It's a Whole Lot of Lovely Lipstick/Lip Balm Box - Dinky and Cute !

It's been a pig of a week !   So many things have gone wrong, the pipes in my airing cupboard developed a leak.  Catastrophe !   Soggy wet towels and bed linen have all had to be re-laundered.  If my daughter hadn't gone to get a fresh towel we could have had a total disaster if boiling hot water had made it through to the plaster board floor beneath.   So many setbacks have mean't a delay in getting the new brochure to some my valued customers in time for today, but I have posted them first class today so hopefully they will be arriving tomorrow.   I prepared in two batches, thinking the second batch would have been dispatched by Wednesday.

Add to that this morning's little disaster !!

I uploaded a video for this project below to Youtube and published it - only to find that technology had defeated me (not the first time !) My edited movie was not there.  Absolutely no idea what happened - my lovely blue opening titles were replaced with a black one and the movie was completely out of sequence.

So it was back to the drawing board and "Take Two" !   I have uploaded again and this time no problems.  I think there were You Tube gremlins at play.  So apologies to those of you who may viewed in a state of complete confusion xx

Everybody loves pretty gift packaging whether they are giving or receiving it.

I wanted to create a pretty little package to hold either a lipstick or a stick of lip balm and everybody knows that small is beautiful don't they ?

So, this is my cute and ditsy little Lipstick Box with a Wrapper Sleeve which has been decorated in a really delicate and pretty piece of Designer Series Paper from the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP pack.

The Badges and Banners stamp set has a really sweet little banner stamp which co-ordinates perfectly with the Duet Banner Punch and was ideal for this project.

I added some Finely Woven Soft Sky ribbon to finish the project as the colour blended perfectly with the floral design of the paper.

Its a really nice, quick and simple little project.   I think it would be a perfect little pillow gift at conventions, but also a great little item if you sell at Craft Fayres.

Hope you like it - and are inspired to have a go at making one.  This video tutorial gives you step by step instructions.

I have so many idea buzzing around my head at the moment.

Who is up for a Christmas Countdown of gorgeous gift boxes and cards ?

I am off to my craft room to start planning this weekend and I hope you will be coming back over the coming weeks to see what I have managed to come up with.

Thanks for visiting today and for being patient - in light of my faux pas.

Bye for now and see you later !
