The Potting Shed Bench Fold Card by Louise & Kate

I had another lovely creativity-is-so-worth-sharing and WOW moment last Friday ... as 2 of my lovely class ladies, Louise & Kate messaged me with photos of their creation inspired by the Tool Bench card they had made at our last class a few weeks ago..

When I had first shown them the Tool Bench card.... there was an immediate squeal of delight of "Oh it could be a potting shed" ... and yes absolutely!

So last Thursday night they got together and had a crafty play.... and didn't they do SO well.... here you have a fabulous Potting Shed with some amazing details... may be CASEing a few of those myself girls!

Too many details to point them all out... but check out the wellies... all the pots... trowel to the left ... and the seed packets and gloves on the bench top... too cute!

And just for those that may not know the terminology... a potting shed is a garden shed...or... "a shed which is used for potting plants and in which plants and garden tools and supplies are stored"

Really love it Louise & Kate... and thank you SO much for sharing with me and letting me share to the world on here too... and this is another Bench Fold Card design ticked off my eve growing list!

Snow Globes

 

Carrying on with small Treat Holders for the christmas table... here is another one for your Ferrero Rocher or Lindor Balls... 

But before I start... I have news for you... Stampin' Up! are releasing Year End Closeout Deals very soon... coming 1st December... lots more discounted items so more on that tomorrow... but if you happen to be online after 11pm tonight... check out my Online Store to see the details.... many items only while supplies last!

These very simple little Snow Globes will go down well amongst my skiing mad family & friends. And actually... I may use these for the New Year table

Used Mountain Adventure for decoration and greeting, Stitched Shapes Framelits for the circle, Jar of Love for the lid and Christmas Pines for the snowflakes. Finished off with Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the trees and snowflakes

And the box behind is just a 3 3/4" Square piece of Whisper White card, Scored at 1 1/4" on all 4 sides. Perfect for hiding the treat in...

Christmas "Chocolate Ball" Treat Holder Jar

Quick share of one of the christmas treat holders that will be adorning some tables around here...

These were inspired by this swap at the On Stage Telford event... but unfortunately there is no name on it to credit the maker! So please let me know if it was you.... and thank you so much for your clever and gorgeous swap (and the chocolate eclair... my favourite!)

Couple of Jar of Love jars stamped & white embossed and then die cut. Greetings care of the Candy Cane stamp set - perfect for the job...

Stuck front and back to a little box holding the Ferrero Rocher or Lindor ball... finished off with a holly & berry spray (from Hang Your Stocking stamps and Christmas Stockings dies - both really well reduced this month!) and a bit of candy cane ribbon

The box holding the treat is just a 2 3/4" square piece of card scored at 3/4" on all 4 sides...

Quick & simples...

And front and reverse...

But I have to admit... mine is going to have a Lindor Ball in!! So I think it will be red for Lindors... and green for Ferrero Rocher on my table...

Jar of Love CAS Card

A lovely little clean & simple Jar of Love creation... 

I made this at July's Team Training... Colour combination Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Flirty Flamingo & Blushing Bride

Jar stamped on Shimmery White card... which makes for much more easier water-colouring...
