"I Wish" Stationary Box

I am so excited about this one...

The Stationary Box was designed by Jackie Topa. I needed to make some changes to the box as AUS cards & envelopes are slightly larger than the ones in the US.

For this project I had Christmas in mind.

Using only 1/2 pack of the SUP! "I Wish" Scrappin' kit (pg 137) & a few extra pieces of co-ordinating cardstock I have made the box, 10 cards, 8 gift cards & 8 gift tags!!! Wow!




In these pictures the inside of the box is not quite finished. To be added is a pen holder, the postage stamp wallet & the "Wish List".

I looked at lots of pictures on the Net of how other demonstrators have used this kit in their card making. Special thanks to Lynette Couper, NZ & DsyLou for your inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my adaptation.

This Stationery Box would make the perfect gift for so many people ... the next kit in my "sights" is Sweet Nothings, it's such a beautiful kit.

Altered Teabag Box

I decided to clean up my craft desk & I rediscovered an empty Tetley teabag box. Now I love my cups of tea but it did take me awhile to remember WHY I had an empty teabag box on my desk....

Ahh!! that's right. I was impressed with the box itself, as it is a top opening self sealer.
I was going to pull it all apart to make a template but decided against it.

But what to do with it??
.... as it is the perfect height I can use it to store my loose Stampin' Write Markers in!!!

I decided I really didn't want a teabag box on my desk & I have all these lovely Stampin' Up! Designer Series papers ... my choice here is the Bella Blue papers. Using a couple of self adhesive (contraband!!) rhinestones & a small flower from the Pretties kit to add some "bling" I now have a practical & attractive storage solution. Even my husband is impressed :-)

If you can half decently wrap a boxed gift then you will find this an easy & pleasant craft activity. I'd love to see what others can 'alter' - perfect recycling!

I knew I drank so much tea for a reason... ha ha

New Mini Catalogue card sample & Spots

Did you know that the Stampin' Spots can be used for more than just inking stamps? The background here was made twisting my Rich Regals spots directly onto Whisper White cardstock. The colour combinations are endless.


These two cards are made using the new Parisian Breeze Specialty & Ski Slope Designer Series Papers, new ribbon, Scallop Oval punch & Oval All & Gallery stamp sets available in the new Mini Catalogue. We made them at the last monthly Demonstrator meeting. Aren't they absolutely gorgeous.



While this beautiful creation was made using Whisper White card stock & Riding Hood Red Designer Series Paper. You can see there are places for photos, letter or sentiments to be added.

This beautiful cupcake display is one you can admire completely guilt free ... Liz made these cupcakes from cardstock & Our Designer Series Papers ... aren't they gorgeous?!

even though my photography is a bit sad this littel card is happy! If you would like to enlarge the image you will notice that the lower half has a scoring feature. Can you see how the rolled & sewn cardstock on the right matches in with the ribbon?

Post-It Note holders

I must apologise for the crink you are about to get in your neck looking at this photo! I have no idea why it loaded sideways & I am too uneducated in blogging to correct it when the original was right side up... ??

Anyway, enough of my twaddle...

Please tilt your head to the right....

These Post-It Note holders are quick, easy & fun to make. You can start from fresh supplies or use your scraps to put together these lovely little gifts... what a great idea for teachers or to send to a distant relative.

If you would like the instructions on how to make them or if you would like me to show you how easy they are, just drop me an email or phone call. :-) Jen x

May weekend and Bookmark card

This is where I spent my May long weekend... it was pretty tough, but someone had to do it!

----------

Bookmark card

The idea of this card is a gift & card in one ....

slip out the bookmark gift...

& then you have bookmark & card!

I used Playful Petals stamp set (thanks for the loan Kate!!)
& Sincere Salutations.
Cardstock used: Confetti White, Old Olive, More Musturd & Ruby Red. Vanila grosgrain ribbon, Aqua Painter & Dazzling diamonds ... glitter... yah!

Surprises - Raspberry Tart DSP part 2

Gift Box Album

The hardest thing about the lid is making the ribbon flower on top! It is ok if you have about 4 hands, ha ha, or some paper clips would suffice :-) Then you open the lid & ......

Gift Box Album (inside)

Of-course it will look more impressive when I put the photos in! There are pockets, journalling slips, mini cards & enough room to put up to 14 photos inside ... this is the perfect gift!

--------
Below is a Pop Up Accordian card

I had a lot of fun making this as well, it is something I hadn't tried before but as I love pottering in the garden.....
... I made this special little flower patch to pop up & say hello! I have used the One of A Kind stamp set & matching Boho Blossoms punch, also the 5 petal flower punch. Again staying with the Rapberry Tart Designer Series Paper theme & co-ordinating cardstock, ribbon & inks.

Boxes and Card with a plus

Explosion Box Card (inside)

Last weekend I went away for a girlie scrapbooking weekend with my very good friend ... bliss! It was very relaxing & while I didn't get a single photo 'scrapped' I did complete these wonderful projects. I could not have achieved this at home - too many interruptions!

I chose to use our double sided 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper "Raspberry Tart" & colour co-ordinated with our textured cardstock... add some bling & wow! I am really happy with the end result.

Explosion Box all together.
--------
Below is an Origami box

This is really easy as there is no cutting, no measuring just folding.....
I have used the Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain Ribbon & an accent from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge set & Half Pearl from our Pretties Kit.
-------
& at the end of the weekend when I had lots of scraps left over I then made this
Serendipity Card

I then used the Priceless stamp set & white Tafetta ribbon & Dazzling Diamonds... I love glitter. By the end of the weekend I was covered in it!

I was amazed at how little Designer Series Paper from the pack was actually used to complete all of these projects. I had a great weekend!

So if you would like to see any of these projects up close then I would be happy to come & demonstrate this at your next workshop.
