Cute Little Tealight holder

Hello all!

Wow! What a wonderful weekend I have had! In case you missed it, I was at the Stampin' Up! European Convention in Manchester, and I met so many fantastic demos, made some great friends, and learnt a lot!

One of the best classes I took was the class on how to use My Digital Studio. I must admit, I am not really a whizz with technology, but I will now be using MDS an awful lot more! 

Anyway, one of the highlights of Convention is the swapping that goes on. If you don't know, we each make a number of items, such as small trinkets, cards, etc, and we swap with each other so as to gain inspiration and more ideas. I would like to thank everyone who swapped with me...I got some absolute beauties and a tonne of inspiration!
 So I would like to show you what I made for my swaps. Although it would seem that I don't actually have a picture of them, but I do have a video for you to see what I made, and how!

This is what you will need for this project...

4in x 4in piece of card or DSP

Label Love bundle

Bermuda Bay ink

Envelope Punch Board

Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon

Small hole punch

I hope you enjoy the tutorial, and that you find it useful. Oh, and what do you think of my new Youtube header? I created it on MDS!

Goodnight!

Mini chocolate treat box

Good morning!

Have you had a good weekend? I have had a busy one making lots of commission cards, but I did have time to make a little video tutorial on how to make this cute little table gift, perfect for wedding favours, Christmas Day, birthdays, etc.

I have used Eastern Elegance DSP for my box.

Here is my video...

I hope you found that useful, and enjoy making your own little choccy boxes!

C6 Box Envelope for UK sized cards!

Good morning!

Did you see my midnight post? If you did, you'll know all about the brilliant new Envelope Punch board. I promised to show you a fab project using this wonderfully versatile tool, and here it is.

This box envelope is the perfect size for UK standard C6 envelopes and cards.

I made these 4 cards to fit in mine, with 4 envelopes, but I reckon it would take 6, depending how much embellishment you put on them.

I have kept them quite simple and along the same theme, but they are very classy and elegant I think.
