More Party Gifts .....

This is another gift set I used during recent Parties.

This one uses both sizes of the Soda Pop Tops as the focal points. These work perfectly with the lovely Collage Curios stamp set.

The little bag on the right was created using the Fancy Favour Big Shot Die. I cut a Windows Framelit for the top and embossed this with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. Although the Windows Framelits were in our Autumn/Winter catalogue, they are still available to buy - you can find them on page 35 of the Spring/Summer catalogue.

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners and cut using the matching Framelits.

The gorgeous papers are from Twitterpated DSP.

Team Training Day - Dauber Box

We decorated a Dauber Box for our second Team Training Day project.

The papers are more from the Twitterpated DSP pack, layered onto an Island Indigo mat.

The letters are from the Morning Post Alphabet set (Main Catalogue, page 146). They were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out. This was a bit fiddly, but worth doing. They were then placed onto the lid using Dimensionals.

The little boxes are just right for holding the Sponge Daubers. They hold up to 25 and I found them in Tescos :o)

Team Training Day - Soda Pop Top Project

Earlier this month I held a Training Day for members of my Team.  Eight attended and we had a fabulous time :o)

This is one of the projects they completed. The bag design is one from France Martin - an amazingly talented Demo from the USA. 

I wanted to use the Twitterpated Designer Series Papers for my set (Main Catalogue, page 165), so used the colour combination of Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White - with touches of Island Indigo.

The bag and card are also decorated with the Soda Pop Tops (Spring/Summer catalogue - page 24. These were all squished using the Big Shot before decorating with images from the Collage Curios stamp set (Spring/Summer catalogue - page 24).

The background images on the bag were stamped using the Flowering Flourishes stamp set (Main Catalogue, page 121). The flower on the front was created using the Blossom Punch.

All the cards fit inside the bag, together with their envelopes. It's a lovely set to give as a gift and can be adapted for many occasions.

Would you like to join us on our next Training Day? It is scheduled for Sunday June 9th and is open to all Team Members or anyone who is thinking about joining us :o) Contact me for more details ........

Team - Make & Take

I have a very simple card to share with you today. This was the Make & Take we did and this month's training evening.

The colours used are Gumball Green, Melon Mambo and So Saffron.

The fabric is Twitterpated, which is not currently available BUT you will see it again in October :o)

The background is stamped in Gumball Green with one of the stamps from Everything Eleanor.

The leaves were created from Gumball Green Core'dinations cardstock and sanded just a little to give them some interest.

I wanted my ladies to have a go at using one of the new Jumbo Sticky Rounds to create a flower - you can see these on page 31 of the new Autumn/Winter seasonal catalogue.

The flower is very easy to do - you tie a knot in one end and place this in the centre of the Sticky Round. You then twist the fabric and press it down around the knot, continuing until you use all the fabric. Once done, you just peel off the Sticky Round and adhere it to your project.
