festive treats

 

• Hunkydory festive elegance luxury card collection: festive treats
• Hunkydory second little book of Christmas
• Silver mirri card
• A5, DL and 6x6" card blanks
I made the first A5 card using the little topper squares from the collection. I covered the card front with the bright patterned card, cutting the section with the bow print to fit. I then spaced out the four square toppers in the mid section of the card and glued with foam pads. I added the matching insert inside to complete the card.

 Using the other half of the cardstock to create this 6" square card. I turned the sheet on its side so the pattern ran as a border down the side and trimmed to fit the card front. I then added the large rectangular topper, with the sentiment overlapping.

I used a coordinating sheet from the little book to make this A5 card. The rectangular frame worked well to edge the little book image and create separation from the patterned card stock. I covered the card front with the patterned card, then glued the image flat and the frame on foam. I finished the inside with the coordinating insert.

For this DL card, I used the remaining patterned cardstock and another of the square toppers. The image was printed on the cardstock, so I simply trimmed it down to fit on the DL card with a border of silver mirri card. I completed with the sentiment topper on foam in the space above the image and the insert trimmed to fit inside.

Wondrous wreath...

• SU!- wondrous wreath, more merry messages, number of years
• SU!- large number's framelit dies
• SU! ink pads - cucumber crush, garden green, watermelon wonder
• Archival 'jet black' ink pad
• Stickles- candy cane
• Red stitched ribbon
• 6x4" red card blank
• White cardstock 

I cut a matt of white cardstock to fit my card blank. I stamped the wreath image, using different coloured ink pads for the different layers of this image. I added red glitter to the berries and left it to dry. I stamped the sentiment and then added the banner image to frame this. I used the coordinating die to cut this out, then attached it to my card panel using foam tape. I glued the panel flat on to my card blank. The final touch was to add a bow to the bottom of the wreath.

The challenges i would like to enter:

Case this sketch- #179

Paper players- #302 (Christmas in July)

ABC Christmas- N is for no rules

bags of christmas !!

in preparation for Christmas, I have made a few gift bags ready for those little wrap ups. each of the bags was hand stamped with different designs, to suit a variety of people. I have also made coordinating tags, by cutting shapes from kraft cardstock, stamped with sentiments from the stampin up! set made for you and the matching stamped image (I placed these so part of the larger images or multiples of the smaller images were seen). I added accents of cosmic shimmer iridescent watercolour paints in various colours on a few of the bags to add a touch of Christmas sparkle. I fastened each of the bags with black or natural raffia (depending on the design) to finish... I'm sure anyone would be happy to find one of these filled with goodies under the tree !!
