Last weekend I held the penultimate classes for 2013 – the theme being Christmas Gifts and Packaging. It turned out to be a bit of a chocolate fest because three out of the four projects involved chocolate in some shape or another.
I’d like to share three of the projects (only two of them involved chocolate) because I’ve already shared one of them – the Table Treats, see my blog of 30 October (there is a link in the comments section of that post to the instructions).
This one involved chocolate |
and a piece of 12″ x 12″ Old Olive card stock |
The cracker was made with the help of the Envelope Punch Board. On first sight the instructions looked a little daunting but everyone soon realised that they were in fact pretty straight forward. The difficulty (all mine) was working out the scoring and punching measurements so that the box of chocolate (Maltesers, and I guess I should add other forms of chocolate are available!) fits into the middle section of the cracker leaving enough card stock for the ends.
This too involved using the Envelope Punch Board |
I saved this project to last |

The next few days are going to be busy and very exciting as I am off to my first Stampin’ Up! Convention. All my swaps are finished, and we are driving to Manchester tomorrow (Thurs) for two and a half days of Stampin’ Up! fun. I’ll share my swaps later this week and will try to write a quick post while I am there. I can’t promise lots of photos. I hoping that we might get some sneak peeks and I know I will be sworn to secrecy about those.
My last class of the year is being held on 13 December at 7.30 pm. I have some places left so if you are interested in coming along drop me a quick line via email at fiona.whitten11@gmail.com
