Pretty Boxes...

I love a place setting at the table - a favour box filled with chocolate or sweets.
I think it finishes off the place setting beautifully.
But I also love to give little hand-made packages of chocolate or sweets too, just because!
I made a box today, and thought how cute it would be in assorted sizes. I saw a photo online and thought it looked like boxes I had made previously, so I had a little play, and this is what I came up with - and it's using my favourite punch, so win win!
I haven't added a sentiment yet, I'll wait to see what I use them for, but they would look lovely with either a tiny tag hanging from the bakers twine bow, or a panel on the front popped up with dimensionals, don't you think?




These boxes have all been made from A4 cardstock. 
The tallest box  measures 2" x 2" x 4 1/4"(5cm x 5cm x 11cm).
The next tallest  measures 2" x 2' x 3.5" (5cm x 5cm x 9cm).
The next size measures 2" x 2" x 2.5" (5cm x 5cm x6.5cm).
The smallest one measures 2" x 2" x 2" (5cm x 5cm x 5cm).
The hold quite a bit, and would be a lovely finish to your Christmas table - imagine them in the colours of your Christmas Decorations!

These little boxes are quick to make and would be lovely to gift, as a set or on their own! 
The supplies I used to make them are below - please let me know if you would like to learn how to make these, I would love to book a class with you!

Chocolate Coin Holders

I love a place setting made with craft stuff - don't you?
Every stamp club, I try to have a little something at the ladies seat, and this is the one that I made for our Stamp Club meeting last week.
 It holds one of those chocolate coins that you can find at Coles and Woolies in the little netting bags. 



They aren't very big, about 5cm x 5cm, but they are so cute! My ladies loved them, and as they were very good (lol) I had a bonus project for them at the end of the night and we made a poppy parade one too :)

The little elves came from the new Santa's Workshop DSP, and there is a matching framelit that cuts it out - so cool! 
Check out the new Santa's Workshop Suite here
I can show you how to make these if you would like to book a class :)

Supplies can be ordered in my online store:

Merci Chocolate Holders

I've added another class to my class list - have you had a chance to look at what you can book into?
I would love to show you and some of your friends how to make some of them!

This one is for Merci Chocolates - you can buy them from Aldi in mixed flavour packs, and they are yum! 
They make great gifts too, either in small packaging like below, or left intact and covered - I made sleeve for a gift once, I don't know why I didn't blog about it, but here is an entire box of Merci - keep in mind this was made last year and the products have since retired.



Here are the Merci Chocolate Holders I have added to my class list, which you can find here. Scroll down until you see 'Merci Chocolate Holders - Trio'.


This holder will hold 6 Merci Chocolates



This holder holds 3 Merci Chocolates


This holder is for a single Merci Chocolate


If you would prefer to make these in colours other than Christmas, that can be organised too :)

Feel free to contact me to chat more or to book a class, I would love to hear from you!
The supplies that I used to make these projects are below, clicking on any of them will take you to my online store (the envelope punch board or the detailed trio punch could be used to round the corners of the larger chocolate holder, or you may already have a corner rounder at home):

Stamp Club Projects

I host a regular Stamp Club - usually the first Friday night of each month. I've been running this one for over 9 years, and there are 6 members, 2 of which have been there for the ENTIRE time! 
The ladies in this group have become close friends, and I cherish every one of them! Stampin' Up! has forced me to get out of my comfort zone (my choice!!) I wouldn't have half the friends I do have if I hadn't found SU,  I am very thankful that I found this wonderful company!

These are the projects that we made at our last Stamp Club - each one is made from products in the Santa's Workshop Suite in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.

Mrs Claus Gift Card Holder



Pull-up Gift Card Holder



Elf Treat Holder



I've just updated my Classes page and added these as a taster class so you can see what stamp club projects might be like. 
If you would like to make any of these projects, and you are local to me - Maddington Western Australia, why not book a date with me, and I will show you and a friend or two how to make these? I will also include full-colour instructions so that you can continue to create at home :)
$20 per person  with everything supplied, if you get a group together of 4 or more, then the price drops to $15pp!
If you would like to know the supplies I used to make these projects, see the list below. If you order the supplies needed for these projects, I will send you the instructions to make them for free, with a free gift to say thank you! You can order from me from anywhere in Australia!!
