Flutterby Hi

Teeny tiny projects are the best, they’re so cute and are really good for the craft supplies! This cute little book fold box was cased from Pootles, with some changes to the measurements and the design. It fits two mini Green & Blacks chocolates, one in each half of the holder.

Using leftover elements of my Wrapped in Christmas project kit, I made a contrasting Shaded Spruce & Real Red version. The ribbon is absolutely gorgeous and ties the best bows!

BUY THE KIT HERE

With the paper in the Project Kit, you could make approximately 80 of these as gifts. Or approximately 70 if you make the projects included both in the box and the video mini series!

I hope you enjoy this project!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Hexagonal Thanks

I enjoy making unusual shape boxes – anything that isn’t square or rectangular. I also love making big boxes that can house lots of treats and goodies. This box was meant to be a flat bottomed, tall box with a hexagonal top to it. However, when making the net of my sample, I got the idea to turn both ends into the same.

On my second version, I switched things up a little by using ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper to make a Christmas version. The paper is absolutely gorgeous and so many designs to choose from – I went for a Cherry Cobber candy cane pattern.

My most favourite part is the gold cord that I used to tie up the two ends of the box. I’ve always loved cord to tie boxes and bags together, it is so forgiving when tying bows and is easy to untie to gain access to the contents.

Which colour do you prefer – the Night of Navy or Cherry Cobbler?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Autumnal Thanks

Who loves Autumn and the latter part of the year? I know I do. The colours, the cosy nights, the lead up to Christmas. The Gilded Autumn suite is a great hit of everything that’s gorgeous about that period. With gorgeous copper ribbon, brushed metallics and leafy patterns, the suite screams Autumn before you even read the title of it.

Yesterday, on my Facebook Live, I showed this gorgeous bag. Ideal for thank you gifts, table favours or perhaps treat bags full of goodies. The ribbon keeps the bag closed by wrapping back on itself – no punch holes required. Which means you don’t have to tie / untie it repeatedly either – score!

The bag is a good size too, 6 inches in height by 31/2 wide by 2 inches deep. Plenty of space to fit lots inside. The paper I used on the sample in the photo above is Mint Macaron, with the one in my video made using a Cajun Craze pattern. Both are stunning designs, which is why I chose to showcase them in the way I have.

The fussy cut stitched leaf acts as a tag on the bag, whilst acting as decoration, it doesn’t take away from the gorgeous paper being used. The Stitched Leaves dies are utterly gorgeous and you’ll see them make more appearances on my blog!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Snowflakes One Sheet Wonder

SnowflakeOSW_Pic

Gotta love a One Sheet Wonder, you get to make gorgeous cards with beautiful paper and only use a single sheet of it, meaning you have loads left for other projects! The paper in this One Sheet Wonder is from the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP), it has gorgeous set of colours – nothing too traditional and looks almost inspired by the film, Frozen. Absolutely gorgeous.

To make this One Sheet Wonder, I cut my DSP into three 4 inch strips. Then I cut at every 31/2 inches down each strip resulting in 3 pieces of DSP ready for your card fronts. I backed mine onto a layer of Misty Moonlight and then onto a card base of Thick Whisper White cardstock.

Finally, I added a gorgeous sentiment using Balmy Blue Glimmer paper and finished them off with the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems. I’m really pleased with the results and have found a very quick way to make customer thank you card for any future shoppers.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Blends Gift Box

FloralPenBox_Pic

I am absolutely loving my TFI Crafty Friday Lives – it’s nice to be online, crafting with like minded friends sharing ideas and inspiration. Hosted on Facebook at 7:30 every Friday, I bring a new project and showcase the items used to make it. Yesterday, I made this gorgeous gift box which holds 10 Stampin’ Blends pens.

I was inspired by the amazing Helzie over @ SlimmandStylish.com who used the ‘All Things Fabulous’ stamp set during a Youtube Live. It was a set that I had skipped past when I looked through the catalogue and hadn’t really paid much attention to it. Then I saw Helzie use it and immediately loved the dimension you get from the triple stamping.

It’s an amazing set to use to make your own version of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and you get a different result every time and because they’re stamps, you can change up the colours as you wish. As you’ll see on my video below – I switched the colours round to suit the feature colour of the box.

I love it – and the box is a great way to gift a set of blends (or other stationery) to a friend or family member.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
