I had an order last month for some little boxes for each person on the Christmas table.
The order was for white boxes with silver and sparkle. I’m quite pleased with how the boxes turned out. I’ve used the stocking punch and matching stamp set. The stockings have been embossed with silver embossing powder, and the cuff, toe and heel punched from the new Stampin’ Up! glitter paper. The boxes themselves are made with the help of the Big Shot and Top Note die.

Had a great weekend at the Southern Crafters Craft Market this weekend. The Top Note mini calendars were very popular and I received several orders for the Christmas boxes – in particular Mr and Mrs Santa. I also had fun playing with the new Candy Wrapper die for the Big Shot that is coming in the next Mini Catalogue available from 1st December.
During our last Saturday afternoon class we made a selection of Christmas cards using the Stampin’ Up! stamp Dasher. Although he was also called Rudolph and Prancer in the class!! LOL! Two of the cards were embossed with gold embossing powder. The third card also used the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set.
Although the pictured pillow die boxes shown have a lovely chocolate theme, (Eat Chocolate Stamp Set) the ones we made in class were Christmas themed.
Next weeks class will be a continuation of Christmas themed cards, but with a punch art flare added.
I’ve finally gotten around to posting pictures of my stand at the latest Southern Crafters Market. The lady birds were on the front of boxes, this idea was Cased off the talented Marie Shaughnessy.
The brown (Vanilla scented), pink (Rose or Strawberry scented) and green (Apple scented) boxes contained scented and decorated candles. They smelled glorious while making them. These were very popular as Christmas gifts. I also taught them in classes last year. These were Cased from Tanya Boser.
The calendars were a variety of types, with some free standing, magnetic or wall hanging.
More Craft Market Projects.
These Tall Window Boxes were fun to make. These boxes used a wide variety of Stampin’ Up! products. Punches, Stamp Sets, Designer Papers, Big shot and Dies, Embossing folders. Aren’t the butterflies and owls gorgeous!!
