Snowflakes

Some of my snowflake cards

with crochet snowflakes that can be hung on your tree.

Matching envelopes of course!

Gift Boxes

Some simple gift boxes made with the Scoreboard,

gift tags from Chalk Talk.

Simply work out the  length, width, and height of your gift,

and you can make your own unique box!

Here's some gift card holders too, for money, vouchers or gift cards

I stamped one in Old Olive, and one in Cherry Cobbler,

cut out the frames, and swapped them over,

to make multi coloured tags.

Thanks

...or Thx!

Using my new Thinlits circle flip card die,

a very simple thank you card.......

Christmas Star

This is a variation on the Starburst technique.

I made a mask by cutting out every other strip, from a hand drawn starburst.

I stamped my focal point star in Island Indigo.

I then inked and stamped snowflakes in the background, added some stars,

a rhinestone, and the greeting.

Obviously I made an envelope with my new best friend, the Envelope Punch Board

from Stampin' Up!

Bring on the cake

Happy birthday Sis-in-Law!

I hope she appreciates there's no numbers on her card!

I've been trying out my new Thinlits flip card dies from Stampin' Up!
Melon Mambo and Silver give it some zing.....

Here's the 'flip' side.....

I raised up the heart and 'sister' on the little banner dies that come in these sets.

We had a lovely family lunch today,

but perhaps I shouldn't have eaten the 'chocolate overload'!

Her Mum made a beautiful birthday cake too.....saving that for later!

The diet starts again in January lol.

It was a lovely day, with her Parents, Grandad, Aunty, Brothers, Sister and Nephews....

we are truly blessed!

shake it all about

Hiya

Sorry I've been absent all week!

Probably like you, I've been busy making cards, boxes, crackers etc.,

in fact it nearly sent me crackers!

Luckily I had a lovely lunch with a friend on Thursday, and a lace making class on Friday that helped keep me sane,

and today the lace group I belong to had it's xmas party too!

I can now show you some of my cards, as the recipients have received them,

so I won't spoil the surprise!

I was with some friends recently, and managed to borrow a stamp that I thought was very cute.

No idea of the manufacturer, but a big Polar Bear cuddling a little one,

sat on an iceberg, looking up at a star.

Hence I used blue ink, and made a 'shaker' frame with my oval framelits from Stampin' Up!

Embossed the background with the polka dot folder, great for creating a snowy scene.

Some chunky glitter from Stampin' Up! to 'shake' about.....

except I think I put in a bit too much!

The frame is cut from silver glimmer paper, ribbon adds a nice border.

Tonight my lovely man is cooking fillet steak for dinner,

and I'll probably have a nice glass of red with it.

How lucky am I ?!?!?!?!

Hope you are having a good weekend too
