Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiment Spring Chocolate Boxes

 Afternoon All!

Spring is definitely in the air here in the UK, so I thought I'd share this little Spring/Easter 'One Page Wonder' project with you.

These Matchbox style gift boxes can easily be made from one sheet of double sided 12x12 paper. I used Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments to make these projects that are perfect for filling with little Easter Chocolates. They measure 4 1/4 x 3 inches and are one inch deep. All the instructions are on my video.

Hope you like them!

Mintay Blossom Serenity Gift Pouch



Hi Everyone!

This little project is really fun to make!

I was lucky enough to be one of the winners in the Mintay Papers February challenge where I received a very generous 10 kg box of their lovely products.

One of the items was the latest Blossom Serenity collection and these were my first makes using them.

These pouches are the perfect way to give someone a little treat, along with a gift voucher or special note. They are easy to make, and even more fun to decorate. I hope you enjoy the video and manage to make some yourselves!

Happy Crafting!

Graphic 45 One Page Wonder Mini Album

 Hi All!

Today, I'm back with another video to show you how to make this fab little mini album. The base is a 'One Page Wonder' and uses one sheet of 12x12 inch paper. I used Graphic 45's Princess, and Bloom collections, and had a great time decorating them.



They are the perfect make for an evening or afternoon, and great as a little gift for Mother's Day, or any occasion depending upon the papers you use.

Hope you like it! Happy Crafting

Tim Holtz 'Proper Gent' Cards

Hi All!

I definitely need some birthday cards for men in the coming months, so I broke out my Tim Holtz  'Gentlemen' die (666286) and these are what I created. With a little Distress Ink, stamps (THMM115 and THMM141), small pieces of Ideaology Ephemera and a few simple techniques, these are what I came up with.

I've demonstrated how easy they are to make on my latest video here.


Hope you like them!

Stamperia Alterego Stash Smash

Hi Everyone!

I'm back with a little challenge to myself today, to 'Smash my Stash'.

I have chosen to use the Stamperia Alterego 8x8 inch pad which has twenty single sided sheets of beautiful artwork, along with the Paper Die Cut Pack. It is surprising just how much you can make from this.

I hope you like all my makes, which I have explained on my video, and they give you some inspiration on how to use busy paper pads and fussy cut images.

Easy Mintay Botany Layered Circle Cards

Hi Everyone!

Last night I really enjoyed fussy cutting some of the elements from Mintay's Botany papers, so I decided to make some very easy circle cards. I show how simple they are to put together, layering them up and clustering the fussy cut elements. in my Youtube video.



Hope you like them. This is such a lovely paper collection to use for many occasions, but these cards would look great with whatever papers you have in your stash.
