A big thank you to my thirteen year old son Adam who filmed and edited the video for me and without him it would not have been possible.

Stampin up christmas cards

A couple of quick cards I made with the stampin up bauble set, I stamped them in black then coloured them and added gold metalic rub on paste, the papers are old scraps I was using up and the die hanger is a marianne one

My christmas crackers

Every year I buy cheap crackers and put my own gifts in, minature bottles of perfume, cufflinks, jewellery and nice chocolates. This is the picture of them straight out of the box

The finished crackers. i have decorated them with my borderabilities in cream and gold papers, tied nice gold tinsel round them and added toppers made from gold card cut from oval nestabilities, I added gold holly leaves (I bought a big bag years ago from lakeland) and little snowflakes which were from a christmas garland I cut up.

Close up picture

Definitely the last for the year

My last side step and my last christmas card. Gold card embossed with swiss dots folder, again added glitter and gems

It's a side step again!

Inspiration was lacking at the last minute so all my cards have ended up as a variation on a theme - that being my favorite side step! I have embossed the mirri car with the swirls embossing folder and added gems and glitter

vintage santa

A4 size side step card. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the gold card, I have added gem stones and glamour dust although they are not showing up too well.

holly stamped card

here you go nettie, your christmas card. I stamped the background with a tiny holly stamp and stamp pens, it took me ages! LOL Each little spring was stamped individually. Then I mat and layered my circle nesties and stamped a greeting. there are also touches of glitter and gems that do not show up very well.

Winter wonderland

For this card I have used the cuttlebug embossed tree, mat and layered with a stamped border

Christmas

I have made this quick christmas card using a freebie from Jaks blog check her great blog out, I added a bit of glitter and a few swirls cut from a small sizzix die.

A little bit of stitching

A stitched candle, the borders are borderabilities classic lace, I borrowed it from a friend and loved it so much I have ordered it

Side step card

When I saw these cards I knew I had to have a go and I have had so much fun with the template. It is made from a single piece of A5 card in white, backed with snowflake backing paper which has been edged with dark blue ink, the snowmen have been glittered with glamour dust but this does not show up.
nestabilities ribbon slider and letters from sizzix alphabet set.
I think I will change the ribbon later it's a bit dark.
Watch out more of these to come! LOL
