Festive Flurry Pyramid Box

Today I have been packaging my Team Swaps, my Roomies Gift and my Down-lines' gifts,

 ready for Stampin' Up Convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week.

Here is the gift box that I have made to house the gift I have made for my 

friend Lynda ,who I am sharing a room with for the two nights.

It's quite easy to make, but looks quite expensive.

The colour combo is White Black and Silver.

I have stamped directly onto the card with Silver Encore ink ink pad using the Festive Flurry stamp set.

The small snowflake is from the Hostess stamp set Warmth and Wonder and is stamped in Black.

I stamped the smaller snowflake in Black on a separate piece of card 

and cut out using the matching Framelits set.

I then glued this in the middle of the silver snowflake on the front of the box.

I then glued on a Frosted Finishes embellishment in the centr of this.

The pyramid box is held together with the beautiful Silver 1'8" ribbon.

I think this box looks beautiful and I have made it in matching colours for Lynda's gift.

(I'll show you this on Friday, once I have given it to her!!)

Pyramid gift box

Here is a little pyramid shaped gift box that I have cased from one that my SU sister,

Kylie, gave me as a thank you when she did a charity run.

It was worth every penny of the sponsorship money to receive this little beauty!!

I have just added a Frosted Finishes Embellishment to mine 

- the original box had a Basic Rhinestone in the snowflake centre.

You will certainly know if you have made my top ten this Christmas

if you receive a card or gift box with one of these lovely embellishments on.

I sit and stroke them a lot!!

Any how - I digress.

Colour Combo is White Silver and Bermuda Bay

Stamp set and matching Framelits die - Festive Flurry

Bermuda Bay 1/8" Taffeta ribbon.

Thanks again Kylie!!

Festive Flurry Snowflake Calendar

Today I showed one of my Tuesday class ladies (Janet)  how to make this snowflake calendar

 using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching Framelit dies.

Here is her calendar.

Inks used - Island Indigo, Pool Party, Soft Slate and

Versamark with Silver embossing powder.

The various sized snowflakes  were stamped and then die cut,

assembled together and then ribbon was attached as a hanger 

and also to attach the calendar to.

Great work Janet - this will be great for your fundraising!!
