 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 .....

 Hi there Creators, Feels like ages since I've done a regular class!  however not quite back to normal yet, February's class is on Wednesday 9th Feb 10.30am or 7pm, it'll be a $20 class for the 4 cards, with written instructions and envelopes.  Then March we'll get back to the first Wednesday of the month. So I'm guessing you want to see the cards? First up, you'll get to pick which card you make but essentially it uses the same stamp sets (Amazing Silhouettes and In the Moment) and the Soft Pastels Assortment.  Check out what I used here:  What Heather used Then this next card I've used the gorgeous Very Versailles, such a pretty stamp set!  Check out the products I used here:  What Heather Used Third Card uses this lovely spread of flowers from Blessings of Home Stamp set.  Check out the products I used for this card here:  What Heather Used And lastly I've used the Gentle Waves Stamp set, to create (what I think looks waterfall-like) howe...
