Christmas Wreath

The countdown to Christmas starts, there never seems enough time no matter how organised you think you are. I finished off a small Christmas wreath last night based on the one which was demonstrated at the Heartfelt event earlier this year. I hope you are all enjoying creating your Christmas items.

Christmas Crackers

I cased these Christmas Crackers from Crafting Becky at http://craftingbecky.blogspot.co.nz
I'm going to be making these and filling them with Christmas goodies for my Grandson's teachers.

Christmas Card Tuesday class

This is one of the 3 Christmas Cards we are making at my Tuesday class this week. I have used the Holiday Frame embossing folder on the whisper white card front, the base of the card is bashful blue and the ink used is midnight Muse. The stocking embellishment is from last year's stitched stocking stamp and punch, with silver glitter paper added and dazzling diamonds added to the stocking and frame. I've added a little piece of the Midnight Muse satin stitched ribbon (Love these ribbons) to the top of the stocking and the sentiment is from the More Merry Messages stamp set as is the verse on the inner of the card.

Sketch Challenge

I am really enjoying the current session at "Stampin Fun and Friends" the designers are so talented and there are such great challenges. This is my card for the sketch challenge.

3D Christmas card

Hi, I love this 3D Christmas card I cased from "Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie" Love her site. The younger generation in our family loved this design. Because the inner of the card is so busy I chose to add a sentiment to the front. The snowflakes on the inner are made using the fabulous silver glimmer paper and the Boho blossoms punch. Dazzling diamonds has been added to the snow on the ground which as usual doesn't show up that well in the photo.

Wedding Card

A good friend of mine asked me to make a card for her brothers wedding. I used the polka dot embossing folder for the top of the front, the edgelits adorning accents for the lower part and the Love and laughter stamp set, which is fabulous for these cards. Cardstock - Whisper White, Bashful blue and the divine silver glimmer paper. 

My class last Tuesday decorated milk formula tins, here are some of them. I put out all of the materials out and let their creative juices flow, some great designs resulted.

Gift Set and Cards

 I made this set for my Mother-In-Law's birthday, the box has 6 standard cards included and the Birthday card and envelope match.

I Used the new Designer Rosette Bigz XL die to decorate the front of the box and used some of the raspberry ripple stitched satin ribbon, I love all of these new ribbons they are so great to work with.
