JUST A TINY FAVOUR

Haven't I been making a lot of cards lately; back to my roots!


I don't really do a lot of "box" work, purely because I've had know idea where to begin. Lately though, I have been collecting packaging from here and there to use as templates. For a new crafter like myself, this is a great way to get started.


This project uses a tiny KFC Popcorn chicken box, I thought it was so cute that once Cameron had finished with it (a once and while treat folks) I spirited it away. 


Whilst putting the box together I decided to "make it my own" by turning it upside down and snipping off the bottom tabs. Great for party favours I think!

COUGHS, CHALKS & A CARD

This idea came to me whilst I was kept awake by my cough, wheeze, cough, routine. I kept thinking of a childhood toy I had, I am sure you can still get them and many of you have had them.


One of those plastic puzzles made up of sliding tile pieces that fit into a kind of tray. Do you remember them?


Well this card is based on that. I used my Stampin' Pastels with this card and adopted the Poppin' Pastel technique. I stamped my image with Versa Mark ink and then used cotton wool balls to "pounce" the various pastel colours (Bold Brights) over my image. There are many, many ways in which to use your Pastels but this is by far my favourite!

MINI CHALLENGE

Well today I set myself a challenge. I have so many bits of "scrap" card and ribbon lying about that I thought I would (and should) get to work using them all up. Besides, I need some mini samples to take with me to workshops. Here is what I came up with...

Mini Thank you note. I send one of these to all my hostesses.

I have my first workshop planned for the 20th March and I am really looking forward to it. Most of the guests are work colleagues of my sister's who have seen my many, many craft exploits (my sister loves to take snaps or bring my bits in to work and pass them around) and so are very eager to get stuck in! She even had people asking to be invited once they knew what was going on, so I will writing up some more invitations tonight. The Stampin' Up! invitations are lovely!


I'll keep you all posted, wish me luck!
