I took my inspiration for a Father’s Day Tackle box card from Stampin’ Up!’s samples in their May 2023 – April 2024 Annual catalogue. Knowing very little about fishing, some of the dies were baffling, but you can be sure that the clues are all in the picture samples in the catalogue. Yesterday, I published […]

Masculine card with Rhino Ready
I am continuing with Rhino Ready to make another masculine card. I added the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set to stamp “dad” then fussy cut these out so that they would fit on the edge of the Radiating Stitches frame. By the way, there is a coordinating punch with the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set but I […]
How to make an envelop treat bag
Today I’m going to show you how to make an envelop treat bag from the humble envelop. With a little modification you can transform it into a gusseted treat bag. I was devastated when I couldn’t find the Designer Tags Dies in the new Annual Catalogue, but was delighted to find that they are still […]

This set was an early release before the January-April […]
Gift bag for Easter with Daffodil Dies
Here’s a gift bag for Easter with the Daffodil Dies. The Daffodil Dies is another golden oldie and I really hope that it will stick around for a while. I used the Daffodil Dies to create die cut daffodils to decorate Stampin’ Up!’s Embossed Treat Bags. Whilst I love creating bespoke packaging for little treats, […]
Easter treat holder with Something Fancy
Easter treat holder with Something Fancy is also combined with the Tulip Dies for today’s project. In the Something Fancy die set, I love the little dies which cuts fancy patterns in the tags and there is one in particular which resembles a tulip. It reminded me that it’s been a while since I used […]
