Finally a photo

Well at last I have a post with a photo (or a few more). I was away last week for a couple of days in that terrible rain, in a caravan (I can hear you all go awwwwwwwww hehe), and on my return I attended the 3D christmas class part II at Maria's. This was such a welcome class and as a result of showing this in my house (just on the mantlepiece) I have had a few orders for personalised xmas cards already. This is such a wonderful set and I loved every moment of making it.

I know these aren't the best of pictures as I have taken them at night and the flash has hampered the quality some what, but i have tried to be a precise as I could be with them. I hope they are ok for you all to see.

This is an amazing little box - (the side view is below) - it is so sturdy. The top note die was used for the top and bottom of the box, (with a normal hinged folded box inside). DSP on the left in the shape of the top note and then layered the tree on a stamped background image and two co-ordinating mats. I was very impressed with the outcome.
Then we made a "bonbon" box (I think this is the correct term for them) - these are so simple and yet so effective There was then the bag in a box, or box in a bag (I forgot which way round it is supposed to be). This was done with DSP! I love this too.

And last but certainly not least - the gift card holder. This is sooooooo very nice and I am going to use this loads.

I went a bit mad stamping the poinsetta on the inside but I love the effect.

Items used: Old Olive cardstock, Real Red Cardstock, Top Note Die, Season of Joy stamp set, with old olive and real red Ink, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, whisper white grosgrain ribbon

Well I do have a few more pics to put on - but they are mainly for swaps so until the ladies that are receiving them confirm they have, I don't want to put them on. So I will get my finger out (as my husband is tiling my bathroom at the moment so it's giving me more time to card) and get some more things made and blog them for you to see.

Anyway I think I have waffled enough for now on this post, so till next time x x x
