Last Christmas Makes of 2016!

Hello there,
So, as I didn't get a chance to blog the last few of my makes from Christmas I thought I might do one last 'combined' post for you to share the last of them with you. You now, just incase you have purchased these stamps/punches or kits and want to save them for next year? ;-)
My first card is one that can easily be adapted to make a fresh spring card by simply changing out the Christmas bell. I'll share a new version soon....
Colours used were (L-R) Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum, Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Mint Macaron.

 Now, this second card uses masking to make the branch from Holly Berry Happiness into a larger bough. I stamped it once in the centre then another two times either side before lightly watercolouring them using my clear Wink of Stella pen to make this card...

 Here are a few non-Christmas ways to use your Cookie Cutter Christmas and Halloween stamps and punch...
A Firefighter, a Ninja and a Lumberjack :-)

 And finally for today I absolutely loved making the tin of tags kit. I changed them up, just a bit, from the suggested ideas adding a little extra ribbon and foiled paper here and there. I used lots on my presents including adding some of them to these stamped and dry embossed paper bags this christmas :-)

Well, that's all from me for today and for Christmas projects too (for a while anyway!)
I'll have some new products and projects for you tomorrow, 'till then,

Cookie Cutter Halloween meets My Hero for a Get Well Wish using Stampin' Up! Products.

Hi there,
I have a fun twist on the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamps today. I have teamed them with the My Hero stamps (the fabulous Ronald McDonald charity set for this year) and Umbrella Weather framelits to make a Get Well Soon Card, take a look...

 Doesn't this little mummy look adorable as a patient? I lightly coloured the bandages with a touch of Smoky Slate and added some Blushing Bride around the eyes.

 So, when I went to stamp the umbrella and found the tip of the brolly was a separate stamp to the handle so here are my TIPS for stamping and die cutting the umbrella...

 I stamped the clouds and rain (from Weather Together) around the umbrella and patient and then die cut the clouds before adding the whole front panel with dimensionals. I then added the clouds flat through the gaps and topped a few of the rain drops with fine tip glue to make them shine.
TIP: Leave this card flat while the glue dries.

 So, that's my card for making the most out of your Cookie Cutter Halloween stamps :-)

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. I'll be back tomorrow with another,

Halloween Treats, A Video Tutorial and WIN A Whole Box of Mini Tic Tacs on this Jems Blog Hop Day

Hello there and welcome to this months Jems Blog Hop! You may have hopped here from the lovely Sharon's blog or you may have come straight here, either way, I do hope you will follow the hop all the way around as you're sure to see some amazing ideas and inspiration! Today we are all focusing on the new Autumn/Winter catalogue  which went live just 2 short days ago :-)

I've made a start on some cute Halloween treats that I designed to decorate some Mini Tic Tacs I bought in the duty free shop again this year :-) (I have previously made little pockets for them {HERE} using the envelope framelits, now retired) But more on the tic tacs at the end of this post...
Let's take a look at these Halloween treats..

I have so far used the Dracula, Skeleton and Mummy stamps from Cookie Cutter Halloween but wouldn't they be fab in Christmas designs too???

 They are designed to work with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch so no fiddly cutting out! Winner!
TIP: The punch is 10% cheaper with the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle!

So, here's a super quick video sharing the measurements and a few tips to make these spoooookily good treat holders..

Don't have any mini tic tacs to decorate? Well, place an order with me either online or directly (over £25, before post) or come to a card class during September and I will add your name into my prize draw to win your own box of 60!
