Milk Carton Gift boxes

Hello Everyone :)

With Christmas fast approaching I've been looking for some different ways to package gifts.

Each year my family buy a 'table gift'. It's a little gift given after dinner, usually something funny and never expensive!

One year I made 'sock cupcakes'

This year I 'm thinking of these........

Milk Carton Gift boxes!

I'm not sure what will go in them yet LOL! but I do love their simple cuteness :)

These milk carton gift boxes were made at the Craft 4 Eternity September crop using Bazzill Kraft Cardstock and Memories Blossoms paper. 

Have fun!

Bunting Bug!

Hello everyone :)

The June crop class was a lovely bunting banner, with only a couple of techniques it was easy to make a fabulous banner for any occasion.

Margaret brought a few of banners to the July crop that she had made at home. She certainly got the bunting bug! She brought 6! and had given a few away as gifts already!

I was so impressed I thought I'd share her wonderful creations with you :)

This is the one that started it all using the kit provided on the day and some die cut letters to finish.

I loved the die cut butterflies and purples on this one.

This one was just waiting for the letters to be finished. The cream & pink colours worked perfectly together.

On this one Margaret has added die cut flowers in a gorgeous aqua colour.

The flowers on this one have been coated with crackle accents which gave them a lovely texture and the wonderful curl.

Corrugated CS, die cut letters and perfect colour combo....this has to be my favourite :)

Which is your favourite?

Have fun!

Michele :)
