Hello Everyone!
I do hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and Boxing Day. I am loving this cooler Victorian weather – I cant remember the last time I had to put a jumper on on Christmas Day! Actually I dont think I ever have before this year.
I thought I’d pop in today and share a little gift I made as one of my Secret Santa presents. I loved making this little project and love how it turned out.
This is the top of the box.
I’ve used the Tea Party Designer Series Papers on the top and then layered a scalloped circle in Regal Rose and a circle in Whisper White. I’ve cut the scalloped circle and circle using the Big Shot. The stamps here are all from Flight of the Butterfly and the awesome new Butterfly Punch from the new Summer Mini Catalogue.
I have found that when stamping with the Flight of the Butterfly Stamp set you ‘need’ a Stamp-a-ma-jig. The Stamp-a-ma-jig is one of those ‘must need’ tools and everyone really should have one.
Here is the box looking from the side showing a drawer and the ‘handle’ being one of the metal flower brads from the Spring Mini Catalogue.
Here you can see some of the drawers open and can get a better idea how it all goes together.
Once the box is completed you can then fill the little drawers with anything you like – for example I’ve put in some brads, buttons, 
flower fusion and flowers from the pretties kits.
You could also put in some little messages or notes of encouragement, some jewellry like a bracelet, earrings or a necklace.
I will be running this project as a class in February so please make sure you contact me and register for the class … more details will follow when I return from holidays.
Thanks for stoppin by
The completed box measures 14cm X 12cm X 4cm and fits the smaller stamp sets like the Sprinkles or Sweet Stems set.
Now I must say how in love with this project I am! It was designed by the very lovely Andrea Walford who is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Canada.
Pretty neat huh???
This first card is done using the dragonfly stamp from Nature’s Nest. I just love dragonflies and as soon as I saw this set I just had to have it! I’ve added a couple of flowers from the Flower Fusion kit and a clear rhinestone brad.
How great is this turtle??
Now I must say that being a Stampin Up demonstrator and getting to preorder the upcoming stamps is not only wonderful but you also learn so much! I wanted to find out if there was any symbology (see i even learn new words!) and there is so much with the Peacock feathers – some of it is good and some not so good.
Now the last card I made for this set is of a birds nest with eggs.
This great little box is 8.5cm square so you could use it for lots of different gifts and it allows you to tailor it for different peoples’ likes and desires.
Now I have made this for a special friend so I’m hoping she will like this little box and whats inside!
Here’s the gorgeous little Tote we made today – and complete with Chocolate Wafer Fingers! The handles are made from the 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon and inserted through Jumbo Eyelets inserted using the Crop-a-Dile.
Turn the Tote around and we have one long pocket.
I had seen this Convention swap card made by 
How awesome is this little bag?
A recent hostess asked if they could make something to give a gift for Easter in and I immediately thought of the treat pulls I made last year for the coffee sachets.
How cute is this ??
ast long!
Well I found these gorgeous little boxes on 
I really like to make little 4×4 cards – they are just that little bit bigger and a size I feel comfortable in sending as a card so I adjusted the measurements on the mini magazine holder template to fit 4×4 cards in.
