All Day Spectacular

In October I held my all day "Christmas Spectacular" and thought that I should finally get around to showing you the projects we created before the big day comes and goes!!!

 

 

We created several projects during the day, most were Christmas orientated but I threw in some non-christmas projects that could be given as a Christmas Gift.

 

We decorated one of the Kraft Boxes that are available from Stampin' Up!, they are a great way of creating gift packaging in a whizz!  Everyone received a pack of these and we decorated one as shown below, with the gorgeous 3D cardstock bow and a tag which was inspired by one in the Seasonal Catalogue.

 

 

We used the "Snow Flurry" snowflake die to add some dazzle to the tag.

 

We also decorated a glass jar, suitable for filling with Christmas Chocs or even a gift.  For the bow we used the Cherry Cobbler Tulle, which is lovely for your christmas packaging as it ties beautiful bows.

 

We used the Candy Cane stamps from "Scentsational Season" set and cut them out using the co-ordinating Framelits dies, a pretty quick and simple project to put together and very cost effective too.

 

Mine has got a little battered as I have been taking it with me on my travels to share with everyone!  Love the new Doily Sizzlits die, so pretty.

 

Next we made a Gift Card holder that encased a wrapped choccy bar, not my idea I have to say, I saw one and loved it so I re-created with my own designs.

 

Inside the front card is a slot to hold a Gift Card, have tried to upload a picture of the inside but blogger is misbehaving and keeps rotating it!

 

 

Inside we wrapped a small chocolate bar with DSP and decorated with a tag from the "Tags til Christmas" stamp set.  Love how this set has co-ordinating punches to cut them out with ease!

 

The "tray" just slides out to reveal the chocolate surprise inside, quite neat!

 

Everyone received their own "Traditional Touches" stamp to create their projects and we used the Marker Pens to give a multi coloured finish to our stamped images.

 

At my all day classes, lunch is included and I made a Lasagne and Pasta Bake which went down very well with hot baked rolls, although everyone is so busy being creative, there's never much time to be spent eating!

 

Check back later to see the other projects we created....

 



Scentsational Season Card and Wrap

My card today uses "Scentsational Season" a new stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue which has a co-ordinating set of Framelits making it easy to whip up a card in no time!

 

Lots of new products on here:

 

Woodgrain Embossing Folder # 127821 £7.50

Brushed Bronze Buttons #127833 £6.25

Snow Festival Printed Tags (using the reverse side here) #128152 £3.75

Festival of Prints Paper Stack #126904 £6.25

 

 

I also used some of the Snow Festival DSP to create my pleated rosette with the Simply Scored Tool, it is so quick and easy.  The new colour you can see here is from the 2012/14 In Colours and it's called "Gumball Green".

 

Because my card was so deep I decided to make a Card Wrap for it instead of using an envelope.  To decorate the front I used more of the Snow Festival Paper then the gorgeous new "Snow Flurry" Bigz Die #127813  £18.95

 

Here is the side view, I created the wrap just deep enough to hold a heavily embellised card.  The belly band just slides off the edge to open.

 

And here they are both together

 

 

Would you like to see these beauties in the flesh, why not book a party or come along to a class.
