Sweet Treat Gift Box


My tutorial this week is this little gift box.
It was made to fit my chosen bar but you could pop
something else in there instead.

This is how it looks inside.
I sent these out to my December customers along with a
few other nice little bits.
These bars are low calorie, made with all good ingredients
and vegan friendly!
They are lovely, especially if you like meringue.

Sparkling Snowflakes!


Our December challenge has started over at
and this month the theme is
anything stamped with option favourite colours.

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs so be sure and get your entries in.


For my card, it was a toss up between pink or blue so I went with both😂
I used a stamp set called Sparkling Snowflakes
and my colours are called bubble bath and tahitian tide.
I randomly stamped various sizes of snowflakes in both colours
over the base layer of my card.
Some snowflakes were double stamped in light and dark versions of the ink
which gives a lovely shadowy effect.
I then went in with my 2 way glue pen and added spots of glue here and there.
Then I got messy and added my gold and silver flakes, rubbing
it into the glue spots for some added sparkle.
The sentiment square was die cut with a snowflake stamped in
bubble bath and the sentiment in tahitian tide.
I added a piece of vellum underneath with torn edges.
I wrapped a ribbon around the base, added the sentiment
and finished with a bow in bubble bath colours.

I hope you get time to join us this busy month of December.
