Sweets & Treats in a box

 'Twas the night before christmas........

I cased copied this idea from Lisasstampstudio...........a Buckle card using Sweets & Treats

The left edge of the topper tucks into a slot to keep the card closed

I made quite a few for friends.

There's lots of glossy accents, sparkle and glitz that doesn't show up

I then packaged some treats in boxes and used the card as the decoration.

It sits nicely on top of the treats, hides the contents and I liked the plain look

It was a good way of using up papers too!

Happy Christmas Eve to you, sleep well, otherwise he won't come ;),

and enjoy your day tomorrow

Let it Snow

 Well, I hope it doesn't actually :)

This card and the one on christmas day were made from kits gifted by a friend,

she is a lover of die cuts, and has some beauties.

I’m entering this one on the Allsorts Challenge Blog 

Where the theme is winter…..brrrrrrr

Keep warm!

Playful Penguin and more Baubles

 I made this fancy fold from an idea of Kim Fee (I think!)

A quick fun card

That opens to reveal another penguin friend

I then needed yet another card, so copied my Snippets one recently,

this time adding big pearly sparkly  Opal Rounds

and some natural twine

Sending love

 A couple more to share before the big day....

I like the embossed background and strip of dazzling paper.

Like Val said, she can't see where she's going though!

A final Poinsettia using the lovely music embossing folder which a brushed some ink over

I felt no sentiment required on this one

Whimsy and Wonder quick cards

 I hope you don't need any more cards to send this christmas,

but if you do, or want to start next years, here's some quick ideas

using the Whimsy and Wonder DSP

The paper does all the work, then I made another gift card holder,

which I'm keeping for next year's, unless I lose it or come up with another idea!

Fancy Phrases

There's a new bundle called Eden's Garden, which comes with papers, stamps, gems etc. 

I used Fancy Phrases to stamp and colour a floral focal point

the gems are gorgeous

and there's a lovely lot of dies including a rectangular wreath

I love the colours too.....Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent
