I absolutely love to make boxes and other 3D items, but sometimes having some great sturdy foodsave boxes ready to go, that we can just pop together in minutes is just the ticket.
This Christmas we are personally finding things a whole lot different with regards gift giving, we are unlikely to be mixing with family and friends and will need packaging for sending giftcards or vouchers, with maybe a little extra space for some chocolates or sweeties.
These boxes are also the perfect size for some mini cards and envelopes, also making a lovely gift to hold some thank you cards for neighbours or friends, all ready for sending in the New Year to show gratitude for our Christmas goodies. They are also available in a luxurious looking gold foil finish.
There’s been a little decorating of a different kind happening here before the Christmas Decorations came out and it really looks great. Truth is I bought the paint just before the first lockdown in March, but Hubby really isn’t fond of putting bold colours on the wall, but evetually he went for it……
I was trying to give you a Stampin Up colour that is most like our new feature wall and after checking my cardstock swatch from curretn and retired colours I would say, its half way between Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy. I had thought perhaps Dapper Denim (if you remember that one?) but that one was really not as close as I had thought.
We are soon to say goodbye to our January to June Mini publication and we have just this week been given news of the retiring product and those that will return either in the new Annual Catty coming in May, or in the Holiday Mini now called the August – December Mini.
Lot’s of things are retiring and will be selling out fast. some of the retiring product is discounted with up to 50% discount while stocks last have a look HERE to see what’s left. If there were some things you liked don’t miss out, after all Christmas comes every year so there’s plenty of opportunities to use them going forwards. Being more of a Business demonstrator I don’t usually purchase retiring product but I did make a couple of exceptions for some half price dies and punch packs that were far too good a deal to ignore!! Take a look at the ones I went for:
I already had the Brightly Gleaming stamp set featuring these ornaments but hadn’t invested in the punches and chose to fussy cut, but with a 50% reduction it would be so very rude not to, don’t you think?
