#SHARESUNSHINE

So – I’ve been missing for a few days but for a very, very good reason.

We have just had an amazing swivel wall bed with shelves and a desk installed, in our second bedroom!

When Rob and I moved from Bundaberg to Kangaroo Point, we downsized from a large house to a two bedroom apartment. And, I lost my craft room.

So for the last year, I have been crafting on the dining table and have had all my supplies filling cupboards.

Now, I have a permanent place to create and store my Stampin’ Up!® supplies … and have freed up some cupboard space.

It is CLEI queen bed LGM01 and it is brilliant!

This isn’t our apartment but it’s a great photo showing you how the unit swivels around – desk by day and bed, for guests, by night. Everything stays on the shelves! And, there is so much space on the shelves.

That large piece of white, in the front, is the desk when it is collapsed.

We chose all white, just like this one.

So, I have been setting up my new crafting space.

I also bought myself a new IKEA Kallax 12 cube book case. Armed with my trusty screwdrivers, I managed to assemble it, and some sets of drawers and cupboard inserts, all by myself!

WOOHOO, feeling clever.

I’ll post a ‘finished’ photo once I’ve put everything where I want it to go.

I did manage to squeeze in one project since my last post – a gift box, using some of the soon to be released 2020-2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE new products.

The sunflowers in the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″X 6″ DSP are very cheerful; as is the BUMBLEBEE card stock – one of the five new 2020-2022 IN COLOURS.

I love the new JUST JADE GINGHAM RIBBON!

The sentiment is from the LOVELY YOU CLING STAMP SET and it was perfect for the goodies inside the gift box.

I like the way the JAR PUNCH can be used to make a gift tag.

At the moment, I don’t have anyone who needs cheering up.

If you live in Australia, and you know someone who could use a little cheering up, contact me and I will send it to you to give to them, as an almost RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS!

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping!

CHOCOLATE CHEERS!

Some people like to cheered up with chocolate and flowers!

This little gift box combines both – JAR OF FLOWERS meets two mini boxes of Smarties.

I think that I am going to stamp and colour three more flower bundles to attach to the other jars.

Love that there are Highland Heather Smarties in the box!

I stamped the jar image four times, in Saddle Brown Staz On, onto a piece of 2020-2022 IN COLOUR 6×6″ DSP and used the JAR PUNCH to cut them out.

I cut a piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock 4 3/8″ square and scored it at 1 1/2″ along all four sides. The image below shows how I trimmed the tabs. You can also see that I had started to cut the base of the jar, before assembling the box.

It was fun making this small box of cheeriness.

BACK FROM A SHORT BREAK

I have enjoyed the last few days, away from posts, working on other projects.

So, today, it’s back to sharing some Stampin’ Time projects.

I found a bag of mini Oreo biscuits – original and chocolate – and thought they would be great in a little gift bag of love.

Who doesn’t love a gift of chocolate biscuits (cookies)?

It’s lovely to know that the FROM MY HEART SUITE is still available in the January to June Mini Catalogue.

It’s not only Valentine’s Day that deserves the use of hearts and the colour of love – red!

I made this simple gift bag, that uses a belly band to close the opening, to hold two small packets of mini Oreo biscuits.

The LINED ALPHABET STAMP SET was perfect for the tag.

What would you pop into a gift bag like this?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
