A fun Curvy Keepsake Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Here is a fun curvy keepsake box inspired by a creation I saw over on an Australian blog hop. It combines the gorgeous Sprinkles of Life stamp set with the Tree Builder Punch and Curvy Keepsake Thinlit Dies.

It is such a summery little box. It would be perfect for a teacher gift or little summer party favour. You could create a tag to attach to the handle to personalise it for any occasion.

I created the grass around the bottom using my Fringe Scissors and added the trees punched from Soft Suede and Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper.

Easter Garden Chocolate Treat Holder

Good morning and welcome to another crafty Easter Treat morning here at Stampin' Sarah! How is your week going? Only 2 more work days and then a long weekend to look forward to. I have my fingers crossed for some lovely sunshine over the weekend so we can all make the most of the 4 days off.

So today's crafty make is a table decoration or Easter gift (this could easily be packaged in a cello bag with a label as a simple gift).  I created this little treat holder using a glass tealight holder from IKEA. I purchased a number of them for my all day Christmas Crafting Extravaganza. You'll find the stamping tutorial for my earlier project here. You could easily substitute the tealight holder for a plastic cup for the same effect.

I used my Stampin' Up! Fringe Scissors to create the grass effect. I cut a length of Pistachio Pudding cardstock and then after fringing I wrapped this around the glass (securing with Sticky Strip to make sure it didn't slip or fall off). I decorated with tiny flowers punched using my Itty Bitty Shapes Punches and embellished with Basic Pearls. I finished with a length of Whisper White Organza Ribbon and filled with chocolatey treats.

And don't forget today sees another set of products appear in the Stampin' Up! Weekly Wednesday Deals. Click the picture below to link straight through to my Online Store and this weeks promotional products.
