Christmas Box Set

Here is the Christmas Box Set using the one sheet wonder (from Rachel Knight) that we made at class last week.  Everyone loved it so much that they all wanted to make another set.  It was a perfect choice for Christmas cards.  Remember, I showed you a sneak peek over a week ago so here is the whole set, complete with a gift box.  It would make a lovely gift.

The new Catalogue comes out on 1 September and the retiring list is out now.  This stamp set is retiring so if you want to order it, contact me before it sells out.  There are already a few
items that have have sold out, so be quick. 

Stampin’ Up! have modified the Classic Inkpads and changed the surface of the pad so that stamps get a better ink coverage which means your stamped image will look nicer, which is why the existing stamp pads are all on the retired list.

Supplies Used

Stamps:  Season of Joy, Curly Cute and Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Basic Grey

Ribbon:  5/8" (1.6 cm) Satin Ribbon in Old Olive and Bakers Twine in Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock:  Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Basic Grey

Punches:  Scallop Trim Border

Embellishments:  Dazzling Diamonds

A Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of what we will be making at the next class.  I will show the actual project once we have had the class, so make sure you come back and visit at the end of July.   If you are interested in attending this class, then please send me an email.

Thanks and have a great day

Gift Card Holder

This little gift card holder is just perfect for those people who have everything and best pressie to buy them is a gift card so they can choose their own present.  Very quick to whip up a few of these and you get two gift cards out of one sheet of A4 cardstock.

Cut a sheet of A4 cardstock in half.
Score at 4.5 cm, 13 cm and 21.5 cm. 
Fold on score lines.
Punch a 1/2 circle on the right of the bottom square (so that you can pull the gift card out). 
Adhere with sticky strip on the bottom square on the left and top edges to create a pocket for the gift card.
Embellish.
