I had a ball creating this spooky little Halloween treat box for this week’s challenge.  Lawn Fawn make amazing box dies and this one is so cute.  I can see me getting lots of use out of it in the run up to Christmas!  BUT, we’ve got Halloween to enjoy before that 🙂

This was pretty simple to put together.  I cut the box out of SSS Fog cardstock and then used the circle die from Stitched Tree Borders to make an window (I put acetate behind it to stop the candy corn from falling out!)  I then cut the tree border in black and lined it up on the box so it falls in front of the window. I created the sentiment from Milo’s ABC’s which is heat embossed in white and then finished  off with a wee bit of Doodlebug twine in Beetle Black!

Bottle tags and more!

30.12.2014 by 4 Comments

In the run up to Christmas I always try to create something for the children’s school to sell at the Christmas Fair.  This year I gathered a few of my crafty chums and fellow mums to make some wine bottle tags and little gift bags.  For the tags I used the Cheers die from Avery Elle (had so much fun with this this year) and the little bags are made using the Lawn Fawn gift bag (adore this!!).  I pulled out a bunch of my favourite holiday sets and dies and we managed to create together about 50 tags and about 20 bags (which we filled with scrummy treats made by my mum!!).

Ok, I know I’m a bit early – it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet!  However, I wanted to share this little gift packaging idea I saw the other day but for the life of me I can’t remember whose blog I was on!!  Please feel free to help me out if you know!!

happy easter gift

I have a medium glassine bag inside filled with Maltesers (yes – just as many went in my mouth as in the bag!!) inside the folded pocket.  The bunny and egg is from the latest release from Clearly Besotted Stamps – Hoppy Easter.  Cute eh?

Thanks for popping by xxx
