some of my Christmas creations

below is an unusual shaped card that I love to do, it is really easy and is made from 1 piece of A4 card - just cut it in half lengthways at an angle, fold into 4, then on 1 piece cut halfway UP the first and last creases, on the other one cut DOWN halfway, then slot these together and there you go, a lovely shaped card.

above is a 6 x 6 box I made to fit the card in,

and below are pictures of the card decorated with the Folk collection

below is a card made using the new build a scene

and I used the same die set for the one below, just to prove you can use it not only for Christmas

below is a card made using the 'folk Christmas' tree stamp set

below is one made with the 'floral Christmas' collection'.
I like to do  something a little bit different.

this one is from the 'jolly Santa' collection

and one of the card kits from 'wellington'

and this is one using the stamp from the 'floral' collection

and a decoupge card from the 'folk' collection

and another using scraps from the 'folk' and the nesting hexagons, simple but striking.

and last in this little lot is a wall hanging, made with the 'floral' collection'

exploding box

sorry for the delay again, but it is here at last,

 my Christmas version of the exploding box

I like using card candy, but had to make my own because I wanted it out of the same papers,

it is just small punched circles, shaped with an embossing tool, then put on with foam pads.

the tree is made from 5 trees cut using the nesting dies from xcut - the smallest one and cut the bottom off to fit, then stuck back to back.

below is the template for the box and then the lid

another couple of "one stamp" projects

I used the Oak House Studio walesby heart to decorate the jug made from a Dreamees template

I made the jug out of blue card, then matted cream card stamped with the walesby heart,

then I made the lupins from a small flower stamp from Oak House Studios,

the trailing ivy is different size ivy leaves from Oak House again, these are glued onto green memory cord and shaped as required,

   

the large flowers are the walesby heart layered up, one flower from the medium stamp, and 2 from the small one

I coiled a few pices of green card to add, and some dark green spiked leaves, and the 2 leaf stalks are leaf stamps glued onto a wooden skewer. The lupins are made on skewers too

then I made a christmas tree, by stamping different sized hearts in colour chemistry forest green, and pinning them onto a polystyrene shape, then added tinsel and bows
