Beautiful Butterflies

These beautiful little boxes are called Pizza Boxes - beacause they open and shut just like a pizza box!  They are really simple to make and they can be adapted to different sizes.  They make great little gift boxes - just fill with a few chocolates, a pretty soap... you are limited by your imagination! These boxes are filled with mini cards!

This is what the ladies made at my recent class. If you fancy having a go and have a few friends who would like to join you - give me a call and I can come to you!

I'll show you the cards over the next week or so!

Marry Me?

No this isn't a proposal - but the name of a new stamp set in the Mini Catalogue! I really like this particular set because the images and words are so simple. I think it is also quite versatile - and it could be used for anniversary cards and special occasions. As I work in a school - I immediately think of the school prom! I would just ink up the image (minus the veil) for those sorts of occasions!

For this card I used the incolour Pool Party card stock and stamped my images in versamark. I then heat embossed the majority with white embossing powder. I created the butterflies with the Beautiful Butterflies Die and used both card and embossed vellum card stock to create the 3 d butterflies.
