Cup of warmth

Get saving for the new Spring catalogue everyone.  There are some great things in there and you will so want one of the punches - trust me!!!

I've had a slight dabble in pre-order purchasing but (apart from a quick punch to test the fabulousness of said punch)  am now trying to focus on sorting out this Christmas business!

Anyway, a lovely Bloomin' Buds meeting this week.  We all took a secret santa gift, this was mine:

I've made a box using the gift box board but folded the openings back on themselves.

I've used the fun flower punch and matching stamps and the petite petals set too.

I chose the 2013-2015 in colours to keep the gift away from being strictly Christmas.

Leaves were from the Flower Fair framelits set.

Inside the box sat this little cup to which I've added a decorated stirrer, hot choc sachet and marshmallows.

A great idea I saw the lovely Clare Rowlands demo on tv and you can get the instructions here on the Hobby House website.

Remember to ask for punch money for Christmas!!  hee hee.

Beautiful Bunch

This card has also used crumb cake as a base.

The gorgeous embossing folder is called Lovely Lace and the flowers are from the stamp set Beautiful Bunch - with matching punch no less!

The flowers are in the new colour Hello Honey.

The leaves were cut using the Flower Fair Framelits in Mossy Meadow and some ribbon to match is under the sentiment from the new Hey You set.

My blogging has been a little shabby recently but I am now officially having a week off but have to share some new ideas with you when I come back!!

Don't forget to keep checking the weekly deals - the fab cupcake punch is on offer this week!
