Acetate gift boxes

I've been making fizzing bath bombs for Christmas gifts this year. They're so pretty I needed a see through box to display them in.

I've followed the tutorial on SCS to make the smaller box & on my own blog to make the larger box. Just a bit of designer paper (candy-striped as it's Christmas) & a wee embellishment & done!

Stamp set: Spotlight on Christmas
Ink: Riding Hood Red or Pink Pirouette
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Candy Lane DSP
Punches: Scallop edge & scallop square

Other: Rhinestone brads, Riding Hood Red tafetta & linen thread

How to make money look prettier..........

now that got you attention (didn't it). How? - put it in a money holder (of course).

Stamp sets: Holiday Lineup, Spotlight on Christmas

Paper: Real Red, Baja Breeze, Real Red, Whisper White
Other: Blender pen, scallop square punch, 1/16" hand held punch, linen thread, sticky strip, dazzling diamonds glitter, Old Olive striped grosgrain ribbon

This will be one of the projects I'll be doing in my small gifts class in October so if you haven't signed up for My Monthly Newsletter do so now as it's so cute!

Thanks for poppin' in.

CIA report

Nothing sinister but it's the first event for my team the WOW paperKRafters and we did a Christmas in August event this afternoon and CIA is much easier to say.

My project was Dely's hanging Christmas cracker. Step 1 tear open last year's swap I received from her & make a template from it, well put like that there was a bit of sleuthing going on, then think of something easy to embellish it with in a very short time (quick in, as 10 ladies to do the project in 40 minutes quick). Which is where punches come in. I love that lots of SU! stamps having matching punches &  Spotlight on Christmas is no exception.

 

Stamps: Spotlight on Christmas, So Swirly (wheel)
Ink: Always Artichoke, Real Red, Baja Breeze
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White
Other: Real red grosgrain ribbon, large star punch, 1" circle punch, 2-way glue pen, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

Well to the ladies that attended today I hope you had fun & we provided a bit of inspiration as dare I say it it's only 117 days to the BIG one. I'll be back later with photos of the day & some of the other projects.
