I demonstrated at a party for a lovely
group in Littleover on Friday evening. Sales were great, so the hostess was
very happy!
Here are the projects I demoed. The first
is a cool box that we were shown at Regionals in Telford last month. The top
part is just a sleeve which slides on and off. This means you can make the box
taller or shorter to suit. The top can be clipped, as I’ve done here, or folded
over, sandwich bag-style.
We’ll be making one of these boxes with brand new
products at my catalogue launch on Saturday 29th June. I got the
closing date wrong so have extended it to the end of today. Please click here

The box uses retiring Tea For Two Designer
Series Papers, and the gorgeous Flower Trim. Get both of these while you can. I
spritzed the doily with the Colour Spritzing Tool – this, too, is retiring soon. And both of these stamp sets are going,
too, which is sad as they are two of my favourites.
For the card we used a technique involving
Creped Filter Paper. We stamped the foliage and eggs on a piece of Very
Vanilla, then crumpled up some Creped Filter Paper. We applied glue stick (it
must be glue stick as it’s fairly dry) all over the image and then spread the
filter paper over the top to create a crumpled tissue effect.
On top of that we stamped the bird in Early
Espresso and topped it off with a flower from the Flower Trim. I’ve only just realized
the potential of this trim which is sad as soon it will be gone forever. Always
late to the party, me.
The card uses little notecards – these are
down on the retiring list but are returning in a thicker cardstock which is
quite exciting.
