Birthday Chocolates!

I made this for my mother in-law's birthday today and put a box of Guylian chocolates inside. Thanks Kim for the idea.

I was inspired by the team cyberstamp last night. Dani was the host and this was her second challenge, to make a mini pizza box. I will put pictures of the things I made for her other challenges over the next couple of days.

I have seen these pansies made from the Butterfly punch on many blogs over the past weeks and was dying to have a try. These are the supplies i used :

Card - Barely Banana

Ink - Elegant Eggplant, Bravo Burgandy, So Saffron

Stamps - Words from the jolly chef stamp set, Voila

Very Vanilla Ribbon

This is a picture of the chocolates inside !!

Stamping Afternoon

Thanks everyone for coming to my Stamping Afternoon on Saturday. I hope you enjoyed it.

We had lots of fun making cards and boxes using supplies from the new Autumn mini catalogue. I will post photos of the things we made over the next few days.

Everyone who came on Saturday received a little pack of gift tags . The gift tags came in an acetate gift box which was a variation of a 2,4,6,8 box except it was 2,3,5,6. The tags were made using the tag in the new Cottage Garden stamp set and the tag punch. The colours were Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery.

Another Bird card !!

As you know I just love this 2 step bird punch.

This card used the new in colour Soft Suede, matching ribbon and Autumn Harvest patterned paper.
