JOY

Hello and happy Sunday. I’m so pleased that you have popped by.

It’s Father’s Day in Australia today – so happy Father’s Day to the men in your family.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you.

For this project I have teamed the Merriest Moments Bundle with the Tidings of Christmas 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The colours are Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Sahara Sand and Soft Succulent.

I also used the Seasonal Labels Dies, from the Christmas Season Bundle, to create the layers on the centre front of the card. A length of Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon was folded under the Cherry Cobbler panel. I folded a narrow strip of DSP to create a paper ribbon and adhered it over the top die cut panel. The greeting, from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed.

The poinsettia shaped flowers and leaf were cut with the Merriest Frames Dies. I used the Snowy White and Red Velvet Sheets to cut these elements. The texture of these velvet sheets is lovely and soft.

I added die cut velvet flowers to the card insert and envelope before placing Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the card.

The next time I make this card I will dry emboss the Cherry Cobbler and Soft Succulent panels.

Until next time, happy stamping.

CHRISTMAS FAVOURS

Hello! Thank you for popping by today. I hope you like the project I have to share with you.

After yesterday’s ‘Bring on Christmas’ post, I thought that I would stay on theme today. So, I decided to use the new Pretty Pillow Box Dies that is available to customers from August 3rd.

For many, many years I have made my own Christmas bonbons or favours boxes to place on our Christmas table. So, here is one for 2021.

It is a super cute little pillow box measuring 3-1/2″x 2″. I was going to pop some Hershey Kisses chocolates inside the box but my recently purchased packet seems to have grown feet (hmmm – I have a suspect in mind!).

I cut the pillow box using the soon to be available Kraft 6″x 6″ Paper. After I assembled the box, I created a little bellyband to hold the flap in place. Then I used the new Snowy White Velvet Sheet to cut several flowers, in the two sizes.

These flowers were then attached to the bellyband and the right hand side of the pillow box, using Mini Glue Dots. Then I stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set and cut it using another die from the pillow box set. I cut a length of Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon and secured it through the space at the top of the tag. This tag was then adhered onto the bellyband.

Finally, I attached several Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centre of the flowers and onto the tag. This is a very cute little pillow box and will look lovely on our Christmas lunch table. (I’ve already ordered 3kg of prawns – super organised!).

Here is a photo of some of the new products that I won’t be able to include in the shopping cart area below, until after the catalogue is live to customers.

What do you have on your Christmas table?

Happy stamping.

Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
