Mother's Day is just around the corner (next week!), so it's definitely time to get crafting and get those handmade gifts ready. Today's post is all about inspiring you with ideas for your Mother's Day crafting. I'm taking part in a blog hop with a great bunch of fellow demonstrators. We're all members of a group called ESAD (Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators. If you're a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group.
Now on to the project! I've put together a cute little Pillow Box gift, using the new Pillow Box Sizzix Die from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue. This is a great little gift for crafty friends (or mums!). I've popped in some samples of the new In Colour ribbons and some pearls from the Pretties Kit. I also made a matching card to go with the gift. You can't see it in the photo, but there is a little pocket inside the card that you can pop a gift card into, completing the gift.
I hope you like my project! The next stop on the blog hop is the super talented Jenny Humphreys. I just love her new mum baby carriage card! So cute!
If you make it around all the blogs on this blog hop, and leave comments on them, you could win some blog candy! Yes we have blog candy! There will be two winners, one from New Zealand and one from Australia. All you have to do is visit and leave a comment on each of the blogs in today's blog hop and then send an email to the lovely Sharlene and advise her that you have commented on all the blogs, and give her your name, email address and tell her whether you are from New Zealand or Australia. Good Luck!
Thanks for stopping by today!
I love the little pillow box. Great mothers day creations.

Very elegant. Really like the idea of putting samples into the pillow box gift.

these are gorgeous Wendy. What a great way to give some product samples. Are those Stazon white ink flowers on the pillow box?
