Christmas in June
It's sooner than you think!
I'm back at Create and Craft TV at 9pm 22nd of June with the Hunkydory Christmas Craftinator, this a humongous kit that will tick all of the boxes for all of your Christmas cards.
I have decided to show some fancy folds with my demonstrations for the show, I know that I like to make and give special cards for my family at Christmas time and I am sure you will be the same.
As you can see from the image below you also get the special edition magazine with this kit to give you oodles of inspiration.
For thos of you that are planning to watch the show check out my poinsettia brooche that I made out of some of the mirri dazzle card from previous shows.

Brusho Art
I took the plunge and opened my pots of Brusho paint which had been sitting on a shelf for around 5 years, mostly because I never had the time to explore them.
I took a pokey tool and made a hole in the top of each pot and then started to play, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with my pieces of background art but here it is, my first Brusho art.
I have to be honest, it felt good to get my hands dirty and my fingers are now stained with blue, turquoise and black paint but I’m sure it won’t take long to get them cleaned up.
I used the La La Land tree die on one piece of the background and die cut a couple of trees layering them up on another background and then used some snowtex paste to add some texture, finished with lots of distressing and matting and layering and a couple of gems on the trees.
I think the packaging may have changed since I purchased mine but you get the information on it.

Festive Splendour Hunkydory
I’m all for using up all of my bits and pieces when buying a kit and this seamed the perfect way, after using a couple of the toppers to make cards I can find that I have spares on the sheet and occasionally a background card too.
Festive Splendour from Hunkydory has so many pretty background sheets that I thought it would make a perfect designer gift box to accompany the card I had made.
I also used some Adorable Scorable for the box base in a contrasting colour.
Now pop in a few home made sweets or maybe cookies and you have the perfect Christmas treat in a beautiful gift box.

Christmas Wrapped Up
Well nearly anyway, I’ve just about finished, 2 more things to wrap and my job here will be done, This year I decided I would use lots of brown paper, I used a high quality roll 50 metres of the stuff and then some contrasting wrapping papers, red bows kraft gift tags and I am awaiting 2 x 25metre rolls of ribbon to arrive to tie packages together, if it doesn’t get here they will just have to wobble.
How are you all getting on?

Demonstration Day
I have started to get ready for a demonstration day for Stix2 and Woodware, I have been playing with samples and trying new products and thought you may like to see what I’ve been up to.
This card was made using the Stix2 Hot Glue Gun and the Tri Pack of Seed Bead and Glitter and the silicone glue.
Also the Woodware Clear Magic Holly Panel stamp, Tombo Pens and Gold Metallic Wax Paste.
The Hot Glue Gun was used for all the glitter embellishments, it was brilliant fun making my own twinkling 3d stuff and so easy to do. I used this silicon glue to add them to the card.
The stamp image was coloured with the Tombo pens and I stamped the image twice as I want the holly to be 3d, again using the Stix2 silicon glue to make the leaves pop.
I used the gilding wax paste over the embossed card and on part of the stamp image.
The demonstration day will be 18th October at Dainty Toys in Washington.
