Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Mothers

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today I am hopping with the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop and the theme this month is Mothers. As it was Mother's Day in the UK last month I was not going to make a card so I decided to make a nice little gift box, well bag actually, a mini handbag. i designed this bag to hold 2 mini bars of Greens & Black chocolate but it could equally hold other littler treats of some jewellery.  I have used the beautiful DSP from Boho Indigo Medley which is on the Last Chance Products sale and is a bargain at £39 for the stamp set, Die set, DSP, die cuts, embossed cardstock, 2 reels of ribbon and some flower embellishments.
