Christmas Decorations

Helloooo

I thought I would share some of the christmas decorations I made this year. . . . . .

The first is a punch art santa which I saw on Angela Purdey's blog (she has got some cute punch art with instructions available) this fellow isn't available yet but I managed to work out how to make him not sure he is totally correct but he looks pretty good.

 

 All parts are made using Stampin'Up punches. . . . . . . .

 

 These decorations were made using the ornament die and the snowflake die from Stampin'Up. . .

 

 Sorry this one was moving when I took the photo so its a little bit blurred. . . . .

 Don't they look gorgeous, I think this years christmas papers have to be my fave, I have used so much of them. . . . .

 

 These papers are just beautiful, the christmas tree die belongs to my friend I really love it unfortunatly its not available from Stampin'Up. . . . . . .

 

 I have used it again to make this gorgeous Happy Christmas banner, I have used layers of Stampin'Up Chrismas DSP. The letters are stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Lovely Letters Alphabet, punched out with the circle punch, then stuck onto a medium scallop circle and then onto a large scallop circle.

 

A couple of slits in the top for the Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim to go through. It looks really fab the pictures don't do it justice. . . . . . .

 

Anyhoo I hope you like some of the decorations I have made.
Thanks for stopping by. . . . . . . . . .

Leaving Card

Hellooooo

I made this card for our Snowy Owl (previously Brown Owl) who kind of retired from running our Brownie Unit, its an A4 card so I made a box to put it in. The first photo shows the card in its box.

 

 The card has four owls on it, Snowy Owl at the top, then Grey Owl, Brown Owl and Tawny Owl (me). Its hard to see on the photos, but each owl has a blue front which is our uniform colour and a tiny badge with the Girlguiding logo on.

 

The flowers are all made using Stampin'Up Punches, The large one uses the Ornament punch and the smaller ones the scallop circle punches.

 

We got all the Brownies to sign it, to say Thank You for all her hard work. We will miss her at the weekly meetings.

 

Anyhoo thanks for stopping by. . . . . . . . . . .

90th Birthday

Hellooooo. . . .

I was asked by a colleague to make a 90th birthday card for her mum, this is what I came up with. . . . .

 When I made the card I realised that it was never going to fit in an A4 envelope, he he, so had to set to and make a box for it to go in. I would have preferred a cream box with Gumball green stamping on, but unfortunatly I didn't have any cardstock big enough. So I had to settle for green. The recipient was very pleased with it so not to worry hey. . . . . . .

 Heres the card in its box. . . . . . . . . .

The sentiment is from the Lovely Letters Alphabet, so beautiful and elegant.

The large flower is made using the Stampin'Up ornament punch, its actually really easy to make, I spritzed it with some Vanilla Shimmer, it doesn't show very well but it looked gorgeous.

 The small flower is made using the scallop circle punches, this one used the 6cm and 4.4cm punches, I did a tutorial which shows me making them with the 4.4cm and the new 3.2cm scallop circle punch, same principal only different size punches.

Check out all those tiny pearls down the edge of the scallop border and in the middle of the itty bitty flowers, I got through quite a lot. Plus those lovely large pearls.

And that gorgeous Victoria Crochet Trim, I just love it, I've got through so many rolls of it.  Well I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by. . . . . . . . .

Christmas cards

helloooo. . . . . . . .

I have some more Christmas Cards to share, we made these at Novembers Card Class.
I am loving the new Christmas DSPs they are just gorgeous.
This card uses the Be of Good Cheer DSP, the colours are Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and a touch of Summer Starfruit (Star), the ribbon is the new Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon and the tree is from the Stampset Scentsational Season. The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations, I just love it..

I used the large scallop circle and the medium scallop circle punches, once stuck together I pricked through each scallop..

The papers are just gorgeous, they have a real Christmassy feel even when its just dots and stripes. This next card uses two of the stamps from the Ornament Keepsakes set, plus a little more Gumball Green ribbon and a cute little flower from the Itty Bitty punches. A dash of glamour with the new big pearls and a tiny one in the flower.

The pricking around the ornament is done using the new Festive Paper Piercing Pack, it gives you perfection every time.

More luscious paper from the Be of Good Cheer pack teamed with some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon and the Floral Frames Framelits and the Daydream Medallions stamp set. Don't they look lovely layered up like that...

This next card uses more of that DSP and the sentiment from Sassy Salutations and also the Snow Flurries Bigz Die, I've glittered it with dazzling diamonds glitter and poped a large pearl in the center.



Same card different sentiment, this one is from the lovely Owl Occasions Set.

This last card is similar to the first one, I just used the cute little reindeer from the Joyous Celebrations set, he is sooo cute..

I am also loving the Snow Festival DSP, I used it a short while ago when I made the little books, anyhoo thats all for now, hope you enjoyed my rather long post.
Thanks for stopping by. . .. . . . . . .
