Snowflake Soiree Gift Bag

Just a quick post today. This gift bag is made using one sheet of A4, I used whisper white as it is not as heavy as card stock and I found it made a better bag. I stamped all over the sheet using the snowflake soiree stamp set is Midnight Muse and Soft Sky.  

 This bag is quite easy to make when you know how and folds flat so it's easy to store. I watched quite a few tutorials on you-tube and adapted measurements to make this. I will have to do a little tutorial one day. 

Winter Frost and a New Year's Gift.

The Winter Frost Specialty DSP is beautiful and I thought I would show it off in this little card. .

 I made a matching envelope using the envelope punch board.  The colour scheme is coastal cabana and silver glimmer paper for a bit of sparkle. I used the Snowflake Soiree stamp set again. 

If you would like to purchase any of the Stampin' Up products I used please contact me or visit my online shop.
As a little thank you to my blog followers and to say Happy New Year here are my class instructions to make today's and yesterdays projects using the envelope punch board. 

Hope 2014 is a 'Cracker' of a year for you!

Happy New year to you all! 2013 was a tough year for me and the family, so I am not going to reflect on it but just say I am glad it's over. I am looking forward to 2014 and new beginnings, hopefully more blog posts as well. For New Year I thought I would share with you a little cracker and cracker card I made using the envelope punch board.  There are lots of tutorials out there on how to make a cracker using the punch board, I used this one by the very talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator Sara. I thought it was good because you can get four crackers from a sheet of 12" x 12".
Here is the cracker I made using the gorgeous DSP Winter Frost, snowflake soiree stamp set and the lovely snowflake embellishments. For the finished project I had silver ribbon wrapped around the ends of the cracker but it's missing in this picture I was waiting for some more to arrive, just use your imagination...

I also made a cracker card and envelope using the punch board,

Here they are together:

Happy New Year, Anne-Marie xxx
