Secret Santa gift box

Tonight I have to take a gift for secret santa. This is what I have made using the Kraft box from the annual catalogue. Looks great with a bit of designer paper.

This is the top of the box made from the sticky rounds in the holiday catalogue and using the lace ribbon.
A very quick and effective gift for someone. I have filled it with chocolates.
Its not too late to order these boxes for Christmas . Good sturdy box makes a great gift for someone.

happy Birthday

Last week at one of my classes we made this Birthday card using the Patio Party dsp. I got the idea for this card from Katrina Criglington here. I didn't have the same cake stamp as her so changed to what I had.
I like this dsp as the paper has so much detail on it that you really don't have to add much to it to have a quick birthday card.

Secret Santa gift

Two weeks ago at our team meeting we did Secret Santa. This is the gift that I made for my recipient. Its a box made from the Top Note diez filled with Christmas tags.
I made the tags using the Tags die and used the Ornament Keepsake stamp set and framelits to decorate. Had seen this idea before whilst blog surfing.

At our team meeting on Wednesday we made swaps had to be something that wasn't Christmas.

I came up with this swap which I had made something similar in a class last week.

I made two versions of the same card.
Stamps:Serene Silhouettes
Paper: White, black

Ink:Black Stazon, Bashful blue, More mustard, So Saffron, Lucky Limeade,Old Olive
Accessories:Polka dot embossing frame,Sponges,Labels collection framelits

Polished Stone Christmas card

Last night we had our team meeting in Christchurch. Lots of new faces. We also did secret santa, swaps were WOW'ed and did a make n take. I demonstrated this card for the make n take using the Polished stone technique. No two cards had the same background but they all looked great.
i used Paltinum shimmer paint mainly because I didn't have any Champagne shimmer paint at the time I designed this card. But it still looked ok.
