A Quilted Box

Today, I am sharing a gift I made for a friend for Christmas.

A quilted box containing a small bottle of pink bubbly. 

The fabric I used was a fat quarter which was part of a set I bought in Aldi's.
I lined it with co-ordinating felt from Geoff's Remnant Shop in Brentwood. 

Added some pink shredded paper, wrapped it in cellophane and
added some silver twirled string.

If you would like to see others I have made, you can find them 

HERE and HERE

A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft
where the theme this fortnight is 'New Stash'

All the details can be found HERE

Here is my design team card...

 I haven't bought any new craft supplies for quite a while. I really feel I have

She was having a 'crafty' clear out sale, so this stamp is 'new' to me.

Penny Black wood mounted stamp - Picked For You (2067F)

Promarkers
Sentiment stamp - Craft Magazine free gift

Scor-Buddy

Unicorn Challenge - Clean and Simple

A Two Pocket Gift Card Purse/Wallet

Today, I am sharing a four seam, two pocket purse/wallet that I made to

 hold a gift card which I gave to one of my great nieces for Christmas.

I came across the easy to follow project on Lizzy Curtis's YouTube

channel which you can see HERE

I finished the purse using a KAM Snap fastener.

This is a good project for using up those left-over scraps of material, so

I have since made another two for two other great nieces and I can see

myself making more, maybe in different sizes too.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
