Mini Chocolate/Pressie Bag

Hi All,
  I also saw these on Angie Kennedy's blog and had to make them.  I haven't tried a chocolate in their yet, as I eat them before they get close to where they are suppose to go!  But I do think I will put in a little bag of malteezers, yummy!

How cute are they?
dsp  6" x 3"  score  21/2" and turn scoring 21/2"
                     score  2", 21/2", 41/2" and 5".  Cut the middle score lines and fold to make the box
51/2" white taffeta, placing ribbon just on the inside and taping into place.  Punch 1/2" circle and secure with brad to hold flap down.
Card:  dsp - soft subltels
Acc: Gold brad and ribbon

have a lovely day....

Birthday Box and Cards to Make

Helloooo,
  Two of sister's little girls just had their birthdays one week apart and besides giving them a little pressie I made this gorgeous box (sorry the stamp set is not available in Australia) and then cut all the pieces for them to make cards for their friends birthdays.  I used the same stamp but told them they needed to colour them in.  I cased this cute box from Angie Kennedy, been doing that a bit lately but that is because my study is now my craft room and I can look at a video and make at the same time.  Love it!

I coloured with ink and the water pens and made sure they were slightly different so the girls could tell.  The boxes are great as you can fold them down and send them away as well.  The last picture is what I put inside the box for the girls to do - interactive present, he he he.
Card:  So saffron, whisper white, dsp - soft subtles and basic grey
Ink:  Stayzon, various inks for the fairy
Acc:  flower brad
Tools:  Paper piercer and mat pack

Pressie for a Friend

Hi,
  A while back a friend, Angie (blog on side bar) sent me some bookmarks from convention and a cute card, so generous and so sweet of her so I wanted to send something back to her to say thank you.  But, do you realise how hard it is to find, that special something as everything is so amazing,e and I can never choose.  Well I found something so gorgeous and put chocolate in there as well.  I am making another with a slight change and will do a tutorial as well.

A box of cards and of course, you have to add chocolate otherwise it is not quite a pressie!!

The inside and the cards that go with it.  Sorry Angie, I don't have the 3 x 3 envelopes to add!

Just another couple of photos to try and show how cute the bag is.  Over the weekend I will get that tutorial done and share it on Monday.  Oh No! Back to school, how quick do the holidays go, they should be longer!

Chocolate Joy Fold Card

Hi everyone,
  As we know I have gone a bit silly on the JAI Challenge this week, maybe it's the holidays..... not really sure but it has been fun.  So I made two joy fold cards and here is my salutation only one:

I've never made a card with only words but I really liked how this turned out and I am so glad I have finally made a joy fold card.  If it wasn't for the challenge I still would not have made one, and would have missed out on seeing how easy they are to make.  I have the instructions somewhere but have moved everything again and can't find a thing!?!???!?!??!?  Don't worry, I'll do a tutorial later in the year.
Stamp set:  Eat chocolate
Card:  Not quite navy, baja breeze, whisper white
Ink:  Chocolate chip and not quite navy
have a lovely evening.....

Card That is Like a Mini Album

Hi Again,
  I promised my second card that is similar to a mini album and here it is.  So glad JAI had this challenge, it really inspired me to make these fancy cards.  I still have the circle one to make because it is not as hard as it looks to make!  You need to pop over there and have a look, or maybe Pratrice is just too good!!

love this paper, have had it sitting there for awhile, too scared to use it!!!

So one for a male and one for a female.  I also have another joy fold to show you tomorrow, no pictures just words.....
Stamp set:  Sense of time,  I use a quote and then cut it in three and put it on the different pages as I couldn't think of what I wanted to put on the pages.
Card:  Rich Razzelberry, certainly celery, chocolate chip and dsp - greenhouse gala and play date.
Ink:  Chocolate chip
Acc:  Ribbon
Tools:  Paper piercer and mat, 11/4" punch
