Graphic 45 '12 Days of Christmas' Cards and Mini Gift Boxes


Hi Everyone! 

Today I wanted to share some cards and mini gift boxes that I made using Graphic 45's '12 Day's of Christmas' collection. I have very little of this collection left so I'm trying to be good and use up what I have to make room for new purchases! lol!

I'm also trying to get back into making some video's for my Youtube channel so have included a link to my latest upload at the end of this post.

The card dimensions used were from Alicia Mcnamara's 'Papercraft Secrets' blog - so thank you for this fun card fold, which is another take on the Gatefold Card.

As always there is lots of fussy cutting which I really enjoy!

Hope you like my makes!

Mintay 'Time of Wonder' Gift Boxes

 Hi Everyone!

Just popping by to share my latest makes - some little gable Gift Boxes using Mintay's lovely 'Time of Wonder' papers. (Youtube video ink at the end of the post.)

These little boxes are roughly 3 1/2 x 4 inches with a depth of 2 inches and I made them to hold a little chocolate snowman and a lottery ticket as a little table gift for some girl friends when we go out for our Christmas meal.

I really enjoyed fussy cutting the images from the 6x6 pads and decorating these boxes.

Hope you like them!






Here is a link to my Youtube video to see the boxes in more detail :

Yeti or Not...

 Evening Everyone!

Its a while since I've shared a little pop up using the Platform Pop Up Die from Lawn Fawn, so I thought I'd make one with the Yeti or Not images, also from Lawn Fawn for a non traditional, fun little Christmas card.

I coloured the images with my Spectrum Noir Triblends :)

Hope you like it!

Let It Snow

 Afternoon All.

Just popping in to share a couple more Christmas card makes. These are a couple of cuties using Hello Bluebird's 'Let It Snow' stamps. I love how you can change up the colours and make them look completely different. I took my colour scheme from my Lawn Fawn papers and love the way they turned out.

Hope you like them, I coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Triblends :)

Lacy Mintay Winterland Cards

 Afternoon All!

It sure is a chilly one here!

Today I'm sharing four cards I made with the Mintay Winterland papers. I've only managed to buy two of the frames and images sheet and three single sheets of this lovely paper collection so I'm trying to make as many things as  I can from the pieces I have.

These are 6x6 cards with two inches cut from either side of the front panel. I've then added a die cut image using Crafter's Companion's Catania die and then layered up my images on top. The background papers are all from one sheet matted on to Satin Silver card. I love that they look dimensional but fold flat for posting.

Hope you like them!

Festive Fox

 Hi All!

Trying to keep on track with some Christmas card making as I've set myself the challenge of only sending out handmade cards this year (if I do it it will be the first time ever!).

So for these two cards I used Hello Bluebird's 'Pumpkin Time' stamp set. The little fox originally had pumpkins in his wheelbarrow but I chopped those out and added little presents instead. I also went with a non traditional colour scheme for a change.

The papers are from Doodlebug and I used my favourite Spectrum Noir Triblends to colour the images in.

Hope you like them!
