Treat boxes for end of term


I have made 6 little treat boxes for Jake and Sophie's teachers and support staff, they will all be filled with Minstrels and then sealed so I can't eat them! I did start with two bags of Minstrels but Jake and I muched through one whilst I was making these so only 3 are filled so far!! They are a 2,4,6,8 box made with very vanilla cardstock and stamped with Old Olive and the jumbo wheel It's Beautiful, I then used the large oval punch and scallop oval punch to make the window and frame from Chocolate Chip cardstock. The window has a small piece of acetate secured on the inside so the chocs don't fall out. I stamped the inside with a for you sentiment from the Occasional Greetings set (it will be seen once a few of the chocolates have been eaten). I then punched holes with the cropadile and threaded through Chocolate Chip ribbon and tied a bow. I hope they like them!

A new beginning

Well this is a first for me, writing a blog. My best friend Karen has been nagging me for some time to do one especially since I became a Stampin'Up! demo. Apparently it's the ideal place to showcase what I make using Stampin'Up! craft products and hopefully make some friends along the way. Feel free to join in!
