Secret Santa Unwrapped

This is what was in all those gorgeous little parcels I had under my Christmas Tree. I feel very spoilt! I'm sure Secret Santa blew the budget with all these gifts. There is all five colours of the in colour ribbons, four different colours of the 1 -1/4" Striped Grosgrain ribbon, the Floral Fusion Sizzlits Die, Adhesive Eraser, Music Notes Wheel, Baby Steps stamp, Assorted Brads and lots of little Dairy Milk chocolates yum! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Secret Santa. I have made a guess as to who it is in the Inklings Team that spoilt me so much, but I haven't heard if my guess is correct yet.

Hope you all got spoilt too, and had a great Christmas. Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Fabulous New Year.

Best Wishes,
Janice

Wishing you all a very Merry Chritsmas!

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would show you a few of the things I have been making.




Thanks to Trudi for giving me some of these long thin cello bags. I made these cuties and put them in with the final orders for the 2010 stamp club. They would be great for kids parties too. I hope all the girls like them, I will be delivering the orders today.


I made these flowers using the Sweet Treat Cups and the Ornament Punch. I gave each of the girls in stamp club one at our last meeting. I also gave them a glass with a candle, chocolates and a bag of assorted embelishments in it. Just a little thank you for being in Stamp Club and for their support and friendship.



Finally here is a picture of what I got from my Secret Santa. I feel very spoilt with all those gifts to open. Yes, I got all 12 gifts from one Secret Santa, I must have been Very, Very Good! Some of them had popped open in the mail (honestly I didn't touch them!!) So I have seen a couple of the things in there, but I am waiting for Christmas Day to open them all up properly. Thank You Secret Santa.

I probably wont be back on here until next year, so have a safe and happy Christmas everyone.

Best Wishes to you all,

Final Stamp a Stack for 2010

These are the cards we will be making on Thursday. Ten Christmas cards, hopefully they will just top up everyone's stash of Christmas cards ready to pop them in the mail very soon. Only twenty days to go!!! Would you beleive I haven't given Christmas much thought yet! Except to think I'll think about that later : )

Hope you like the cards.

November Stamp a Stack

Here are the cards we made this week at the Stamp a Stack. There were five Christmas cards and five other cards. As you can see we used the Top Note Die for the Christmas cards. They were quick and simple to make, and I think they are very effective.


These next five cards I tried to make them varied to suit male, child and female with an engagement, wedding or anniversary one thrown in there for good measure.

I think everyone liked them and had fun making them. Our next Stamp a Stack is on 9th December and we will be making Ten Christmas cards. Just in time to get them mailed out for Christmas.

I am taking names of people interested in joining the 2011 Stamp Club, which starts late January 2011. If you are interested or would like further details please contact me.

Have a great weekend!

November Technique Class

This week we made three items that I think would be suitable for small gifts for Christmas or any other time of the year (well, maybe not the calendar, you can't really give one of those in July???). The first thing we made was this really cute box with a window, there's no stamping at all involved in this one. It was just cutting, scoring, sticking and 'Bobs your uncle,' there you have it. I did use my Big Shot to cut out the window, but you could use a craft knife or a punch instead of that.

Then we made the Easel card/desk top calendar with post it notes and a pen. Another simple project that everyone loved. The final item was a gift card holder made from an envelope. It's a bit hard to see exactly what it is like in this photo.

The girls in my Stamp Club made the box on Wednesday and have requested they make the calendar at our next get together.

This weekend I am busy getting organised for next weeks Stamp a Stack. I have all the cards designed and now my job this afternoon is to cut up all the card stock required.

Have a good weekend.
