Dasher Card #1

CLearly For You Gifts

Ghiradelli Box

Book Mark

How awesome is the Clearly for you stamp set( in the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue, page 16), I just love it!! I decided to make another Ghiradelli box (see previous post for more info) and decorate it with this set. I added a velcro dot to keep it closed instead of using a band like in the instruction and just folded a medium oval in half and glued the other side inside the top lid.
The book marks i totally cased, everyone who owns this set is making them, the CEO of Stampin' Up! Shelli Gardner designed it, and i just love it.

Strength & Hope Case

Mini Tissue Box

I got the Strength & Hope set yesterday and was just bursting to play with it. I saw the card on Angie Brown's blog and had to case it, lucky i got the framed tulips embossing folder also in the mail,lol. The mini tissue box  i found on Vicky Hayes's blog she has a tutorial on how to make it.
Another new item that come in the mail was my color spritzer tool, up til recently i was like what am i going to do with that?? well i can't put it down now,lol, i just love how it makes everything so pretty. For anyone unfamiliar with the color spritzer tool it sprays a mist of colour from your marker onto your project giving it a spattered look,awesome!!
