I fold love into every card I make
Dear Crafters,
My kids helped me make some Easter treats to give to their friends for Easter on the last day of school.
These are only small, with 3 little solid eggs. The girls loved giving these to their closest friends.
I hope you enjoy making some of these Easter Carrots yourself.
You can also make these for any occasion, just change the sentiment and don’t add the stem!!!!
Happy Easter,
Dear Crafters,
Today I bring you another AWHT blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today our focus is on Easter!
If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion will end on 31st March.
When you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose whatever you like from our catalogues, but pay just $169 for $235 worth of product (that’s a huge discount!) but also you get to choose between two free product options. It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!
You have come to my blog from Tamie Holt.
Now let’s get into showing you what you can make with the Indescribable Gift Stamp Set from the Occasions catalogue.
For my projects, I have used the Indescribable Gift Stamp Set, and the In Colours Designer Series Paper Stack.
I have used Blackberry Bliss as my card base. I die cut the largest of the Deco Labels Framelits from the front of the card.
I used a piece of Vellum and stamped the Indescribable Gift image with Stazon Black ink and let it dry, before colouring with the In Colours Stampin’ Write markers (Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow & Baked Brown Sugar).
The next step, I used my Stampin’ Piercing Mat and the Simply Scored Stylus to gently go around the flower petals on the coloured-in side. When you turn the image over, you can see the white shining through where the stylus has touched the vellum.
I glued the vellum to the inside of the card and put a piece of DSP (with the same size die cut) over it to cover the crooked edges and make the inside more attractive!
I finished off with a coordinating ribbon bow and the sentiment from the same stamp set which I die cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.
I also made some cute little baskets for my girls to give to their friends for Easter from the same coordinating Designer Series Paper! How cute are they?!!!
These are only small and I cut some small strips of cellophane to put inside before adding 3 little solid eggs. I think the girls are going to love giving these to their closest friends.
Let’s keep this blog hop hopping. Next up we have Sue Wdowik.

Dear Crafters,
Today I share something a little different to the usual cards and Project Life creations. I received this little decorative window gift box from another demonstrator to come up with something special. So I got to work and thought about turning it into a different type of card, a card in a box!
Seeing as I had some leftover butterflies from a previous project, I thought I would use them on the top of this cute little box and add some ribbon around the base.
As you know, I love butterflies, and so does my dear friend who turned 50 last week and had her big party on Saturday night, hence why I couldn’t post this sooner!!!! Happy Birthday Lisa, this is for you!
You may have noticed I called this box a decorative window box? Well it did have a clear window sheet opening at the top but that was going to defeat the purpose of my little creation. Why, you say? well keep reading and you will see why.
Now are you ready to see inside? This is my favourite part!!!!
I used the Big Day stamp set with Strawberry Slush ink on Crisp Canteloupe card stock and added a small Itty Bitty Flower punch from the Accents Punch Pack with a rhinestone in the centre.
In the box is a cake made from a battery operated tea light candle. The idea is to turn the light on before you hand it over to the recipient, hence why I wanted to cover up the acetate window on the top!
The inspiration to make this special card in a box was from Terri Suzuki and you can find her tutorial on this by clicking here.
What do you think? Isn’t it stunning?
Here’s a close up with the candle turned on!
I also added some rhinestones around the top of the cake and the base.
I would love for you to comment below with your thoughts on this creation.

Dear Crafters,
Well, my in-laws arrived yesterday (and no it’s not a bad thing, lol, I get along very well with them. She is also a SU demo!). But I had to wait until now to share this little creation with you, as my Mother-in-law has retired after many, many years being a Business Manager in a school in her country Victorian town. I needed something different and saw something similar but there were no instructions, so it took ages to cut and score and put together!!!!
Anyway, here it is!
Can you tell it is a teapot? I sure hope so. My Mother-in-law loves her cups of tea, so what better type of card to make for her.
I am not entirely happy with the spout, as it was a bit tricky!
I have used Primrose Petals (retired) card stock and stamped Everything Eleanor with Soft Suede ink.
I used the Ovals Framelits to create the handle!
Then for the big reveal, when you open it up, you see this!
The Whisper White card is embossed the new Spring Flowers TIEF which will be available during Sale-a-bration, starting 6th January 2015. I have left one side blank, as that is where I will attach the written message (that you don’t really need to see).
I used the Spiral Flower Original die in Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple (r) card stock. The leaves are die cut using the Flower Frenzy Bigz L die with Garden Green card stock.
What do you think of this interesting creation? Something different, but I certainly wouldn’t be making loads of these, just for very special occasions and I think Retirement is certainly one of those!
Have a wonderful Christmas day tomorrow and a safe and healthy 2015!
Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration starts on 6 January 2015. If you would like to see the catalogue before then, I can happily mail it to you!
Please only request a copy of the Sale-a-bration & Occasions Catalogue if you are within Australia and are happy to purchase Stampin’ Up! products from me. If you currently have a demonstrator you already order from, please request a copy from them to be fair to me and the other demonstrator. Delivery will be towards the end of December.

Dear Crafters,
We Christmas is only days away and I have my in-laws arriving later today, so thought I would quickly share with you a little treat I have made for their arrival!
What better way to celebrate Christmas, than with some Bon Bons right? Well check out these little beauties inspired by Linda Parker!!!!
I even made the box for them to go in!
I have used Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green card stock for the box lid and base, and the Trim the Tree DSP Stack to make the baby bon bons with the Envelope Punch Board (EPB).
Each bon bon fits one chocolate Lindt ball…. well who doesn’t love a little chocolate at this time of year?!
I finished off the top of the box with the Spiral Flower Original die in coordinating card stock and glued it to the top!
Another one I have made with Pool Party, Smoky Slate and the brand new bow punch which will be available from 6th January during Sale-a-bration, and I just had to share it with you!
Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration starts on 6 January 2015. If you would like to see the catalogue before then, I can happily mail it to you!

Hello Crafters,
This morning I share with you some cute little gift ideas that I am trialling for the kids school teachers for the end of the year!
I got this idea from Pootles in the UK, but wanted to make them bigger with the giant tic tac boxes, so here we go.
The base measures 5-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ and scored on the long edge at 2-1/8″ & 3-1/8″.
The band on the inside is 9-1/2″ x 1″.
The DSP is 1/8″ smaller to decorate.
I stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set in Strawberry Slush on Whisper White card and punched it out with the small oval punch. I also punched 3 flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack in Blushing Bride card. I sponged the edges of all punched images with Strawberry Slush ink.
I added some rhinestones to the centre of the flowers after adhering them with a glue dot.
I tied a whisper white taffeta bow around the box to hold it closed.
