Nothing Better than...Chocolate box

Nothing’s Better Than Chocolate

Hi there! Did you see my blog post on Sunday? I made a 40th birthday card with this set for my daughter and now I’m back with a 3D project with “Nothing’s Better Than Chocolate” !!! I have to confess, this stamp set didn’t jump out at me initially, but I’ve grown to love it […]

Witty-cisms Cute Thank you Berry Much box

I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]

“Bambi” box

I love little boxes.  I made one just like the one shown in the mini catalogue,  but in Only Orange as it’s been one of the coloured cardstock I’ve had for ages but haven’t gotten round to using.  Teamed with Old Olive, and stamped in Choc Chip on Whisper White is a pleasing combo.  I […]
