Spice Cake Top Note box

Here is the box we made to match the 'spiced charming' card. Again it uses the gorgeous spice cake designer papers. These boxes are really easy to make once you know how and they make a little gift look really special.

 

The flower is made using the blossom party die from the spring mini and the boho blossoms punch. Remember the mini is ending on the 30th April so if you love the papers or die you need to place your order now. 

Scallop envelop treat holder

This is the last thing we made in class, honest! Again I tried several different colour schemes before I went for poppy red and black. These little treat holders are easy to make with 2 die cut envelopes.

The other colour schemes were poppy red and crumb cake and island indigo, pool party and calypso coral.
In the classes where I feature a tool or stamp I try and give you lots of ideas onhow to use it so you have the confidence to have a play and get the most out of your punches and dies etc.  If you would like to come to a class just let me know, the next one is on March 24th and we wil be making a mini album using the SAB stamps and papers, what's more if you spend £45 on the day you get the class free and choose a SAB stamp set or papers free as well.

Scallop envelope purse

Hi, I thought I would share something we made in our scallop envelope class.  We made a lovely purse based on this tutorial by Monica, a very talented demonstrator. I made two different colour combos before I went for black and poppy red.
This is the one we made,

The flower is made using the party blossom die from the spring mini catalogue and an antique brad for the center.  I used the ribbon border punch and some black satin ribbon for the handle. We used a velcro dot fastener, slightly different from the tutorial.

My first purse used island indigo, calypso coral and pool party - very retro looking and the second one was poppy red and crumb cake but I decided I liked the black and red combo best. What do you think?

Everyday Enchantment DSP 6x6 handbag

Here is another project I made at Julies training.  It is a little handbag made with the sale-a-bration everyday enchantment dsp, this paper is beautiful, it's one of my favourite ever and it's free!
This little handbag looks complicated but it is so easy to make, it was designed by Frenchie and you can find a tutorial here just scroll down.

Isn't it lovely? The handle is made from calypso coral ruffled ribbon and secured with the new in colours dotty brads. The flower fastener was cut with the blossom party die, a new die in the mini catalogue, it is very easy to overlook, in fact I did until we used it at training, but its lovely. The fastener is secured with an adhesive velcro dot, not stampin' up, I love these dots and I am sure you will see them on a lot of things!
