Merry Christmas

 Today, I am sharing a very quick and easy to make CAS card,
using snippets of papers and card from my stash.

I found some leftover pieces of papers and glued them to lightweight white card,
When dry, I used the square punch to make the presents, edging each one
 with a blue Promarker.

Using 3D foam pads, I positioned the presents on the embossed card base.
I die-cut three bows in the silver mirror card, trimmed them to size and
glued them to the squares.

Lastly I added the peel-off sentiment.

The products I have used are:

Woodware punch - medium square
Memory Box - Crisp Bows

Embossing folder - Brand unknown
Stampin' Up - Word Window punch

DCWV - The Christmas Printed Paper Pack
Promarkers

I am entering this card into
Pixie’s Snippets Playground - Anything Goes

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

A Handmade Doorstop

Today, I am sharing a doorstop I made recently for a friend for her kitchen door.
I used some upholstery fabric, this one used for blinds which was kindly donated
to me along with other fabrics by a neighbour before they moved house.

You can find the first one I made two years ago HERE

The zip is is the base and I used cat litter (in zip-lock bags) and wadding
 to fill the inside.

The handle on the top makes it easy to move when needed.

I met my friend for lunch in London last month, the first time in
18 months. She was really pleased with it.

My Time to Craft Christmas #024 - Anything but a Card

A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft Christmas
where the theme this fortnight is 'Anything but a Card'

Sharing my design team project - a Christmas Cracker


The details of the challenge can be found HERE

Using my We R Memory Keepers - Envelope punch board, I followed a
tutorial I found on YouTube to make this cracker using an A4 sheet of card,
cut down to 10" x 6.6"

After scoring and folding, I used double sided tape to complete the cracker.
I am using it as a gift box for Christmas, so after inserting the present,
I added a die-cut circle at each end to cover the inside of the cracker.

Lastly I added the ribbon, sentiment and punched silver mirri
card snowflakes.

The products I have used are:
We R Memory Keepers - Envelope punch board

Birthday Card for my Nephew

Here is the birthday card I made for my nephew last month.
I came across the idea for the design on Pinterest.

Going through my snippets box of design papers and card,
I found two pieces of blue paper and glued them to some
light weight card. I then edged them both with a blue Promarker.

The darker piece I glued directly onto the card base, and I used 3D
foam on the striped piece.

I stamped the sentiment using one of the stamps from the 
Woodware - Francoise Read 'Made for You' set onto white card,
cutting a banner tail end on one side.

I also edged it with the Promarker, then glued that onto the front
 and added a couple of enamel dots to finish.

Pixie’s Snippets Playground - Anything Goes challenge
