I couldn't resist making a little box of note cards with the new Eastern Palace range from Stampin Up. They are just 4 x 4 in size and the box is 4 1/2x 4 1/2 so that the notecards and envelopes fit nicely inside. The colours in the Designer Series Papers are lovely. New 2017 In Colours which are Fresh Fig, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist put with Dapper Denim and Very Vanilla. For my first go I used the rich jewel tones.

I was none the wiser really. Then we went on holiday together to the States and whilst there she took me to a scrapbook store. That was it! That ... VIEW POST

Easy Easter table favours using Basket Bunch!
I can't seem to stop playing with this cute set. So many lovely images in it. I have some of those netted bags of mini chocolate eggs and wanted to dress them up to use as table gifts at our Easter dinner table. Using the cello bags that Stampin Up supply is a quick and easy option. They are food grade safe and easy to make look more special. The Tag Topper punch makes it so easy. I used card stock at 2 inches by 4 inches and just punched the top. The yellow, flowery tag is made from the ... VIEW POST
