 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 there Creators Today I thought we'd delve into Faux Silk using the tissue paper that has sat on my desk for quite some time now.  If you're a regular viewer/reader you might recall a few weeks ago my UFO video where I used up a (sadly smaller than I'd hoped) portion of my unfinished objects from my crafting desk, and amidst the scraps was a piece of tissue paper that came from a pack of window sheeting, which I mentioned at the time I'd kept for this very purpose, finally I have used it! so.... here are the projects I made up with it: Here is the one I made up in the video, check out what I used in this card here: What Heather Used and this one I made up after, as a card to send off to my Mum  this one I've added some gilded leafing to and also a spot of heat embossing in gold around the label, check out what I used for this card here: What Heather Used , I have used the new Cheerful Daisies bundle  (such a great bundle)     thought I'd better show a cl...

Creating a Faux Stained Glass Window

 Hi there! In my latest YouTube/Facebook Video I showed how to create a faux stained glass window on the top of one of the new Stampin' Up! Kraft Gift Boxes.   These boxes are fabulous as they actually fit cards and envelopes in them!  Yay!, as I quite like to give some of my cards as presies from time to time I'm really stoked that these are the right size. They have a little window at the top of them, which is where the stained glass bit comes into play.... So how do you do this? Before you put the box together, using Black Stazon Ink stamp the image onto one side of the window, then use a black permanent marker pen to draw on the rest of the stained glass bits. Turn the box over, and on the opposite side colour in the parts with Stampin Blends (alcohol markers)  NB do not colour in the side that has the stazon on it!  if you do the stazon will run, and you'll end up with muddy colour. Pop your box together and viola one stained glass window effect. Just in ca...
