Tuesday Tags... in Cherry Cobbler...

Another collection of the Tags & Tidings gift tags... this time in Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake...

These being to co-ordinate with my Cherry Cobbler wrapping paper...

Whereas the previous ones will match my Night of Navy papers!

#feelingquiteorganised as usually most of my tags are made in seconds on Christmas Eve!

Tags & Tidings in Crumb Cake...

Remember these Tags & Tidings tags...

And remember that I commented that everyone could match their own wrapping paper this year..

Well here are Denise's... in Crumb Cake and Real Red...

Lovely and Jolly... Ho Ho Ho!!!

Tuesday Tags & Tidings share...

8 simple tags for you... using the one stamp and one cut special Tags & Tidings set...

I love the little tags that stamp and cut out all in one go... but they are too small for my christmas presents! 

So what better way to up-size them ... but to create presents as tags....

Just simply heat embossed in white on Night of Navy... and decorated with a variety of ribbons and Bakers Twine...

And a great make in class... as everyone could tailor make to their own gift wrap... I just had to sort out the relevant coloured card for them... but more on that another day!

Santa's Workshop #3 & Finale for Merry Monday !

The last of the large Santas Workshop Memories and More cards...

With a couple more small ones for those of you that were looking carefully!

Yes I couldn't resist chopping up one of the larger cards... so bringing my card total to 23 in total... 12 small and 11 large...

Though of course my ladies ended up with 20 as they only got half of those speciality ones from their half pack...

But thinking on for next year... armed with a full pack...

This format can so easily be a 40 cards class!! Just perfect for Christmas!

Embellishment just using the stickers in the M&M card pack... Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Red Rhinestone Jewels (discounted in the Year End CloseOut Sale... so stock up for christmas berries & baubles next year! I certainly am!) and stripy Thick Garden Green & White Bakers Twine...

Simple on Sunday - Santa's Workshop Memories & More cards

So the 10 small cards were shared yesterday...  So today it is time for some of the large cards...

First up are the 6 Speciality cards in the pack... which are all lovely and glittery...

The ladies had half a pack of the Memories & More cards  (now out of stock unfortunately!)...so they had an either/or choice...Hopefully self explanatory with these photos...

But this one was the revered one!! I thought we were going to have an auction - or a game of Pit - mid class!

Embellishment just using the stickers in the M&M card pack... Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Red Rhinestone Jewels (discounted in the Year End CloseOut Sale... so stock up for christmas berries & baubles next year! I certainly am!) and stripy Thick Garden Green & White Bakers Twine...

Saturday Memories & More Santa's Workshop cards #1

So I finally succumbed... and did a Memories & More Santa's Workshop card class that have been all the rage this year! So here are a few different versions for you...

I just have the 10 small cards to share with you today...

So much so "all the rage" ... that the M&M card packs have completely run out of stock in Europe (& pretty much worldwide I believe)...

Though you can still buy the Red Cards & Envelopes packs...which are great value if you haven't spotted them!

They may be simple... and so easy to put together... but such fun...

And I still got 20 cards even thought I only used half the pack of cards!

And just adding embellishment using the stickers in the M&M card pack... Dazzling Diamonds glitter,

Red Rhinestone Jewels (discounted in the Year End CloseOut Sale... so stock up for christmas berries & baubles next year! I certainly am!)

and stripy Thick Garden Green & White Bakers Twine...

But just one regret... I didn't buy the co-ordinating Enamel Shapes... I think they were out of stock at the time... what a shame!

And 2 versions of this last card... as I started off adding Dazzling Diamonds glitter to make a glittery yellow bow( as shown below)... but then thought what the heck... and grabbed the gold glitter instead... 

And its funny... I prefer the gold bow in the flesh... but I prefer the yellow bow version from these photos!!

Hearts Come Home Special Christmas Card

... to me ... from Barbara...

Isn't this just stunning...

And I have to add...  that I think that the stamped and glittered houses panel is the nicest use I have seen of the house stamps in Hearts Come Home...

So I just had to share this before I start sharing (the somewhat more simple) projects I have made this week... Been a busy busy week!! On all fronts...

Thank you again Barbara... just beautiful... I feel SO honoured...

Those Pesky Elves...

Another card re-make for this week's classes using the Santas Workshop papers instead of Signs of Santa stamping, colouring and die-cutting... as per this card here...

But before I start... & just in case you didn't get to visit me yesterday!... Don't forget that the Retiring List has been published and The Year End Closeout Sale is in full swing...click here for all the news released yesterday!

Simple & quick -  but so so cute!!

And here are the die-cut papers and stamped versions side by side...

Oh and greeting from Merry Christmas to All... on a standard A6 card...

Simple Santa's Workshop cards for Merry Monday

So the Santa's Workshop suite is out and about for classes here this week... and in my usual style I just had to "tweak" some of the cards I had already made...

But before I start... a couple of news items!

Come back here Wednesday 5th December for the Year End Close Out Sale... and the official launch of the new Stamparatus Craft & Carry bag!

And do you know that I operate Christmas Wish List and Gift Voucher services? Click here to contact me for more information and/or the Wish List file... but bear in mind orders need to be placed by 12th December latest for Christmas delivery...

So back to the card... this one is a card that "grew and multiplied"... inspired by this Signs of Santa swap card made by Julie... love the Poppy Parade dots and dashes border...

Just added to a 5 1/2" Square card blank with some flocked and stripy paper...

And then I had to make another one and add this cute image! It certainly makes me feel more merry! Though I do think that I should have coloured the drink in the glass... maybe more beer than milk for our Santa with this greeting !!

And you do have to love a bit of fussy cutting in an evening! (well I do!!)... as this image is cut straight from the Santas Workshop papers... simple papercrafting at its best!

Beautiful Box Frame Wreath for Merry Monday

As you all know...  I love to share my team's creations from time to time... and today is no exception to that rule as I seriously love Kate's beautiful home decor project... and I know you will too...

A true stunner in a frame... incorporating an Ikea Ribba 23cm Box Frame with lots of punching and die-cutting using the Sprig Punch, and Pretty Pines, Everyday Jars, Large Letters dies...

And finished off with a touch of Frost White Shimmer Paint on the letters and greenery...

Didn't she do (very) well!  So thanks so much for letting me share Kate....

I just love it... so now where is my spare Box Frame!!!? And guess who is about to order the Sprig Punch!!!

And for all my UK friends... especially those with younger children... Happy Bonfire Night... Enjoy the celebrations...  and Stay Safe...

And even more Signs of Santa...

Lovely bit of Stampin Blends colouring in on this card... even I enjoy this amount of colouring ! In Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate & Dark Daffodil Delight ... With Ivory and Light Calypso Coral for those chubby cheeks!

Finished off with Dazzling Diamonds glitter for the snow...
