Stocking filler snow wonder

Stocking filler Snow Wonder

Do you still make up stockings for your children no matter what age they are? As they grow into adults and have families of their own, those “little” fillers become a lot more sophisticated! 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 […]

Hints & Tips – Tag Buffet

The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]

Happy Sunday! I’m playing catch up with some Christmas stamp sets which have yet to see ink! I love the fonts in the “For Unto Us” stamp set. There are no images, just text, so you can virtually use any stamp set in conjunction with this one. There are three cards to share today which […]

Cups, Carriers with Warm Hugs

Goodness me, this is now Week 11 of 12 in my Twelve Week Countdown to Christmas series! Despite the lock down and restrictions seeming to drag on forever, where has the time gone? I finally got round to creating with the Warm Hugs bundle. Those cute mini coffee carriers and mini coffee cups have been […]

Christmas Cracker Poinsettia Petals

Christmas Cracker – Poinsettia Petals

Way back in 2013, when we had the Envelope Punch Board, I had made a hexagonal mini cracker. Now that it is no longer available, I did wonder how I could duplicate it using current card stock. It would be much easier to make it out of ordinary patterned paper, but to make it from […]
