It is always a pleasure to make something special for good friends and the following little parcel was for a friend who went on holidays just prior to Christmas. Her favourite colour is purple so I am sure she would have liked it.
I did have plans to decorate the Lindt chocolates but ran out of time. Although on this occasion I have used cards and papers from my stash, the Bon bon is made with the recently introduced SU Envelope Punch Board. I have had a lot of fun making many different boxes and envelopes with it in the last month or so.
Since I joined SU, I have had lots of new toys to play with and plenty of beautiful products to use as well. Certainly keeps me out of trouble.
This next card was for a special friend who is a lover of pink and glitter, but I don't think even this was quite enough sparkle for her.
So proud of myself here as I actually used one of the beautiful Frosted Finishes Embellishments on this card. I loved them so much I bought a second pack even though I still had lots left. I did make two sets of ear-rings from them and they were much admired.
I needed to make a gift card for some vouchers which turned out to be quite large and it took me a little while to work out, but I think they looked really great when finished. Of course being larger than our normal cards, I needed to make special envelopes for them - Envelope Punch Board to the rescue!!
I mentioned above that I had made some boxes with my latest toy so thought I would pop in this photo of them. I cannot claim the credit for their design though, as I saw them on the blog of Sam Donald from Pootles - an amazing box maker.
Aren't they cute? most of them only take a six inch square of dsp.
Bit of an overload of photos I know, but thanks for staying with me,
Mary
