Vintage Decs

Morning All!
Hope you are having a lovely Christmas holiday!
Just popping by to share a little Christmas rosette I made using the printable papers from the Crater's Companion 'Vintage Christmas' Cd. I love these nostalgic images and, with a little fussy cutting and help from my Glue Gun I made this little decoration. Making homemade decorations feels really nostalgic to me and reminds me of many happy Christmases when I created xmas decs with my mum and gran - happy memories!

 You can hang this on the tree, (I used twine for a rustic look) or add a message to the back and use it as a tag.

Hope you like it. I'd like to enter it into the Country View Festive Challenge which this month is 'Nostalgic Christmas' and Creative Inspirations' Christmas/New Year Challenge.

Best wishes and bye for now

Christmas Pop Up

Afternoon All!
Are you starting to feel festive yet? Today I'd like to share a pop up card I made using the Vintage Christmas range from Crafter's Companion.

This is a lovely CD with lots of elements for you to fussy cut. I made this pop up so that it can fold flat in to DL sized envelope for a change, created a little scene with images from the toppers and added a lovely festive family sentiment to the front of the box.

I also added a panel to the back to write on and decorated it to match.

Hope you like this card. I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

Winter Wonderland - Let's Get Sentimental

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - The Big Guy (Father Christmas)

Cards Galore Encore - Anything Goes

ABC Challenge - Xtra Special (an extra special family Xmas card)

Thanks for popping by.

Jingle Bells

Morning All!
Just another quick post before I go out! I'm addicted to the Vintage Christmas Cd from Crafter's Companion at the mo, so this project is a 6x6 inch card created using fussy cut images from the postcard and embellishment sections and decoupaged to give dimension.

The lovely papers were also from the Cd and embossed using the Diesire Splendour Embossing Folder which I then edged with the gilding wax.

Hope you like this card, all the elements and sentiments work together really well making cardmaking really easy!

Best wishes and bye for now

Vintage Christmas Tag

Morning All!
Just thought I'd share a tag I made using the new Vintage Collection CD from Crafter's Companion. I LOVE this CD and all the little elements on it - especially as I love fussy cutting!

I printed off three of the papers, embossed them with the Diesire Embossing folder, distressed them and ripped the edges before layering them onto my tag and edging with gilding wax.

I then cut lots of little images and postcards and arranged them before adding ribbon, Stickles Glitter glue and Glossy Accents.

Anyway, hope you like it as much as I've enjoyed creating it! I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

SparklesMonthly Challenge - Christmas in July

Best wishes and bye for now
