Let's Get Hopping 46 - Anything but a Card


I everyone I am back with the Let's Get Hopping crew for the 'Anything But A Card' theme. If you have joined me from Tanya Rees blog I am sure you have seen an amazing creation. I can't wait to check it out myself.

As I imagine with the mini catalogue underway a lot of us have started thinking about Christmas and I for one have even started singing carols. Especially after seeing the gorgeous stamp sets 'For Unto Us' pg. 41 and 'Holly Jolly Wishes' pg.29. I can't help but singing away reading those sentiments.

Lately I have found myself making up gift boxes and filling them up with goodies that I know the person will just love. So with that in mind my project this month is a nail polish gift box with a matching nail file holder.

From the Mini Catalogue July - December 2021 I have use the Whimsy & Wonder 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper pg.25 along with the Sweet Little Stockings, Stocking Dies pg.31 and the Glittered Organdy Ribbon pg.37.

For the nail polish box I have CASED Pootles design from 2015, I love her 3D projects and it is so easy to modernise and put your own twist on them with the latest products available.

To make the box you will need:

Cardstock measuring 13cm x 13.5cm

Score longer side at 3cm, 6cm, 9cm and 12cm

Score short side at 3cm and 10cm



I love how the sparkle on the ribbon complements the sparkle in the designer series paper.

To make the nail file folder I have used a piece of cardstock measuring 28cm x 4.5cm

Scored at 18.5cm and 19cm.

For the curve on the nail file holder I used one of the stocking tips found in the Stocking Dies set. It is always fun working out different uses for your dies.

Let's Get Hopping 44: Favourite Occasions

I am back again with the awesome Let's Get Hopping crew. For this months hop we are looking at our favourite occasion. Be sure to hop through all of the blogs as there are some great inspirational ideas for a range of occasion. I love crafting for all kinds of occasions.  Birthdays are always a necessity, particularly with my big family!  However, one of my favourite things to do is to crochet or knit gifts for newborn babies/children and I love to make a box or bag to match as I feel this makes the gift even more special.  I find people always react positively to the gift bag as well as the gift inside, and you just know they are going to keep the bag to pass on and gift to someone else when the time comes.  Lately I have been busy making this cable knit hat for my cousins baby shower and of course I had to make the gift box to match.  For the gift box I have used the Treasures of Life stamp set. This set is gorgeous for grandparents, children or babies. The images stamp beautiful

Let's get hopping 49 - Sketch Challenge

It is so nice to be back with you again along with the Let's get hopping crew. Only 5 days till Christmas and we are certainly excited about it in our house. We have got our freshly cut tree up, decorated and smelling amazing, the children are counting down the sleeps till the big red man himself comes for a visit. I hope you are all keeping well and are too looking forward to spending some quality time with your family and friends over the season. For this months challenge the Let's get hopping crew have made cards using the following sketch as a guideline to follow. My take on the sketch features the gorgeous Whimsy & Wonder designer series paper. I really wanted to highlight the beautiful colours in this paper. I have paired this the Peaceful Deer stamp set, the Stockings Dies and the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I would like to take this moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderfully Happy New Year. Click the Next Blog button below to check out Tany
