Daphne's Diary Flip Through and My Makes

Today I thought I would flip through the beautiful Daphne's Diary magazine and then show you how I was inspired with their beautiful images and papers.

The projects I made are only a few of the ideas that I came up with, but there is so much inspiration within the papers that you can follow as well. This is such a lovely festive read, sure to get you in the mood for Christmas, even in the final days before the 'big event'. I hope you enjoy it.

Mintay Christmas Home Decor Challenge and Teacup Tutorial

This festive season Mintay PapersMintay held their latest challenge which was to create Christmas Home Decor. As I love flavoured teas with my Christmas biscuits and sweet treats, I decided to make a Biscuit barrel and some little teacups to hold the treats.

I used Mintay's previous Christmas Collections - Merry and Joy, and Merry Little Christmas. Included is a tutorial showing how to make the teacups - perfect for many occasions if you simply change the papers.

Classy Graphic 45 Self Close Gift Boxes

 Looking for a classy little gift box to house a small present? Then this easy project is perfect! The dimensional sides make it really different and the self close top is easy to pop your prezzy inside.

I used Graphic 45's lovely Deck the Halls papers and lots of fussy cut elements, but you could also use die cuts.
All instructions are in my video - hope you like them!

Graphic 45 Christmas Tree Treat Decorations

Hi Everyone!

These mini Christmas Tree Treat Decorations are such fun to make. They take minimal supplies and are a great project to make whilst watching TV. I used Graphic 45's Night Before Christmas papers, and they fit a little chocolate treat inside. I added two Terry's Chocolate Orange Segments in each. (They're not Terry's - they're mine lol!)

Hope you enjoy making them - all instructions are in my YouTube video.
