THE GIFT OF GIVING

I found a box of yummy looking petit fours and new I could make a lovely gift box to turn it into a gift for someone special.

Mr Kipling French Fancies

This is one of four different gift boxes I made on the weekend.

Today, my eldest daughter asked if I had something she could give to her boss because she has been so thoughtful and supportive – of course, I have something – silly question.

I teamed the gorgeous PEONY GARDEN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER with Petal Pink cardstock to make the box.

Then it was time to use the PEONY DIES to cut three complete flowers in vellum. These were each coloured using PETAL PINK, GRAY GRANITE and SMOKY SLATE BLENDS.

The ribbon is from the just released AUGUST THROUGH DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE. It is the 1.5″ METALLIC MESH RIBBON – it is, oh, so pretty.

Finally, the greeting is from the TASTEFUL TOUCHES STAMP SET and is cut using the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES.

THREE FLOWERS – THREE DIFFERENT COLOURS
AND, LOTS OF WINK OF STELLA
AND, LOTS OF TASTY TREATS!

I hope that Ashleigh’s boss likes her gift.

Totally happy with this project – what do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping and gift box making!

These are the products I used to make this gift box. If you live in Australia, you can order any of these through me.

HOORAY TO YOU

Happy Birthday!

I made this colourful birthday card using the HOORAY TO YOU STAMP SET that is in the Beginner Catalogue. There are great products in this catalogue and they are perfect for all stampers.

I coloured the balloon by inking up an acrylic block using Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pads on each third.

Using the same colours, and adding in Pacific Point, I stamped a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock to create a background layer.

The rhinestones were coloured to coordinate, using Stampin’ Blends.

I can’t wait to send this someone special soon.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

AUTUMN COLOURS

There aren’t too many areas in Brisbane where I can see all the gorgeous Autumnal trees that I have seen in other parts of the world.

The LOVE OF LEAVES STAMP SET and coordinating STITCHED LEAVES DIES made it easy for me to see those leaves today.

Oops, the HELLO piece is not straight – I’ll be redoing that!

I added a few of the Mango Melody ARTISTRY BLOOMS SEQUINS for a touch of bling.

The sentiment I stamped, inside the card, is going to be used a lot – it’s a lovely thought to send to someone special you haven’t seen in a while.

These are the two new products used in this project:

LOVE OF LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

LOVE OF LEAVES STAMP SET 153452

What do you think? Who would you send this card to?
