This was very simple to make and i think it makes a lovely gift! I have filled mine with mini bath bombs but i am planning to do a few more of these, you could put a flannel & soaps or anything really!!

I used a load of SU Cardstock as it is pretty sturdy compared to anything else i have! I then decorated it with some lovely Basic Grey Papers that i picked up at Ally Pally half price!! They are soooo pretty too!! I used a fabby Pure Innocence stamp by My Favorite Things, so cute and ideal for my pamper box!

I also used my new Cuttlebug Quilling Dies to make my flower... love love love this soooo much and it only takes maybe 2-3 mins to do but only really ideal for boxes, bags etc as they are very bulky and 3D!

Hot Chocolate Gift Set

I am here, lol! I have had a very busy few weeks so sorry for not updating my blog much! I have been making a few things here and there but unfortunately by the time i get it is pitch black dark so i can't seem to get any decent photos so these will have to do for now!

I have been busy busy preparing for two craft shows i am doing and also making lots of Christmas presents! Here is a little Hot Chocolate Set i put together!

It is a mug containing 2 sachets of Hot Chocolate, a pack of marsh mellows, a candy cane & a chocolate square, pretty cute i think!

I used some lovely Basic Grey papers i have had sat around for ages so i thought i would put them to good use and make a coordinating set! I used my SU Punches for the scallop & circles and my old faithful snap stamps!

I wrapped it up in some clear cellophane and added some ribbon and ta-da, all finished!

Supplies - Basic Grey Papers, Stampin Up Punches, Snap Stamps & Ribbon

Cards For Men Challenge 22

I know i keep saying this but where does the time go!?! Only seems like yesterday i was posting my last challenge card! Anyway on with the challenge...

This week's challenge at Cards For Men is an easy peasy one! Yup its time for 'Anything Goes'.. well as long as it's male that is!! This fortnight we are sponsored by the fabby Digital Delights, they were so lovely to supply us all with images but unfortunately i didn't get the chance to use any of mine (life, work & exhaustion has a real habit of getting in the way at the moment!! grrr!) but make sure you go check out the rest of the Design Teams examples!

Here is mine.. not a card but a lovely treat box!

Sorry about the poor photos i will try and take better ones sometime this week! This was super easy to make once i figured out the dimensions and sizes of paper etc! I am planning to make a few of these for a couple of craft shows i am hoping to have a stand at soon!! Hopefully i will get to show you more of these kinda creations this week!

I used my lovely new Echo Park Papers, they are lovely and have such fabby traditional colours which makes a change for me as i am usually all about the contemporary! I also teamed this up with my lovely new swirl die and of course a lovely LOTV image! I filled my treat box as you can see with loads of scrummy choccies, i have to say it was a job keeping Lissy away from these!!!

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges....

The Crafty Pad - Christmas

Crafty Sentiments - Anything But A Card

Sweet Stampin Challenge - Anything But A Card

Crimbo Treat Bag

All this working malarky has definitely killed my crafting mojo, time & energy!!

I have managed to make a few bits and pieces this weekend which i will show you over the next couple of days, i need to get a wriggle on as i need to be creating lots of bits for craft fairs, presents and of course blooming Christmas which is looming closer!!

Lissy wanted to help me create last night so we made a cute little gift box with ribbon round the handles! Inside as you can see are matching cute little covered chocolate coins! She chose the images bless her probably because she thinks it looks like her! They are perfect little gifts to make for her school buddies this christmas and sooooo quick, easy and cheap!

I am pleased i am finally using some of these images that Lissy begged me to get, i did wonder when they would get used! I am in serious desperate need of new Copics as all my usual colours seem to have run out so it's definitely the time to use images & die cuts!

Supplies - Kanban Images, SU Punches, SU Cardstock & Ribbon

With Love At Christmas

Well i did say i am loving LOTV at the moment so here is another lil creation using these fabby designs!!! I am on a Christmas role now, well i have to be as i have just started supplying another new local shop so i need to get my butt into gear and get creating!

I used some of my new fabby Echo Park Papers from MMCS! They are lovely 12x12 double sided beautiful cardstock weight papers! They all coordinate so beautifully, def gotta be using these alot more! Now this time i think you can see some of the glitter a bit better!

I just love sparkle & girlyness!!
