Welcome to Week 2 of my Christmas Countdown series which is a long, slim Christmas card with Sweet Little Stockings. This is from the Sweet Stockings Suite on page 30-31 of the July/December 2021 Mini. Where do you hang your stocking? I thought – mantlepiece, so here it is! I only used a selection of […]

Hidden Magnetic closure card
Welcome to today’s hidden magnetic closure card. I’m continuing where I left off last Sunday. It occurred to me late in the day that I had not used the pack of papers nor the Host stamp set I had earned during Sale-a-bration and that it finishes on Thursday, 30 September! So I made a variety […]
Gate fold Explosion card – Whimsical Trees
Here’s the Gatefold Explosion card with Whimsical Trees to kick off my 12 week Christmas Countdown series ! I wanted something with a “WOW” factor in Week 1 so after much trial and error and lots and lots of wasted card stock, here’s the result! I’ve ironed out the glitches, so you don’t have to […]

I found these miniature bottles of rum which were perfect for cocktail mixes, and of course, ideal as a stocking filler […]
Gift packaging Sweetest Time
The taste of American chocolate is definitely different from European chocolate. I can’t really put my finger on it. Suffice to say, when Christmas approaches, I do like to have some Hershey Kisses. These aren’t readily available in our local Supermarkets, and I have to order them especially at enormous expense as they are American […]
Simple cards with Dove of Hope
It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas. Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]
