 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!)

Hand-made Birthday present

I was remembering some of the Stampin' Up! events that we've been to together, Jenny was the first person to join my team, and I've been so blessed to have her there with me through so many fabulous events! Anyway I'm sure by now you're saying - get on with it Heather, let's see the photos!  So based on my ramblings, ...

 Hi there Creators, I've added a new video to my collection that I thought I'd share here with you too, (and the "still" photos) In the August to December "mini" catalogue there is this gorgeous flocked Vellum called Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper .  It's so pretty on it's own, but I really wanted to work out ways to colour it in too, so I've devised 3 ways you can do this, as I mention in the video I don't recommend using Stampin' Blends on the flocking itself as if you overdo it it'll rub it right off.   Hence my first method is using the normal ink pads and daubers, where you rub the colour into the flocking, Here's how it turns out: The second technique is where you turn the vellum over, putting it onto a dark surface and colour on the back using Stampin Blends (alcohol markers), this is how this technique turns out: And the last technique is to colour directly onto the flocking with Stampin' Write Markers, (very carefu...
