Thankyou so much flyingpig for taking the time to keep the thread going and for your tutorials it does get expensive trying to buy all the bits I did treat myself to the big shot a while back but then there is everything else I end up buying:o

Hollie – fab box and tea/coffee holder. They look fab xx

Butterscotch – fab snowman soup and gift card holders, love the design of the holder. Can you share where the instructions are from to make the gift card holder? Great idea for an advent calendar too.

Thanks for all the advice Helen. Love your candy mouse.

I have the instructions as a .pdf but not sure where they came from originally. It's very each - cut A4 card length ways, score half way then 7.7cm from each end. Fold in half then fold the ends the other way. Stick the middle bit together to get the pocket then punch in the inside. If that doesn't make sense I could try and put up some photos tomorrow.

I am sorry I haven't poked my head in for a few pages ..... this thread seems to have become VERY busy .... as I have been and I know I need to answer a few questions!!!!

Some of you may know that I write two blogs (yes I am totally mad) one which is all singing all crafting and the other which is all fun called Mum's Monkey" about my two soft toy monkeys ................ well I have fallen right back with the Monkey one .... and need to write about 7 posts this weekend to keep it going ...... for both of my blogs I write a lot of posts well ahead of myself and then schedule them, there is no way I could right the up on a daily basis)

I love your thread with the monkeys on, got it bookmarked

I'll second that! Thank you, I dont have all the tools and dont really have a lot of spare money to be spending on expensive equipment, going to give those bags a go tomorrow!

I've got a cartridge with a shape that I think would be perfect for the toppers. Will check tomorrow and if it's a good fit I'm happy to cut some for people as long as they aren't fussy about the colours. Will try for Halloween/Christmas/Valentine's colours.

Wow - this is a great thread! I used to do a lot of card-making and scrapbooking, but have not had much time lately. I feel inspired to start again!

I love the little home-made Christmas gifts. I think I am going to try the Rudolph covered chocolate oranges for my children's teachers, and the sour cream cartons with lots of little gifts for my children's friends.
