A LITTLE BOX OF LOVE

I recently found a tutorial for this little gift box on Caroline Helwigh Wright’s page, Crafty Caroline Creates.

It is amazing how generous other crafters are, when they freely share ideas and instructions … so, thank you Caroline!

Using the Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP and the Parisian Beauty Stamp Set resulted in this:

The box is a little under 2.25″ cubed.
The ribbon belly band slides off and the hinged lid opens easily.

I can imagine all sorts of goodies being popped in the box for a special occasion -chocolates and jewellery come to mind.

I’m looking forward to making more of these boxes and sharing them, with you, another day.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

mmm … Michele

Here are the products I used to make this gift box.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of these products through me. Let me know if I can help you.

PAPER ANGELS

I met many wonderful demonstrators at the Paper Angels Team Day. I had planned to post this on Sunday, but it has taken me a bit of time to figure out why the photos weren’t loading – the problem is now fixed.

Anna Wheaton and Bec Ross put together a great day of presentations and make and take sessions. There were lots of ideas and tips shared. We even had PRIZE PATROLS!

I’m sure everyone had an amazing day, just as I did. The product and project displays were inspirational – lots of photos were taken,

At the end of the day, I left with eight make and take projects, some give away goodies and many new Stampin’ Up! friends.

We also received a bundle of swaps.

For my post today, I thought I’d share the swaps I received rather than anything of my own.

I have the names of most of the wonderful women whose swaps I received (if you know the names of the couple that I did not have, please let me know).

Louise also shared the embossing tool she created for this card.

As you can see, I have been fortunate enough to have a collection of great projects, ideas and samples that I can share with others.

MEETING NEW DEMONSTRATORS

I have been invited to attend the Paper Angels Team Day today, in Brisbane.

The invitation was a lovely surprise from Bec Ross, who I met through the 2018/2019 QLD/NZ Demonstrator Council, of which we were both members.

As I’m relatively new to Brisbane and have not had any connection with other demonstrators, as yet, I am so excited to attend and meet new demonstrators.

I decided to participate in the card and 3D swap that will happen.

My card uses the Power of Hope Bundle and is a card I recently posted.

My 3D project was inspired by Julie Demattio (the Paper Pixie). Her mini milk carton gift box is soooooooo cute.

When I found a packet of Lindt Bugs and Bees chocolates, I knew what I wanted to pop into that small gift box.

The Honey Bee Stamp Set, Detailed Bees Dies, Little Ladybug Stamp Set and Golden Honey Specialty DSP were perfect for this project.

So, 10 cards and 10 Bugs & Bees Boxes later, I am ready to swap with lots of lovely new Stampin’ Up! friends.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

mmm … Michele
