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.

Easter, The Joy Of Giving

Hello all you bloggers out there,

Thank you for coming back to my blog and taking a look at what we have to offer.
New class for Easter, I was unsure what to do for this class as I wanted to make it different from my other Easter classes. This morning I had an idea and away I went and I'm very happy with the result as you could use this card and box for anything.
I love the new colours that Stampin'Up! came out with this year and haven't used them all together and with the lovely Petal Parade from Sale-A-Bration it was easy.

This class will be held on the 27th March
Morning 10-12 & Evening  7-9
All product is supplied cut and scored for you.
Enjoyable company as well as light refreshments so why not come along and join the fun.

Cheers till next time Gail.

That said I also as most of you do give thanks to all the lovely people who share so much on the internet for us all. I must mention Dawn Griffith who has to take credit for the card that I will be showing you today it was so lovely that I just had to make it and show you. I take credit for the Sticky note Holder but was inspired to make it match the card.

I'm Back

Hi one and all,
I am back on deck after having a knee replacement, not much fun.
I have taken a while to get back to my blog but instead I have been having a lot of fun in my stamping room. I have been very busy making fun things and having the time to do it.
I have not been up to having classes but that said the next class will be on Thursday the 7th November with a Christmas theme of course.
I will only be having the morning class 10am to 12pm to get back into the swing of things.
All products supplied as well as light refreshments for $15.
Email me at gaymere@bigpond.com if you are interested.

We will be making a box to package a small bottle of 200mL Bubbly and a Christmas card that would look good as the centre piece on the Christmas table.

Hope to see you at class,
Cheers Gail.
