Napkin/Nappy Fold Gift Packs

My Wednesday Tutorial was a special request from a team member.

It's a napkin fold/nappy fold but I took it a step

further and made them in 3 different sizes.

The gold one is made using a sheet of 12 x 12 paper.

The Christmas one is made using 8 x 8 paper.

The smallest one, perfect for table treats/birthday treats

and uses 6 x 6 paper.

Dressed to impress handbags!

Handbags at the ready!!

I had a play with the  Dressed to Impress bundle

which has a set of dies that allows you to make a variety of

handbags and backpacks!

This is only three that I have made.

One was made with card and matching papers.
Middle one was made with whisper white card
which I then stamped and coloured the little flowers.
The third one, the backpack design, was made by simply
cutting out in heavy papers and adding some matching
elements in matching card stock. The ribbon was made
from a strip of left over paper.

I have a video over on my VIP Group showing
how to put the bag together.

Strong and Beautiful on St.Patrick's Day!

It's the second week of my theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

This one uses a few stamp sets

Strong and Beautiful and Meant to Be!

I would like to enter this into

Creations in Pink - anything mostly pink

Always Fun challenges - flowers

Tag Tuesday - for Mothers/strong women

I made a few treat packages for St. Patrick's Day!

The green paper is from a retired set

which I have stamped the hearts again to create a Shamrock.

I finished with a layered shamrock using the same heart,

but onto whisper white card instead and then fussy cut.

The ribbon is the lovely Mint Macaron.

This package holds a lot of chocolates as it is 6" tall.

I will have a video tomorrow showing how to make a smaller version,

perfect for Easter Treats for little people.

Unfortunately with this lovely virus we won't even get to see

our beautiful grandkids :( and all St.Patrick's Day

parades are cancelled.

Think we might head off to the seaside for the day

and get some nice fresh air!!

NOPE! Car got called into garage for a quick fix!
