Such a Secret

Hi everyone welcome back,
This weeks class is a card and small box using the Stampin'Up Punch Board for the box.
It is called Such a Secret as you can place money or lottery card or ticket in them and they wont fall out.
I liked the look of the black as it looks very elegant but that said They would look lovely in any colour of your choice. You could place pretty earrings or necklace in the sweet little box as a gift to go with the card or use them separately.
Well, here goes this is this weeks offering, enjoy.
Please leave a comment if you like this weeks card and box, this time I have included the instructions with the pictures so I will wait for feed back to see if you like this.
Cheers Gail.

Maybe Easter

Hello one and all, welcome back.
Well, here we are again another post but running a bit late this time, with Easter catching up fast and small boxes and cards to be made. The project we will be doing this week is one that would be lovely for Easter as the small box could be filled with small eggs and the larger box could take a special egg or small gift not to mention the gift cards would be great to give to someone special.

Classes will be held this Thursday the 10th April morning and evening for the usual 2 hours.
You get to make the two boxes and two gift cards using the 2013-2015 in colour DSP.
You may choose your colour as well as pick any sentiment of your choice.
Class cost of $20 includes all materials to make your cards as well as light refreshments.
Do come along and join in the fun as we have a productive time as well as a good laugh.
Love to see you, email me if you are interested gaymere@bigpond.com
Cheers Gail.
