Novembers card class we will be making two Christmas cards and a super Christmas stocking suitable for gift cards.  One of the cards is an easel card with a battery operated tea light inside!

Please get in touch if interested in booking a place for this class.

Christmas Gift Tags

I have been getting myself ready for my first Christmas Craft show in November.  The last couple of days have found me making gift tags.

I really like this colour combo, Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler!

I used the Merry little labels stamp set and punch for these tags, I also stamped the background on two of my sets with Pool Party ink.  

Still lots more items to make!

Birthday cards

I had a rush job on today as my husband needed a birthday card for work.  I decided to make two of the same card.

I received this bundle a couple of weeks ago but this is my first play with it.  Its a great set.Oh so eclectic.

Tags and Trimmings Christmas Stockings

Join me in making three Christmas Stockings

I have classes available to come to my small studio and make three stockings.  These stockings are great for gift cards and small presents.

They can be made to hang from your tree or you could make for your Christmas table and use as a table favour, filling with mints or chocolates.

Please get in touch on my blog or facebook page and book a place.  Mornings and afternoons available  during October.

Christmas gift bags

This weekend I have been working on items for a Christmas Craft Fair that I am taking part in in November.  I found some brown bags in my stash, that are now retired.  Although if your interested in making this item Stampin Up sell a Framelit (on page 212 of the Annual Catalogue) that makes up small bags.

I started by stamping reindeer all over the bag, in white ink.  Then I cut out a white stitched circle, which I stamped and embossed in copper embossing powder.  I used a sentiment from the Tags and Trimmings bundle.  The leaves were stamped and die cut using the Oh so eclectic bundle and the star was die cut using a die from Tags and Trimmings in Fresh Fig.  I used Soft sky as a strip for the background, again  using the star to cut from the bottom.  All finished off with a bulldog clip.

Advent Calendar

This week I have been working on an Advent Calendar, I made twenty three 2" boxes which I covered in retired paper Warmth and Cheer paper stack, this is only £3.60 in the clearance rack at the moment.  Then I made one box  using the Window Box Thinlit die which is for the special 24th

They all look great in the black fabric covered box, I shredded some brown paper to nestle them inside

September Card Making Class

Yes we are starting Christmas cards.  No it's not too early!  We will be making three cards a month from September until November in the card class,  December's class we will probably be making gift boxes and gift tags and maybe a stamped candle.  This class covers different card making techniques and folds.  All materials are supplied in the cost of the class which is £8.00

This months cards

Two of these cards are, hopefully, quick and simple because the card with the ribbon is a bit more time consuming, but not difficult.  I have cased this card fold from Amanda Bates from the Craft Spa, but decoration is my own.
