More christmas pressies

Every year we buy a lovely box of Thornton's chocolate's but no one in our house like's the coffee one's, so this year I took them out, popped them in a cello bag and decorated the cello bag, so Pauline could have them to go with her christmas pressie, I used a 4x6 cello bag, top note die, night of navy & cream card from stash, Very vanilla grosgrain ribbon, scallop square punch and tags til Chistmas stamp set.

Christmas cartons

These are the sweetie box's (my 2 daughter's ones after they mangled them lol, I forgot to photo them before) I made them for my youngest daughter to give to her Nursery Auntys, I made 20 of them as I wasn't sure how many people worked there, in thje end she only needed 8 or 9 so her big sister took the rest to give to her friends at church.
For these I used Bashful blue and whisper white card, night of navy and versamark ink, heat and stick powder and silver glitter, sparkling jumbo wheel, 1" circle punch and mini milk carton sizzix die.

For the book below I used kraft and pacific point card, dsp (retired), night of navy ink, wide twill tape(retired), sizzix timeless type junior alphabet dies, make a monster stamp set.

Baby boom

Everyone seems to be having babies there must be something in the water, this is a card I made for my sister who's just had her 4th child, I decided to make a shaker card using my 1 3/4" circle punch, for this card I used whisper white, bashful blue and marina mist card and ink, marina mist marker with the color spritzer tool, bashful blue striped grosgrain ribbon (retired), silver glass glitter, something sweet stamp set, the saying was from retired hostess set occasional quotes, I also used the left over edges from my dimensionals so the glitter would have a space in the card.

New Baby gift

My Nephew has just made me a great Aunt, so I though as Thanks I would decorate some clothes for the baby, her names Nevaeh so I used the something sweet, monogram sweet alphabet and (simply said retired) stamp sets and fabric paints.

Here's the card I made to go with the present, for this I used pretty in pink, pink piroette and whisper white card, pretty in pink, Rose red, whisper white craft and versamark ink's, clear and white embossing powder, heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds, dazzling diamonds pretty in pink stripped grosgrain ribbon, heart, heart to heart and scallop trim border punches, sizzix circles #2 die and the big shot and finally a self adhesive rhinestone, I also used the I {heart} heart stamp set for the card.

Here's a close up of the heart and initial N, hopefully these won't go missing in the scbu as that's where baby is she was born 8 weeks early weighting only 3lb 10 oz.

Hopefully by now my sister has given this to Abi my stampin' Mum (thank you Sarah), Abi had a baby girl in August and I made this for her but I've been a little slow getting it to her. I found this tutorial and loved it so thought I'd make a few, I also made my sister and daughters one but used Stampin' Up! dsp for their's.

I made my own backing paper using 12" whisper white card stock and button button stamp set, you can't see from the photo's but I also decorated the other side of the card with in stitches jumbo wheel, I really enjoyed making this box, I used baja breeze and whisper white 12" x12" card, basic grey, baja breeze, pear pizzaz and pacific point ink and card, frost white (I think) shimmer paint tempting turquoise button's, top note, timeless type junior alphabet and sweet buttons sizzix die's and perfect polka dots embossing folder.

Minnie cake

Here's my attempt at cake decorating, Charlotte's a little obsessed with Minnie mouse so this was what I came up with for her, she again decided I wasn't upto the job and decided she should *help* so she took control of the butterflies only smudging a little of the writing lol,of course you can see it very well but the cake was sprinkled with edible glitter as Charlotte's a typical girl and loves anything sparkly.
