Not Long Now

Not long now until Christmas is upon us.  I am still not organised, usually I put the Christmas Tree up on the 1st Dec.  It is now the 10th and no Christmas tree in sight:-(

This week I have a Christmas Tags & Box template for you.  This is a quick and easy box (my favourite kind) to make.  Good to give away as presents.  This is one of the things I love about Christmas time a great excuse to make things:-).

giving it that little bit extra!

You have spent your time creating your card for that special someone.  How about going that one step further and make a matching envelope.  It is so easy, by putting in just a little bit of extra work to give that instant wow factor.  Taking a piece of matching printed cardstock or randomly stamping images onto coloured cardstock cutting to size so it neatly slips into the envelope. Moisten the gum on the envelope (this will keep the cardstock in place).  Cut around the overhang of the printed paper.  Now you have a matching lined envelope.  Next you can stamp images on the outside of your envelope.   On this particular one I used a ‘build-a-brad’ (pg 149 of the main catalogue) to give a matching tree topper.  I only recently discovered ‘Build-A-Brad’.  These are quick and easy to make a co-ordinating brad.  The kit comes with 24 brad bases and 24 adhesive acrylic bubbles.  It is as easy as, punching patterned or stamped paper out with a 1.3cm circle punch (pg 152).  Glue punch circle to brad then adhere adhesive acrylic bubble and you are done.  Quick ‘n’ Easy.

The Summer Mini Catalogue was released yesterday.  Let me tell you there are some awesome stamp sets in there.  My favourite one being ‘I {Heart} Hearts’.    This stamp set also co-ordinates with the SU heart punch.  Can’t wait to get my hands on this one.  Another new item in the Summer Mini is the ‘Sweet treat Cups’.  I think these are awesome.  They are treat cups that attach to your card (you will need a 4.4cm circle punch).  So the lollies you put inside the treat cup actually become part of your card.  How cool is that.  Watch this space for some creations I am going to make with this :-)   If you want a copy of the mini catalogue email me with your postal details and i will send you one.  or alternatively go here to check it out online.
