Wednesday Wow - Peaceful Place lit church & winter scene...



Loved creating this project for display at christmas time... 

Using the Peaceful Place papers (sold out!),  Tombstone Treat boxes, Welcoming Window & Giving Gifts dies (sold out too)...  and a few battery tealights 

As well as a lovely tray picked up from "Poundland"!! Though it did cost much more than £1....

Merry Monday - Farmhouse Christmas Trio... Lit Box Frame, Bridge U Fold Card & Bakers Box Light

I have had a lot of Tutorial orders over the past few days for the Trio of projects I made last year using Farmhouse Christmas along with Winter WoodsRooted in Nature and Merry Christmas To You... (all of which have stamps and co-ordinating dies but only available separately now)
So I have realised that most of the products used are still available OR replaceable... so I thought I should share the information again in the one place... with pointers for creating something very similar this year... 
Just click on the Add to Cart button below to order and pay for the Tutorial bundle. This covers the Box Frame, Bakers Box and Bridge U Fold card  - and is a 15 page pdf document with lots of photos. Payment and currency conversions handled by Paypal. No Paypal account needed as Paypal or major credit cards can be accepted.
Edited 11am UK time to add: the "Paypal button glitch" has now been sorted! Thank you for your patience...
But firstly, Farmhouse Christmas is sadly no longer available (unless you are lucky enough to have it on the Clearance Rack in your territory! Even if you only have the dies for those fences!)
But an alternative tree or a deer would look nice instead.... or we have a few houses around... albeit mostly smaller... such as From Our Home to Yours...
Or even Grandmas House...
And you could even make a simple "Hygge" style one of your own! And there are lots of stamp sets with bare branch trees around... Natures

Here's the card example with a couple of Dashing Deer deer instead of a house... yup that would work nicely!
Secondly, the Twinkle Twinkle papers are not around... but there is a fabulous copper foiled stars on Night of Navy sheet in the Brightly Gleaming pack... so that's a really easy replacement...
Incidentally  (as I write this post) Brightly Gleaming has just come back into stock in the UK and so is orderable for us again (in Europe) though I have just checked and it is already on back order... but you can still order it now and it will arrive separately when it is back in stock...

And the Bakers Boxes are still available...
Or you could easily produce a 12x12 background sheet using inks as I did for the Bridge U Fold Card

The wood Merry & Noel embellishments are not around either... but easily replaced with about 5 die-cut Merry Christmas "merry"s - all stacked on top of each other to add the depth...
And last but not least... those die cut fences... I'd just go with an extra snow bank...but...

A picket type fence could be made using the Classic Label Punch and scraps of Whisper White card... shorten the punched shape down to about 1" with the point left to form the top of the picket fence...and stick onto thin strips of white card... with about 1/8"-3/16" gap in between. They won't be as intricate as the pictured fences... but they will do the job...
These projects were incredibly popular last year in classes... and I am definitely glad this is a set I wrote up the Tutorials for... though that was a "labour of love" last year I can tell you!!!

And I am now really looking forward to getting these all out again this Christmas... though I am quite tempted to make the alternative I have just described!!

Look what I bought!

Love these...
Spotted these last week in my local Home Bargains store... a string of lights plus loads of letters that you pop on the string...
Now what shall I spell out next...
Yes I know this is a bit different... but it is time for bed and my photos are on a slow boat in the iCloud from the iPad to my PC... so no new creation to share today and I can't even come back later and post as I have my lovely All Day Event ladies sharing the day with me... but lots coming your way...
