Just add packaging!

Card: pool party

DSP: spice cake

Ink: soft suede

Stamp set: eat chocolate

Accessories: spice cake button, hemp twine, linen thread, pool party ruffled ribbon, sponge, petal cone die, big shot.

Over at JAI, they have a challenge to just add fancy wrapping or packaging. This is my take on the challenge... The colour combo of the spice cake DSP is amazing and I think this project has come together pretty well. The 'belly band' includes everything on top, so it can all pull off to open up the box. So cute! And it can be re-purposed - how cool is that?!

A recent purchase of mine has been the petal cone die, which is my current love. This is another project that you can create using the die - a take-out box. I've made several of these as christmas pressies with chocolates in them, but you could include anything - soap, tea-light candles, jewelery... If you would like to learn how to make a take-out box yourself, contact me!

It's all about chocolate!

Card: blushing bride, early expresso, very vanila
Ink: early expresso
Stamp: eat chocolate (mini)
Other: early expresso 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, perfect polka dots embossing folder, square lattice embossing folder, big shot, dazzling daimonds, decorative label punch

I finally had to order the Eat Chocolate stamp set (from the current mini catalogue), with the decorative label punch, and it arrived just the other day. Of course, I had to ink up one of the stamps... Love the brown and pink combo here - it's becoming a firm favourite of mine! There is dazzling diamonds on top of the cupcakes, but this hasn't come out to well in the photo, but the sparkle is definitely there!

There are only 17 days left to order from the current mini catalogue (see the link on the right), including this stamp set, so contact me to order yours today! And if you spend $120, you will also receive a free ribbon and button bundle (see the details link on the right).
