MEETING NEW DEMONSTRATORS

I have been invited to attend the Paper Angels Team Day today, in Brisbane.

The invitation was a lovely surprise from Bec Ross, who I met through the 2018/2019 QLD/NZ Demonstrator Council, of which we were both members.

As I’m relatively new to Brisbane and have not had any connection with other demonstrators, as yet, I am so excited to attend and meet new demonstrators.

I decided to participate in the card and 3D swap that will happen.

My card uses the Power of Hope Bundle and is a card I recently posted.

My 3D project was inspired by Julie Demattio (the Paper Pixie). Her mini milk carton gift box is soooooooo cute.

When I found a packet of Lindt Bugs and Bees chocolates, I knew what I wanted to pop into that small gift box.

The Honey Bee Stamp Set, Detailed Bees Dies, Little Ladybug Stamp Set and Golden Honey Specialty DSP were perfect for this project.

So, 10 cards and 10 Bugs & Bees Boxes later, I am ready to swap with lots of lovely new Stampin’ Up! friends.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

FRANGIPANIS

Chocolate wasn’t the only thing I bought on Monday to make a gift box for. I found some very fragrant soaps.

I chose a lemongrass and lemon myrtle soap for myself and a frangipani and evening primrose soap as a house guest gift.

When I saw the frangipani soap, I knew it would coordinate perfectly with the TROPICAL OASIS SUITE.

The gift box was decorated with panels cut from one of the TROPICAL OASIS DSP sheets and I used one of the floral stickers from the TROPICAL OASIS MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK.

I stamped ‘TO: FROM:’ from the SO SENTIMENTAL STAMP SET and used the LABEL ME LOVELY and LABEL ME FANCY PUNCHES for the gift tag.

The lid was secured by attaching some DAFFODIL DELIGHT RUCHED RIBBON behind the gift tag.

I hope that our next guest enjoys their gift.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

FOR ALL MY NEW ZEALAND FRIENDS

I was shopping on Monday and wanted to buy some goodies to make gift boxes for. When I found an ARTISAN COLLECTION block of chocolate from New Zealand, it went straight into my trolley.

The colours and images of the packaging were perfect for a Stampin’ Up! ® project: Rich Razzleberry and gold embossed palm trees from the TIMELESS TROPICAL STAMP SET and coordinating IN THE TROPICS DIES, as well as some of the coordinating embellishments from the suite.

Everyone knows that chocolate is delicious; so a layered, die cut Yummilicious sentiment from the SO SENTIMENTAL BUNDLE was the only way to complete the gift box.

Now that I have made the gift box, I can try the Whittaker’s Hawke’s Bay Black Doris Plum and Roasted Almond Chocolate – it sounds delicious!

It’s tough work, but someone has to do it!

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.
