My First Class....are you coming?

My first class has got to be Special... so here is what we will be doing.

Boxes, Bags and Tags.... everything Christmas of course!

When we make a special home made gift like fudge, cookies, gingerbread etc.(oooh I've got my mouth watering), well isn't it lovely to present it in a very special way? These cute little boxes are just the thing you need. Place your goodies in a celophane bag (which I will give you) and pop them into these boxes for a Gorgeous looking homemade gift. We will make 2 of these. You can see a picture of these if you scroll down under "Tis the Season".

Then we are going to make 4 Bag-a-lopes, which are the simplest quickest thing to make when you need a special little gift bag in a hurry. I am absolutely crazy about this idea, I had never done this before I discovered how to the other day, and I am in love with the whole idea, and you will love them too ...... it's just so quick and easy, yet looks Fabulous. Get this.... they are made from Envelopes! Yes, you read that correctly, turn your everyday envelopes into little gift bags, any size, big and small, any colour, in a matter of just minutes!! Decorated, stamped, and ribbon added, they look Amazing.

Then of course we have to make Christmas tags to go with all of these.

So please let me know if you would like to join us.
Wednesday 26th November, 1.30pm, $15 all materials supplied (except the fudge) Maximum 7 people to a class, and only 3 spots left, so email me quick to book your spot. Or if you have any questions.

Hope you can come... its gonna be a hoot!

Tis the Season!

Just making Christmas cards is getting me right into the spirit of the Season, it is sneaking up so quickly, only 7 weeks to go! I think there is nothing nicer than receiving a handmade Christmas card from someone…. you know that person put extra special time and care into it …. JUST FOR YOU!

I created this one last week, it’s a very quick simple card, again using the Season of Joy set. I love the simplicity of Gold and White at Christmas, but didn’t have any Gold cardstock, so…… I used Saraha Sand and white cardstock. Next I used the River Rock Stampin’ pad on the background for the swirls, small flowers, and the three snowflakes (this colour almost passes off as Gold). Then, because I didn’t have a SU gold embossing pad, I stamped the main image into the versamark first and then into the River rock and embossed with Gold… worked great!

Always luurv to finish with bling, so with the 2 way glue pen, I applied dazzling diamonds to the background, added the Crystal Effects to the dots around the snowflakes and placed gold brads in the middle of each of them. Hope you can see this.

Also made the little boxes in similar colours, great for making a small gift look that little more special.

I hope you like?
