Gift envelopes

Want the perfect envelope for that custom card you made?  How about a nice holder for gift cards this Christmas?  Consider the envelope punch board...it's awesome....  http://www3.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133774

 

I have a bought a few gift cards this Christmas so needed a few homes for them!  I made a bunch of envelopes in varying sizes using 'All is Calm' specialty designer paper.  I love how all the measurements are on the board.  Trust me, it's a piece of cake.

 

First up uses 'All is Calm' washi tape and the tree punch (quite like the naked look)- and my fav linen thread.

 

 

 The Basics Kraft Stickers are neat (see 2 of the envelopes below).  Page 200 of the main catalogue and only $5.95 for 2 sheets of different shapes. 

A metal button with a nest of thread...

Again a simple washi tape background.  Meet santa's little owlie helper. 

I have simply used the Owl Builder punch, made him a belt (using Gold Glitz Dazzling Details for the buckle) and a hat using real red.  (NB:  the white is non SU enamel)

And another little helper.  LOVING the 3mm taffeta ribbon- below in Real Red. The quality is just stunning.

It's not too late to do some Christmas crafting.  Will be ordering next week so just let me know:  sally.robertson@email.com

Have an awesome weekend!!!

Festival of Tree and Endless Wishes

Here's the full reveal of my tags that I taught in my first Stampin' Up workshop last week. 

 

The stamp sets we used are in the holiday catalogue:

 

Festival of Trees and Endless Wishes. 

 

We used the scalloped Tag Topper Punch lots.  http://www3.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133324

Using the Tree Punch and for the background the stars mask (a bargain at $5.95 for stars and hearts or dots and stripes).

Couldn't resist a touch of 'Rich Razzleberry'

 

Thanks to the lovely ladies who were my guinea pigs (grin). 

 

Thanks for looking and please contact me to order or if you have any queries. 

 

Happy crafting...

 

 

 

An oldie but a goody!

Have had a bright flowery card on my mind for a while.  I put my silhouette cameo to work to make this sweet little flower pot.  The pot and leaves could easily be cut by hand and punches used for the flowers.

 

 

 What a lovely bright colour 'Melon Mambo' is.  The other cardstock colours are Wild Wasabi, Whisper White' and 'Crumb Cake'.

The metal buttons are gorgeous and add that extra touch.  Will be good for mixed media canvases and the like.....

 

Gold metallic baker's twine has been tied around the pot and a 'Teeny Tiny Sentiment' used inside the card.

 

Thanks for looking. xo
