Treat Pouch

Hello

Hope your having a great weekend?
I've been an the settee and in bed since Thursday night with another cold - I'm not 100% sure it wasn't flu its been so bad.

Anyway, the good news is Shadows doing well and has decided to start each day off chasing the chickens. His chest and breathing aren't that good but he's certainly not letting it get to him.

Here is a couple of photos of the treat pouches I made for my club ladies and as swaps for our team training last month. There so cute and only use a 6" square of paper.






The papers are stunning - perfect for making wedding gift boxes or favours - and are called Something Borrowed. There are 12 sheets as normal, with 4 each of 3 different double sided designs.

Our next class is Saturday 14th feb and we're doing 2 and 3 step stamping.

Let me know ASAP if you are coming to the class so I can prepare everything!

Class last Saturday

Hi everyone.
Sorry for not posting but our dog, Shadow has been really poorly recently. We nearly lost him but he's feeling better now.

I took this photo of him before he was ill as he was helping me clear away after our last class

Can you see the backing off the Dimensional foam pad on his nose? Bless him, he couldn't work out why I was crying through laughing when I took the photo.



Here's a photo of the table before I'd managed to clear a space. We get a bit untidy at times in classes...



And last of all, here's a photo of the projects.




Our next class is on 14th feb. So bob back for more details.

Its Sale A Bration Time

Yes, its the BEST time of the year to shop, host a party or join Stampin' Up!

For every £45 you spend, you get to pick an item from the Sale-A-Brations promotion FREE.

Another amazing part of this promotion is if you join Stampin' Up! during Sale-A-Bration, you get to choose either TWO free items from the promotion or a Simply Created Project Kit from the Spring Summer Catalogue.

Lastly, host a party before 31st March with sales of over £150 and you dont get £25 in free product - you get £45 instead.  Now thats an offer you dont get everyday, so go for it!!!

The products used to decorate this Large Kraft Journal would earn you a free Sale A Bration Set and its so nice, I made another.

Table built using Stampin' Up! Product Table Builder from The Crafty Owl.

Craft Class

Fancy a bit of you time in the company of some lovely crafters?Well, here is a photo of our next craft class items.




I don't think I'll be fully germ free to do the class this Saturday and its a little too close to the New Year for some, so the class will be on the 10th January. However, I do need those attending to confirm attendance by Saturday 3rd January. This is to ensure that I can order the items needed in time for the class the following week.

The cost of the class is £10 per person and includes all materials and use of tools etc.

Please confirm ASAP if you are coming to the class and I will order the items needed.

Well, I did try to post this on Weds but for some reason my post wouldn't work.

Remember the Stars Class I did in November, well here is a photo of the finished project.

All I did was make holes in the stars and hang them on elastic cord before suspending them in our window.



The photo doesn't really do them justice as the light is quite bright outside but you can see the idea.

Hope you and your families had a wonderful Christmas.

Gift Bags for South Hill Designs Social

Sorry I've been all over the shop the last month or two (and I have been poorly lately which hasn't helped). But here's a photo of some of the gift bags I made for the ladies who came to the South Hill Designs Jewellery party I had the other week.





Now, some of the items are retired now but the gift bags are still current and are amazing. Food quality, measure 8.9x6.4x20.4 cm. they are really sturdy too. £5.50 for 10 so only 55p each. I love them so much I've ordered loads more!!!

Thanks for looking

Stars Class Kits

Hi there.

Had lots of South Hills Designs parties and events over the last few weeks which has taken up lots of my time but I had a 'eureka' moment today and just had to have a little play.

We had our Stars Class last weekend where I showed the ladies how to assemble and decorate the 26 stars in the Many Merry Stars kit. We talked about ways of making the stars into gift boxes and this afternoon whilst driving to see Sara at the Wortley Hall Craft Fair I suddenly came up with an idea.

Instead of assembling them using all the tabs on the side strip to each point on the stars I cut some of the tabs off before assembly and here they are.

These are the boxes closed.


And here they are open.


The strips already have the adhesive on you just peal off the adhesive tape. This is how I cut the tabs off the strips.



The opening is quite small but it does allow you to get items inside- I will probably pad out the boxes with some tissue paper when I put gifts in. But if your filling with sweets it probably won't need anything.

Hope your having a great weekend.
