I hope you're having a lovely weekend, just as I am - getting ready to have lots of fun at my latest Christmas cards class! I know quite a few of you wanted to come but were already booked (popular lot you are, aren't you!) so I will be scheduling a repeat in October - stay tuned for that. Still finalising my October schedule, and it feels like I just figured out September... Why does time pass so quickly as I get older?! Why do I have to keep getting older, too?!
OK so here's another example of me getting carried away with my new toys. Well at least I can say I've certainly used my lovely new dies enough to justify having bought them in the first place!
I went a little crazy making these treat holders using the Two Tags die, the new Oval Designer Frame embossing folder, Just Add Cake patterned paper and some other things which I can't be bothered listing for you, ha! I've only recently really "discovered" the gorgeous Organza ribbon we've had for quite some time, and now I can't get enough of it! It's one of the most economical ribbons we have in the catalogue at $14.50 (plus shipping) for a whopping 13.7m of it. I think I used about 16cm of ribbon for each of these treats, so you could make a lot of these with one roll. There's a mini chocolate bar tucked away inside each of these treats, I've had to defend the jar against Miss 7 who has her beady eyes on it!
The photo is deceiving by the way - the container is pretty huge! It's 16cm in diameter and 25cm high. So even though it's not full yet, there's a lot of treats in here.
Why did I make so many of these? I wanted to give my customers a little gift, to show how much I appreciate them. We're all watching our money these days, and I love to give you a little extra now and then to thank you for choosing me as your Demonstrator and supporting my business, and to inspire you (and in this case, give you a wee sugar rush!). I'll be giving one of these away with every order of $25 or more, from now until I run out of chocolate (lol I just bought another 30 bars last week...) or I get sick of making them, whichever comes first. So just contact me (click here) to get your hands on one!
Happy stamping!
