  Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show off these little Christmas Favours Boxes.  Rose came to class the other day with one and I forgot to take photos, but I think this is pretty similar, so cute! The link to all the products used can be found here:  Christmas Boxes products used (if you're reading this let me know if this makes it easier to see the products used, I usually put up individual links for everything but thought I'd try something new, and potentially easier!) Anyway onto the photos..... the front: The lift up flap at the front The Back And I wanted to show off the gorgeous little "Low Profile Sparkle Dots", not sure if it really shows up as well as it could I've just realised in all the photos you don't really see the box! That's ironic! so here's one of the box! Right now I can give you the measurements for the box! Really simple: 12cm x 12cm, then score in each side by 4cm. then cut as shown: fold in the flaps and glue togethe...

Cookie Cutter Santa Tic Tac holders

-
Hi Everyone,
I bought a box of tiny tic tacs from Big W a while ago, thinking I'd put some into the kids stocking pressies, hadn't realised there was 62 of them in the pack! possibly a bit of an overkill for the kids stockings 😁
So in lieu of that thought we had our Christmas community meal at church last night so yesterday morning I thought I'd make up the tic tacs into little Santas, as I was given one by Veronica Koenig at the Stampin' Up! Onstage event in Brisbane as a swap, and only save a couple for the kids - lol

So here are some of my Santas:
and a close up of a couple:
Aren't they just so cute?  I even got Josh (Mr 11 year old) helping me out colouring in the Santa's, although admittedly I was doing something else for him at the time!
Anyway they were well received at Church (the kids thought the tic tacs were great, adults were intrigued by the packaging)

Just to give you the measurements so you can have a go:
take a strip of cardstock 10.5cm x 1.5cm, wrap it round your mini box of tic tacs, and secure the ends together, so the box can slide in and out.  then stamp Santa, using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp set, Punch him out using the Cookie Cutter Punch, and an extra "person" from plain cardstock (I used Real Red and Basic Black)  Attach Santa on one side of your tic tacs and the other "person" on the other side of your tic tacs and you're all done 😊

Yay, Thankyou Veronica!
Hope you have been inspired to have a go yourself.
God Bless love

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
