Homemade Goody Packages

Posted by: Natasha | Comments (1)

Have I got a “treat” for you today!!

It’s my latest tutorial available today!!

I have combine my two favourite hobbies – baking and papercrafting – to create the ultimate gift!  Nothing says “I’m thinking about you” more than a plate of homemade treats…cookies, mini cupcakes and muffins, mini loaves…YUM!  But the paper plate and Saran Wrap packaging scream something else.  Next time you are delivering a homemade treat to a friend, say, “You’re the best friend ever!” by presenting the goodies in one of these cute little packages.

The tutorial includes instructions for all three packages:

* cookie bag

* 1/2 dozen mini cupcakes or muffins container

* 4 mini cupcakes or muffins box with see through lid and belly band

This tutorial is 23 pages full of step-by-step instructions and has over 50 photos to assist you all the way in creating your goody packages!  It is available today for $3.99 CAD.

Here are some other photos of the projects:

I have used minimal supplies to create these packages so it will be easy for you to recreate:

* 1 package of Elegant Soiree DSP,

*1 stamp – Homemade, 

*4 colors of cardstock – Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla

* 4 punches – 2 3/8″scallop circle, 1 3/4″ circle, eyelet border and round tab

*minimal amount or accessories such as 1 brad and a bit of ribbon here and there

Order today and get baking!  I would love to see the packages you create for your loved ones!!

TTFN!

Teacher Gift

Posted by: Natasha | Comments (1)

This is what my youngest daughter is giving Ms. Wagner at the end of June for being such an awesome teacher:

A purse!!  This is of course Becky Robert’s Purse-onally Perfect Notes Tutorial.  It was so easy to make and fast too!  You would not believe how sturdy this thing is – just look at everything I was able to fit in here and the handles still do not bend and buckle when I pick it up:

* bottle of hand sanitizer

*pack of gum

* note pad and pen combo

*chapstick

*gift certificate & holder – not pictured

(I forgot to take it out of the purse’s beautiful front pocket)

Everything a lady needs!!

TTFN!

End of the Season Stamp Club Gifts

Posted by: Natasha | Comments (0)

I’m sure you know by now, one of my favorite things to do, is give little thank-you gifts to my customers when they attend classes and such.  Well, every year I like to also give my stamp club members a little “thanks for joining stamp club” gift.  This year I am handing out these little cuties:

I’m showing you these treat holders empty – I don’t want to spoil the whole surprise for my club members!  You’ll just have to wait to see what I put in these babies.

These little holders are from Becky Roberts at InkingIdaho.  They are part of her 12 Days of Christmas 2009 Edition Tutorial.

 

WHAT ARE THESE GOING TO BE???

I have spent many an hour the last few days tracing patterns, cutting out and scoring about 33 pieces to make something really fun for my year-end piano recital on June 24th.  I can’t wait til it is finished so I can show it to you!

Can you guess what these pieces will end up as???

TTFN!
