June already!!!!!!

Where is this year going? I can't believe I haven't posted on here for 2 months!!!!

So much for trying to post regularly and making cards the month before they are needed I'm failing miserably, but hey ho life gets in the way sometimes as does work, gardening, lack of energy and mojo.

But the launch of the new Stampin Up catalogue has given me a bit of a spurt and I have enjoyed creating with some new goodies.

I will share theses with you along with some other things I've been making and what I did at the Scrapaholix retreat back in May, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

One of my favourite things I have been making uses the new gift bag punch board. I love giving nicely packaged gifts from chocolate to more expensive gifts.

You can create bags with a width of approx. 7cm, 8cm, 9cm and the depth is 5cm.

You can adjust the height depending on the what you want it to be up to 10" height if you use 12" paper/card depending what you do at the top of the bag.

You can also create boxes, so it's a versatile board and they are super quick to make.

These give you an idea of the size using paper cut at 6" depth.

These use the new Designer Series Paper Stack - these are from the neutrals which  include gold & silver.

The tall bag use a 12" x 12" sheet and I have made a flap at the top, not punched the holes and used a prg to close it.

This bag is another of the patterns in the paper stack. 

Some other new products used are the banner punch, Sprinkles of Life stamp set, cotton paper to make the tassels and the gorgeous In Colour lace.

Check back tomorrow for some boxes made with board.
