I have a small, but precious team of Stampin’ UP! demonstrators and each Christmas I like to make a gift . This year I decided to make a ‘Flip-over’ calendar for each of them using the Tolsby picture frame from IKEA.
After I finished each of the months I realized that the design could equally be used as a card front, so each can do double duty!

Today I am sharing the December Bonus* project from Craft Project Central ~ a set of the most beautiful cards featuring the lovely Eastern Palace Suite of Products which can be found on page 19 of the 2017 – 2018 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog.

I have one more Christmas themed treat box to share before the BIG Day. As many of you may know I am an ex-pat Brit living in North Texas for a little over 16 years.
One of the Christmas traditions in the UK is to have Christmas Crackers on the table. In our family we used to pull them after we had eaten the main course and before we tucked into the dessert of Christmas Pudding and Mince Pies with either brandy butter or whipped cream.
I have said on many occasions that I love to make 3D items and what can be better than a 3D with chocolate! I chose to make them in classic Black and White then used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper which allowed me to bring in some gold and silver.
This would be perfect for your Christmas tablescape but change up the colors and you can have a treat holder for birthdays, wedding, showers, baby – just about any celebration you can think of. Continue reading
Treat holders – perfect for this time of year – a pretty way to dress up some candy bars to give as little gifts or to dress up your holiday table.
The finished size is 5″ tall by 2″ wide and 1″ deep so will also hold other little treats, maybe a lipstick or bottle of nail polish, a couple of tealights if you put them in sideways. Continue reading
I love to make 3D items, particularly ones that hold treats and even more particularly when those treats are chocolate.
In keeping with an autumnal theme I made these treats for the ladies who came to my one day Stampin’ Getaway in October, each lady found one on her work table when she returned from lunch.
While they look a little involved they really are very easy to make, to prove it I have made a video for you to follow 🙂 Continue reading
Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper was launched in the 2017 – 2018 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog, it has all of the new In-colors,8 sheets of each of the 5 colors – that is 40 sheets of 12 x 12 paper to play with!
At the beginning of June I held my new catalog launch where I invite all my customers to come ooohhh and aaahhh over the new products, do some make and takes (using new products) and get their own copy of the new catalog. As a thank you to them for shopping with me throughout the year and for coming to the launch I gave each of them a decorated pad of sticky notes (plus a pen) so they could mark all their favorites ready to add to their wish lists!

I love to teach and to share and I really love when one of my lovely ladies shares one of her creations with me. The one I am sharing in this, my 500th blog post, was from a class I did back in October and I share it with the full agreement of Kim, who created it.
We are coming up to the holiday season and gift exchanges. I like to have a few small, decorated items on hand so I can hand out to folks to show how I appreciate them ~ it could be my hairdresser, the lady who does my nails, the mail lady …. oh just about everyone.
Today I am sharing a Lip Balm holder with a video to show some of the details, if you have folks in your lives, teachers, co-workers, crossing guard, maybe you would consider making something for them to show your appreciation.
