Boxes of Thank you notelets




I thought I'd make some thank you notelets and boxes for my three young grand daughters to use after Christmas (not too sure they will appreciate them though!!) I have made two sets with the butterfly on the box for the eldest two and the bear with flowers for the youngest.


Once I had started I wondered just what I was doing, three boxes with hand made embellishments and coloured with inks, each with six notelets and envelopes inked and stamped too. In fact the first box I had made 4 x 4 and then found the envelopes were 4 x 4 and didn't fit, so had to set about and make slightly smaller envelopes as well for that one...A lesson learnt and the next two boxes were made slightly larger to save the extra work.

Door hangers




I took part in another challenge, this time to make a door hanger for a crafter, these are the two I made.
I made the flowers by using various die cuts through my cuttlebug and layering them up, and added the small rose which is another die that you have to roll up into a flower. I got very inky hands making these....lovely.
