So I needed another three place settings, I figured that these would be my next two.
Christmas Chapel Boxes from SVG Cuts I wanted these to be dainty and pretty and I think that I have achieved that.
Pearls are from Mei Flower I think they have the best value for money in pearls and gems.
All of the trim came from my local haberdashery and the papers came from Stampin Up.
Now I need to find something fun for Jack as all of the adults are now sorted.
Its blog hop time again and your chance to win one of two $5 credits for Mo's Digital Pencil too...so don't forget your comments on our DT's blogs along the way...our host this month is Alexandra and you should have landed here from Mina
Our theme is Create a gift Tag and I’ve used an image called Valerie with Snowball from the Valerie in Winter image set from Mo’s Digital Pencil
She is such a darling to make into a gift tag, I added fake snow and glitter and some diecuts along with gems from Mei Flower
a little close up of the fun image and the textures on the tag.
Next up is the ever so talented Gretha
Remember to leave comments on all of the blogs for a chance of a $5 credit.
Each year I try to add something a little different to the Christmas Dinner Table, something with a bit of interest,
This year will be the same and I thought making some of these and adding a little gift inside the bottom box would do the trick. I need 6 place settings this year to these are the first three and I will make a different top to the box for the next three.
I used a template set from SVG cuts to make the boxes.
Now I’m a great lover of Gingham Ribbon and this from Mei Flower is simply gorgeous and better still it is half price at the moment so go and fill your boots,
I though you might need a closer view of one of the boxes.
I’m slowly getting there, Christmas shopping is officially a drag. Every year I’m going to start early and be prepared but it never ever happens.
Is it just me? I’m sure others are struggling too. Nobody seams to know what they want and each year just gets even more difficult.
My Mam is the tops this year as she told me straight away what she would like, easy peasy bought straight away with no fuss, just some surprises to sort out.
The worst to buy for is my eldest daughter Lauren, she hasn’t got a clue what she wants. Youngest daughter Natalie all done and dusted.
This year our Grandson Jack is getting a new coat, I would like a few surprise bits that he would enjoy but my Mam always got my girls new coats which helped me out immensely so I thought I would carry on the tradition.
I’ve started the humongous job of sorting out my craft stash, I really need to get my craft room organised, the heap on the desk just keeps growing that I fear I will be buried underneath it never to be found again.
Are you all done?
Today I’m sharing a card made with the Bow Bells Digi stamp from Just Inklined
I used the Graph’It markers from Polka Doodles to colour this beauty.
Bells-: 1250, 3110, 0000
Bow-: 5210, 5220, 5245,
Pine Sprigs-: 8270,8260
I used German glass glitter on the cut out frame which was made on the Silhouette Portrait.
A few iridescent gems from Mei Flower and a bit of love to finish.
Topiary Bird House from the new Spring and Summer 3D Template CD
What is amazing with this CD is that you can use it whether you have a cutting machine or not, it caters for both with step by step instructions and pictures and files in PDF and SVG.
Papa’s Trunk is a great gift box for men's presents, it could even be decorated as a tool box.
A little recap of some of the items I have made from the CD
