NEW MINI CATTY, SPICE CAKE

Hi Everyone, the New Mini catty has gone live. the new Spice Cake range is really lovely.
I have used the fabric and large buttons here on a sewing box. I put the big buttons on the tin top and lined the tin with the fabric and padding.
My daughter was thrilled with it. I think her husband will be grateful that now she will be able to sew buttons on and do repairs, yea right, I can hear her saying. ;)

You can see the New Mini catalogue by going to the Stampin Up website. or Clicking on the catty in my sidebar.

Polar Party

I love this card. Using the Polar Party stamp set. I made this at Clair of Valentines, all day Christmas Card workshop. We had a great time. Chatting, eating and cardmaking.
Hope you like it too.

Faith In Nature

Another favourite set, this time from The Hostess Selection in the current SU catty.
Faith in Nature lends itself beautifully to water colouring. I actually used my SU Blender Pen, to pick the colour up from my ink pad and painted the colour on. I used a sponge to add the distressing around the edges and the new ruffle ribbon.
I am really please with this card and can see me making lots with this set.

Mocha Morning Cards

Hello everyone, thank you for looking in this week. I am very behind adding my cards as these have been made for 2 weeks.
Anyway the papers are from the beautiful Mocha Morning Designer paper pack. This set is so stroke-able as 4 of the sheets are velvet papers.

The butterflies are the smaller ones from the Bigz Die, Beautiful Butterflies.
I can see me making lots of these little square cards,using this butterfly as I have so many 4 x 4 cards that need using up.
Thanks for looking.

Tea light Boxes using Mocha Morning papers

Hi everyone,
thank you for calling in today.
I spend a good few hours yesterday perfecting my dimensions for this little tea light box. First I tried it in inches but it just wouldnt come together properly, so I re-measured my 3 tea lights in cm and this worked out must better. You should see the bits of card that I wasted on this. I can see me punching out flowers with it. I used Homebase tealights.

So for the base (to put the t/ls in), you need a piece of card 8cm x 17cm. Score at 2cm,6cm along the 8cm side and at 2cm and 15 cm along the 17cm.

For the outside of the box, you need a piece of card measuring 13 x 13 cm.
Score along one side at 1cm, for the flap to tape up, 3cm, 7cm and 9cm.

Hope you enjoy making these lovely gifts.
I used the Mocha Morning papers, which have some beautiful velvet papers.
these can be ordered from me if you don't have an Stampin Up demo.

thanks for looking.
