Easter Eggs by SVGcuts

I recently purchased a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine and some files from SVGcuts and have been cutting and glueing and as a last minute Easter gift for my colleagues at work, I decided to craft some Easter eggs, using Stampin' Up! cardstock and Designer Series Paper.  They turned out pretty well. I decorated them with buttons and ribbon and stuffed them with shredded paper. Added a few maltezer chocolate Easter eggs, finished them off with a matching gift tag and voila!!



Card in a Box

These cards are all the rage and are relatively easy to make.  Having seen some done by other demonstrators, I decided to tackle one for my Uncle and came up with this creation. He's turning 79 so I chomped out some numbers using my Big Shot, hand cut some cup cakes, macarons and greetings and decorated my card in a box.  Not sure if he understood the concept when he saw it.

Materials used:
Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock
Birthday Basics DSP
"Make a Wish" stamp from Perfect Pennants Stamp Set
Another Great Year Stamp Set
Island Indigo Marker
Rich Razzleberry Marker
Old Olive Marker
Crisp Cantaloupe Marker

I also made one for my friends son, who is turning 6 and is having a Ninjago birthday party.  I hope he likes it.

Club SUM Workshop 11 March 2014


I had been thinking that I would run my workshop as a dinner party..no food, but our projects would make up the menu, so I set about creating a menu.

On my menu, there would be an Appetiser, something small and easy to make. This was the Tag-alicious Topper Gift Tag.  Then the Main Course would be a card project using the Peachy Keen stamp set and On Film Framelits, followed by Dessert, which would make use of the Good as Gold SAB Simply Set Pack.

Then I sent out my invitations using the Celebration Basics Invitations two weeks before the workshop.


I set the table up as you would a dinner party and used my rescued frame to decorate the place.

 As Easter is approaching, I made up some Monster hugs party favours with Malteser bunnies.
