Spiral Rose Tea Light Box

Hi everyone, this is the last project from the Spiral Rose class. A lovely little gift box: 


I found the instructions for making this box on Pootles Papercraft Blog and you can find them here. I just love her work, especially all the boxes. Here's a close up of the roses:


I hope you like these projects. If you would like to buy the Spiral Flower die, you can do so here in my on-line shop or give me a call on 07970 708348. It's only £15.95 and these roses have loads of uses. I'll be back soon with a different project. x

Spiral Rose Card

Good morning, this is the card we made with the Spiral Flower die:


I used Baked Brown Sugar as the base and Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple for the roses. I embossed Very Vanilla cardstock with the Script embossing folder but unfortunately that is no longer current (I didn't realise this until after I'd used it) I find these roses are much easier to make if you spritz them with a little water before rolling them up, and then use a hot glue gun. That way they stick immediately. Here's a close up:


Hope like this. Next time I'll show you a matching box which holds tea lights. x

Spiral Rose Gift Bag

Good morning, here are some more detailed photos of the projects we made in The Spiral Flower Class a while ago. This was the gift bag we made:


We took a plain brown bag and decorated it by cutting 2 banners from the Designer Paper Stacks (I'm still using the old style paper stacks) We then made 2 roses using the Spiral Flower die and a smaller bud by using half a spiral. The leaves were cut using the Little Leaves Sizzlets die. Here are some close up of the roses:



I'll show you the other projects soon. x

The other great bit of news is that Stampin' Up has teamed up with Becky Higgins to bring Project Life to Stampin' Up, in Stampin Up colours.


In case you don't know what I'm talking about Project Life is a really great way to make scrapbooking easy and affordable. You use page protectors which have been divided into pockets. Slip in your photos and then add decorative and journalling cards. 

There is no need for lots of expensive embellishments, and it's quick and easy so you can keep up with all those great memories.

Project Life will be available in the new catalogue coming out on July 1st. x

Cadbury's cream eggs in a clear box

Happy Easter to all of you. I thought I would show you these Cadbury's cream eggs in their clear boxes.


I cannot claim any credit for this at all. I saw these on Pootles Papercrafts' blog here and I just wanted to have a go. The colours used are Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Elegant Eggplant. The 'spiral' that the egg sits in is made using the Spiral Flower die. If you follow the link above you will get full instructions.


And a close up:


Check back tomorrow for details of my next class. x

Easter card

Hi everyone. This is the Easter card we made in our Easter class. for some reason this photo has turned out very 'blue' so apologies.


There was very little stamping on this card. We used the Petite Petals punch to make the flowers and one of the Itty Bitty Punch Pack flowers to make the centres. The Little Leaves Sizzlets die was used for, guess what, the leaves. The oval was embossed using the one of the Designer Frames embossing folders. Here's a close up:


And a close up of the bow:


All the products can be found in my on-line store here. I'll be back soon to show you the other products we made. x

Easter egg box

Hi everyone, I though I would show you this box of chocolate Easter Eggs which I have decorated using the Spiral Flower die. I just wanted to show you how easy it is to make something ordinary into something special:


Here's a close up of the roses:


And here's what's inside after my husband ate one of the eggs.... Why not have a go at making these roses yourself. They are easy to make and the die can be found in my on line shop here.


I'll be back soon with some more Easter makes. x
