Sunday Suite - Toile Tidings

So introducing the Toile Tidings Suite... perfectly formed for our Christmas crafts...

A stunning suite in traditional colours for you... including large Gift Wrap sheets ... and the papers having reds on the one side and greens on the other... clever!

And apologies as I will have to be a bit briefer today... as unfortunately I cut my thumb (yes again! I really do need a Prep Cook in my kitchen!!!) and so I am a bit hampered for a day or two! I didn't realise how often I used my thumb when typing!!!

We have the Suite Bundle for those of you that love it all... one click and it is all yours!

Comprising of the Tidings All Around Bundle... fantastic for you wreath lovers... a "ready made as it comes" stamp and die cut wreath...  and a "build a wreath with the spray stamp" as well! Or buy the stamps and dies separately without that 10% bundle discount ...

With the Toile Christmas Bundle... Again you can buy the stamps and dies separately without the 10% bundle discount

The main Tags this year...

Mentioned these earlier when I shared these tags...

But I hadn't shared these copper embossed versions to match my wrapping paper (which I have forgotten to photo!) 

... so here they are... 

Again finished off with the Tinsel Trim for a bit of glitz... and for speed.... in the making...  and in attaching to the gift...

Oh and greeting changed to one from Father Christmas as it fit better in my wreath without going onto the embossed section... and so avoid potential ink smudging!

Memories & More Merry Little Christmas Gift Card Holder

So when I made these using Petal Garden and the Striped Treat Bags... I decided that they would make for a great quick wrapping idea for all the gift cards I send this year... but using the Merry Little Christmas Memories & More Card pack instead... further details in the earlier post...

So more to follow using other cards in the pack... but I thought I would share the first as no doubt it will be very last minute when I get to do the others...

On Stage Wrapped Gift

 

So I was at On Stage Local in Solihull the other weekend... and had a blast with Stampin' Up! & fellow demonstrator friends old and new...

So ... a little share today for my Tuesday Tips.... of a simple way to gift wrap when you have a gift for a friend... but just a minute left before you need to leave the house!!

Grab a plain white bag... know you have lots of those somewhere... (if not I have a lot but with flat handles!) and a couple of pieces of paper from a 6" Square paper stack... Petal Garden used here...

Trim a piece of Old Olive card to 6 1/4" W x 7 1/2" H... and one piece of paper to 6" W x 2"H

Adhere all parts and trim the gap with Washi Tape - Basics Pack 1 in the pinks used here. Add a quick Thankful Thoughts stamped and a little stamped & Bunch of Banners die cut Soft Sayings card kit greeting - or two... and a few Rhinestones to finish...

Pop your gift in the bag... and tie a 1/4" Stitched Edge ribbon around the handles to close & seal...

And off you can go....

A deserving apron gift (and with such appropriate wording!) for a demo friend that continually inspires me and most of our team... thanks again Julie...

Gift Wrapping using Memories & More Petal Garden

Really simple and quick to make... but (I think) so beautiful ... small gift wrapping... using the Memories & More Petal Garden card pack and the Gold & White Striped Treat Bags... finished off with a half Foil Snowflake and Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Stitched Ribbon  

There was one each for my lovely fellow Silver Elite + team friends that  joined me at the Centrestage event at On Stage in Solihull last week... just to say a simple little thanks as we do all support each other in so many different ways... and I for one really appreciate that...

Just a small M&M card... matted onto a Rich Razzleberry mat... with a half snowflake attached to the back at one corner... And a quick tip for you... if you put a Glue Dot on the front of the Snowflake in the centre they are really easy to position & stick in place to the back of that mat!

And inside... well not immediately obvious... but very small chopping boards!! All with something personal to the receiver... These are just attached to one of the larger M&M cards in the pack

I treated myself to one too... and have actually been using it every day this week!!! So much easier to wash up after chopping just one tomato etc for my sandwiches!! 

And Kate... oh no! I forgot to photo yours!!! Silly old me... would have been nice to share in the different colourway...

Milestone Moments Tag & a Special Card/Mini Book...

First off... a super quick tag for you! Care of Milestone Moments with its classically simple & understated font...

This may count as my simplest "project" ever... but one I know the recipient will be excited and inspired by!!  So Happy Birthday Nicky... friend, neighbour, blog subscriber and customer! And thanks for the great party to celebrate your FIFTIETH last night!

And a laugh for you... Nicky borrowed my Large Number dies to finish her party decorations off the other day... but she hasn't returned them yet!! So when I came to finish off her card and tag... I came a bit unstuck!! Thank goodness I had Milestone Moments for Plan B for the tag...

And I was already to design a new card fold especially for Nicky... but I needed the numbers to decorate... so Plan B was to find "one I made earlier that I could add FIFTIETH to a few times"... So here you go... the card that thinks it is a Mini Album... perfect for Nicky to add some special photos from her party next week...

I think it is about time I made some more of these... still one of my favourite projects from times gone by... click here for the Flip n Fold Album Tutorial for it that I published earlier

And I hope you enjoy the present Nicky... though I do wish I had taken a photo of the gift (and the card!) before I wrapped it all up...
