I guess almost everyone’s buzzing with anticipation on Christmas Eve, especially the children for Santa, families coming together, houses bursting at the seams with extra house guests, presents wrapped and under the tree, the turkey and all the trimmings prepped and ready to go, a larder groaning under the weight with grub to feed the […]
Hooked on Baubles!
Trying to share the remaining christmas cards this year before Christmas! I’d been putting off using this stamp because I thought the colouring would be time consuming. I was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it was – the fussy cutting took longer, wouldn’t you know! hehe! – not really, only where the holly leaves […]
Festival of Trees – pyramid card
Festival of Trees – pyramid card. Talk about a trip down memory lane – the pyramid style card was a swap from lovely Sam, a fellow team mate back in 2009! I’m re-visiting this fun-fold as I thought it would suit the Festival of Trees stamp set. It was also one of the first techniques […]
Christmas Bauble
I’m enjoying using my Blendabilities. I stamped the bauble on Whisper White, did my colouring then fussy cut the bauble and adhered it to a Crumb Cake layer. The rebel in me also glued the Crumb Cake layer at a jaunty angle – great modern twist, don’t you think? Hover over the bottom […]
Bonus video – Gift tags
As promised, here’s the bonus video. I love Stampin’ Up!’s colour co-ordination, everything comes together so quickly and with such pleasing results. There’s such a sense of satisfaction to gift giving when you can add your own personal touch. These labels were quick and easy to make. Enjoy!
Countdown to Christmas #12 – Gift Wrapping

Whenever I buy gift wrap, even at christmas time, it is always with a view to being able to use it all year round. My prayers have been answered, upmarket brown paper, double sided, printed on one side and plain on […]
White Christmas anyone?
Tee hee! I have something new on this card – can you spot it? I love that flattened christmas tree which lies on the roof of the car. I stamped the trees in Island Indigo, then stamped a shadow using Soft Sky. With the two way glue pen, I traced the branches randomly and followed […]
Christmas Countdown #11 – Wondrous Wreath
I got my Christmas Countdown weeks a little mixed up thinking this week’s one is week #10 but in fact it’s week #11. So this is the penultimate one in my Countdown to Christmas series. This one is specially for the lovely Val who invested in this set and for some it’s a refresher course […]
