Christmas decorations

Just a quick post. I made some tiny little decorations to hang on the christmas tree. I made a tiny little box that sandwiched between two punched scallop circles decorated with the snowflake stamp from season of joy set.

 I made some little decorations

Triple treat flower boxes and gingerbread

I thought I'd share with you the lovely gingerbread men that Jessica made, they were very tasty.

I have made some more things with the triple treat flower stamp, I love this stamp as there is a punch to match everything! This time I used some vibrant colours, real red and night of navy stamped on whisper white, I think it gives quite a scandinavian look, what do you think?

I made some boxes and filled whem with chocolate balls from M & S, decorated with scallop border punch and decorated the top with the triple treat flower and lace ribbon punch.

 

I made a little matching gift card that fits into the mini scallop envelope.  These little boxes are easy to make and would look lovely at a dinner party as a favour box.

Triple treat flower birthday

It's Jessica's birthday, 8 today. I have made her a very pink birthday card, melon mambo and pretty in pink. I used the triple treat flower, a single stamp and it is great because it co-ordinates with fun flower, five petal flower and 1/2" circle punch.

Well I'd best finish making the sandwiches as we will have a house full of 7 and 8 year olds very shortly!

How to use a stamp-a-ma-jig!

I have often mentioned my stamp-a-ma-jig, (SMJ) and I bet a lot of you are wondering what on earth I am talking about! A SMJ is a brilliant tool that helps you align a stamp exactly where you want it, which is great for two-step stamps or if you want to stamp a regular background sheet. This is a stamp-a-ma-jig. Line your clear sheet so it fits snugly in the corner of your SMJ.

Then ink up your stamp and stamp the image with your stamp snugly in the corner.

Now put this stamped image wherever you want it on your card stock then make sure the SMJ is butted up to the corner of the image.

 Now carefully remove the clear sheet without moving your SMJ and put your stamp there instead.

Carry on this process if you want to fill in the whole sheet of card, aligning your clear sheet image next to your stamped one etc.

I stamped all the way down the card and used it to make this.

If I hadn't used my SMJ I would have made a big mess, believe me! If you would like to order one from me just let me know.



More Season of Joy!!

One more season of joy project, I promise, (for now anyway!).  Another chocolate box card, this time I used some traditional Christmas colours, real red and olive green.  I randomly stamped a sheet of whisper white card then cut it out to use on the cards.

I used the oval frame embossing folderas the punched extra large oval fits perfectly inside.
For the second card I used the four frames stamp and matching punch for the centre topper.

Chocolate Treat card

I have made some more chocolate gift cards for the craft fair.  Funny how most of the things I make for the craft fair involve chocolate!
I have used the Season of Joy stamp set again, I love this set. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word stamp for the background.

The first card uses night of navy and the second card bashful blue.  I used the scallop trim border punch for decoration.
