 Morning Everyone!

A few more Christmassy makes using the remaining pieces of my lovely 'Merry Little Christmas' papers from Mintay. Two stepper cards and three tags - great for using up all those fussy cut images!

Hope you like them!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Graphic 45 Christmas Carol Quick Cards

 Hi Everyone!

I really needed a few quick Christmas Cards for some neighbours, so I turned to my 'little' bag of previously fussy cut elements from Graphic 45's 'Christmas Carol' collection and came up with these 6 x 4 cards using lots of layered 'scraps'. All that fussy cutting in front of the TV earlier in the year really paid off lol!

I really like how they turned out and have popped a little video on my Youtube Channel showing the cards and how I made them in more detail if you need some last minute ideas   https://youtu.be/pYlQFmeFWWU

Hope you like them!

Mintay Chocolate Box Sleeve

 Hi Everyone!

Back to share my idea for very quick stocking fillers and last minute gifts. These are my Chocolate Box Sleeves where I have made new sleeves for prepacked Toffifee chocolates. 

I made the sleeve from Kraft card and used Mintay's 'Merry Little Christmas' papers to decorate topped with fussy cut images. I added a chipboard sentiment and glitter to finish and think they look so much nicer than the original packaging.

I've shared how I made them and the measurements on my Youtube Channel and would love it if you are able to pop over and watch. Watch Video Here

Hope you like them and they give you an idea for last minute handmade gifts.

Santa and the Gang

 Hi Everyone!

Just popping by to share some cards I made for three of my lovely crafty friends. I really enjoyed making them and used Hello Bluebird's 'Family Photo' stamps and coloured the images with my Spectrum Noir Triblends.

I also made a little video giving my top tips for 'Batch Cardmaking with Stamped Images and Spectrum Noirs'. If you are able to pop along to my channel, and if you find it helpful, and can give the video a like and subscribe - that would be fab! Video Link https://youtu.be/KGcKLhbmKa4

Hope you like my latest makes!

Twelve Days of Christmas Layout

 Morning Everyone!

It sure is a cold and frosty one here!

Just popping on to share a family history layout of my lovely dad and his younger brother visiting Father Christmas at the John Lewis store in Liverpool in the mid 1940s. He would have laughed remembering the very vintage looking Santa.

I used Graphic 45's beautiful 'Twelve Days of Christmas' Collection for the layout. I love the rich colours of the papers, and although the image isn't sharp, I think the papers help bring it to life.

Hope you like it - I've added a little video about how I created it on my Youtube Channel Watch Here 

I'd love it if you are able to go along and subscribe!

 Hi All!

I'm back today with a festive make - this time some crackers using Mintay's beautiful 'Time of Wonder' papers and stickers. They are ideal for popping on the Christmas table or as decorative packaging for smaller gifts.

They were very easy to make with minimal supplies and I've included instructions in my little Youtube video https://youtu.be/XNbSddrPoNU

I hope you like these makes, and would love it if you were able to Like and Subscribe to my  Youtube channel.

Thanks so much!
