Christmas Nativity

When I first saw the "Best of 25 years Christmas" stamp set I loved the little nativity scene and thought it would be great for me and my girls to make Christmas cards with.

Here is the card that I created I think I may need to make a little simpler for the girls x

I stamped the image using early espresso then coloured it in by picking up the colours from the ink pads with my watercolour pen.

I've used very non traditional colours for the card but I think they work well, what do you think? 

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Best of 25 years Christmas, Around Array, Petit Pairs
Inks:  Early Espresso, Baked Brown Sugar, Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Marina Mist, Soft Sky
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Whisper White, DSP Sweater Weather, Champagne Glimmer Paper.
Embellishments:  Baked Brown Sugar Ruffle Stretch Trim, Rhinestones
Accessories:  Oval Framelits, 7/8 Scallop Circle Punch, 1-1/4 Circle Punch

Hope you like it xx

Thursday's Card Class

Here are the projects that me and the girls created at my card class on Thursday evening.  We made a mini handbag which can hold two Yankee votive candles, I love them xx 

Putting them inside this little gift bag creates a pretty little gift, perfect for all of those special teachers at Christmas!

(I will update you with a Christmas version)

 

 

I found the purse dimensions HERE but I had to tweak it slightly to fit our A4 size paper.

 

Here's a close up

 

 

 

We then made a matching card xx

Time to get spooky.......

I wouldn't say we celebrate Halloween but the girls do love to dress up and visit family for some sweet treats.  Chloe would like to give some treats to her friends at school so here are some ideas for you,  for all your Halloween goodies. 

 

 

Here they are close up.......

 

 

A simple gift tag creates a great finish for a little treat bag.

 

A little witch gift box ties together and can hold 3/4 little chocolates (I love this one xx)

 

A mini purse holds a mini chocolate bar or packet of Haribo.

 

 

For the last one I have used one of our gift bags folded it in half and finished with a belly band, I love the autumnal colours on this one.

 

Hope you like it xx
