Day 6, Window Box Collection

I may have had a little bit of trouble over the weekend with my day 8 and 7 posts, but I'm back today with a collection of projects using the Window Box (or hexagonal) die.

This card uses the die that fits the top of the box. I have also splattered the card with a clear Wink of Stella Pen for the glittery effect.

 

  

  

 

Another card made with the dies from the Windox Box bundle, uses the candles.

 

Happy Stampin,

Rachel

 

Day 9, Basketball Christmas

I can't imagine why my husband just rolled his eyes  when I showed him this card I quickly made for my son's basketball coach.

My son loved it anyway ;)

 

I used Santa's Sleigh stamp set and dies and Greetings from Santa stamp set.

 

Happy Stampin,

Day 13, Gift Card Box

I saw this sweet box, made by Jan Brown and it was surprisingly easy to make.

It makes giving and receiving a Gift Card a little more exciting.

Super cute using the Candy Cane DSP.

Day 15, Christmas gift idea

     My project today is another mix of old and new. The new is the hexagonal window box from the new Occasions Catalogue and the old of the Festive Flower Builder punch front the Annual Catalogue.

The box has a lift up lid and is the perfect place for a gift voucher for that nearest and dearest who is soooo hard to buy for at Christmas time.

All gift vouchers over $50 come with a free gift box, otherwise $3 each.

Gift vouchers available in any amount up until the 21st of December.

Day 19 Super Quick Christmas Card

I used this Christmas card in a couple of my classes recently and it was very well received. It was a great way for my attendees to practice their Bigshot skills. Just remember to cut the shape, in this case the Christmas tree from Santa's Sleigh, before embossing, in this case the Dynamic Cable Knit Embossing folder😬.

Happy Stampin,

Rachel

Twenty-four day countdown to Christmas, Day 24

I'm very sad to say, I've had my last card class for 2016, but it does give me a chance to have a big clean up and have a play with some new products available from the 4th of Jan.

Here's what I came up with yesterday using the Dragonfly Dreams bundle.

 

 

And a close up of the embossed layering.

 

Which do you prefer?Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum or Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay. I'm still undecided.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with more goodies.

Happy Stampin,

Rachel
