Carousel Birthday hand stamped and packaged treat bags

I'm sure by now you all know how much I love to give a treat, it really is about the packaging for me, love creating it and love giving it too!

Today I'm sharing a little chocolate treat I gave to some ladies at a recent class and I loved making them so much I made a bunch for some team members as we were having a meeting!

I've used the lovely set "Carousel Birthday" from the Spring/Summer Catalogue, the greeting I used from the set is perfect for gift giving and I love the flourish that surrounds it.

It was cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which are a must have, in fact all of the layering dies are amazing, I use them so often.I teamed my black stripy cupcake holder with Delightful Dijon, created a base for one of our cello bags and then adding a banner tag with more cardstock and some co-ordinating Dijon ribbon, the little peg has sadly retired but I needed to use up my stock!

I was really pleased with how it turned out and everyone loves Chocolate Teacakes so smiles all round, pretty packing and chocolate, a great combination!

If you would like to make little creations to give as gifts, why not come along to a class or simply place an order online with me to purchase some lovely Stampin' Up! products to get creative with.

Any Occasion, any excuse to send a card

I love to give, gift giving gives me a great sense of warmth and when it's something that has been packaged by myself with a handmade card it means even more.

Today's card uses one of the FREEEEEE Sale-a-bration stamp sets called

"ANY OCCASION"

I love the cute bunting in this set and the variety of occasions it covers

and yours for FREE when you place a £45 order

Here's the card I created....

My lovely colour combo of Pear Pizzazz, Flirty Flamingo and Copper which was inspired from a recent swap I received from a team member Judith, fell in love with it instantly.

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to pre-order new products a month before they are released to the general public and I love this part of being a demo, I get to play with new products early and create lots of samples to share with you all when they are released.

At January's monthly team gathering we had an organised "swap" and exchanged cards with each other, so much fun.

I have also used the new Window Shopping Bundle and the amazing Hexagons Dynamics Embossing Folder which give so much texture, it's fantastic!

You can shop online with me 24-7 and have your Stampin' Up! products delivered direct to your door, remember if your'e order is over £25 to use the Hostess Code
