I wanted to make a birthday card using the beautiful stamp set Birthday Blast, which unbelievably will not make it to the new catalogue! It, and the amazing dies which matched, were amazing - I hope they may make a return in the next Occasions catalogue but as this rarely happens I will keep my fingers crossed. I used some retired Night of Navy DSP from the retiring DSP Colour Stacks and love the way this card turned out. There were a few different colours on offer, and all the cards looked great!
The second item I made was a triangle box, inspired by the very talented Heidi Smith (see her post here) - it fits (with a bit of a squeeze) 3 Ferrero Rochers. I changed the pattern paper, label and sentiment from Heidi's and the boxes matched the colour of their cards. The ladies were already thinking about making more for small gifts to give to work colleagues, teachers etc.
Now Jeanette will fill you in about what she made with the class attendees......
"With some of our favourites soon to be retired, I couldn't resist an opportunity to showcase the Stylish Stems framelits and the versatile white gift boxes. Who wouldn't fall in love with them and just in time to order before they disappeared forever. Luckily our upline Sue had shown us her beautiful card with matching gift box. I'm sure you will love them as much as I do."
These were a big hit and look even more amazing in real life.
Our next classes are on Friday 30th June @ 7pm and on Saturday 1st July @ 1 pm . Please book in early as places are limited and we would hate you to miss out.
