Welcome to my blog, if you haven't been here before, my name is Melinda, more often than not i'm called Mel, so feel free to do so also.
I love love love to create and one of my favourite things to do is give gifts to people. Giving is right down my alley! So today i have the gifts i made for a handful of friends at onstage in Sydney Australia.
This will be a photo heavy and long post, so grab a drink get yourself comfortable and off we go.
Unfortunately i couldn't make onstage due to a few things, but i did send along some little gifts i put together. And a friend is bringing my stuff home for me so i'm super excited to see what i got. At the time of writing up this blog Onstage is happening! Fun Fun Fun!
I filled our Tiny Treat Boxes with Cola flavoured Pug Faces and designed the outside using Happy Tails Stamp Set, I stamped the paws in Soft Suede on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock.
I Embossed in Copper for the sentiment and used Copper Foil Sheets for the band and the scalloped backing on the sentiment. To finish the box off, i wrapped some Copper Trim around the box.
I popped the treat box into a little mug that has Crafty imprinted on both sides. It's perfect for us crafty girls and guys. I've had this cup for months now, it's actually my cup of tea mug as it's a perfect size for tea. It shall be fun to see how the receivers use theirs.
My card for the day is simple. Actually, it's #simplestamping
I used nothing but one stamp set, 5 ink pads, and our Note Cards & Envelopes.
I wanted something happy and bright, simply because i love that kind of thing. I sat and played and this is what i came up with.
I used Granny Apple Green for the stems and for the flowers i used Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody and Coastal Cabana.
I hope my little gesture brings a really big smile to the few people getting one. If they smile, i smile!
Below is a list of items used to create this gift set.
Until next time, Be Happy Be Kind Be Creative.
