Christmas Is On The Way

My 84 year old mother has recently moved into a care home. She has been making her own greeting cards for many years, but can't manage them anymore. When she moved she told me to take her card making supplies home.

I think I am going to have to reorganise my craftroom to accommodate it all. There is absolutely loads of stuff. A lot of it brand new in unopened packets.

Every crafter knows to get ahead of the game you need to be making for Christmas now. Every year I aim to be ready in time and always end up making my family and friends cards at the last minute.



This is one of the unopened kits I found at my mother's house. I think it came from the works. It's a very nice little kit.

There is enough to make 12 cards. There are 12 sheets in the pad and each sheet has all the die cut elements to make one card. They are very easy to put together and are very pretty.



As you can see they are lovely little cards. I think I am likely to use them to give to work colleagues this year.

I said there is enough to make 12 cards, actually there is a lot more. There are quite a few embellishments left over, along with some lovely little toppers. When I have made up the full kit I will do another post on how I used up all of the left over "bits"

Happy Crafting.

Creative Christmas Crafting

     Today's card is made using the Paper Pantry Vol X11 USB by Creative Crafting World. I used an 8x8 in card blank. I used a mat of gold mirri card which I cut to 7.75 by 7.75 ins and then glued it onto the front of the card. I chose two matching backing papers. These paper patterns are also reflected in the topper I chose. I chose the decorative paper first and cut it to 7.5x7.5 ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. Next I cut a piece of gold mirri card at 5.25x5.25 ins and glued it in the middle of the card. I cut the green paper at 5x5ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. The plain green paper is one of the coloured cards from the Collection. As it was just going into mats and layers I just printed it onto paper. I chose the topper and when I had cut it out I measured it and cut a piece of gold mirri card quarter of an inch bigger all around. Then I carefully glued them into the centre of the card. You could leave it at that but I wanted to add something extra. I had...

Making Videos

As you know I am busy getting content onto my YouTube Channel. I have made several videos over the last couple of weeks. I am not 100% comfortable with talking on videos. I am very aware of my very Geordie accent. I also get very nervous and feel like I am stumbling over my words, or in some places I feel there are awkward silences. I have tried making videos with no commentary in them, but they aren't right either. I am hoping I have found the solution to my problem. I have discovered this handy little app. It has enabled me to edit photos together and add text instructions to the pictures. I have been playing with it over the past couple of days, and so far I am impressed. I shall be adding videos made with this app soon. In the meantime if you would like to check out my YouTube Channel  you can find it here  Celticmoon Crafts YouTube Channel Until next time Happy Crafting
