Customer Thank You's

I decided to make some envelope cards for my recent customers to say thank you for their orders.  I used Rose Red, one of my favourites, along with Old Olive and Whisper White.  The stamped image is from "Pocket Silhouettes".  I used the Word Window Punch to cut out my greeting and the Scallop Edge Border Punch for interest.  I added a piece of Rose Red Designer Series Paper on the bottom of the envelope, I love these papers, they are so versatile.

So Saffron Stars!

I have finally had chance to sit and be creative with my new stamps and here is my first creation, a "new baby" card welcoming the "little one".  The star stamps are from "Nursery Necessities" stamped with So Saffron ink onto Whisper White card.  The middle star has been clear embossed and raised using Dimensionals.  It is difficult to see from the picture but I stamped a background onto the main body of the card using one of the tree stamps from the newly released "Trendy Trees".  I used the Scallop Edge Punch to create a border and made holes in each scallop with the Paper Piercer. 

Gift Box

I saw the template for this cute little gift box on Amanda's blog and thought that I would give it a go.  I have used the Designer Series Paper in Chocolate Chip and used the Chocolate Chip cardstock, along with the Scallop Edge Punch to create a border around the bottom, which is difficult to see in the photo as it is quite dark.  I also used the Circles Punches to cut out my stamped image along with the ribbon holes and the Oval Punch to create the handles.  So cute, just the right size for one of those cute minature boxes of chocolates you can buy. 

More Chocolate Chip!

Upon my travels I have come across many blogs that showcase 3D projects and thought that I would spend some time last night creating similar ones but with my own measurements, wow, I was shocked just how much time I sat, getting things wrong and starting again, but eventually got there and will show you in the next few days what I made.

I wanted to use up some scraps of the Designer Paper that I had left on my desk so decided to alter a notepad and was quite pleased with the end result. Yet again I have used a stamp from the retired "Carte Postale" set which by nowm you must know I am liking at the moment!! The paper is from the Chocolate Chip Designer Series range and I used the scallop border punch and circle punch.
