Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show off the Suitcase Treat Boxes , I think they'd be perfect to gift jewelry in for Christmas or birthdays. This time I decided to decorate it with the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper , as I figured if I'm giving jewelry then it's likely to be for a girl, and this is very pink!🤣 Also essentials when doing this sort of thing are Tombow Adhesive , as it gives you just a little bit of wiggle room when sticking down the elements, the Take your pick tool , so useful for any projects but owing to needing to cut a small section out for the handle to poke through you can screw off the sticky end and and add in ..... Take your pick crafter tips 3 different tips one of which happens to be a blade. lastly I finished it off with the Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon (which is definitely still current having checked it!) So as you can see I ended up making a card to match with some of the off cuts that were...

Hi Everyone, I have the class cards sorted for April, although I have an extra, so I need your help deciding which ones to use! Class dates in April are Maryborough Saturday 1st April at 10am, and Laanecoorie Wednesday 19th April (owing to School holidays, there's no Bendigo class and the Laanecoorie one has been pushed back a week) Anyway......... Here is the line up: Card#1 uses the Tree builder Punch and Sprinkles of Life Stamp set Card #2 uses the Medium Star Punch and Marquee Messages Stamp set Card #3 uses one of my newest purchases! The Dragonfly Dreams bundle (stamps and thinlits) Card #4 uses, again one of my newest purchases! Special Reason bundle (again Stamps and thinlits) Card #5 (last one) this one uses a stamp set I don't think I've used in a while! Crazy about You, it has a heap of great words in it, so potentially if you didn't want to make an Easter card there's heaps of alternatives! So.... tell m...
My First play with Special Reason Bundle

Hi Everyone, well I thought I'd share quickly my first play with my new Stamp set and Dies, Special Reason Stamp set, and Stylish Stems Framelit dies (Special Reason bundle) With this card I have used the 2 flower dies to cut out from the face of the card, although I have to admit they didn't "pop" in the way I thought they would, I tried adding coloured card under them, but the only one that really popped was black and that wasn't quite the impression I wanted (black flowers - lol), so after stamping all over the card, I decided to daub over top of the cut out pieces, which seems to have worked ok. I ended up adding Vellum under the cut out's so you could write in the card without it showing too much. It's probably not my absolute favourite card, but it's growing on me - lol, what do you think? I'll try and find some more time soon to play with it again....... watch this space as they say I hope it inspires you to create God Bless lov...
