I have a small but delightful team of ladies who are part of the Stampin’ Up! family with me. I wanted to make them a small thank you gift for Christmas using products from Stampin’ Up.
I am a little late in posting this and the video as Christmas is now 3 weeks behind us – but the idea can be used for any occasion – in fact I think they would make very nice shower favors – they can be made in the party’s color scheme.
I love to make 3D items, especially ones to put little gifts into. I was in one of the large local stores a couple of months ago and came across the handbag/purse size EOS Hand lotions. It is such a lovely shape and perfect for a gift.
I was not quite sure what I would do with it but I knew that I wanted to play with card and adhesive until something came about! Continue reading
I love to make 3D items and I love chocolate – so to combine the two is an extra special treat. I made a dozen of these little beauties for Thanksgiving lunch last week and each contained about 5 – 6 chocolates ranging from Ghiridelli Squares to Hershey’s Kisses.
I try to make something as a little thank you for those ladies who shop with me each month. It might be a card but this month I decided it was time for a little chocolate. I used the Ghiradelli chocolate squares, I think this is the 3rd or 4th projects I have used these, but the variety of flavors and the taste of the chocolate is sooooooo good that I think it deserves more than one visit!
Last week I shared my treat for the swap I took part in during the Stampin” Up convention last month. One of the treat boxes I received in return held 3 well-known chocolate squares and the box was so cute I decided to make some up for a dinner I was invited to last weekend.

When I was at the Stampin’ Up convention in July I signed up to join in with an ‘organized swap’
It was for a 3D treat holder and the requirements were that it should hold a treat and be an original design if possible. As I love to make boxes I knew that would be the base of my ‘treat’ but I also wanted to show a technique – after all I was going to be giving my treat to fellow stampers/papercrafters so I wanted it to have a bit of a WOW factor.
A couple of weeks ago I hosted my launch of Stampin’ Up!’s 2015 – 2016 Catalog. This is my chance to thank all my lovely customers for their support thru the year, they get an opportunity to see some of the new products and get their hands on their own copy of the catalog…………………
Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day. My own dear Pops was in the Royal Air Force for over 30 years and served in some areas of conflict over those years. In the UK, we commemorate the sacrifice of Commonwealth servicemen and women on November 11th (Armistice Day)
I encourage all my lovely customers to do show and tell and during a class last week, one of them presented me with these she had made for a luncheon for a club she belongs to.
I am currently at Stampin Up!’s annual Leadership conference in Orlando, Florida. I am sharing a room with two sweet ladies and it is traditional to exchange a gift. I always try to do something a little ‘special’ or unusual, this year I chose to do these treat holders………..
A couple of weeks ago wrote about these these little packets, since then I have had several requests for the ‘recipe’. Well there is probably a whole bunch of videos on the internet on how to make these but rather than trawl thru and post a link, I decided to make a video myself but in the video I used a Christmas theme.
