Coaster gift box

Another idea for the coaster box (see below) .
KITSET - I have made this up as a kitset for those of you who would like to make it but can't make the class tonight. Cost $12 includes; postage, comprehensive instructions, ribbon, coasters, designer paper, brads and metal tag (similar to that shown but not necessarily exactly the same). All you need is adhesive, hole punch and stamp for words and or picture. Email me mailto:hettee@ihug.co.nz to buy the kitset with your preference for colour. Designer paper available; blue, green, teal, orange, rose red, multi (stripes, circles, patterns). Ribbon colours; white, brown, green, purple, red). Brad colours; blue, green, pink, yellow, black, silver.

Cheers

Just finished this birthday card for my niece, Claire. The card was inspired by one I found on http://linmeiyap.blogspot.com/ I used the new in colour Pacific Point cardstock and ink with the "Cheers to You" stamp set pg 54 and the "Curly Label Punch Bundle" punch pg 153 (This punch and stamp set are clearly becoming a favourite with me hehe).
The background was versamarked with the orange/lemon from "Tart & Tangy" ( pg 104), then coated in clear embossing powder and heat set.

Mother's Day


Sadly, my mother is no longer with us but I made this Mother's Day card for my "other Mother". My 96 year old friend, Mrs Bonifant, who came to visit me in hospital after I had my burn accident and continued to visit me on my many visits to hospital over the years when my parents could not be there (2 and half hours drive from my home).

I used the new "Curly Label Punch Bundle" pg 153.

Birthday girl

My great neice (makes me sound old) turned 11 at the weekend. Paige's favourite colours are pink and purple. I used lovely lilac, pretty in pink and rose red with pink brads.

Card for Deirdre

Thanks to http://ttrishmyers.blogspot.com for this idea

I made this card recently for a very good friend, Deirdre. Love the "Groovy Guava" cardstock and ribbon but unfortunately this colour has now been retired. I'm sure the card idea would look lovely in many other softer shades. Would love it if we had the "Big Shot" die cutter (as they have in USA) to die cut the "top note" (white bit) but I had to cut it and the flowers out by hand.
