Sneak peeks from convention

One of the highlights of convention is getting to play with goodies from upcoming catalogues and Stampin' Up! spoiled us with four projects that we got to make - all using supplies that won't be available to our customers until January (you could get your hands on...

20 days of paper projects – day 17

On to Day 17 of our 20 day series of projects using patterned paper (also known as Designer Series Paper or DSP for short). Today we’re using our paper to decorate a Mini Pizza Box. I opted for an image of candles on the lid of the box as I intend to put a set of 4...

Halloween Treat Bag

Halloween Treat Bag

Another Halloween project today and this is a paper bag for popping a little treat into. We used a Cellophane Bag filled with individual M&Ms but you could easily pop a small packet from a multipack into the bag. The Mini Treat Bag Thinlits were used to die cut a...

Spooky Night Treat Topper

Spooky Night Treat Topper

Orchid Window Box

Orchid Window Box

This treat box was designed to go with the card I made for my Mum a few days ago. A bunch of us go for lunch to celebrate each other's birthdays and I traditionally make a little treat box of choccies for the birthday gal. I used the same Berry Burst as my main colour...

Bright and cheery Mini Treat Bag

Bright and cheery Mini Treat Bag

While I still had the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits out on my desk from this project I decided to make a quick Treat Bag. They take no time to cut and assemble and are handy to have around if you need a quick gift when family or friends call unexpectedly over the summer....
