Birthday Party Live – Project #3
At this time of the year, my thoughts turn to Halloween, Bonfire Night, Autumn and Christmas gifts. With Covid-19 having such a large impact on 2020, I have been producing many thank you gifts to my workplace team members for their help and assistance during these unprecedented times.
With this in mind, this project is a great gift to pass on your thanks. The outer wrap encases a small wine bottle – this one being a rose wine – and gives the bottle a more personalised touch. I went for an autumnal theme using the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the co-ordinating punch pack. The acorn punch and trinkets are just the cutest things and look gorgeous on the finished project.
To finish off the bottle and taper the wrap around the neck, I’ve used a piece of metallic ribbon from the Basketweave and Metallic ribbon combo pack – which is utterly gorgeous! Have a go at making one yourself!

Good Luck!
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
