Ok so Onstage is looming for us demonstrators. The best times of the year for me are these Stampin' Up! events. But ….. swaps always stress me out. Either I don't have time to do them, or I do them and forget to take them. Year on year has been a disaster NOT THIS YEAR ..I have a plan. Let me share with you one of the swaps I will be making.
So provided I don't eat all the mints before the event ...which I have done before groan ! ... this is my swap. A simple and quick ...once you get in the groove.. origami fold after dinner mint box. Super bright and cheery, budget friendly and cute !.. problem solved.
I used Garden Impressions DSP the bright busy patterns are perfect as orientation isn't an issue with this paper, making it soooo much easier to use. And I decorated simply with the A good day stamp set and co-ordinating scalloped circle punches. My little flower comes from the blossom builder punch. You could use any card and ink colour with this project its a great way to use up any scraps.
I do have a fun step by step tutorial for you to watch so you can try this at home … great for teacher gifts, craft fairs, table favours, wedding favours … who doesn't like a little treat ? I know I do.
So grab a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the video.
Happy crafting xxx Amanda
