Hello! If this is your first time popping by here from Moxie Fab then I hope you can pull up a seat for a few minutes and take a look around :) And while we're talking Moxie Fab I'd like to say a big thank you to Cath for asking me over there this week.

The other day I started to play around with ideas for an end of term gift for my daughter’s piano teacher who is a HUGE Apple fan. For more details click here. Today I’d like to show you how I’ve been getting on. I felt the bite out of the apple on the original card was too big, so I searched out a smaller punch from a friend and liked the result better.

I made the cards a tad slimmer too; I thought it suited the Apple look and allowed room for a slick black pen in the final package.

I made 10 of the cards and packaged them with the pen in a clear box with a white belly band. Clean, simple and hopefully very “Apple”!

One end of term gift sorted but many more needed so I’m off to put my thinking cap on!

    I didn't think you could improve on the original, but you most certainly did! Awesome!
