All-Day Large Card Storage Tote - This Saturday.

Hi all,

Hope you're all well and have been enjoying the lovely weather we've been having recently, despite today's downpour for most of the day that is!

Have been busy preparing for my Large Card Storage Tote Event being held this Saturday at my home where the ladies will make their own personalised tote to house their A5 and A6 cards in the designated months :)

I've been busy making a sample for the ladies to view and perhaps for me to keep! lol.

Here's a sneak peek of it below using a mixture of both retired and current Stampin' Up! goodies.

See you on Saturday for the Large Card Storage in full.

Until then, enjoy the rest of your week.

Large Card Storage Tote.

Morning all,

Another day goes by and the roads are getting a lot better to drive on :) As promised I have some photos to share with you of the recent Large Storage Tote that I made on Sunday. I finished making this late Sunday night and took a few photos (knowing that with the poor lighting, I would do more in the morning). Then, Monday morning I took a few more around 7.30am, again the lighting wasn't the best, but had to do some in case I didn't get a chance later. I was hoping to take the pictures in better lighting conditions around midday-ish, but unfortunately, the Large Card Storage Tote left home around 9am and the lighting wasn't much better, so I'm afraid the pictures are the best I could do given the time frame I had.

So, without further ado, here are a few photos from different angles of the Large Card Storage Tote:

Large Card Storage Tote.

Morning all,

Woke up to a foggy day this morning, with more snow melting on the ground, so that's a good thing.

Yesterday I was busy making two Large Card Storage Totes that I had recently been asked to make. I really enjoyed making these, I think I've got them down to a fine art now seeing as I've made three altogether in a matter of a weeks! lol.

Have a good day, and be back in a day or two with photos.

Bye for now,

Alex

Card Storage Tote (Red, White & Blue).

Morning all,

Hope your week is going well and you haven't been hit by the winter viruses/bugs that's been going around at the moment.

Remember I showed you a sneak peek of the Card Storage Tote recently? Well, I finished making it for a lady that saw the one I gave as a raffle prize for the MacMillan Coffee morning back at the end of September. She loved the original one and asked if I could make one to match her kitchen but requested that it be big enough to fit both A5 and A6 cards inside so I had some tweaking to do!

Below is the finished project which I'm really pleased with. She requested that it be royal blue, red and white, so I used both current colours and the retired Brilliant Blue as it was a perfect colour to match her requirements to complete the Card Storage Tote below:

Here's another picture with an insert on show. These monthly card inserts are bigger than the original ones that I have templates for, so I made new matching monthly inserts for the recipient to add special dates for upcoming birthdays and anniversaries to go with the tabs in the same font. With the new Christmas Gift-Giving Bundle Promotion this month, I was fortunate enough to be able to use the new Mistletoe Original Ribbons which match perfectly with her colour scheme :)
