Angela's PaperArts: Christmas chocolate slider box

Do you need an affordable gift for friends & work colleagues? Then this chocolate slider featuring Stampin' Up!'s retiring Leaves of Holly bundle is the perfect solution.

You simply make an open ended box and slide a chocolate bar into it between some ribbon and tie it into a bow.

 Pull the ribbon bow and the chocolate slides out of the box.

These slider boxes can be made to fit any size of chocolate bar and decorated to suit any occasion.  I've used the retiring Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly stamp set & co-ordinating Holly Berry dies to decorate the largest chocolate slider, but you could use any embellishments to suit your purpose.

Angela's PaperArts: Whimsical Woodland Masked Christmas Card

I wanted to highlight how cute the Stampin' Up! Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder is on these cards.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder mask technique Christmas card

I used a masking technique to create the coloured centre piece to highlight the embossing on both of these cards.  For the card on the left, I used metallic gilding polish from my stash for a bright finish.  For the card on the right, I used a Stampin' Up! blending brush to blend three inks for a softer look. 

Which do you prefer? 

Here's the brighter version with a metallic gilding polish centre.Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder mask technique Christmas card

Here's the ink blended version with three different Stampin' Up! ink colours.

Angela's PaperArts: Framed Florets Christmas Card

Some of my friends like non-traditional Christmas colour schemes and so I made this Christmas Centre Split Panel special fold card for them.  It features the new Stampin' Up! Framed Florets dies along with the limited edition Framed & Festive stamp set & Fitting Florets designer series paper which is only available while stock lasts or until 4 January

I used the largest oval die from the Stampin' Up! Framed Florets dies to join the top and bottom sections of the front of the card together.
