Perfect Blend- Take-out Coffee Card and my Top Picks from this Weeks Specials!

Hi there,

I have a card to share with you today using Perfect Blend stamp set, it's another class card (Message me if you would like to come along and make some new friends and a few cards too!) but first I want to share with you my top picks from this weeks Specials. Now, there are 7 great products on offer this week but of course we all have a favourite and mine are these fab ribbons in Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals- both just £5.96 for this week only and they tie a lovely bow as they are so soft {SEE HERE} and these fab wooden buttons, great for male cards of course and they are just £3.38, visit my shop to order HERE

 OK, onto today's card, I was playing around with Gorgeous Grunge again for this design and teamed it with Perfect Blend and the super little paper stack from the mini called Fresh Prints. I went with a monotone look using Coastal Cabana adding just a touch of grey and silver glimmer

Fresh Print is a fab paper stack for card makers because it comes in a 4.5"x6.5" (11.4cm x 16.5cm) stack with 4 each of 12 designs for just £6.25, that's 48 card size pieces of paper, cool!

To make this cup I stamped onto the paper once and then onto white card, cut the whole cup from the patterned paper and just the lid and wrap from white. Add the wrap with glue and the lid with dimensionals and a silver glimmer heart finishes this cup.

and these little hearts decorating the splatters are from the Owl Punch

OK, so that's me done for today, I hope you like the card?

Merry Christmas Belles and this years Christmas Day table :-)

Hellooo! 

Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you had a fab day with your nearest and dearest yesterday (and perhaps today too?). We had a lovely time with the Fam, chilling and plenty of eating, lol!

So, today I have the little gifts I made for my team to share with you today, these were wrapped in the "Pretty Packages" I shared with you HERE.

Now before I share them with you I have to give credit to my dear friend and fellow Jem, Kate Martin, she gifted me one of these at convention and I loved them so much I knew I wanted to make some myself, thanks Kate!

So, here are mine. I added my brooches to Deco Labels decorated with a blue and gold punched owl...

 all together :-)

 and a close up of the brooch part. 

I think they all got there gifts in time and hopefully they liked them? I have mine on my coat so I'm sure they will use theirs too :-)

 Now, I promised I would share my Christmas day table with you the other day, so here we go...

(the red on the cracker so didn't go with my theme but Zack wanted crackers this year ;-))

 left of the centre section.. I loved this little sledge as soon as I saw it ;-)

 the centre is a vintage style lemonade box filled with candles and curios, edged with a gorgeous laser cut Christmas place mat I cut in half and taped along each side,

 and to the right of the centre... 

look at my lovely little candle holders from my friend and downline Angela, thanks so much Angela, they looked stunning lit later in the day too xxx

Right, that's all for today!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your Christmas holidays with your nearest and dearest :-))))

Completed Milk Carton Bird Houses :-)

Hi there,

As I promised in my last post, today I am sharing the Bird Houses as hubby took them, all completed. I decided to make matching tags, again with Owls :-s and bag them up all decorated and pretty :-)

So, I started with the Deco Labels dies and stamped the Crumb Cake card layer using White Craft ink and (the retired) Serene Snowflakes again...

 adding another Owl  again accented with Red Glimmer Paper.

Go back to yesterdays POST to see all the ingredients you need to make the owl...

 and here the labels are all together :-)

 To complete these gifts I added them to a layer of white tissue paper "snow" in a Gusseted Bag (sold out from the clearance rack now, unfortunately) and added the tags with Linen Thread

 and to finish I added a few Glimmer paper punched trees to the snow :-)))

OK, That's all for tonight. 

I'll hopefully be back tomorrow afternoon with a new project to share with you.

Thanks, as ever, for stopping by today,

Stampin' hugs,

Mini Milk Carton Bird Houses with Christmas Owls

Hello there, 

Hubby went on his work Christmas do today and he wanted a little something for the girls he works with so this is what I spent a whole day last weekend making ;-)

I started with the Mini Milk Carton Die, some Crumb Cake card {the Crease Pad makes this job a lot easier as the score lines are a lot less likely to cut right through ;-)} and of course the Big Shot!

Once cut I folded the score lines and then before assembling I stamped with the Woodgrain Background stamp.

Top Tip: This die cut carton is too big to stamp all in one go, I simply folded it in half and stamped twice, this also gives the added bonus of the woodgrain was going vertically as it would naturally :-)

 To make the roof I punched strips of Early Espresso card with the Scallop Edge Punch, then stamped the strips using White Craft ink and the (retired) Serene Snowflakes stamp set. A current set that would work could be Festive Flurry. Then I inked each edge, again with white craft ink, before glueing them first together and then to the milk carton sides. 

A torn white card strip makes the snow cap and when removed allows access to the goodies inside :-)

 Then I added a Punched Owl accented with Red Glimmer Paper to the front,

and sat him on a Gumball green branch made with the Bird Punch

 and Santa Owl was topped with a cute hat :-) 

(Pennant Punch and Punch Pack)

 OK, I will share the finished bagged and tagged houses with you tomorrow but that's all from me for tonight.

I hope you liked today's treat holders and thanks as always for looking.

Stampin' Hugs,

A little more Christmas ;-)

Hello,

We,, I do know you are probably a bit sick of the whole Christmas projects by now, but I still have a few things to share, and seeing as I have made a couple of cards yesterday but by the time I finished it was just too dark to photograph them, Christmas it is! ;-) Lol!

OK I bought this wooden sign in the sale after last Christmas, maybe even the one before?? With the intention of altering it, I saw this saying on a sign on Pintrest and thought I would have a go, SU! stylie..

 Yummy NEW Red glimmer paper is on page 13 the new mini, I had this before today's catalogue went live as I can pre-order being a demo, message me to find out how you can join me :-)

alphabet is Timeless Type Sizzlits and I covered it with crystal effects to make it all pritty :-)

Well, that's it for today, I will be back tomorrow with more crafty goodness to share with you.

Don't forget to message me to place an order from either the new mini or the current Idea Book and Catalogue :-)

Thanks for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,
