Accordion Box is great for cards or recipe file.
This is made in the colours of Old Olive and
Chocolate Chip. This box also includes Hodgepodge
Hardware.

Instead of wrapping paper, why not cute and easy boxes like these.
I hope to add a better picture, but we have a rainy day here so the light is not that great.

Pizza Boxes, a fun and easy gift to make. I always include some paper notes with a slight print, just to add to the gift. You can be as creative as you like or simple like this. Make some and have them aside for that little gift to say Thank-you or welcome, what ever the occasions.




Chocolate treat pull out boxes. You just have to undo the bow and pull. The chocolate pops out. Red Riding Hood and Pacific Point are the main colour's used. Designer series papers used are Bella Rose and Good Morning Sunshine. I coloured one of the flowers from the Pretties Kit (109114) in Pink Pirouette to match the Bella Rose paper on the Red Riding Hood box. On the Pacific Point box I used a Sweet Sticky Cuts ( 114301) with Fine Supernova (114287) over the image. Also used in colour Ribbon, the Curly Label Punch and stamp ( 112966) and Circle Fire Brads (109110).



I have used this years in colours for this card. I have used Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, a touch of Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. I used the masking technique for the Blue large flower so I could get the other coloured flowers nice and close without stamping over the main image. I then stamped another large blue flower, cut it out then mounted it on top with some Stampin Dimensionals (104430).I also inked around the outside of the Whisper White card stock to give some boundary.
The lovely Australian Bloom Away (114306) sets
is one of my favourites. I love the colour you can
use, here I have used Old Olive, Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip. I also used the new Build-a-Brad. I stamped and coloured in 2 Banksia flowers then
punched a area of the second flower out with the 1/2" Circle punch (104390). I also used the crimper, Hodgepodge and 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.

For this card I used the Hostess Level 2 stamp Set Rustic Rooster, which is also one of Shelli's signature collection stamps. I used Old Olive for the main card. This was sponged over with Old Olive ink. Next was More Mustard card stock which I put through the Crimper ( 101618), to give it a country feel. My Rooster was stamped onto Whisper White then water coloured. I also sponged More Mustard ink around the Rooster. I used the Spiral punch (108341) to add a little something extra. The accessories I used was some Hodgepodge and 1/4 Grosgrain Ribbon. I hope the Picture picks up the detail well enough.

Here is some Box-a-bags that I made not that long ago. These would make some lovely teacher present bags or for special gifts. You can create them in any colours, and able to decorate them with just about anything.
