Vintage Christmas Cards using Tim Holtz Ideaology Products

Hi Everyone

I just thought I'd pop on and share some Christmas cards that I've made using a little crafty haul that I recently treated myself to.

I bought myself some new Tim Holtz Ideaology products from Buddly Crafts and Art from the Heart in the UK, both of which I can definitely recommend.

With my goodies I made these three cards and had fun making myself a collaged background and frames. I added some embossing and Gilding Wax and then layered on my paper dolls, ephemera and sentiments.

I made a little video explaining the process and products and would love it if you could pop over and have a look!

Hope you like them and your own Christmas crafting is going well!

Graphic 45 Bauble Gift Boxes

Hi All!

I'm back today with some Bauble Gift Boxes that I made.

I saw the original idea on Stamping with Amore's channel, and have tweaked it to make it my own.

Using Graphic 45 papers from the Twas the Night Before Christmas and Letters to Santa collections, these little gift boxes make great tree hangers, table place settings or alternatives to crackers.

I've made a detailed video showing you how to make them. Hope you like them!

Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook Mini Tag Album

 Afternoon Everyone!

I just thought I'd share a little project that I made using one Graphic 45's Square Tags, and some of their lovely Nature's Sketchbook papers.

I really enjoyed decorating this and adding a little concertina element to make it into a dinky mini album.

I've added a video showing how I made it with measurements in the video comments.

Hope you like it!

Mintay Autumn Woodland Banner

Hi All!

Over on the Mintay Papers blog this month, there is a challenge to create an Autumn themed piece of Home Decor. So I decided to have a look in my stash and came up with this banner using elements from their Woodland, Botany and Old Manor collections, along with some chippies.

I really enjoyed making this fun banner, and loved adding all the fussy cut elements. The rich greens and browns from the Woodland collection created a perfect background for the animals, whilst the Botany warm red and gold flowers added a pop of colour along with the gold sprayed floral chippies.

I've created a video to show how I made it and some close up pics.

Hope you like it!

Simple Pop Up Cards using Graphic 45's Alice's Tea Party

 Morning Everyone!

Before I can get my hands on the new Alice in Wonderland collection just released from Graphic 45, I decided to pull out the previous release - Alice's Tea Party - and make some simple Pop Up cards.

I've created a video (link at the bottom of this post) to show just how easy it is to create these simple yet effective cards.

Hope you like them!
