Sadly we’ve come to the end of this year’s Christmas Countdown Series and in this last episode I have a money wallet for you. We all end up with gifts that perhaps aren’t to our taste, and giving cash as the main present makes my life so much easier. Consequently, I always like to make my […]

Have you heard of Roundpops?
Instead of the traditional candy cane stick, I found these roundpops (yes, that’s what they call them) but instead of being cane shaped, it’s just a round one! I thought they’d make nice stocking fillers, or even table favours or for children to give away as gifts to their friends/classmates and of course it […]

First Frost Harvest

This was inspired by something I’d seen made by my upline Amanda Fowler using the sprig punch and I thought I could adapt it with the Frosted Bouquet Framelits die. If you’d like to see how […]
Christmas Countdown #9 of 12 – Snow is Glistening Gift Packaging

Happiness Surrounds & Christmas Traditions Punch Box
I’m making the most of the newly released “Happiness Surrounds” set whilst I can because it’s only available until 30 November! I made an autumnal card with this set last week, but hit on the idea that the sentiments on this set also fitted perfectly into the Christmas Traditions Punch. Are you always looking for ways […]
