team make 'n' take

Liz's make 'n' take is a lovely natural card

using one of the harvest sets.

The background is a wood grain stamp under the acorns,

and the wheat sheaf is tied with linen thread.

Team makes

I hope you had a good week?
Are you saying thank crunchy it's friday?
I hope you are taking time to relax.....

We each do a make 'n' take at our team events.

It's a lovely way of sharing ideas and products, and gives us chance to play!

Here's mine, based on the Starburst technique.

Some of the seasonal designer series paper is very shimmery,

and the ribbon and embellishment add glam too.

I recently learnt the Starburst Technique.

I didn't find it easy at first, as geometry is not my strong point!

However, once I found a magic measurement from Diane Barnes, I was off!

I will share instructions very soon......

Here's a close-up

Team day

Jan's swap was a little......awesome! omg!

First the box....

and if that wasn't enough....

The contents......

Scented candles, and the most gorgeous wreath.

This deserves a few more pics....

Covered in ribbon, adorned with shimmery leaves and flowers,

and a fab 3-d sentiment....

here's a close-up

Jan loves making 3-d objects, and this is undoubtedly one of her best yet! 

Team Day

Liz's swap was a cute square card, embossed with glittery snowflakes,

(never shows up in photos.....)

a cute stamp from one of Stampin' Up! Hostess stamps sets,

that are amazing value, and some dinky pearls. 

I do like traditional colours for Christmas, do you?

I like the blues, pinks, purples etc., but my faves are the red and green.

Which are your faves?

Do leave a comment if you have the time to share.

Team Day

Another team day, we got together again to swap projects and ideas.

Here's my 'swaps'.....it's a cracker!

I got the idea from the many you-tubes using the Envelope Punch Board,

new to Stampin' Up!.

I adapted the basic principle to suit what I put inside....shhhh that's a secret! 

I used our seasonal Designer Series Paper, and punched a couple of tags to embellish.

Some red Glimmer paper, and silver ribbon and rhinestone add a bit of glitz.

I will share how I made them very soon.....

have a good week!

Circle Thinlit Shaker

I had to make a monthly swap, so decided to try out my new Circle Thinlit.

This die cuts a card base to make a swing or flip card with ease!

It cuts and scores, so all I had to do was fold and decorate.
I decided to do a shaker, using the Hexagon Punch, and Festive Flurries Stamp Set,
all from Stampin' Up!

Here's the back of the 'swing' section...where you can add a sentiment or decoration

Another view of the front, with chunky glitter in the shaker window

Envelope Punch Board

Can you guess what I've been playing with?

Oh my gosh, this board is a m a z i n g !

You can do so much with it!

I had these cards in my stash that I sent to a fave aunt and uncle,

so all I had to do was make the envelopes!

You can make any size, in any colour, and make boxes too!

The only trouble was....and this will make you laugh.......I forgot to write inside their cards!!!!!

Have you ever done that!???!!!!

I was so intent on getting them in the post!

Oh well, a good excuse to speak to them on the phone!

Plus my Aunt will love being able to 'recycle' them lol!
