at the moment.  

This box was made from one piece of 12" x 12" DSP and required no cutting. The Simply Scored Tool makes scoring this box a breeze.  Thank you Tanya Bell for your inspiration on this one.

Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Label Love
Cardstock:  Black
Ink: Primrose Petals

DSP: Modern Melody
Other: Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon, Artisan Punch, Simply Pressed Clay, Button & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Moulds, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip.

Thank you also Paula Reid for the tip that this box neatly fits six Whittakers mini bars.  I made some more of these boxes in different DSP for Father's Day and learnt that six Cadbury mini bars also fit well - my husband, like me, prefer Cadbury chocolate.  This box is also great for other small presents.  It nicely fits a pack of three washi tape.  Lots of great uses for this wonderful little box.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back tomorrow and see the sunburst card we made.

Kids' Holiday Craft Class

My children are still at school this week.  Their holidays start next week, but some schools get a three week holiday are already on holiday this week.  So this afternoon I held my first kids' holiday craft class.  The children had a lot of fun and enjoyed making these two projects. 

Project One: Pen/pencil holder - They decorated their holders with some owls made from a punch, did some stamping and sponging and used the "Big Shot" to create some texture on their branches.

 

Project Two: Box - They were each able to make one of these boxes.  Once they put it together, they used stamps and punches to decorate it.

I am also holding a repeat of this class next week on Tuesday 16th July.  More details are here.   

If have a group of children (minimum four) who interested in making these projects, but are not able to make the class, please let me know and we can try and arrange another time to do it, at my place or yours.
