A CHRISTMAS CARRIER

The MINI COFFEE CARRIERS and the coordinating MINI COFFEE CUPS are very cute and can be used for all sorts of gifts.

I decided to use them to make this gift cup carrier.

I used one of the WRAPPED IN TEXTURE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDERS to add texture to pieces of Real Red cardstock and then adhered it to the outside of the coffee carrier.

Then, I adhered a length of 1″ SHADED SPRUCE ARGYLE SATIN RIBBON from the WONDER OF THE SEASON RIBBON COMBO and finished it with a loop/roll at the end.

Five stamped, coloured and fussy cut holly clusters feature on the front. I used CLEAR OF OF STELLA to gime them some shimmer.

TH ecarrier was finished with the stamped and die cut sentiment, some REAL RED WONDERFUL GEMS and a SHEER RIBBON bow.

The coffee cups are wrapped in pieces of ‘TIS THE SEASON DSP. One of the designs needed to be holly to tie in to the carrier’s decoration.

Using dies, from the WARM WRAPS DIES, I cut and then embossed the cup wraps. The OLD WORLD PAPER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER leaves such a great texture.

I really like the die that created the donut shaped pieces – I think I’m going to experiment with other ways to use this die.

I plan to fill the cups with Christmas goodies, like apricot and rum balls. Christmas in Australia does have the climate for hot chocolate or other warm drinks.

Now I need to make a few more for my Christmas table.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

LOVELY THANK YOU GIFT BOX

I love having lots of gift boxes on hand, ready to fill with goodies , for when there is someone to share my thanks.

A few days ago I posted a birthday gift box I made using the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY. I have used the same colours and products for this gift box.

This time, I made a lid using the second largest of the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES.

For the greeting label, I die cut two of the smaller dies, from the same die set. When they are overlaid the way I did, the end result is great – super happy with this little discovery.

I am really pleased with how this gift box finished up and now all I need is that special person to give this to.

Now onto an anniversary card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping and gift box making.

BE AS BOLD AS …

My daughters often ask if I can pick up some lip balm for them when I go shopping.

This time I decided to make a sweet and colourful little gift box to pop each one into.

And, I had to use the DRESSED TO IMPRESS STAMP SET!

The FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″x 6″ DSP was perfectly bright enough for this gift box. I have seen this style of gift box before but cannot remember who made the one I originally saw.

Featuring MAGENTA MADNESS and MANGO MELODY in the stamped sentiment makes everything pop.

The word ‘chap’ was stamped using the MAKE A DIFFERENCE STAMP SET.

A bit bling, from the 2020-2022 IN COLOUR ENAMEL DOTS, just to finish it off.

Do you think they will like their lip balm gift?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
