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

I have spent a long time making sure I designed great projects, with some of the best parts of the Autumn / Winter catalogue – with plenty of kit options to suit all budgets.

Silver Sparkles

At this time of year my attention turns to desk top treats that I can make for my colleagues at work – and the treats that can go inside them. Chocolate and sweet treats are often the default goody that I reach for, but there are times when these aren’t suitable and other options are required.

Tealights are one alternative, especially scented ones. The ones I used in this box are different to the usual, they are 6 hour candles which means they are deeper than the normal tealights – fitting 8 in this box.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) used is Feels like Frost, a gorgeous returning fave from last year – both sides of the paper are lush, aren’t they? I kept the theme focussed around the silver of the paper and finished it off with the silver edged ribbon.

I think it would be a cute table gift as an alternative to sweet treats.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Happy Piggin’ Birthday!

Aww, how cute is this little guy? And that hat is just adorable! The inspiration for this little guy came from my daughter who is a huge fan of pigs. As soon as she spotted this bundle in the catalogue, she begged me to order it. With the numerous combinations you can stamp and die cut with the bundle, I just couldn’t say no.

The number of animals / combinations you can make with the bundle are amazing, so many different animals to create, which we loved trying to work out when we first got the set. I’ve been stuck in a Halloween / Christmas phase lately so tried to make this card for a different occasion – this one being for a birthday. The balloons, present and flower all come in the same set so it’s great to set the theme of the card as well as create lots of different animals.

My daughter went for Magenta Madness and Highland Heather as part of her card, which I think looks great together! What do you think?

What colours would you put together and with which animal?

Best Wishes,

Joy to the World

Eek! It’s October – how did that happen? The nights are already drawing in and the clocks will change soon also. Most would see that as a negative, but I absolutely love it. I love the run up to the events during this time of year – Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas etc. So I thought it was time I cracked out the foil and make some full blown Christmas projects.

Today’s is a slimline pocket pouch, a great size for small bags of sweeties or perhaps small chocs such as Green & Blacks. Ideal for table favours, part of a hamper treat selection or in the stocking on Christmas Eve.

The word ‘joy’ on the front is made from the dies of the same name using two different foils. The dies come with three separate segments to make up the wording, however I chose to only use two for this project.

And of course, I had to break out the Wonder of a Season ribbon combo and do the double ribbon bow tie that I previewed when I first got my initial order from the Autumn / Winter catalogue.

What do you think would fit nicely into this pouch?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
