Stampin’ Up!’s Tag A Bag Gift Box, Soho Subway DSP, Delightful Dozen stamp set, NEW Burlap Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch (double punched)
Today is Fathers Day in Australia! Wishing all the fellas a great day.
The kids had a few extra treats to give to their dad so we used one of the Tag A Bag gift boxes and decorated it just like we did in this post. This time we used Stampin’ Up!’s Soho Subway patterned paper to whip up a quick finished treat box in no time at all.
Soho Subway is a GREAT set of patterned papers for male themed projects.
Soho Subway DSP, double-sided patterned paper. p151 Annual Catalogue (AUD$18.95).
Better get back to spoiling hubby, but I just want to give a quick shout out to all the wonderful crafters I met yesterday at Paperific. It was a fun day, and we were kept very busy. Lots of familiar faces and stamping friends dropped by, which kept me smiling all the way home to Creswick that night.
This brings craft show season to the end for this year, but we’ll be back next year to share more at the shows in 2014.
Happy stamping,

Embellished ‘Tag a Bag’ Gift Box
This box was one of our Convention Make & Takes.
To create the flap, trim Bermuda Bay cardstock to 11cm x 17.5cm, and score it at 2.5cm and 8.5cm.
Stamp to embellish.
Attach the flap at the back of the box only, so it lifts up like a lid. When it’s closed, the acetate sleeve slides right over the top to keep it shut.

So excited! My ‘Epic Day’ This & That bundle arrived this week. I couldn’t wait to tear into the box!
The bundle includes the journal, rotary date stamp, designer series paper, three rolls of patterned washi tape and a couple of sheets of coordinating stickers.
I especially love the rotary stamp. You can choose dates up to the year 2023, and a dozen different date-related sentiments.
To line up the sentiment you want, just rotate the dial so the number through the window matches the message printed on the front.
How cool is that!
And here’s what I created with my new journal.
Our annual Stampin’ Up! convention is coming up in a few weeks. I’m going to use my This & That journal to record the whole shebang. Yay!

Today we're feeling the love with an extended Kraft box (p161 Annual Catalogue).
A clear Window Sheet makes up 3 sides and the back is lined with coordinating cardstock. We've used Primrose Petals cardstock (p152) stamped with the all-time favourite En Francais background stamp (p129).
This box is decorated with all kinds of lovely goodies from the new Artisan Embellishment Kit (p10 current Seasonal Catalogue). Eek window sheets are difficult to photograph!
If you're free this Sunday why not come along to our special Pampering & Papercrafts Class! (Bookings essential, limited spaces still avail).
We're making a box very similar to this AND coordinating cards and I absolutely can't wait!!! Everyone will get a full Artisan Embellishment Kit and some special treats for inside the box. Of course!
Have a fabulous day and happy stamping,

One of the fabulous perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the free products, and last month I was very spoilt with lots of goodies from the Annual and Christmas Holiday catalogues (Australia/NZ). One of the free items was this Oval Accent Bigz Clear die.
…And from the moment I took it out of the box I KNEW I wanted to make these treat holders. They also fit perfectly with this week’s Create With Connie & Mary favour challenge CCMCHOL12-03.
I started putting together a tutorial for my blog, but it was getting VERY long. It’s not that it’s a difficult project, but I took lots of photos which made the tutorial quite lengthy and my blog wasn’t playing nicely with all the images. Soooo…. I’m in the process of creating a FREE PDF with full instructions.

With only a few days to go before the new catalogue arrives (ooooh – how exciting) I thought I'd share some more pages from the Days To Remember Calendar. Better do it before all the beautiful Beau Chateau DSP retires!
See more pages here: June's post and July's post.
We might as well go back to the beginning, with January. And also one of my favourite photos in the calendar.

Texture was added to the interlocking frames with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.
Champagne Shimmer Paint was brushed onto Soft Suede cardstock, then die cut (when dry!) with the Little Leaves Sizzlits die.
The Days-to-Remember Calendar is on the retiring list for $18.95, so this is your last chance to order it if you'd like to make your own. They really do make a lovely keepsake or special gift.
Have a happy day.
