Paper Players Challenge #56

Pin It

Hi friends ~

Late yesterday afternoon BFF and I managed a little time cyber crafting while my chicken pie was in the oven. We chose to use the Clean and Simple Sketch #56 over at The Paper Players.

Earlier I had picked up a few of the new Chunky Kit Kat bars for some of my work mates - they all have a sweet tooth and now and then we treat each other. I decided to make some little 'extra long' gift boxes to package them in.

These are the two colours I went with ... Early Espresso for the boys and Pumpkin Pie for the girls. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the shimmer on the individual chocolates but I can assure you they were sprayed quite liberally with my Champagne Shimmer Mist. Love that stuff!!!

Julia has a fabulous little tute on how to achieve an 'extra long' Pillow Box.

I notice no Winners & Losers on tv tonight so I guess I have a date with my ironing board instead. Hope your night is a lot more exciting than mine *smile*.

JAI#64...Just Add Your Favourite Chocolate Bar Wrapper

Pin It

Happy Friday evening ~

Oooops I'm running a little late with this one....been a bit unwell today. So cutting to the chase here is my interpretation of my favourite choccie bar wrapper.


Can you work out what it is? You'd be right if you think Cadbury, I think the Concord Crush base is a bit of a giveaway. But what about the bar itself? Some of the DT girls thought Caramello, Crunchie...but if you check out this post you'll soon see. Hee hee unfortunately I didn't have one readily available to photograph with my little milk cartons. If you have any questions about my project please leave a message and I'll happily get back to you.

Head on over to Just Add Ink as it's a really fun challenge this week. I have a feeling there are going to be lots and lots of you playing along...I mean who doesn't love love love chocolate. There are some fabulous, and very yummy looking samples from the design team too.

I've got some Easter treats to show you... and I finally had a play with some of my Seam Binding ribbon, will tell you what I think when I post that card.

JAI#62...Just Add a Box or a Bag

Pin It

Yay it's Friday~

Nearly the weekend! This week is going to be lots of fun over at Just Add Ink. We're adding a Box or a Bag. I can't wait to see all the 3D items and different layouts you come up with.

My little project is kind of a box and a bag in one. Would you believe there is NO adhesive holding that little gem together? Absolutely none. It's a one piece that folds together beautifully and there is an enclosed box on the inside. It fits a few little eggs or choccies perfectly.


Unfortunately I wasn't feeling particularly creative when I put this together and I just couldn't come up with anything better. So it's a bit on the 'less is more' side this fortnight. I used Soft Suede and Baja Breeze, along with a sneaky peak at the Eat Chocolate stamp set in the new Autumn-Winter Mini released today! Hmmmm is that a new punch too?

Head over to JAI and check out all the other gorgeous Box and Bag creations by the design team. I think I'll be giving this another go myself.

Enjoy your weekend!
