Christmas Front door card

I came up with this christmas front door card, and tried out 3 variations before I settled on the far right one as the one to go with. It’s quite easy to put together as it’s panels of card which I have hand embossed around,( stampin Up naturals ivory) and made the wreath with punched leaves, a ribbon bow and some liquid pearls in red, and kindyglitz. Don’t forget the door knob! Inside I wanted to look like a mantle piece so used two pieces of patterned paper ( kaisercraft twig and berries) and my stampin up stocking punch . I made little christmas cards to put across the top of my mantle piece using images from a piece of graphic 45 paper.My holidays are over, and I am back at work, so a little worn out, and may not make it into the craft room tonight – we will see! Til tomorrow….

another use for stocking punch

O.k. My web master is not here, and my blog is doing strange things – hopefully you will all be able to see the photo and read my bit – I packed up all my xmas card making bits and pieces, and as I had my Stampin up stocking punch in my hand I remembered a card I had seen elsewhere which used said punch as baby bootees, so here is my take on it…I have used Kaisercraft Lullaby papers and a Martha Stewart punch, and some ribbon as well.Another hot day here in Adelaide – No crafting tonight , but I must pack my car ready for the market tomorrow, Til tomorrow….

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas To Everyone…Be safe and Enjoy!

Deck the halls 2

This one is a favourite – Melissa francis deck the halls paper,ribbon, lace and a charm! The stockings are punched with the Stampin Up stocking punch. This punch is great for using all those strips of scrap paper and the end result is great too. Tonight if I get a chance I am going to create some birthday cards, as my boxes are still empty from my last market visit Til tomorrow…..

xmas stockings

Here is a brilliant way to use up those srips of leftover paper. The paper used here is scraps I had leftover from a Kaisercraft range from last year. The cardstock is Poppy parade by stampin Up and the stockings were punched from a Stampin Up punch. A must have in your xmas box! today I have been sorting through photos to put in the scrapbook layout I did last night over at Paper flourish with a visiting Prima demonstrater from canada. It was a great night, and I truly learnt a lot, but I think it would be easier to pick out your photos and build your page around them – The page we did was full of gorgeous products, but I have 2 boys, and 5 nephews ( Only 1 niece)  so its a challenge to match photos, but I got there in the end and look forward to tonight when I will put it all together.. Til tomorrow…..
