Spellbinders Poinsettia ~ We wish you a merry Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you are all well and had a good day yesterday.  I am feeling much better than yesterday which is good news.

So onto today's card I thought I would add some sparkle, so have created this card using some gorgeous mirror boards and glittery brads.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First to the front I adhered some red patterned Christmas paper.  Next using some red and green mirror board and Spellbinders 'poinsettia' die set I die cut and embossed two large and one smaller poinsettia as well as the leaves. Once embossed I layered them up and added a faux pearl to the center that was coloured with a ProMarker.  The leaves and poinsettias were then adhered to the card.  Next using an off cut of the background paper I stamped my sentiment using Creative Expressions 'Christmas toppers' stamp set and black soot distress ink.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  A mat was cut from green mirror board using Spellbinders 'fancy tags two' die set.  The tags were adhered together and red glittered brads were added to the tag holes before being attached to the card.

The Snowman and the Snowdog

Hello bloggers I do hope that you had a better day than I did yesterday, I was ill with a migraine all day :(
Anyway by night time I was able to put together this card for you.


This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I adhered some silver snowflake embossed card stock to the front of the card.  Next I cut some snowflake patterned paper down to size and matted it onto the silver card stock.  The toppers and bunting were printed onto white card stock using Crafter's Companion 'the snowman and the snowdog' CD_ROM.  These were all cut out and the two toppers were placed towards the bottom of the card.  Then I added some tinsel twine to the top of the card and adhered the bunting to it. Finally I added a mirrored gem to form the snowdogs' ball.

Merry Christmas ~ English, French, German

Hello bloggers, yesterday I spent most of the day making Christmas envelopes using My Paper Stash Envelope Creator.  I also made this card using Justrite Stamps.  I hope you managed to get some sort of crafting into your day.


This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First of all I got my medium sized slimz block and layered it centrally on the card.  Then using festive berries distress ink I inked all around the edge of the slimz block to create the red border.  Next I stamped the main content of the card the text.  This was done by mounting all of the stamps from Justrite clear 'Large merry Christmas sentiments' stamp set onto the slimz block in different directions.  It was then stamped using pine needles distress ink.  Next using some green mirror board I die cut the holly using Spellbinders 'poinsettia frame' die set. I repeated this four times.  The berries were added to the holly using Cosmic Shimmer 'berry red PVA'.  Once dried the holly was adhered to each corner of the card.

Makey Bakey Mice Holly Jolly Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday, I spent the day at the allotment which was lovely.  Today's card is another card using the amazing Makey Bakey Mice stamps from Crafter's Companion.



This card began as a white A5 card blank.  First I cut down to size and adhered some polka dot backing paper that I printed off the Makey Bakey Mice CD-ROM.  Next I stamped the topper onto some white card stock using black soot distress ink and Crafter's Companion 'makey bakey mice holly jolly Christmas' stamp set.  I then coloured the image using ProMarkers.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'hexagons' die set.  After die cutting I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  Next I used some white card stock to die cut the snowflake using Spellbinders 'snowflake pendant 2010' die set.  Once die cut I stamped the 'deck the halls' sentiment into the center of the snowflake using black soot distress ink.  Next I die cut the holly embellishments using some green card stock and Spellbinders 'holly motifs' die set.  Once these were die cut I inked them with pine needles distress ink as I didn't have the correct shade of green card stock.   The holly corners were adhered to three corners of the card. Finally I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock using black soot distress ink.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  The four leafed holly embellishment was added to the tag with a metal snowflake brad.  The tag was then adhered to the card.

Poinsettia Christmas Wishes

Hello bloggers I hope you all had a great weekend.  I know I did I spent the weekend indulging myself in sewing.  Now for today's card which has been made using Spellbinders grand borders poinsettia die, I so love this die as it enables the petals to be dimensional whilst still attached to the card.

Live your Life and forget your age

Hello bloggers today I have gone all green with my card, not too sure that it shows up well though in the photo.

My Paper Stash ~ Envelope Creator

Hello bloggers I have recently purchased a new product on the market called an envelope creator and thought I would share my thoughts on it with you.





It is made by My Paper Stash and consists of two pieces of plastic held together by a plastic nut you lock and unlock.  For those of you older enough to remember it resembles the shape of a well known game character 'Pacman'.  It is simple to use no measuring which makes the time of making envelopes for your card even quicker.  It is not like other envelope makers on the market which require measuring and scoring of different lines.  To use it you put your card on to your paper and mark the corners of the card.  Next put the envelope creators notches onto two of your marked points.  Now you draw or score to make one half of your envelope.  You now flip it and do the same on the other side. Next you cut it out and adhered the flaps on your envelope.  It can be used to make enveloboxes and envelopes of any size from A4 down to teeny weeny ones.

It also folds into itself to make it easy to store and transport if you attend classes.  Instruction are written on the product so no more lost instructions when you have forgotten how to use it.

I love this new product no more measuring and faffing about for ages trying to get the perfect envelope for the card you have made that is an irregular size.  I may even sell my other envelope board.

This review is of my own opinion, I purchased this item with my own money and it has not been sponsored or endorsed by any companies or persons.

I hope that you enjoyed my review and it helps you with better crafting.

Penguin and Snowflakes ~ Merry Christmas

Hello bloggers today's card is a simple card consisting of chipboard elements and some patterned paper.


This card began as a pre-printed card blank which has a snow scene on one side and a snowflake background on the other.  I chose to use the snowflake background as the front of my card which is 6x4 in size.  First I cut a strip of snowflake patterned paper and  adhered it down the center of the card.  Next I added a chipboard topper of a group of penguins to the bottom of the card.  i then added a single penguin topper to the top of the card.  In between these I added a sentiment.  Originally the sentiment has a Santa on the corner so I pulled that off and replace it with a chipboard snowflake so it was more in keeping with the theme of the card.
