An oldie but a goodie - Snowmen

Hello Everyone,

I have some amazingly talented friends in the crafty world and today I want to share an idea I received from one of them.  Her name is Vicki and she provides me with lots of inspiration when it comes to 3D type projects.  Her blog is called Cards on the Table with Vicki .  I'm linking to a specific post from 2012 where she made Snowman Tic Tac holders for gift giving and actually sent me a sample.  Instructions are on her blog.

My girls thought there were a fantastic idea, and of course asked me to make some for their friends.  Anna has requested a few more this year for her close friends.  When your on a good thing, stick to it, right?  It saved me coming up with something new, which I would have turned to Vicki once again for, in any case.

Here they are.


Cute, aren't they.  Thanks for the awesome idea, Vicki.


My daughter needed a Secret Santa present in a hurry, so I turned to my little premade packaging and decorated another both which I filled with sweet treats.


Here is is again from another angle.  Oops, I hadn't noticed one of the Gems had slipped until after I'd photographed this box.  It's now been rectified.


Anna was happy with these.  Hope your Christmas preparation is going well.

    You are most welcome my dear. Love the way yours turned out. The box full of chocs and lollies is perfect for a Secret Santa too.Vx

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
