Gift box inspired by Debbie

Debbie Airey from my team gave me a delightful box as a demo swap - the original box used Fifth Avenue Floral and Great Friends & then she kindly taught me how to make one using Snow Swirled which is such a versatile set.

Well it's been a long time since I stamped on acetate with Stazon White & I'm very happy to report that I'm a much better stamper now - it used to scare me but no sign of any hand shake & the snow flake was a dream to cut out - thanks Debbie this is such a cool project.

Stamp set: Snow Swirled
Ink: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Stazon White
Paper: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, "Acetate"
Other: Scallop edge punch, mini glue dots, Tombow Glue, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

Debbie's original inspiration was the lovely Marelle Taylor who kindly has a tutorial explaining how to make this so simple but effective box HERE. She calls it the 7s box - I'll be back tomorrow night with another 7s box so until then...

Hate to say this but Stazon White & Stazon cleaner are in the Spring Mini which expires November 30th so don't forget to order some while you can.

Shaken or stirred?

Ohh it's 9 minutes until I turn into a pumpkin & I haven't blogged today - as it's National Blogging Month my mission is to blog every day!

I've been busy tonight cutting & scoring for my gift box class tomorrow night - wondering why did I say we'd do 3 projects instead of the usual 2 at my class. I must be mad more work for me!!

As I don't want to spoil the surprise of what we're doing for those coming to class, I thought I'd share this gorgeous martini/margarita glass Julia Leese swapped with me at the Auckland Regionals - she's even shown me how to make them for myself.

So this is one of the techniques that I'm going to share with my team, the WOW paperKRafters at our final get together - officially called "training" but we're going to make a few projects & drink a bit of bubbly & eat strawberries & swap cards from the new Summer Mini (which is now only a few weeks away).

So if you'd like to know more about being a demonstrator & you're looking for a small but FUN team & you're free on Sunday 29th November ~3-5.30pm why don't you join us. Contact me if you'd like to know more details plus check out my FAQs about being a demonstrator.

So Swirly card

This is the card I blogged yesterday stepped up & I really like it with the hint of red though it looked pretty good monochromatic too.

I used Real Red with the Old Olive & have used the wee matching star from the Priceless stamp set that co-ordinates with the So Swirly wheel. I have also punched the saying out with the large oval punch & mounted on a real red scallop oval & popped up on dimensionals. Now how easy is this!
