Over the last few posts I've shared some small thank you cards and matching gift box to package them in. As promised, here is a quick tutorial for making the "pizza style" gift box. The thank you cards were small square cards, 4" x 4" and the envelopes sized just a...

Swirly Bird thank you gift box
Today I've got a boxed gift set of cards to share. A mini pizza style box with four thank you cards and envelopes. I've already shared these two cards with you. And I made another duo in Real Red, switching the reds and blues round within the images as well as for the...
Bonus Days
Did you get everything you want from the new annual catalogue yet? Since it only came out a month ago, you probably still have some items on your wish list, and I have some great news for you! For every £45.00 you spend in between 7 July and 31 July (before shipping...
Swirly kite thank you
I'm still working with the Swirly Bird set and made another thank you card to co-ordinate with this one I made on Thursday. The waves were repurposed as kite strings and some of those odd shapes I'd seen (lol) were the segments of the kite and the ribbons for it....

Affectionately Foiled card
Today I'm back with another simple card that shows off the Affectionately Yours DSP - this time, some of the pretty copper foiling. It doesn't show up so well when photographed straight on as below but if you look in the pic above you get an idea of the sparkly sheen...
Sweet Stack Interlocking Squares gatefold
If you're a regular reader then you may know that I've recently been taking my first year Acupuncture exams. My hubby has been really supportive throughout, including helping test me and making sure that I eat! So I made him this card (to go along with a little gift)...
